ooficejet HP 6600 not scan, copy or fax

I get an error "unable to scan, copy or fax" on my hp officejet 6600.  I have already tried powerdown and back up and it did not work.  I also checked for updates and all this so far.  Any ideas on what could be the problem and how to fix it?

Hi kscheck,

I understand that you have a 6600 Officejet who tells you that it is not able to scan, copy or fax. I'm sorry to hear that, but I'll do my best to help you.

I read that you don't have a power reset, by unplugging and reconnecting the printer, but you have plugged the printer directly to a wall outlet yet? Just, which ensures that the printer gets all the power it needs to function properly.

If the printer is plugged into a wall and that you are still unable to scan, despite the update and reset of the printer then the last option to try is a partial reset. Please read this privacy statement for HP: http://bit.ly/pCUQT7 and continue to check your Inbox for the reset instructions.

If the reset does not solve the problem, your only options than others is to call HP Technical Support in your area and inquire about what they can do for you now.

Hope this helped, have a great day!

  • New HP Officejet 6600 will not scan, copy or fax

    I have a 6600 Officejet from HP that will not scan, copy or fax.  Oper. The system is Vista 32 bit.  Printer purchased April 30, 2012.  Error message says: Scanner fialure - unable to scan, copy or fax.

    Hello Plypal

    You can try the HP scan diagnostic utility first, but in general the failure of the Scanner is a hardware problem that must be repaired. You can find the number of the media on the link below as well as the link to the Diagnostic utilities.

  • failure to scan, copy and fax for HP Officejet 4500

    I'm trying to scan with my HP Officejet 4500 and it is not allowing me to do. When I turn on the printer it says "failed to scan. "Cannot scan, copy or fax. When I try to scan, I have the wireless option to send it to my computer and when I choose my computer, nothing happens and it takes back me to the scan, copy, fax menu.

    I tried installation and resettlement and unistalling too many times. I also unplugged all the wires. Nothing works. I had problems with this mutiple printer and it is not even a month. How can I solve this problem.

    I'm afraid that the error you are getting means that the firmware is glitched, or the scanner lamp is out. If the firmware is glitched, the printer might actually be fixable, but if the scanner lamp is out, there is no much you can do. The document below will take you through a few steps to try. If this does not work, try to do a partial reset. If nothing works, you need to replace your printer. If you are still in warranty, HP can replace the printer without cost to you. I'll link the information to get in touch with them below. The link takes you to a form to fill out. Once you fill it and she is treated, it will give you the printers warranty information, a file number and the phone number to call.

    4. wait for 30 seconds.

  • HP C7240 message "Unable to scan, copy or fax" appears when I lift the cover on dish

    This happened for some time. Whenever I raise the lid, this message appears: "unable to scan, copy or send a fax. If I type "OK" everything returns to normal. I am able to fax and scanning from the doc feeder, but some things are just too thick to put thru. I tried to put my paper under the lid while the appliance has been turned off, so I was not raised the lid, perhaps thinking he might still scan from the dumpster, but no. I get the same message as soon as I turn on the printer. Running Windows 7.

    In addition, there is a line on my paper when I scan through the doc feeder. No idea how to get clean or repair everything that makes the line?

    Thank you!

    Yes, life has a way of doing that sometimes.  I'm you a link to a document of troubleshooting for lines in copies of the automatic feeder (ADF) documents.  Click here  A thorough cleaning of the ADF will probably solve this problem.

    The error message "Unable to copy, scan or fax" may be more difficult to overcome.  On the only step left that could be considered would be a semi full reset.  This reset the default printer and clear the memory.  If the printer was on a wireless network, it should be removed and would need to be reconnected.  If you want to try this, I can send you the steps in a private message.  I need you agree to not post the stages.  Let me know what you decide.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8620: Officejet 8620 Unable to scan, copy or fax error

    I get the error failed to scan copies or faxes with my 8620.  I tried resetting and have tried to connect different points of sale with the same results.  I had a year ago, so I'd say it's probably out of warranty.  I could not find someone working on local printers.  My loan to scrap 8620 or he hopes?

    After using Google I found the phone # contact HP is 1-800-474-6836.  They send a replacement printer.  After speaking with a supervisor, I was informed that they have technical problems with the HP Web site.  The site will throw you in an endless loop, and there is nothing you can do to talk except calling HP directly.  They said that they are working.  It is now more than three weeks.

