"Scan to computer" button on Mac causes crash

HP Officejet Pro 8600

iMac running Max OS X Lion 10.7.5 end of 2006 (the most recent available for the Mac), fixed IP address. Wireless network.

Can not activate the function "scan to computer".

Had problems, but set through the day THEN updated the software Apple (essential!). Now, all ok.

Hello anslo,.

Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

I see that you had a problem with scanning in the Mac 10.7.5. It seems that you have solved the problem by running updates on the Mac, is this correct?

If more questions, do not hesitate to ask.

  • HP Color LaserJet M477fnw MFP: Scan to computer button disappeared

    Hello, I saw similar comments of the same issue, but none with a solution.  The closest is this: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/LaserJet-Printing/How-to-fix-missing-quot-scan-to-computer-quot-touchsc...

    Problem: We have a new printer that we have Setup.  During the installation process, on the touch screen, provided the message to "Scan to Computer".  We used the option to make sure it worked and took part in the computer we wanted.  We restarted the printer, and the option is now missing!  The option "Scan to Computer" has completely disappeared.  Where it was once a touchscreen button / option, no longer exists.

    Printer: HP Color LaserJet M477fnw MFP

    OS: Mac OS X 10.8.xx

    I downloaded the firmware update, but that doesn't work either.  I tried using the verification of updates of the touch screen of the printer, it can never connect.  I connected to the internet, I connected directly on a hard line, still no connection.  I literally just bought this printer yesterday, with a 2-year service plan, drove an hour to the next closest store that had it in stock and it gives me nothing else problems.

    I have unplugged and waited a minute.

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled the printer and the software from my computer.

    I'm out of ideas.

    Hello @gfrd3489

    If you talked about scanning to the icon post from work or option after pressing the icon of the scan on the printer itself that one has been dropped by HP since she had so many questions with that like on some devices will only scan flat and not of ADF.

    If you notice you still have other options such as scanning to USB key, scan to e-mail or scan in network on the printer folder of are next to the HP scanning app on the PC for windows and mac

    Devices most recent are not supposed to have this option on the first place and the firmware and normal updates which will remove devices more alumni who have it

    There were a few M477 which were sold to vendors when it first came out which was which, but as soon as he gets the first update will be deleted

    hope that clarifies the question

  • OfficeJet 5740: officejet 5740 - scan of the computer cannot be activated - cause communication error

    2 weeks ago, I bought a HP officejet 5740 - installed the software and everything worked well. Unfortunately, the printer is dead, and I just got a new.  In order to start to 'clean up', I removed all HP on the Mac software - and then installed the printer. I can print - and scan using progtram analysis. The printer is connect via ethernet.

    This left me with 2 numbers

    (1) for installation, Setup fails when I reached the setting of alerts (communication error - please restart the program) try to configure alerts in HP utility fail - even once to the criticism fail - restart program

    (2) I'm not able to activate the scan of the computer on the Mac.  I get "communication failed" when I try to turn on the feature in HP utillity

    What I tried

    Delete all HP software (several times) and reinstall it again - still the same problem

    I removed the HP software and used the diskutillity to fix the rights - and reinstalled him brand new - still same problem.

    I have reset the printingsystem on the mac - still the same problem

    I still think it's weird - because everything worked great with the first printer I had! -replace it with a similar one caused the problem.  And this isn't the printer - because scan to computer works with my wife PC

    I have run out of ideas - and hopes that someone can solve this problem!

    Thank you for your reply - the problem is now resolved.  It seems that when you run Uninstall HP also something with the printerdrives provided by Apple update. I noticed that version 3.1 was installed on March 2, when I installed the first printer, I bought (the one who broke down) in all my tests, uninstalling and installing the drivers, I have checked apple update, it says no new updates, but last night he said suddenly that there was an update and then it reienstalled the 3.1 drivers HP again - and surpirice the problem has been solved.

    Thank you for your quick response!

  • My Mac has crashed. Reinstalling my operating system or hard drive replacement will cause me to lose my Adobe Master Suite?

