Photosmart Premium c309a series - will print but scanning and fax are not in printers and Fax preferences

Any expert out there?

I already posted this problem.  I deleted Photosmart Premium C309a [OEFC74} of the preference of the "Print and Fax" system on my desktop Mac running OS 10.6.8.]  I deleted it to correct a mistake, "Printer offline", when the printer was offline but would not.

I then added in Photosmart Premium C309a as instructed.  He has fixed the "printer offline" problem, but now the scanner icon disappeared from "Print & Fax" and I cannot scan documents.  I've always had to scan from my computer, not the printer itself, but I've lost this ability.

Before deleting the printer in the printer list, I had two icons of the printer: Photosmart C309a series [OEFC74} and Photosmart C309a [192.168.1.5.]] (Fax) listed.  Now, I have one with a different designation, simply Photosmart C309a series.  I had to spend two laptops to this designation of printer in order to print using these laptops (all Macs).

The all-in-one printer is connected wireless via a home network using a wireless router.

HOW to bring back the ability to scan?  I spent hours on this forum without finding a solution.

Thanks for any help.

Radio of your printer may have indeed failed, and it is not uncommon with this model.

Try to reset it to put off the printer, then hold him down # and 6 keys while and for a few seconds after I turn it back on.  If the radio is just when, this should fix it.  If she suffered a hardware failure (such as a circuit board) cracked, this will not fix it.

With this model, you can also connect it to your router with an Ethernet cable and have the same functionality available for all devices, including those who have connections to your router wireless.

  • Photosmart Premium C309a series: full system restore fails to translate by scanning HP operation

    I've had recently have my drive hard iMac replaced. After performing a full restore of the Time Machine backup system, I found that HP Scan does not at all, despite the printer itself its other tasks normally. This means that ABBYY Fine Reader also does not work with HP Scan as his "calling application.

    I use Mac OS X 10.6.8 and run Apple Software Update and downloaded all outstanding HP software. Before my drive failure hard HP Scan worked fine. The complete restoration has installed the version that I have been ongoing now, 2.4.1.

    In order to get the Scan software of course I downloaded originally the complete package of HP in order to configure its features-however, the current version of the printer driver is 4.1.2.

    In the error window that appears when I try to start HP scanning, it seems that the problem may relate to profiles of scanning HP is not loaded into the library folder. However when I look I am not able to determine if something is missing. I suspect that they are there, but is not being recognized.

    As I already have all the software to operate the printer features, why should I repeat the download for the HP scan and the scan function operate again?

    Hi again Gemini02,

    And thanks for your tips.

    Since your post, a new range of printers HP software update became available through Apple Software Update: version 2.16.1

    I don't know what it was, but I am now at a point where all the functions of printer that I trust work once more... In the case of HP scanning, maybe it's my imagination, but it seems with a slightly better interface than before. Still I had to push it in service by going to Mac OSX system preferences / Print & Fax / Scan / open route Scanner; because initially he said he was not available because he was using another application it - but once I did it, HP Scan can be launched independently and worked well.

    Also printing black text seems to behave normally now - also PDF files.

    I'll click on "Accept as Solution" so thanks for seeing me through this issue.

  • HP Photosmart Premium C309a: uninstalled the driver, but can't re install even on HP C309a

    My device cannot scan and there is an error (could not insert the screenshot error). As recommended, I did uninstall the driver and appeared to be successful. But re - install is the problem here, first I downloaded the race online, saved, driver (PS_410_C309a_Net_enu_140_047) & files were extracted. From the beginning, it seemed ok, but he continue recyling process of installation from the beginning until the re - start the computer. After the re - start has finished he will repeat the same process and it will eventually re - start the computer again, and there is no end here, I guess.  It's very frustrating.  I tried stuffs as suggested in the forum, such as the execution of net user administrator / Active: Yes, but nothing helped. Also, I tried using journaling to change user, the unsuccessful outcome. Help, please

  • HP Photosmart Premium C309a: Uninstall HP Photosmart Premium C309a

    Could not parse.  Lost all the icons on the desktop for HP.  Have been able to print but nothing else.  I went back to programs and features and uninstalled everyone individually, but no mater how many times I try, the main (all-in-one driver software HP Photosmart Premium C309a 12) won't go away.  I went to the printers and deleted this screen printer, but it still lists the printer under programs and features.  Part of the sequence of uninstaller gives you the option to remove "all HP products" or "choose individual products."

  • HP Photosmart Premium C309a - LCD not working not

    I have a HP Photosmart Premium C309a AIO that print, copy and Fax perfectly except that the LCD gradually deteriorated to the point where it now seems almost completely white with virtually nothing readable, which makes this much less usable device. Can I replace the LCD screen? A replacement LCD can be ordered and replaced by a user?

