Photsmart 6520: Cannot scan using USB

I have a Photosmart 6520 connected by USB.  When you try to scan through the software scan or touch screen, I get a communication failure. There are moments where the search starts but then error (about 1/3 of the scan showing in the preview). When you use the touch screen, my computer appears as a selection to send the file to, or when the touch screen of the software shows the scan starts, but then get communication error appears and the scan is canceled. Any thoughts on this matter would be appreciated.  Print to the printer without problem and uninstalled and reinstalled several times with the latest driver for the issue of the analysis

Hello @ghost01and welcome to the Forums of HP, I hope you enjoy your experience!

I see that you are having problems scan feature.  I would like to help!

I would recommend starting with a power reset.  Unplug the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug back in the printer. Make sure that you connect the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any surge protector or power bar.

I recommend also to download and run the HP print and Scan doctor.

Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Photosmart HP 6520: Cannot scan afterWindows 10 update

    Even if I can print everything from upgrading to Windows 10 I can't scan from the printer to my laptop. A message appears on the printer stating "Connection error" the computer does not respond. "Check the cable USB is attached. Obviously is that I can print as usual. Can anyone help?

    Hi Doc, thanks for theinfo and your time and effort. After going through all new with Daniel to the HP Support, it seems that the USB port on the printer may be at fault. Who changed things to scan wireless, it wasn't a problem and everything worked. Printing from my laptop to the printer was also no problem. The laptop recognises the printer via the USB cable, but not the reverse. Daniel has once more remotely connected to my system and made all of the aforesaid goods. Looks like I'll have to either scan wirelessley or use the scan on my desktop shortcut. Prohibition to buy another printer, wireless scan shortcut it will take. Thank you once more and also Mark, Laura, Patrick, Gavin, Jake and Daniel at HP

  • Satellite A200: Cannot properly use external USB devices

    I encountered a problem with my Toshiba laptop and I can't fix it, and I'm in need your help please...
    The problem is that when I connect a USB portable device (an external hard drive, USB, iPod, Flash memory... etc) with more than 8 GB of memory...
    It is not properly installed in the Device Manager and appears under "USB bus controllers.

    But it does not say that it is an unknown device. It normally appears with his name, but he is not properly installed (it does not say that either) where it is supposed to be a camera under "imaging devices" in a specific category (hard drive under "drives"), and so on

    And I can't use the unit because the HARD disk does not appear in 'My computer' and my iPod cannot be used

    I would like to inform you that this problem is with all USB devices with more than 8 GB of memory.
    Not a single device. I tried a lot of features to ensure that it is not a problem with the unit.

    So this is a problem with my laptop and I installed Windows several times but no progress.
    Thanks for your help in advance...

    Is it XP or Vista?

    If its XP, make sure you have at least Service Pack 2.
    This hotfix can help XP see large capacity media:

    Greetings

    Hello

    Have you seen yellow errors such as exclamation points in Device Manager?
    If not, in this case it of not necessary to install all the drivers.
    Moreover, the operating system automatically recognizes the USB ports.

    But what USB device doesn't work? As far as I know if this external device needs more energy than the 500mA so it is possible that the operating system can not recognize this device.
    In this case you need an external power supply for this part or you try to use the USB hub.

  • Cannot scan multiple pages in the scanner using HP Photosmart 7520 glass

    I recently bought a HP Photosmart 7520.

    I'm pretty happy with it, but my wife has a problem with it that I wasn't able to solve even looking in the HP support sites.

    When scanning using the glass of the scanner in a pdf document, it has no option to add another page. According to the documentation, there should be a + button, but it is not found. There is an option somewhere that I'm missing? Here is a screenshot of preview (in french, sorry):

    Hello

    In the HP Scan dialog box, reduce the scanning in 300 DPI resolution or lower, then you should see the button "+" to add additional pages.

