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: 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: Scan to email: server connection error 403 (with app and scan)

    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

  • HP Photosmart 5512 scanning software

    I use a Mac OSX 10.6 and the only way for me to analyse on Photosmart 5512 is through the touch screen of the device.  This seems very heavy.  Is there a kind of HP software that can scan using the computer.  I can't look at my scan until it is saved (any name the device gives him) in my finder window.  Then I have to open it in preview and yes I can close it and rename it and place it in the location on my computer I want.  I had an all-in-one before and never had to scan in this way.  If this is the only way, I'll get a different scanner that there are WAY to many steps to scan a document or photo especially when I do more than one in a row.

    Hello ReneeH

    You have the complete HP software installed? If so, you should be able scanning from the solution Center. If you have the full software go to the first link below. The guide will help you to scan from the software on your mac.

  • 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)?

    The printer still works with my Ipad.I has a new Antivirus system installed recently. Could be the problem?

    Hello GymBunny,

    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I understand that you are unable to print from your computer to your Photosmart 5520 and you suspect that your new installed antivirus software can be the cause of the problem.

    Yes, it would be possible that the newly installed antivirus software is the culprit. I've included the document print jobs are stuck in the print queue for you to follow. You need to choose your operating system.  Please make sure that you follow the step where he asks the download and installation of HP Print and Scan for Windows doctor, it will help you to narrow down what the question is.

  • 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!

    What application you are scanning from?

    If it is the Image Capture scanners and scanners, uncheck the box to scan a custom size, and then select a specific analysis size or mark the spot required during the prelife analysis using your mouse, and then check if the "Save" button becomes available.

  • Photosmart 5520, no sign of combination only scans

    My equipment = HP Photosmart 5520 / Samsung Series 9 ultrabook / Windows7.

    I can't combine multiple scans in a single PDF doccument.

    Before scanning documents, click on advanced settings, file tab and make sure "create a separate file for each scanned document" box is NOT checked.

    When I finished the first analysis, the button '+', to add further documents, does not appear in either the Save or after clicking on fact box.

    Why is this? How can I combine the scans in a single PDF file?

    Did you mean probably 100 # and not #00 dpi. Tried and it works, thank you.

    So bottom line:

    Combining multiple scans in a single PDF only possible at a resolution of 100 dpi.

    If you set this level of resolution before scanning, the ' plus sign ' appears.

    [update see post below - min res scan is 300 not 100 dpi.] Thank you shlomil! ]
