Scanning old photos; Scan error try scan from computer or read documentation.

I have a HP Photosmart printer and scanner and a Packard Bell laptop.

When I try to scan pictures, I get the message on the printer. Scan error try scan from computer or read documentation.

I don't know how to scan from computer and lap top does not come with documentation, that everything is on the help screens. I looked and could not find any help for my problem screen.

I ran the printer troubleshooting, but who has detected no problems.

Hello

Looks like you are trying to use the Scan button on the printer, that should work.

When he says scan of the computer, you open the HP printing software that you have installed since the first installation of the printer, and you use the option/instructions HP Scan from that.

See you soon.

  • How to scan from computer?

    I'm trying to scan a document on D110 eprinter but get the following scan error message 'try scan from computer or see the documentation '. Any help?

    Hi mehaem,

    If you use that a Windows based PC, open the icon of the solution center which should have been created when you installed the software. In this application, you should have the option to scan.

    If you use a machine based MAC OS x, in the drawer of applications, in the Hewlett-Packard folder, there is an application called HP Scan. You can perform an operation analysis of this application.

    I hope this helps!

    Hello

    No, you cannot scan from computer to the printer. You have to put original on the glass and you can use the HP scanner on computer software to scan and save a document/photo scanned on computer.

    My question: do you have installed the software and driver on your computer yet? You should do this first.

    Kind regards.

  • HP deskjet 3050 j610: when I try to scan from my printer it will not connect

    When I try to scan from my printer I get a message "Cannot find HP deskjet 3050 j610. But I can print from it and get data as ink tank printer. It started abruptly today. It worked OK until a few days ago.  The printer is connected by a USB cable. I tried the driver update and 'repair' menus via HP scanning problems without success.  If I press scan on the printer button it says "scan error. try to scan from computer', but that's what I usually do using the calculation icon in the menu START.

    I solved the problem. The basic steps were (1) using the HP links to update my driver printer and research to find errors in the scanning program. (2) restart my computer and printer. After the first part, I didn't see any listed results. Normally I would have restarted the printer and the computer, but is afraid of losing my sites and the investigation, so I kept looking for the various comments.  I found a reference to this site in one of the post near mine for a #7520 device but cannot return immediately to give the author of the post. I think I sent him a response.

    http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00040499.

    This site gives lots of tips for different situations and devices. I followed the advice that it applied to my computer and printer who ended with step 2 (I use a USB connection) and the scanner was working again.

  • media player does not open. Itried the benchmark tool, it did not help. I tried the scanning from the prompt, it says that some files were corrupted and could not repair them. There is no error message at all

  • Print issues with old photos scanned .jpeg prints too large & can't print in black & white

    I have a bunch of old photos & scanned articles of a scanner flat of maybe 10 years ago or not.   These are all .jpeg files.

    First of all, when I print on the Windows Live Photo Gallery, they are all print in color, no matter if I change my printer settings or if I go in settings in Windows Live Photo Gallery and deselect color.

    Secondly, not printing in black & white, they all print out extra large and therefore do not fit on an 8 1/2 x 11 pages.  All this elements analysed in years were roughly between 3 "x 5" until maybe 8 'x 10'. "  The fact is that they don't print as I would like.

    One last question, is that I have a newspaper article large .pdf format.  I printed it weeks and had no point of color above.  But I printed this on paper 11 "x 17".pdf file.  She printed on the entire page, but it was stopped at the bottom of each printed page, and I don't understand why.  Which certainly confused me.  Any suggestions?  My plan was to save the pages together to view the log what it was.  It's pages of the newspaper of 1886.

    Thank you

  • ePrint 7510 does not recognize my iPad when you try to scan from printer iPad.