    I bought my Macbook Pro 17 (it's a Mid-2009, running Cougar 10.8.4) used on eBay, and it came with Adobe Master Suite CS5. I pursued a degree in graphic design, and the computer had everything that I needed to start. Now that I'm out of College, I rely heavily on InDesign and Photoshop to get the job done. However, after five years of loyal service without problem, my Mac has crashed and I have never used time Machine. I might have to reinstall Mountain Lion or replace the hard drive. Reinstalling my operating system or hard drive replacement will cause me to lose my Adobe Master Collection of applications? I can save them somehow?

    Any reply and help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you for your time.

  • HP OfficeJet Pro 8600: Scan - disable the 'Save' button with MAC OS 'SIERRA '.

    Hello world

    I have an Officejet Pro 8600 installed in a Macbook pro.

    After having upgraded to Mac OS Sierra (10.12) 'Save' button in the HP scanning software is now disabled when the save screen appears. Save documents are possible using the 'Test' option in the menu "Preferences".

    It worked fine with the latest version of 'El Captain'.

    I've searched for scanning HP new version for Mac OS Sierra, but nothing.

    Someone has any idea how to solve this problem?

    TKS in advance.

    Hello
    The HP scanning application is not compatible with Sierra, so you may experience problems.
    Remove the HP scanning by moving it to the trash, then empty the trash.

    Instead install HP Easy Scan below, it will be installed in the Applications folder:
    http://FTP.HP.com/pub/softlib/software12/HP_Quick_Start/OSX/installations/Essentials/HP-easy-scan-1_7_0.pkg

    If you experience additional problems, ensure that the latest version of the software is installed by following HP Easy Start below:
    http://FTP.HP.com/pub/softlib/software12/HP_Quick_Start/OSX/applications/HP_Easy_Start.app.zip

    Finally, make sure that your drivers are up-to-date by clicking the Apple icon, select about this Mac and then press on software update.
    Click on the Bank on the menu bar, click Reload Page, click all update if an update is available.

    Kind regards

    Last updated on Windows 7 cause "Crash Dump" on my computer. Watch journal update KB2264107 and KB2454826 will not settle. I do a system restore to get back. I tried the "auto update" three times.


    KB2454826 was fired shortly after its initial release, January 11, 2011. Revised (for example, fixed) versions of KB2454826 have been re-published February 8, 2011.

    NB: KB2454826 is an update Important/recommended, it's always an option, not the security update (from this edition). That being said, we now know that KB2454826 is a prerequisite for the update for IE9. As it will probably be a prerequisite update for SP1 of Win7, too, you probably don't want to hide.

    KB2264107 is an option, not the security update. Feel free to hide it.

  • No option for "Scan to Computer" Lion mountain on Mac

    I installed the latest drivers from "full functionality" for my Officejet Premium 8600, v12.23.0.

    I'm running OS X 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion).

    I want to be able to scan directly from the printer to my laptop, using the function "Scan to Computer".  However, when I open the HP utility, I see no option for "Scan to Computer" in scanning settings.  I don't see options for 'Scan to email' and "Scan to Network Folder".

    In the search of these forums, only suggestions that I found are to install the full featured of the printer drivers, I have already done.

    Many thanks in advance for any help!

    -Nate

    Click your desktop, then click on the menu to go to the top and select Applications you should see the Hewlett-Packard folder.

    If you do not see such a folder, run the installation once more, make sure you check the HP recommended software during the progress of the installation...

  • "Scan to computer is enabled no longer."

    After the upgrade to Windows 10 I continually get this message, "Scan to computer is no longer enabled.  I disabled "Scan to Computer" network printer and ran print and scan doctor and you have restarted the computer and the printer. I always get the sporadic message. It is very annoying.

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

    I should be able to provide suggestions!  Looks like that a little a problem with the software and scanning to the message from the computer.  When you disable the scan of the computer should be a checkbox bellow the button.  The box should say something like "Automatically start scan of the computer" when I log on Windows Make sure that this box is NOT checked.

