"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:

iMac27:LaunchAgents pdivita$ ls-l * hp *.
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pdivita admin 395 com.hp.devicemonitor.plist May 26, 2012
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 673 com.hp.messagecenter.launcher.plist January 19, 2010
iMac27:LaunchAgents pdivita$ sudo chown root: wheel com.hp.devicemonitor.plist
Password:
iMac27:LaunchAgents pdivita$ ls-l * hp *.
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 395 com.hp.devicemonitor.plist May 26, 2012
-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.)

  • The tolerance setting works for the "Convert anchor point tool"? Are there other ways?

    Hello
    I wonder if the setting "tolerance"in the preferences only works for the arrow tools?» I put it to 8 pixels and it seems OK for these tools, but when I use the tool 'Convert Anchor' point it is incredible difficult to hit a point for me. It seems that I have to hit a point exactly one pixel, which is hard with a screen high resolution.
    My PC keeps beeping all the time and I'm getting crazy on this subject...
    It seems that the framework of tolerance doesn't work here, I'm right? There are other parameters that could help me to work with this tool?

    Sorry if this is the kind of a beginner question, I have much experience with PS and LR, but not so much with Illustrator (and I couldn't find anything useful in the internet).

    Thank you
    Raschko

    I agree, it is sometimes difficult to click on the sweet spot. Here are 3 proposals:

    1. Pay attention to the cursor icon. This will change when you are on a point anchor or direction.
    2. Try to turn on 'bearings commented. They can be a nuisance, but they are sometimes useful.
    3. Use the button "convert" on the Options bar. They may take a little longer but they are full-proof, moreover, you can convert or remove several selected points simultaneously using this method.

  • Pavilion dv6-2150us: scanning wireless to the printer on my computer

    computer, Pavilion dv6-2150us, product # WA779UA #ABA, Windows 7 Home Premium

    HP Photosmart B209 more Pinter a - m

    I am able, with a usb connection to scan from the printer to my computer;  I want to scan wireless to the printer on my computer.

    Thank you

    Hello Mocha7 ;

    Welcome to the HP forums!

    I read your post on the analysis of the problems with your HP Photosmart Plus B209 a - m and wanted to help.

    I don't have the same printer model, but I do not have other HP printers, and the process is essentially the same.  When you install the full exercise for the printer software, it installs a shortcut on the desktop that allows you to scan to PC.  I did it with two different HP network printers and it works the same for both.

    So, you need to check that you have installed the complete service for the printer software. The linked page is for Win7 software and the driver for your printer: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Photosmart-Plus-All-in-One-Printer-series---B2/3777155/model/3777156

    IF it shows no Windows 7 when you open it, click the Edit button and select Windows 7 from the pulldowns.

    In addition, this link is to the page for your printer troubleshooting: http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-Photosmart-Plus-All-in-One-Printer-series---B2/3777155/model/3777156/troubleshooting

    Please note that there are two procedures, you should try to use: printing using doctor Scanand a communication or connection error ...  See if they are able to help you solve the problem of scanning.

    Good luck

  • can someone let me know how to print a scanned document. In printing only the 1st page prints fine as I know that there is more than one document.

    can someone let me know how to print a scanned document. In printing only the 1st page prints fine as I know that there is more than one document.  This is the version Adobe photoshop cc 2014.  Someone said it you use printing quick button but who can't find anywhere.

    Carolyn

    Carolyn,

    I don't know if Photoshop is the best solution for the printing of DOCUMENTS scanned.  Photoshop opens a page of a DOCUMENT at a time, let's say you have a MultiPage PDF Document, when you open with the PS, tell him what page you want to open. Once you do, it will convert this page into basically a picture, a raster file that can be edited like a photo.  So if you go to print, it prints only one page, you have open...  So, if you have opened the first page of your document and go to print it, which explains why it only prints the first page.

    So is what file type of the document that you are trying to print?  If it's a PDF file, I opened it with Acrobat/Reader, depending on whether you have and that FILE you > PRINT it like that.   Or is there a particular reason (Lighten/Darken/increase contrast etc...) you are needing to go first to Photoshop?

    Give me a little more information on exactly what you're trying to do and I'll do my best to provide a workflow easier to achieve your final goal.

    I hope this helps.

  • Flash player only works for a single user on the PC

    I'm running a PC with Windows XP and IE8 there are two accounts on the PC, one for me and one for my wife, we are both members of the Administrators group on the computer. It was that I installed everything on my account. Then he was asked to update Adobe once, the installation failed, and since it does not work on his account.

    I've been through the knowledge base and uninstalled using the Adobe cleaning tool. I haven't used any other third-party tool, although I use the microsoft file to clean the registry. I even went up to now as uninstall adobe all other relevant documents and turn off my Norton antivirus to do a reinstall.

    I do not have or that run the system only works antivirus.

    The flash drive installed large on my journal, like the installation of ActiveX. It worked great (for me) when my wife recorded it did not work. So I ran the Adobe clean uninstall once again and then tried to install my wifes log. Installed fine but adobe flash activeX will not settle, it fails to half way through.

    I then go to my login and it installs and works for me, but not on hers.

    Any ideas would be really helpful

    Thank you

    I had a similar problem except Flash worked on some sites on one account administrator and all sites on the other. After deleting Java and re - installing and removing the Flash and reinstalling still had the same problem on this account of an administrator.

    I then deleted the history of full navigation on the account that did not work and 'Bingo', it worked. Who knows? Don't know what actually helped but remove history solved the problem in the end. Sometimes the simplest things solve the problem?

  • Synchronize the dictionary of data with model only works for models imported?

    When I imported data dictionary model (file-> import-> data dictionary) then in relational model the two buttons "Synchronize Data with Model Dictionary" and "Synchronize model with Data Dictionary" works very well.

    But when I model created from scratch and I'm clicking on the buttons "Synchronize data dictionary with the model" or "Synchronize model with Data Dictionary" nothing happens.

    It works only for models imported?

    (Data model EA 3.3)

    Hello

    Yes, Synchronize only works for objects that were imported to the original (like Synchronize uses the information entered during the import to determine which database connection and the database object to compare to).

    If your model is not imported, you can achieve the same effect as follows:
    -Open the template in Data Modeler and also open the relevant physical model.
    -Do an Import of data dictionary, select the objects you want to compare with that.

    After the import phase, this will display the dialog box to compare, showing the differences between the objects imported from the database and your model.

    Note that if you intend to generate the DDL to update your database of the difference (as in "synchronize with Model Data Dictionary"), you must select the "Swap Target Model" option in step 2 (select database schema) data dictionary import wizard.

    Gdiplus.dll error messages may appear when using or installing some programs when Windows starts or shuts down, or maybe even during a Windows installation.

    The context of the error in gdiplus.dll is a key piece of information that will be useful while solving the problem.

    Gdiplus.dll errors are caused by situations that lead to the removal or corruption of the gdiplus.dll file

    In some cases, gdiplus.dll errors could indicate a problem, a virus or malware Registry problem or even a hardware failure.

    Hi jodepepevalentin,

    In the print menu, check "scale to fit media" under the Position and size of the device and then check out.

    If you want the area selected for printing, check "Print selected area" under the Position and size and specify the size.

    that means when the message tells me that the printer doesn't have a pilot - it's recording and the printer is working but does not connect to pc

    This means that there is no driver installed on the system.  According to the printer model there may be a driver available via Windows Update or download on the website of the manufacturer.  If none of these options are available there may be a compatible driver that can be used by selecting a driver to a different printer model.

    What is your printer model?