  • HP Deskjet F2180: Cannot scan a network printer

    Hello: the printer is connected to a home network [via USB hub] 2 workstations. The two PC can print without problem. But can not scan using Solution Center pop up. If the printer is connected directly to a PC, it can scan without problem, but the other PC that is connected to the printer via the USB port cannot sweep and gives an error that it can't find the printer.

    The goal is to have two machines connected via the USB Hub and be able to print [who both can] and be able to scan. Currently only a single machine can scan and is the one who has directly connected print. The other machine can print to it but will not scan.

    Is it possible that this can be done?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers, Gus.

    Hello Gus,

    It is not likely to analysis via a USB hub, such a task like scanning requires a higher power output, the connection is not likley to be strong enough through a USB hub powder as it can not transfer this aount of data required for scanning.

    You can try using a powered USB hub and check if that can provide you with better results.

    You can learn more about the difference between a MULTIPORT USB Repeater power voltage on and off in the following link:

    http://SmallBusiness.Chron.com/difference-between-powered-nonpowered-USB-hubs-71272.html

    Although for several computers on a network scanning, scan will be the best solution, such an is designed for the use of multiple computers while a USB device is designed for a single use of PC.

    Kind regards

  • MG6120 - cannot scan error "cannot communicate with scanner.

    Hi, I have a Mac Book Pro with OS 10.10.5 (Yosemite).  I have the Canon MG6120 printer.  Since I updated to Yosemite, I'm more able to scan using the MP Navigator ex software  I get the following error message:

    "Cannot communicate with the scanner.

    Cable may be disconnected or scanner may be turned off.

    Check the status.

    The only way I can scan is by using the touchpad on the printer and saving the scan on a USB key.

    I went to the page support and downloaded the latest drivers, but he has not made a difference.  I need to remove the printer and re - add again?

    You will appreciate greatly any help or advice.

    Thank you very much

    Hello.

    If the printer is used via the USB port, make sure that the printer is connected directly to your computer.  Avoid using USB hubs or extension to connect devices.

    If the printer is used with wireless, please proceed as follows to save your scanner to work wireless on Mac:

    1. click on the "Canon IJ Scan Utility" icon on the top of your screen and choose "display settings." (Located near the clock, looks like a scanner open with an arrow below). For the latest operating systems, the program can be located in the Canon Utilities listing applications.

    2. in the next screen, make sure that the network version of the printer is selected instead of "do not use". The network version will be a long series of numbers next to him.

    3. click on "Scan-of-operation-panel-settings".

    4. a new window should appear, make sure that the printer is selected, and then click OK.

    5. click OK to exit the utility.

    Once done, do the following:

    1. open the Application folder.

    2. open Canon Utilities.

    3. open MP Navigator.

    4. Once opened, click on the "Settings/preferences" button at the bottom.

    5. in the menu drop-down "Product name", select the Network Scanner.

    6. click OK at the bottom.

    Once done, try to scan from MP Navigator.

  • scanning using a shared printer

    Hello, I shared a printer to a network via Airport Extreme.  Nothing wrong with printing, but the problem is that I can't scan using the same printer.

    Is there anyway to scan a document using a shared printer? If so, how?

    Thank you.

    Scan is owner of all the trademarks so no USB device can provide a universal testing service.

    When you say shared printer is it connected via USB... then it may never work.

    If the printer has network and connected by ethernet or wireless, it is quite different... you just need the correct printer software.

    Hi @Sky1 ,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I see that you can not scan with your HP Photosmart c4680, on Mac OS X 10.10. I'm happy to help you!

    For this printer on Mac OS X 10.10 it there's no full feature software and drivers from HP. Only a generic driver that is built into the operating system, as described in this guide, HP printers - install Mac printer driver using Apple Software Update.

    To scan, you will want to go through this post, Re: iMac OS X 10.9.3 Scan for iMac driver for HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 a A910a does not appear to be, by my colleague @Sunshyn2005. Even if this post is for a different printer and operating system, it will always apply to your situation.

    I hope this helps!
