Photosmart C7280 Scan to PDF

Over the years, I have had this printer that it scanned to PDF very well.  Now all of a sudden it won't work.  I tried to use only Apple, only the drivers of HP drivers, and having both installed... nothing.  Is this a feature that went with the latest drivers for this printer?  If this is the case, I just need to know if I can put it on the sidewalk for the truck to pick up garbage.  Thank you.

LarryMcJ,

Have you tried to scan using the preview or Capture of Image?  It should do the same thing as the scan from the front panel.

I like the 10.6 system because the drivers are included in the operating system.  I don't have to download the drivers with the software, I don't want not just to get the basic functionality.  My system is completely free of HP software and I like it like that.

  • HP All in One Photosmart C7280 scan issue with Snow Leopard

    Hello

    I bought my wife a new cool Mac mini. So it comes with Snow Leopard. We use it for our activities with an HP printer all in one Photosmart C7280. Unfortunately the scanner does not work. I did the mistack to install HP driver from the HP website and read after documentation of the HP Web site (probably like all users). So I decided to completely re-installed the machine (as it was new) and follow the installation procedure for HP who, to say that the pilot is coming up with Snow Leopard. After the new re - install, so I installed 10.6.1 patches and last HP driver from the site Web Apple as mentioned in the forum. (version 2.2)

    The printer is correctly detected, but there is no way mak it work the scanner on HP procedures. The scanner is not recognized at all, and the printer configuration window is not appearing the scanning tab as it is supposed to. It seems that the scan part it does not work in one.

    We love HP printer and it will be great to see it fixed.

    My network configuration is very simple:

    -192.168.0.176 is the IP address of the HP printer with 255.255.255.0 netmask

    -192.168.0.106 is the MacMini (3.1) IP address mask subnet even

    All connected using a router D-Link (5 ports).

    Printer/scan function works perfectly on our other Mac systems that are under Leopard. I tried to install Leopard on the new mac mini, but the installation DVD that we have (10.5.4) does not start successfully on the machine. We are so stuck.

    Any help really appreciated

    Jean-Marie

    Hello

    Good news, it worked. But I think that the problem came from the D-Link router that I used. Upnp has been set to allow, and it seems he mistook the discovery of the device. I proceed to turn off and the live showed you me overdrawn the printer on the network. I installed it, and the scanner has been recognized.

    If I turned my back to Activate Upnp, the scan function is dead. Thus, it probably is a problem of compatibility between the leopard to snow and this Protocol. What is strange, is that our whole system of leopard work with upnp enable or disable.

    Anyway thanks a lot for your help!

  • Photosmart C7180 scan to PDF

    Recently I formatted my hard drive and reinstalled everything. I am running Windows XP Pro with SP3 and I downloaded the latest software for my all-in-one Photosmart C7180. I used to be able to scan a document to PDF using Adobe Standard 7, but I can turn it on is no longer. I uninstalled Adobe Standard 7 and installed Adobe Reader XI. Is it possible to scan a document to PDF using the Photosmart software Adobe Reader XI? I have not installed the OCR software, because I really feel that the OCR software is unreliable. I don't need to edit pdf documents or create them. I just want to be able to analyse any document as a pdf and then send the PDF as an attachment. When I open the HP Solution Center and choose to analyze a document, scan-to-pdf is not an option. I know there are a lot of free pdf programs scan, but before we go in this direction, I wanted to see if it is possible to use what I have already installed. Thank you.

    Hello

    The HP software uses the OCR engine to scan in PDF format, if you choose not to install the OCR the PDF option won't be available.

    Run the installation of HP once more and select this option to add additional software.

    Install the OCR application and restart your PC.

    Now you should see the PDF (or PDF that does not actually use the component OCR but simply scan in PDF or searchable PDF as option available) while clicking on scan a Document from the HP Solution Center.

    Adobe Reader is a PDF reader and not a PDF editor like Adobe standard or Pro who provide capability of scanning their duties change.

    You can change, but it will keep up to your change as a prefix or you will have to appoint one by one afterwards. To change the prefix, please try your computer

  • Can not stop "auto crop" documents, scan on my HP Photosmart C7280 all-in-one

    I use a HP Photosmart C7280 all-in-one to scan documents.   My OS is Windows 7 64 bit.   I have used this configuration since January 2012 and my problem has just started in the last 30 days.  I did not any changes to the system except for the automatic updates of Windows coming out.

    I unchecked the box "automatically Crop scanned Documents" in the Advanced Document settings, but as soon as I scanned a page, the checkbox appears in the box again (in itself!) and it will automatically crop a bad document.

