Photosmart 5520: Photosmart 5520 scan to computer problems

Scan of the computer decided not to work. I reloaded the drivers (including the latest HP - inkjet ink-SW-OSX - Mavericks_v12.34.44.dmg) without success. I tried to delete the printer and start again. The printer print wireless without a problem and I scan the computer successfully. The network connection is fine. When I went through the installation program, it tells me "a critical error has occurred. Please restart the application and try again". When I try to activate the scan to computer, I get a communication error "unable to communicate with the device. Check the cables and the connection parameters. If the problem persists, try restarting your computer and the HP device. "even if there is a wireless communication between the desktop computer and printer.

Any other suggestions? Is there a specific driver of El Capitan (OS 10.11)?

Hi @AdrianCouani,

I think we need to adopt a different approach and perform an uninstall more complete.

I know that you have completed some of these steps already, but it is important that complete us the steps in the order presented.  Please follow the steps below and let me know the results of your efforts:

Scrub / uninstall

  • Open the Applications folder > folder HP or Hewlett Packard > Uninstall HP
  • Click continue, click on one of the printers in the list.
  • * Only perform this step if you have not all other HP printers.  Press and hold the Option, control and command, while now the three buttons.
  • Click Uninstall.

Manually uninstall the remaining files potentially - I apologize in advance is not a fun task! I'll try to make it easy to follow. Some files described in the following steps may be found, if you can't find one of the files or folders on your computer, do not be alarmed.

 

Move the files or folders to the Recycle Bin, drag and drop

  • Macintosh HD/Applications / /Hewlett-Packard folder
  • Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support /- delete all files and folders on HP/Hewlett Packard
  • In Macintosh HD/Library/Caches - delete all files and folders on HP/Hewlett Packard
  • Macintosh HD/Library/Documentation/Help /- delete all files and folders on HP/Hewlett Packard
  • MacintoshHD/Library/Frameworks/HPServicesInterface.framework
  • MacintoshHD/Library/Frameworks/HPSmartX.framework

  • In Macintosh HD/Library/Image Capture/Scripts - delete all files and folders on HP/Hewlett Packard
  • In Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences - delete all files and folders on HP/Hewlett Packard

Move the Macintoshloginwindow.plist on the desktop. NOTE: Does not delete the loginwindow.plist file during the manual uninstallation may cause uninstall be retained.

  • In Macintosh HD/library/printers/hp - delete the folder
  • In Macintosh HD/Library/StartupItems, drag the following files in the trash, IO HP and HP trap monitor
  • In Macintosh HD/users/username (this should have a symbol of a house next to him) / Library/Preferences, drag the following files to the Trash: * all files starting with com.apple.print, * all files starting with com.hp, * all files beginning with Hewlett-Packard, * files starting with HP or hp
  • In MacintoshHD/users/USERNAME/Library/printers, drag all all-in-one printers listed here in the trash.
  • Drag the icons of HP from the dock and drop it onto a blank space on the desktop. The icon will disappear.

Close all open windows.
Turn it back on.
Empty the trash.

Reset the printing system

  1. Click on the Apple icon ( ), then click on System Preferences.

  • Photosmart 5520: Scan to computer

    Hello.

    My printer is saying that there is no found computer and I should make sure that the software is downloaded and that "analysis of the computer" is enabled. I have the computer connected to the printer with a usb cable and the computer or the printer can 'find' between them. I can't find the place where to open the settings of this since I accidently deleted all the icons on my desktop. Whenever I go to the HP-> Hpphotosmart 5520-> Bin folder, I have no help whatsoever. I don't know how to solve this problem, even though my scanner works perfectly a week ago.  I think that my operating system is somewhere along the lines of Windows 8. Whenever I try to open the program, called HPScanDisco, it does not, even if I tried to run as an administrator as well as regularly.

    No idea how to help me?

    Hello @Penwyn,

    Welcome to the Forum from HP Support.  I hope you enjoy your experience here.

    I see that you are unable to scan to PC using your HP Photosmart 5520 e-all-in-one printer due to some problems of software installation.  I want to help you with this.

    To start, I recommend that you run Microsoft Fix it (click here to install).  You can use this utility to remove the old software from your printer.  Note that this program says it is only good for Windows 7, but I tested it on a 8 machine and it worked fine.