    If the above suggestion already exists and you are still having the problem then I suggest that you uninstall the HP software. Once the uninstall is complete, it would be wise to perform a cleanup of the computer disk. A disk cleanup will improve the performance of the computer and remove the temporary files that may cause problems during the installation of the software. Once disk cleanup you must restart the computer and reinstall the HP software.

    To uninstall the HP software, click here: uninstall the HP software

    To perform a disk cleanup, click here: Windows Disk Cleanup (same steps for Windows 10) 8.1

    To download the HP software, click here: HP Officejet 6500 has more full feature software and driver

  • "Scan to computer" the printer only works for admins

    HP Officejet 6700, OS X Lion. Latest version of the software.

    Only admin users can scan the printer using the screen touch "Scan to Computer".  The non-admin users get communication errors. The computer is listed and after choosing works very well if the admin user is the active connection. But if a standard user is the current user, then it does not work. Scanning HP utility does not connect on the standard user account to "Activate the Scan of the computer". That translates into a communication error. But return to the admin, and it connects.

    Surely, it works in a context of user multi for non-admins. Do the other admin users is not an option.

    Standard users can use the HP scanning app on the computer, but the family loves the conveinence of the button "Scan of the computer. Its a nice feature. But seems broken.

    Fixed it! I just needed you to give me advice in the right direction. File on the file plist property seemed incorrect, so I changed to match the other hp plist file:

    -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 673 com.hp.messagecenter.launcher.plist January 19, 2010

    He now works in any account. Possible sound when I tried to fix my problem of no printing in January, one of the suggestions involved edit this file plist for HP Device monitor has not started, because it has been reported to cause problems in the past. Too bad repair disk permissions did not catch it. Thank you very much. Scan of the computer is a nice feature. (Although, the constant polling of devices HP monitor I see in the activity monitor always makes me nervous.)

  • Photosmart 5520: Photosmart 5520 scan to computer problems

    Scan of the computer decided not to work. I reloaded the drivers (including the latest HP - inkjet ink-SW-OSX - Mavericks_v12.34.44.dmg) without success. I tried to delete the printer and start again. The printer print wireless without a problem and I scan the computer successfully. The network connection is fine. When I went through the installation program, it tells me "a critical error has occurred. Please restart the application and try again". When I try to activate the scan to computer, I get a communication error "unable to communicate with the device. Check the cables and the connection parameters. If the problem persists, try restarting your computer and the HP device. "even if there is a wireless communication between the desktop computer and printer.

    Any other suggestions? Is there a specific driver of El Capitan (OS 10.11)?

    Hi @AdrianCouani,

    I think we need to adopt a different approach and perform an uninstall more complete.

    I know that you have completed some of these steps already, but it is important that complete us the steps in the order presented.  Please follow the steps below and let me know the results of your efforts:

    Scrub / uninstall

    • Open the Applications folder > folder HP or Hewlett Packard > Uninstall HP
    • Click continue, click on one of the printers in the list.
    • * Only perform this step if you have not all other HP printers.  Press and hold the Option, control and command, while now the three buttons.
    • Click Uninstall.

    Manually uninstall the remaining files potentially - I apologize in advance is not a fun task! I'll try to make it easy to follow. Some files described in the following steps may be found, if you can't find one of the files or folders on your computer, do not be alarmed.

    The workflow default scanning set up to scan documents in black and white. Be sure to change the settings for scanning to scan color documents:

    Now change the settings as follows:
    1 open the HP utility and select your device.
    2. based on Scan Settings open the "Scan to Computer".
    3. click on the tab scan tasks.
    4. Select the affected shortcut and click on change... (or double-click on the shortcut).
    5. in the section of scanning from an HP device, click the blue triangle or button view details to expand the menu.
    6. in the expanded menu now, open the drop-down next to the Mode
    7. now select the color option, and then click OK to save the changes. The next scanned using this workflow is displayed in color.