  • HP c7280 not scan from Windows fax and analysis

    Why my scanner not scan from this windows fax and scan of program?  I have win 7-64 bit os, hp printer connected by usb. Everything works, but scan. I had downloaded originally Hp update for win 7 but I have a new hard drive and I really didn't want to upgrade their software at random here. I did 5 scans but it is only one per day. Then I get the message that he was able to complete the scan, I got the message that another program may be using the scanner,
    Is this a driver problem, it does not seems to me. It sounds more like a problem of windows 7 that the analysis files get mixed or not accessible, or they cannot be found.
    for the hp imaging device you need only 4 files:
    c:\Windows\System 32\drivers\ksthunk.sys
    c:\Windows\System 32\drivers\usbscan.sys
    c:\Windows\System 32\drivers\hpotiop1.dll
    c:\Windows\System 32\drivers\hpowiav1.dll
    I know there is a current specific problem and it is not with all these printers that have filled the forums. Is there anyway someone who knows the files could see what is happening?
    If you try to scan is supposed to appear in the process and services? The analysis of the test says it's although the printer is enabled. I had downloaded installed and software uninstalledHp from their site at least 12 times. But I note on installation sometimes that the hp installation page is different as if all the options are not listed as the file reading, or install the imaging device. Sometimes it would be just a Setup button. The software essentials and solutions had avaiilble different buttons each time. I'm in my intelligence
    end, try to understand this. If someone would like to just say that this will not work on win 7 so I quit.

  • Officejet HP6700: HP6700 Scanner failure: unable to scan, copy or fax

    This morning my 6700 Officejet come with failure scanner error message on his screen and refused to do anything.

    I tried the method on the suport online - remove the power cable when he was conducting and the checking of the firmware, but no joy.

    It happened that we had bought an another identical Officejet a couple of years, so I plugged that is placed. Everything was fine and I printed a document, but now this evening, this one has the same error message. I tried the solution again and checked that the drivers are up-to-date (which they are) but not joy.

    Help! (please)

    Nothing has changed on our Setup - BT wireless broadband, computer Pavilion 23.

    Hello

    Please try the steps below...

    While the printer turned on, unplug the power cord from the back of the printer. Wait 60 seconds. Plug the power cord printer directly to a wall jack (bypass surge / power strip) and then to the printer.

    Open the scanner cover, and then press black COPY. Check if the scan transport moves and it's on. Transport scan is not turned on or move in all, then its time to replace the printer.

  • OfficeJet 4630 does not scan/copy

    My 4630 prints well but when I scan (or copy) things I get a small image with vertical lines all the way down the entire page (not just the image).  I tried connecting direct wire and wireless - I'm getting the same problem.  Ran 'fix' software with no luck.

    Thank you for your advice.

    Hi NaplesVince,

    Thanks for providing the screenshots.

    Sorry, that did not help.

    It looks like a hardware problem with the printer or the scanner bulb.

    I recommend you call HP Tech Support to get help to see what other options are available to you.

  • Photosmart 7510 will not scan. Print, fax, Eprint, everything works, but not software for scanning

    I spent over 10 hours on the phone with Technical Support, Cloud Computing service and an escalation of HP handler.  The escalation of HP Manager ran a cleaner tool to remove completely all HP printer software and reinstalled.  Now, everything works except for analysis.

    Using the utility to scan the PC gives HP, "the series of HP Photosmart 7510 was not found"

    Using Scan of the computer for the printer display gives, "make sure that the HP printer software is installed.  I can, however, scan-to-one chip memory inserted in the computer, but is produces a jpg file and I need PDF.  All scanning software worked before technical support and escalation of HP is involved.

    Hi Bob,

    I discovered that Windows has made a number of updates to security on my computer.  Therefore, windows do not see the 7510 as a device scan and judged that he was a suspect and deactivated engine part analysis of the HP software.

    Reinstall the printer as a wireless printer, and then by reactivating the printer to scan, my HP software came back and now everything works as advertised.

    I think you were on the right track.  Then analysis stops on an HP printer without apparent reason, check if there's any recent Windows updates.  If so, reinstall the printer as a new wireless printer.

    Thanks for your comments!

  • HP 6600 - loud pop on Cart 4 times on power. do not scan, fax or copy the message

    I removed print completely, powered carts and save again, it appears that something is broken and gives me the message that it is unable to scan, copy or fax.

    I can send something to print on the printer and it works perfectly fine.

    I did a check and it is still under warranty but I can't understand how to get in contact with someone on the way to get it fixed!

    Hey @Jmartax,

    Thanks for getting back to me on this subject.

    It's definitely a hardware problem. This hardware problem may be a broken internal part, or it may be caused by a lack of programming on your product. To determine if the programming is the cause and if we are able to solve this problem, I will send you a private Message with instructions on how to perform a reset of programming full semi on your printer. Once the reset is complete I'll you test the scan or copy the function to see if everything is working properly.

    Please check your private Messages to get instructions on how to perform the reset. View the results of zeroing in this thread and not in the private Message.

    Good luck!

    Rhonda,

    You have the OCR program installed?

    In the digitization, if you have the disc that came with the printer, and then insert the floppy disk to the printer and keep it from running. Go to my computer and double-click it. Locate the drive that contains the disk Dell inside. Right-click on it, left click Explore. Find the folder of the OCR. In the OCR folder, there is a folder of Abbyy. Right click on setup.exe, which is located in the folder Abbyy and left, click Run as administrator. This will install the OCR program.
