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 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.

    I scanned to send several times than I can count, but a few days ago, I get nothing other than the error "connection server 403 error." I checked the forums and someone said to go into apps and download the application. It did not work. I rebooted and tried everything, which he expects. Yet, nothing. Is this error to do with something outside as the real servers HPs - or is this something internal that I can fix it? I went as far as I can without resetting to factory settings (which I am fearful because I recently had the country code has changed on this issue and do not want to return to the country of origin), someone has any suggestions other than what I've sifted through the forums already?

  • Photosmart 5520 scan gives a black and white page

    I scan a document translates a page black Virgin, if I scan in computers or copy. I downloaded and installed the latest update. If someone had the same problem and it is resolved successfully, I would be very grateful for their help. And if someone has an idea what could be causing this, I'd like to hear about them too. Thank you very much

    Hello there @pilotepure ,

    I read your posts on your scans turn empty your Photosmart 5520, running a Windows operating system. I want to add some of my ideas for you!

    Try a copy, if the copy is also empty, there is a problem of printer hardware.

    Try a reset of power:

    Press the power button to turn the product on.
    With the product, unplug the power cord from the back of the product.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the back of the product.
    If the product does not light by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.

    Make sure that the printer is plugged directly into the wall, avoiding bars power and surge protectors. This ensures that the printer is full on and can help greatly.

    If copies are turning on fine, run the print and Scan on your PC Doctor and respond with results. Also include what Windows operating system you have.

    All the best

  • Photosmart 5520 scanning software

    My printer Photosmart used previous scanning HP Solutions software that had the ability to scan to a file RTF using OCR. For the 5520, I see only one option of scanning to a PDF file. Is it possible to add several file format options? I tried to use the HP Soluyions software, but it does not recognize the new printer.

    Hello
    The software provided for your device does not include OCR functionality
    As you can find listed in the specification of digitization, text files like TXT or RTF are not supported by the HP software:
    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03241207

    You can use a solution of OCR 3rd party to analyze as editable text.

    If you have Microsoft Office suite, there is a good chance of the suite to provide this type of functionality:

    Office 2007 or 2010:

  • Photosmart 5520: Computer does not connect to Photosmart 5520 more

    Hello

    I have a printer HP Photosmart 5520 which, until recently, worked absolutely fine! I even upgraded my laptop to Windows 8 to 10 and the printer continued to work perfectly.

    However, a few weeks ago the printer no longer. In other words: when I try to send a print job to the printer from my laptop (wireless), the computer says it can't find the printer. The printer is on, certainly on the same network as the laptop's wireless and nothing has changed in this network. But I keep getting errors.

    I tried to solve the problem by deleting the printer in my computer and re-install the drivers, but when trying to run the driver installation program, it cannot locate my printer either. I can't locate even by manually typing the IP address of the printer (as Setup request)... Yet I don't know still certainly both devices are in the same network and I also double, triple checked the typed IP address.

    I really don't know what else to do. I also do not understand the problem at all, because I have absolutely nothing changed in my computer or network... the printer became simply "inaccessible".

    I'm now work around the problem by using e-print (send documents to print my eprint address), but I don't like this option because one) it's unnecessarily complicated. and (b) whenever you post a document, the printer prints an extra page with the e-mail address and it is a waste of paper and ink.

    So if someone could help me with my driver/connection problem, I would be very grateful!

    Thank you

    Lenny

    Running the diagnostics to http://www.hp.com/go/tools can help solve the problem.  Download and run printing HP and doctor Scan.

    You mention that you have checked the IP address.  You can open embedded Web Server (EWS printer) by entering the IP address if the printer in your browser?

  • HP Photosmart 5520: HP Photosmart 5520 suddenly will not print or scan

    Suddenly is no longer able to scan or print on HP Photosmart 5520. With the scan function I use scanning to e-mail, but, after long 'Preparation scanning' on the screen of the printer, the error message "temporarily unavailable.  "Please try again later". With the impression that I use Google Cloud Print (from an Acer Chromebook) and all that happens is that the demand to print everything ends up in a queue of print jobs.  No error message appears on the printer screen. The copy function works fine.  Wireless network printing results are very good.  The printer worked fine for over a year.  Can anyone help?  Thanks in advance.

    Thanks a lot for taking the time to answer.

    It's all very mysterious, but it seems to have corrected itself.  Finally, the 'out of paper' error message appeared yesterday (there were many), I pushed in the paper and things started to print again.  I was also able to rescan.  Not sure if she was no longer a problem of Google or what but we are in service again.

    Thank you very much!