    Once that is complete, click here to re - install your printer.  If you find that the computer not recognize your printer, try a different USB port.

    Please let me know the result of your troubleshooting by responding to this post.  If I helped you to solve the problem, feel free to give me a virtual h.o.t. by clicking the "Thumbs Up" icon below and by clicking to accept this solution.

    Have a great day!

  • Photosmart 7520: Photosmart 7520 Scan to Email problem

    Hello

    I have the same problem as almost all the other posts in this forum. I can perform all functions with my Photosmart HP 7520, print from my Mobile / Tablet / PC, Wi - Fi all the Apps front panel, connect to the printer via IP fixed, applications via ePrintCenter etc... Until recently, I could also do a "Scan to Email" but which has suddenly stopped working to fail "unable to connect to Web Services.  Confirm access to the Internet and try again. "I tried all the previous suggestions including cycling the power on my router then the printer, all with no success. As mentioned the only funtion not working is "Scan to Email". I understand there is a 'special reset process' that is sent by electronic mail private users with this specific problem. Could you please make this available.

    Thanks in advance...

    Hi Shoe59,

    I finally got the work of Scan-to-Email service.

    I ended up removing the "Web Services" - via the printer-> Web Services-> settings Menu-> remove Web Services. Immediately after I went through the same steps of menu and "enabled web services" again (I think that something has been downloaded to the printer) and a page is printed with an activation code where you need to connect to your account connection HP and basically setup your account to e-mail printer as again from scratch. that is, you get sent to you 4-digit Code, enter this in the menu of the printer to continue setting up your account. I have set up several Scan-to-email accounts and tested them all and they work now just like before. The only witch hunt, I couldn't use the same EMail address of the printer as the connection HP site said that my old Email address was already in use.

    I am convinced that there is a change in the backend (cloud side) which requires you to remove & reinstall web services to make it work again. Anyway give it a try if you haven't already and hope this works for you as well.

    See you soon

  • Photosmart C5180 scanning and copy problem

    Scanning and copying service, computer and also the printer button produce entirely black (not empty) pages with lines vertical and horizontal of different shades of black.

    Uninstalled, reinstalled, used doctor scan, download software uptodate and the driver. What can I do else?

    Author: heborn

    Hello 11540.

    Try to reset the all-in-one (turn off and on again).

    Then try to copy using the control panel buttons, but open the scanner cover to see if the light is turn on. If this isn't the case, then I'm afraid this is a hardware failure and you will need the service unit.

    See you soon!

  • HP Photosmart 5524: scan to email problems

    I can not scan to e-mail (or access apps) of the printer itself. "Blue light" wifi is on, and I was able to print by sending documents by e-mail to the printer. Thus, the internet is certainly connected.

    I've used the scan to email successfully, but since I changed my internet provider I can't any longer.

    I'm working on a Mac OS (10.5.8) which is not supported by this printer (annoying that the Mac is not very old!)

    Any help much appreciated.

    Hello-

    Is there a way to solve this problem by removing the web services, reactivating it. This would however, you must obtain a new email address.

    You can also try to remove the app (scan to e-mail), and then reinstall it.

    Let me know if it works.

  • Photosmart C7250 scans no longer - problems of Lion?

    I was able to scan with my C7250 on my MacBook Pro and my IMac.  I just upgraded to Lion on my IMac, but not on my MacBook Pro.  I can scan on the MacBook, but not on my IMac.  I can always print wireless but the computer does not see a scanner.  Any ideas?

    If you are using Snow Leopard or Lion and you have the HP software before Snow Leopard (either from a CD not marked as compatible with 10.6 or you recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and had the software HP on your Mac before you upgrade - even if you made a standard from the old software uninstaller or installed new software on top of it) , you must uninstall the software by using the "scrubber":

    Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard / click Uninstall HP
    Click on continue
    Highlight your device in the left pane
    Hold down the Ctrl and Opt Cmd and click on uninstall< scrubber="">
    There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall all hp software. (At this point, if you continue, all HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
    Click on continue and let it finish

    Restart your Mac

    Now reset the printing system:

    -Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
    -Right (control) click inside the box that lists your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - This will remove ALL your printers!
    -Select the sign + to add again. Search for the printer, select it, and wait until the button 'Add' becomes available. Until it clicks.

