Scanner will not scan on Mac.

Hello

All of a sudden that my printer (Photosmart C6380) refuses to scan what either on my Mac. I go to the scanner that I would normally the Photosmart studio and select scan. The scanner then begins to initialize, then: "an unknown error has occurred" pop up appears. I did not what is wrong because it's all pop up says, he won't go into details in addition so I have no idea what actually is this error. I tried scanning my other printer HP (Deskjet F4280) and it came with the same error. I even tried the scan using my Macbook and I get the same error too. I also tried scanning the Mac to the printer, then the printer initializes and freezes I have to restart the printer.

I recently installed Mac OS X Snow Leopard on both Mac and that could be the reasoning of the problem, but the printer works without any problem. It just seems to be the scanner itself.

Thanks in advance.

On the right column is where you tell the file name, type, location, etc.  When you click on the Scan button it saves it (he actually does scan yet).

Define a location and a file name to test.

    Welcome to the HP Forums, it's a great place to get help, find answers and advice,
    Thanks for posting your request, I'll be more than happy to help you

    If I understand the scan does not work on the BONE of the Sierra.

    Don't worry, even if the following document does not mention Sierra, the Apple article will guide you through the steps to scan through

    • Image capture
    • Overview
    • Printers and Fax preferences in system preferences
    • Scanner / printer queue

    The basics of the Mac: using a scanner

    I also suggest to use the Apple Scan while you wait for the HP software update. You can use the link below to confirm that your printer is still compatible with your operating system: software of the printer and scanner for macOS Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, and the Mavericks.

    For links related, please here.

  • HP Photo Smart D5110 will not scan with Mac OS 10.9

    Help. I've looked everywhere and can't always come up with a solution to scan from my Photosmart. Worked fine until I upgraded to Maverick. Thank you!

    WelchSHello and welcome to the Forums of HP, I hope you enjoy your experience!

    I see that you are looking in your scanning options. I would try to help.

    Due to the age of the printer, there is no HP software for this printer on Mavericks.  You can, however, use the characters of basic Mac OS and drivers to scan.  I'm including a document on the installation and using the printer on a Macthat should help you to solve this particular section of the document titled "How to scan with Apple software update driver?"

    Please let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  • My MG5520 will not scan.

    I followed a current thread to try to correct the error scan 5,157,69 for my Canon MG5520. I can print fine, but the scanner will not work.  He says that it is offline.  I have a LinkSys EA9220 wireless router, however, this should not matter because I'm on the desktop which is also connected to a LAN cable.  What the hell is happening?  It's frustrating.

  • Photosmart D110a will not scan

    I am more able to scan documents on my printer Hp Photosmart D110A. I use Mac OS X portable 10.7.5 version. It is connected wireless and I am able to print.

    When I get up and walk on my printer, I select SCAN > SCAN TO PC and I get the error message: TRY to SCAN from which SEE COMPUTER DOCUMENTATION.

    When I open HP Scan on my laptop, I click on the button SCAN. He says then PREPARING to SCAN. Then he said: SCANNER COMMUNICATION CANNOT BE ESTABLISHED. THE PRINTER IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILIABLE. ENSURE THAT YOUR DEVICE IS TURNED ON, CHECK THE CONNECTION AND MAKE SURE THAT YOUR NETWORK IS WORKING PROPERLY. IF THESE CONDITIONS ARE CORRECT, RESTART THE DEVICE AND TRY TO SCAN THE IMAGE.

    I restart my printer and it will not scan. Nothing wrong with my internet connection. Previously, before I had scanning problems, my wireless on my printer button was flashing and I couldn't print wireless. I uninstalled the software from my laptop and remove the printer. I reinstalled the HP software and added to the printer and that solved my printing problem.  Now, digitization is a problem. Can anyone help me please with my scan problem?

    So I THOUGHT about IT!

    After you download the HP driver online once again, I went to HP utility (I had to add my printer again going up in system preferences > Add button > IP and enter my IP address).

    In the HP utility I cliked the name of my printer under devices, then on the right side I cliked the additional settings under settings of the printer.

    Then, I clicked on the embedded Web Server Open button.

    My web browser opens and it is the HP embedded Web server for my printer. I clicked the Scan button and the scanned image.

    You will then need to right click to save the image, and it allows to print wireless.

    So after a few days of trial and error my scanning has been fixed.

  • Scanner will not connect to my printer HP deskjet 3050

    I recently bought a printer HP Deskjet 3050 all-in-One series, scanner copier J611 a.  My operating system is Vista 64.  I received the error message is "Scanner not connected to the computer."  Everything worked, and then all of a sudden the scanner no longer works (print and copy of the works).  I tried to use the printing HP and Dr. Scan to try to solve the problems, but it did not help.  I also tried other solutions I found on the HP site.  Finally, I just uninstalled and reinstalled.  It did not help.  I can still print and copy but will not scan.  I need the scanner, more than anything I have an another printer/copier HP that I can use.

    I tried to analyze using the Wi - Fi connection but couldn't. I have not tried to use MS Paint. I saw in another thread, the proposition that, using a key USB cable might work and I tried it and it worked. It's a little embarrassing, but the key is that I can scan now. Thank you very much.