    Thanks for more information on this.

    Dave Waters

    Hello @dmwaters138,.

    I would like all my best to help you with questions you have about the LCD screen on your HP Photosmart Premium all-in-One Printer.

    Unfortunately the LCD screen on the printer is not a part, you can order and replace yourself, however I have some suggestions for you to try to see if you can restore the functionality on-screen.

    You have the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or a surge protector or power bar? Even if you have used a surge protector/power bar this whole time and you feel that this is not the case, please connect to a wall outlet so that we can eliminate the source of energy as the primary cause. Questions when it is connected to an uninterruptible power supply/Strip/surge protector power
    In this document you will see, QUESTION: questions or problems may arise when a HP LaserJet printer is connected to a UPS (UPS), a power strip or a surge protector

  • Photosmart Premium C309a All in One not no projection in devices and printers in Windows 7 x 64

    I just installed my HP Photosmart Premium C309a under Windows 7 64 bit and noticed something perculiar. I can print from programs, but when I go to the "devices and printers" in the menu start, the printer is not there. If I try to add the printer via the "Add a printer" feature, he just wants to another printer for her. Not a show stopper, but weird. Hope this can be resolved if the printer is no longer available in Windows 7.

    It seems that you have installed the C309a in a network configuration. There is a document that describes how to access print through devices and printers below settings link. This article describes how you can access your device through the PC peripherals and Pinters icon settings.

    HP product icon is missing from devices and printers after a Network Installation in Windows 7

  • Impossible to print a Web page using photosmart premium c309a using Internet Explorer 9.

    I just installed Internet Explorer 9. Now, I can't print a Web page using my network photosmart premium c309a. I also have a Photosmart c6250 networked and I peut print for her. What gives? Am I missing something? I know that this is a known problem by searching the problem and Windows solution does not help.  I have no problem with the c309a print when I go to the internet, it's just a problem of Web page with IE9.  All/any help would be appreciated.

    HP helped me by making me install a different driver. Download and install the printer driver 6980. After installation, go to the printer properties and add a new Standard TCP/IP port and use IP address for the c309a.  I don't think I'm missing something, but I received the information from their chat support.  Then, when you want to print from IE9, choose the 6980 printer (which is actually the c309a printer).  This HP support doesn't help.  You must talk to a living person who knows something about printers.

    I hope this helps.  In fact, I switched to Mozilla Firefox as my default long ago, and it works very well with the c309a printer.  I only got this solution because I could be chatting with them on another printer and I mentioned that I could not print from IE9.

  • HP 2575 will print but not scan images or text

    My all-in-one HP Photosmart 2575 will print test pages and print on my Vista PC network. But it will not scan now photos or documents. Instead, it displays:

    I've restarted HP Solution Center.

    I restarted the PC.

    I uninstalled all HP and re-installed AIO_CDB_Full Network_enu_NB.exe programs. Twice.

    I ran HP Scan and the doctor of printing. She operated the scan head, but HP did not produce a .jpg file or a .txt file. He then tells me to download and run scanjet_vista_tablet_patch.exe. Yes, I did.

    The 2575 continues to print in the normal way, but if I try to scan an image or document, it always reports "an unexpected internal error.

  • Photosmart Premium c309a black print green on photo paper / CDs

    Got a Photosmart Premium c309a.  Bought in early 2009.  When I print on normal paper, photos prints fine, but when I print on paper photo, all black prints with a green tint.  This is regardless whether if I said that I'm printing on photo paper or not. When I print to CDs, black print blue.

    I have correctly printed on two media before but recently had this problem.  Colors are progressively worsened recently before arriving at this point.

    I use Windows 7.  Updated the drivers and software but still no joy.  Latest version of the downloaded driver / software for my Mac but the same for photos and the CD.

    I did about 5 cleans through the Toolbox print head and replaced HP black ink cartridges (both black and Photo black).  Currently have more than half full for each black cartridge.  Other colors are not empty but either.   Also tried the print head with water for rinsing after its withdrawal.

    I did a diagnostics page.  The black bar Photo is not printed at all.  However, further down on the page, the photo black ink level indicator prints OK (assuming that really aid black photo).

    Everything prints fine so I can print documents and images as long as it isn't on paper photo or CD.  I bought the printer mainly for CD printing features.

    Is - this weird color problem with the printhead fault?  Could replace solve this (someone tried?)?  A replacement would put me back £26 so I wanted to ask first.

    Thank you.

    I suggest you soak the printhead, as described in the post here.