    No idea why this is happening and what I can do about it?

    Thanks for your help.

    Not really sure what caused it, but looks like the setting has glitched somewhere along the way and will be set when past.  Try unintalling to reinstall a new download.  Let me know what happens.

  • Photosmart C7280 AIO: Installation of an earlier version of the AIO software to solve the problems of scanning?

    I had nothing but troubles attempt at analysis of the Solution Center with my Windows 7 upgraded to professional to Home Premium.  I've seen a lot of posts on sysems that will print but not scan.  None of the solutions proposed on these threads has worked for me. I ran print and Scan of the doctor.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version (PS_AIO_02_Net_Full_Win_WW_130_140).  I run L4 uninstall and reinstalled the latest version.  I scanned my computer against viruses and malware.  I ran "SCF/scannow".  I have run memory scans.  I did "unplug everything" and reset.  I ran the product as an administrator.  I tried to run several compatibility modes.  This past for more than a week, and I was not inactive.  You name it I did it.  I don't want to turn on my computer to its configuration 2 years up to what I've exhausted all other possibilities.

    Now for the real question (for those who have had this or similar questions)... Has anyone everything uninstalled and tried to install an older version (which can be improved later)?  My old version on my OLD XP laptop works fine.  I still have the older 100_228_PS_AIO_02_Full_Net_enu_NB verson of the installer.  If it will install (and work) on the WIN7PRO, I'd be happy.  Darn, I just try that anyway, but I would feel more comfortable if I knew that someone had tried (win or lose).

    All suggestions are solicited.

    I have no recourse to the use of the old S/w.  I kept search some old discussions in this forum and finally a couple linked together which resulted in success (after several attempts at all the great suggestions that I had read in the forum).  BUT. one stands out because it spoke of my exact problem. Scanning from HP with my Photosmart C7280 solutions Center after the upgrade to Windows 7 Edition Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional.  The solution has been presented in a thread of 2009:

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/printer-all-in-one-software-drivers/after-Windows-7-upgrade-printer-is-installed-but-nothing/m-p/174825#M8248

    I landed on this all to coincidentally linking 2010 regarding a similar issue but diferent (similar = upgrade, different = print):

    I am so happy that the old wires still exist in this forum.  The solutions are not always the most obvious, especially for those of us who have been around computers for almost 40 years and have some predisposed notions.

    Thank you to everyone.  Now to save this thing before something else goes south.

  • Photosmart C7280 previous image scan will not delete

    Thank you!

    Hey bgroovn,

    How the C7280 is connected to the PC?

    You mention that you restarted the printer, but you've restarted the PC (and restarted the router of network if Ethernet or wireless)?

    Have you run printing HP and doctor Scan?  It is an automated troubleshooting tool that fixes a lot of scanning and printing related issues.

  • Photosmart C7280 will not scan

    I am running Windows 7, I just replaced a photosmart c6180 with a Photosmart C7280.  The C7280 will not scan.

    When I use the Solution center, the analysis shows a black with no document screen as someone forgot to turn on the light.

    I tried printing and scanning utility, he said I was missing a update on the Solutions Center.  I loaded it and I still have

    have the same problem.  The printing and scanning utility now works without error throughout.  Until I loaded the C7280

    software I removed all software C6180.  I did some research and found that I should use a scrubber to get rid of all the

    the previous software.   I found a list of what it takes in hp support forum 1380995 and followed to the letter.

    I still have the problem. I'm on a 32-bit computer.

    Thanks for any help.

    I guess that's it.  I want to thank you for all your help in this matter and stick with me.

    Thanks again.

  • Windows 8 drivers/software for the Photosmart C7280 printer/Scanner

    Hello

    I have a HP Photosmart C7280 printer/scanner. I have recently installed Windows 8 Preview Release and discovered that the software I have installed Windows 7 doesn't seem to work as well. On the Setup, the only butotn displayed is "Exit" - that's why I can not install the software and drivers.

    Are there solutions available for Windows 8 again (even if its only beta software - I'm happy to give it a go)?

    Thank you

    Hi Travis_C,

    Thank you very much for the reply.

    What happens to me with respect to scan using Windows' built in the analysis Assistant which is OK but that only gives me the option to save as a bitmap, .jpeg, .gif, .png or .tiff.

    Software of HP that I used in Windows 7 accepted save me the scanning to PDF which is what I want in this case. Is it possible to get this software to run in Windows 8? In addition, will you be brining a version of Windows 8 of this software?

    Thank you
