Photosmart HP 6520: Locate a photo scanned on my computer

How can I find photographs scanned after I scan them into the computer?  I used to be able to set the destination file before the scan by clicking on the HP Photosmart icon on my desktop.  Now (after upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10) when I click on this icon, all I get is a message asking me if I want to allow the application to make changes to the computer.  Other options that I used to have, such as monitoring ink levels, have also disappeared.  Is it possible to recover what I used to have when I clicked this icon? I need especially to locate these scanned in images.  My HP Photosmart model number is CX017A. I reinserted the cd disk and reinstalled the options, but this does not solve the problem. Thank you.

After all the problems I've seen where people upgraded to Windows 10 and couldn't do something, in my opinion, I won't upgrade the gor a while.

Having said that you should have a file find option for your PC under Windows and your scanned files probably end in the extension: jpg

So what I would do is to search for files or folders and put in the characters jpg file and see where Windows has been finding these files if all goes well, they will be a large number of them in a directory with your other image files.

If my post is a response to your dilemma, please mark it accepted as a solution by clicking on the button under the post. Whenever any technician gives you a useful message you can thank them by clicking the thumb upward under the post.

  • 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.

  • Photosmart HP 6520: HP 6520 will not scan

    6520 used to work without problem on the old pc w/windows 7. I have a new Toshiba satellite w/AMD 8. Prints fine but will not computer scan. Message on printer said computer unresponsive and check the usb connection. I rebooted driver did not help.

    Hi @johnharry,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I see that you are not able to use the computer scan with your HP Photosmart on your new computer Windows 8.1. I would like you to do a hard reset on the PS 6520:

    1. disconnect all cables and cards of memory in the printer. Unplug the power cord, directly from the back of the printer when the printer is still on.

    2. unplug the other end of the power cord.

    3. If there is a power supply on the power cord, disconnect one end and reconnect it.

    4. at the end of 60 seconds, plug it directly into a wall outlet (not a surge protector or battery backup because they can cause the printer to lose over time basic functionality).

    5. connect the power cord to the back of the printer.

    6. the printer should automatically power back upward. If not, turn it on with the power button.

    7. try to make a photocopy (if your printer is a printer all in one) before you connect the cables from the printer.

    8. connect the other cables needed to the printer.

    Now, continue here: a "connection error" or "No. computer Found" Error message for HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 6520 e-all-in-one and HP Photosmart e-all-in-one 6520, Printer series

    Once on the page, select the Windows 8 article and complete all THE steps listed, make sure that the Scan of the computer is turned on.

    I hope hear from you soon, I would now like the result.

  • Photosmart 6520: Set the default scan to PDF format

    Is it possible to set the default Analyzer for PDFs instead of jpg? My old printer allowed me to set via the menu, but I can't find a menu option, no matter where I looked.

    Hello

    You see settings options? The Options allow to choose the picture or Document. Scan of the computer will give you MORE options and you can choose default.

    Hi there @wfm1936.

    You will need to have the complete driver installed for the printer on your Mac, features in order to scan to your computer.

    Click on this link, download the driver and follow the installation steps until it is complete. You should be able to analyze later.

  • How to add location α all photos in an album?

    How can I add a location α pictures in one album?  I can add one at a time, but not all at once.  With 14 000 + photos scanned from slides, it is very difficult to organize these photos.  I can't sort the master file by file name, to find as "slides" are almost impossible.

    It would be useful that I can change the date and the location of all the photos in a single album.

    Thank you!  -Andy

    You must update to El Capitan that it update the photos to be able to do.

    When you select all the photos you want to give a specific location also.  Open the window "information" (command - 'I') and inside of him, you'll see "Add location" and you can enter in where it was taken.

    You can be very specific if you know specific addresses of the place where they are taken.

  • Photosmart HP 6520 prints only in black, even if only selected

    When I select 'black fast project only', I get a printing color. I replaced the black cartridge and the test print just fine. So everything I do or try, can't do the printer to print black scale and Yes more, I have this default :-).

    I use OS X 10.9 Mavericks.

    Driver software & installed properly.

    Please advice. I have about 400 slides to print for studies and most of them is color pdf, it's expensive to print in full colour.

    2. in the hardware section, click Print & Fax/scanning. Dialog Print & Fax/scan opens.

    3.right - click (or Ctrl + click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system...

    4. click OK to confirm the reset.

    5 type the name and the correct password.

    6. click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows any selected printer

    Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer deleted can be re-added later by clicking the sign plus (+) symbol.

    Now go ahead and add the printer to the back and continue here: OS X Mavericks: set the print options

    You are now able to print without color? I'll watch for your reply.