  • OfficeJet 7500 E910: OfficeJet 7500 E910 scan to computer problems

    In the utility software of HP, I go to the screen below. I click on the small box to activate the scan of the computer. It will take a second, and then become green and indicates that it is enabled. If I then press 'All settings' or leave this page and then return to the analysis to the computer settings, it is no longer enabled.

    I deleted the printer, restarted the computer, and did all the updates of the software. I have nothing seems to correct this problem. Before that, I had it enabled, it worked fine for a few months then it is gray as an option, does not let me choose enable scan of the computer. Now the problem described above occurs.

    Any advice?

    Hi @Gemini02,.

    Thanks for the suggestion. Although I do not have an anti-virus that blocks, and it was not the error I received.

    I have managed to solve myself today, by removing all the library files, reinstall the drivers, restart my computer and restart the printer. Some templates and other reels.

    Thank you.

  • Photosmart 6525: hp utility closes unexpectedly when you try to set Scan to computer

    A Photosmart 6525 printer connected through WiFi to a Mac Pro under Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

    Everything seems to be alright except for the "Scan to computer" feature which cannot be enabled.

    Utility HP v. 5.10.1 closes as soon as you click the "Scan to computer" on.

    Installation has been filed using the last updated: Photosmart-6520 - series_v12.24.0.dmg.

    This works fine in Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

    Thanks for any help

    Thanks for help, but my problem is not a printing problem but rather a utility HP problem that happens when I try to activate the function "Scan to computer".

    However, I did what you suggested but to no avail. Repair disk permissions really did keep many errors about files in Safari and iTunes.

    Finally, I did a new install of OS X Lion mountains fresh on a separate partition, added to the printer, and voila, everything went well. (Note however that even on this brand new facility I stil have the same permission errors, so they probably makes no sense).

    In conclusion, it seems that there is something wrong with my drive work system and I'm afraid I'll have to reinstall Mac OS X.

  • HP Photosmart 7510 not scan to computer (MacBook Air)

    Hello

    I have a HP Photosmart 7510 connected wireless to my home network and I can't select my computer when parsing the list for the computer on the printer.

    I use a MacBook Air with OS X 10.8.2

    I've updated all my drivers, reinstalled the software and disconnected/reconnected to the network several times.

    I can print to the 7510 my computer.

    I can scan the 7510 using the HP software on my computer

    I am unable to find 'activate Scan to Computer' in the settings on my computer (and all instructions on this Web site are for Windows)

    We organize also several computers window on our network, and these show all in the analysis of computer selection and can be analyzed successfully to. (without going through the HP software installed!)

    What is missing for me to scan to my computer? Scan to other computers is not an option (for reasons of confidentiality) and scanning the computer is also not ideal, because I bought the printer for the analysis of it infrastructure.

    Thank you

    Emma

    Hi Emma,

    If the Scan of the computer does not appear under the HP utility, more liekly something went wrong in the HP installation wizard.

    Try these steps and let me know if that can help you:

    First reset the system as follows:

    * Be aware that reset the printer system will eliminate any existing queue and reset all custom settings driver.

    Click on the Apple menu and then click on System Preferences.
    Select Print & Scan.
    Right click (or Ctrl + click) your product with the Printers list in the left panel and then click on reset printing system.
    Click OK to confirm the reset.
    Type your user name and password.
    Click OK. The printing system resets.

    Then, go to Applications\Hewlett - Packard\Device Utilities and follow the HP installation wizard.

    Now open the HP Utilitiy and search the computer Scan in the scan parameters section.

    Kind regards

  • Photosmart C6380 doesn't scan to computer

    Initially, I installed my HP C6380 PS software in a new Mac OS X Leopard desktop. The functions worked well. I've since upgraded to Snow Leopard and all functions work except the Scan to computer one. I get the message "try to start the scan of the computer. Refer to the documentation for more information. "I can scan to a USB flash drive in the printer, but not the computer. I just read in this forum that the snow leopard software has all the necessary drivers for this printer, so now I don't know if its a problem of operating system software. Any suggestions?

    Thank you, Nancy

    Thanks for the reply. Later, I found a few threads on this forum where the same issue was discussed. Since then, I learned how to scan from my computer using picture Capture.
