Printer won't scan in color?

My personal printer is a HP Officejet 6500 a e710n-z

I have for a few years now and it was working perfectly so far

But tonight, when I tried to scan a picture, any program, I used or settings I changed, the image would not scan in color.

On the setting of the color, I got an image in grayscale.  On the determination of levels of grey, I had a mess Bacon, black and white.

I have tried everything I can think to solve this problem, including: combing through the support forums, run the diagnostics on the machine and manually restart the printer.  Nothing works.

If anyone knows how to solve this problem, please please tell me what I need to do so that the Analyzer produces color once again.

  • HP 4500 Envy: Just installed my hp envy 4500, it won't scan in color when you use the pdf document.

    I just installed my hp envy 4500 with software updated and everything. When I scanned a page of letter United States using Documents with text preset (through the control panel of the printer or my mac using Hp scanning application) it comes out only in black and white. The only color work is if I use the 'General purpose' preset, but the resulting dimensions of the scan above the 8.5 x 11 format.

    Ive tried to see if I can change a mode in the settings of scanning... I saw this earlier post to troubleshoot: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Scanning-Faxing-and-Copying/Envy-4500-won-t-scan-pdf-in-color/td-p/3970...

    but these instructions correspond to my HP utitliy application since there is no 'blue triangle' or drop-down menu next to the Mode of my Scanner... as well as an option to choose the color.

    Help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hi @jnicolem

    From your description, it seems that you need to change your scan tasks. You can change the scan tasks by following the steps below.

    Follow the instructions below.

    Hello @CJAI, greetings!

    Thank you for joining the Forums of HP Support!  It's a good place to find the help you need, other users, HP experts and other support staff.

    I see that you are having problems when scanning using the document feeder. Have you tried to do a scan using the HP Easy Scan application? HP Easy Scan is a free app on the App Store with tools to scan documents and photos to a Mac running OS X 10.9 or later version.

    Please go to http://hp.care/2d75fhX to get detailed instructions to scan and also to change the settings, including the color settings. If you don't have the application, you can also download and install the application from the same link.

    These measures should be the case, I would like to know the results

    Good luck

  • Photosmart 7520: Printer will not scan in color

    My printer has until recently been able to produce an analysis of color using the supplied document and the printer control panel. Now, he refuses to do so even if I did not consciously change all parameters. I can get a scan color by placing a single document in the printer and then goes via system preferences/printers and scanners and selecting the scanner, and then set the print area and choose the resolution, but it is a rather laborious and tedious route.

    I downloaded the most up to date nd drivers software on the HP site, but this has not solved the problem. Interestingly, the software download is labeled OS Mavericks, so it made me wonder whther that perhaps this is related to my recent update to Yosemite?

    Any suggestions or advice welcome

    Hello

    Of the applications folder, open the Hewlett-Packard HP Scan application bin folder, then empty the trash.

    Then download and install the HP Easy Scan from the Mac App Store app and try to scan the image of the front of the printer:

  • My printer won't scan or print from the computer

    After a weekend with no storm (my whole system has been turned off), I can't get my printer to work on the computer.

    My icon on the desktop HP Solution Center was gone so I reloaded the software (vista 64-bit) and then even uninstalled and reinstalled the software and although the solution center is now back as a shortcut, it is said there is no printer detected.  Diagnostics at HP said the printer is detected, but nothing clears the problem.  Help, please.

  • Office Jet 2130: why isn't my Office Jet 2130 scanning in color, still print in color, (suddenly)?

    I just scanned a few photos in color and have the proper color settings, then I printed a few color photos and now I can't scan in color, yet can still print in color. All cartridges are full. What gives?

    Welcome to the HP Forums @DogenGenjo,

    I'd love to help you with your Deskjet 2130. I see from your description, you are able to print in color, but you can not scan in color longer. I am convinced that I will be able to help you find a solution, and I ask only that pay you it forward. When solve us the problem, I would mark you kindly post as accept as Solution so that others have the same or similar problem can find what worked for you.

    You said that your settings are correct, but I wonder if you try to change your preset scanning if it would work. You have the scan on scan document or scan photo? Can you also check the color scanning settings and let me know what it says?

    While I wait for you, let's run printing HP and Scan Doctor (PSDR) to see if he can help us identify and resolve the issue. You can download the PSDR since the following link: www.hp.com/go/tools

    Please let me know the result of your efforts and I will get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks, I can't wait to hear back on your part.

  • Windows 8 on my HP laptop, I tried to scan to computer on my printer HP Envy 114 and it won't scan to computer

    I just installed Windows 8 on my HP laptop, I tried to scan to computer on my printer HP Envy 114 and it won't scan to the computer, I ran the store to correct what ever the problem is but the convenience store said no problem. I checked to make sure that the scan of the computer is enabled and it is, but still won't work, says windows 8 is not compatible with the scan of the computer. Any ideas?

    Make sure you install the scanner/printer drivers and the scanner on windows computer software 8. Then try to scan from the computer instead of the scanner to the computer. To scan, you must have the scanner that is connected directly to the computer to win 8 (you can't sweep a scanner on a different computer) or a network scanner connected to your router. Check the compatibility site to check if your scanner is supported.

  • 5530 envy: Envy 5530 won't print, copy or scan

    Red 'X' on the lower right part of the screen of the printer is on and printer no longer works. Checked the utility application and was advised that black cartridge that is low on ink. Change cartridge. Utility program says ok now all levels. Tried to align, but although the printer display says 'printing', 'X' red down and nothing happens. Tried to print, copy and scan with similar results. Printer says it works but nothing happens. Have restarted printer and computer (iMac) without success. HELP please.

    There is no error message. The screen on the printer actually said 'impression' and the 'clock indicator' was renewable, but nothing was happening. When the operation has been cancelled and another operation selected is the same - no error message and everything seemed to happen normally, but nothing. Checked for paper and and cartridge jams - clear at all.

    Repeated undo operation retry printing a certain number of times and after about the tenth time, no reason apparent, it printed! Check all the other functions - all normal. A overall good wifi connection.

    Gremlins?

    Thank you for your help.

    My c410 HP Premium Fax e-all-in-one won't copy (white spell page), only prints in faded gray even when the quality is set to 'best', will only print up and part side of page - excludes the middle of the page and analyze only a portion of the document.  A new black ink cartridge has been installed in a couple of weeks.  Supply levels say the black is full, all the color is 3/4 full and the photo ink is full.  The printer has been idle for a few weeks - I had to restart it returning to work, because he wouldn't (and is often not) respond to print requests.

  • HP Photosmart 7525 scan in color

    I just bought this printer and when I scan multiple documents color using the manger, they come out in black and white.  Is it possible to scan several documents by their food in the feeder?

    Thank you!

    Hi @pro-v1x ,.

    I understand that you are not able to scan several documents from the ADF in colour. I would like to help out you
    with this issue today.

    I would like to do a hard reset to see if that will solve the problem.
    Let the printer and disconnect the printer cable and the wall socket for 60 seconds.
    Reconnect the power cable to the output of the printer and the wall, and not a surge protector.
    This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

    I have provided a document for how to scan multiple pages and how to change the settings for scanning. Please select your operating system from the list. Scan.

    The HP software, it will give you the ability to scan in color. The binding of advanced settings, uncheck the option to create a new file for each analysis, or combine multiple in one file scans, if you want multiple documents to save in a file.

    If you're still having problems, try and make a color copy.

    What operating system do you use? How to find the Windows Edition and the Version on your computer.

    If you need help, let me know.

    Good day!
