Photosmart HP 5520. Can not scan to my computer

Photosmart HP 5520. I can print from my computer very well, but cannot scan from the printer TO my computer. Message is "connection error". This happens sometimes, but usually I can fix in any turn off, unplug and start again. Today, nothing works. This is getting tiresome. Printing works fine.  BTW, I do not control the router & it can just turn on and off. I'm not technologically savvy; I just want the thing to work.

Hello

The scan of the computer is disabled by default (I don't know why guys/girls software desinged like that). On my machine, driver for Windows 8 is much better (even same exe file). Turn it on by following the steps below (Please note: for Windows machines)

Double-click the icon of the printer on the desktop,

Click on manage the Scan of the computer.

Click Activate

You can check the last four too.

Kind regards.

  • Updated to Snow Leopard, can not scan printer, by computer.

    When I had Mac OS Leopard (10.5.8), I had no problem to scan from my HP 310a wireless all-in-one printer, I just press scan on my printer and it's done.  Since I've upgraded to Snow Leopard (10.6.7), I can do it no longer.  I get a message on my printer saying should I scan my computer, which means that I have to click on the shortcut of scanning HP in my iMac that came with the HP software.  How can I change it so I can scan my printer again?

    You probably can't.  This feature does not work most of the time with Snow Leopard, sorry.

  • All-in-one HP Photosmart C6280 not connected to the internet, and can not scan to computer

    My HP Photosmart C6280 all-in-one not connected to the internet, and can not scan to the computer.  I got it for a few years and must plugged into my Macbook to print, but now I want to use it to scan photos directly to my computer.  Can someone help me to do this?  Much appreciated!  (Not sure where are my original softward records!)

    Oh, OK, well this isn't probably the problem, but for good measure, you should get the latest version of the software for your printer from the "support & drivers" link at the top of this page.

    In the meantime, we will reset the printing system:

    -Go to System Preferences > Print & Fax
    -Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - This will remove ALL your printers!
    -Select the sign more to add a printer. Top of the window, Select the default tab . Search for the printer, select it, and wait until the button 'Add' becomes available. Until it clicks.

  • HP Photosmart premium c309g-m not scanning

    I have a HP photosmart premium c309g-m all-in-one that I'm trying to use wireless with my HP laptop running windows 7.  I can print fine wireless but I can't scan to my computer, I tried to use the controls on the printer as well as windows fax and scan.  It will allow me to scan from the printer to a memory card (although when I try to load the jpeg scanned on my memory card on my computer, it shows) also infected but I can't scan to my computer.

    Technical support said there Firewall Norton 360 but when I contacted Norton they disabled the firewall and it still does not, and now tech support said I'm a month out of warranty and will not help me unless I pay and I am reluctant to pay to get the same answers I receive for 9 months now so I thought that maybe someone here could save me money and help me.  I'm also tired of the pass the blame game of: oh, it's for lack of qwest, now it's the fault of windows 7, then it's lack of norton, I even had a tech tell me it was my fault that this printer can not scan wireless but it worked before on my old network.

    When I ran the diagnostic scan it says no scanner installed so we re-installed the software, the updated drivers, but it still says the scan driver is corrupted or missing and it cannot update the driver.  When I run the diagnostic utility that he says no printer not found on the network, but still the printer says no problems found and the network is configured correctly and I still have no problem of wireless network printing I just can't scan.  Please help me!

    If anyone has this problem I finally solved it, (no thanks to HP technical support) here's how:

    I disabled my firewall, I reinstalled the software from the Web site (once again) then I found this download for a software fix http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-77751-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=4063&product=3793676&sw_lang= (even if I've never had Vista on this computer only windows 7 so I have not upgraded) after that I went on the start menu to HP , HP photosmart premium c309g and finished install the software then restarted and it worked.  Since then the only time where I had a problem was when my computer is closing because of low battery and when I'm back from fashion 'sleep' my printer has been disconnected and the scanner n "t work so I rebooted and the printer and the scanner worked perfectly!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 pro, I can not scan to a NAS or my linux box. The error of the Linux box is:

    OfficeJet Pro 8600 pro, I can not scan to a NAS or my linux box.  Web browser for the Linux of the error box is: "you can't use this feature because it has been disabled."  For more information, contact your network administrator or the person who set up the printer. When I try to send the file to a NAS by IP address, password, and account name it tells me that the file is not found.  I can get on the site by copying the ip address and the path to my dir browser.

    In the Linux box, I can print to the printer.

    Sorry, but HP does not support the Linux operating system.  The only thing that HP offers for Linux support can be found here.

  • HP Officejet 150: Can not scan wireless

    I have a HP all-in-ONE Officejet 150 and that you are unable to scan wireless.  Right now, I can't even the bluetooth icon to turn blue, although it said that the radio is on.  I took my old printer because of such problems.  I handed to factory, combined with my Sony computer, but it does not recognize my computer.  Suggestions?  I can use a cable and get it to the scan, but that defeats the purpose of bluetooth technology.

    Hi @Dragonbebe,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that you can not scan wireless with your mobile printer HP Officejet 150. I'm happy to discuss this issue for you!

    This printer can only scan with the printer cable USB is plugged. As the wireless Bluetooth connection is strictly to be printed. Please see the user's Guide, for more information your printer.

  • OFFICEJET 5740 E: can not scan to my Macbook Pro with my new HP Officejet 5740 e

    Just installed my new all-in-one printer. I can't scan to my computer, a Macbook Pro. Can I not activate "Scan to computer", although I have confirmed that I have the latest software and drivers.

    Not impressed I must say!

    JFM2015

    Hello JFM2015 ,

    Welcome to the HP Forums.

    I see you have some sweeping problems when you try to scan to your Mac.

    I suggest that we start from scratch.

    Unplug the usb cable from the Mac and printer and leave that it disconnected until further notice.

    The first link that I have for you give instructions on How to reset the printing system.

    The next step we will do is to repair disk permissions.

    Once the first two steps are completed, we then go and will download and install the 5740 Officejet HP e-All-in-One Printer full feature software and drivers series.

    Installation will give you options of connection so please do not connect cables until you are prompted to do so.

    Write me back and let me let you know.

    See you soon,.
