Scanning/printing with envy 4500 problem

We had our combo printer for about 6 months... we had a problem with the printing of our laptop computer after you install the software. When you try to print, the dialog box shows the printer is offline, but it's not. We also have the software installed on our desktop. My question is, we are limited to a single computer for this printer and not both? If so, this is not cool. I have run diagnostics and just, it will not help. I uninstalled the software from the laptop and reinstalled. It worked today, but now I can not scan from my office. What is the problem?

Hi @radiowizard,

Welcome to the HP Forums!

I see that your HP Envy 4500 printer is indicating that it is in offline mode. According to another post, you run that Windows 7 is that correct? I'm happy to help you with this problem of connection!

This printer has USB connection or wireless connectivity options. If you wireless you can print with several computers, if computer USB and then one at a time.

Please consult this guide, "Printer is off-line" Message appears on the computer and the printer does not print: Windows 7.

Hope this guide clears things up for you and have a wonderful day!

  • HP envy 4500 problems scanning - used to work, now, not so much

    I tried to solve this problem for over 3 hours now so apologies if shows my frustration.

    Equipment:

    MacBook pro under OS X 10.9.2

    Apple airport express router

    HP Envy 4500 all in one printer/scanner

    I can print without problem.

    Using the HP Scan application, I get this message:

    My camera looked good in regards to connectivity on my computer in system preferences, then I went to the screen of printer control in the menu 'Wireless' and I tried to redo the wireless configuration. I typed in my network name and the printer can't find my network. I have continued in any case, left the network name in and typed the wi - fi password, still no luck.

    So I tried the WPS in place. The screen just kept looking, and nothing connected.

    So, I tried to download the drivers from the HP site and guess what? The driver is installed on my hard drive, but then set it up the window of the HP utility can't find my device is:

    I tried to connect the printer directly to the computer with the USB cable, just so he could download the driver, he got as far as the next step, "Configuring device" and who doesn't work anymore:

    I tried to restore the default settings on the printer.

    I tried uninstall & reinstall - oh, but then we encounter the same problem.

    And during all this, the printer has frozen several times, so I had to unplug the power to restart.

    I restarted my computer and my router. I did everything listed to. The printer does not have the router in Setup Wizard, and in the HP utility, it does not find my printer, BUT I CAN PRINT.  Just doesn't scan.

    For some reason, I can PRINT wireless with no problems. But the scanner do not think that my router or my computer is. I can not open even the utilities EVEN when it is connected DIRECTLY with USB, I get this message:

    I am beyond frustrated, I'm about to throw it at the wall. Please if anyone has a solution, I'd like to hear it. This printer is not even 5 months old. I HATE when things are not working. I can understand if I did something to it, but I did nothing else until it turned off for a few days.

    Note: I WAS able to scan before without a problem. The only thing I can think is that I put my printer off for a few days because I was not using it.

    Ugh. OK, it's been 4 hours.

    Hi, if anyone else has this problem, read this post, it has solved the problem for me:

  • scanning with envy 4500

    I bought a HP Envy 4500 several months ago.  No problems at all with the copy /printing.  Went to use the Scan function for the first time yesterday and get an error message that the scanner and the computer are not connected. I tried to scan the front of the printer and the HP Photosmart software and still get the same message.  Other functions still work correctly.  Help!

    I finished chatting online with someone in support of HP for more than 2 hours.  RELOADED software of printer driver.  I was scanning with HP Photosmart Studio before I bought my new printer.  Now I'm scanning with HP Scan, which is located in the HP folder on my hard drive (not sure if it's still there or if he appeared with the new download).  I can easily transfer what I have scanned scanning HP Photosmart Studio in.  HP scanning works even better than Photosmart.

    Problem solved.

  • ENVY 4500: Lack of scanning for HP ENVY 4500 software after reinstalling the laptop

    Dear support,

    I got a HP ENVY 4500, installed on a laptop with Windows 8.1 and the HP Software scanner worked fine.

    I have recently reinstalled the same laptop but with Windows 10 Pro: the printer works fine but the scanner software HP is not available! I can't use all the features of the printer this way...

    My question is: why the HP scanning software is not available for Windows 10 Pro? I used the original CD.

    Where can I download the (new) 10 Pro software for Windows?

    Please help me solve this problem.

    Kind regards

  • Printing with mac vmware problem

    Hello

    I looked around in the discussions, but not found anything specific, sorry if this has been covered a lot before.

    I try to print with my host of XP in Fusion 3.0.1 mac printer.  Printers on the mac appear as XP printers and printing on them does not work.  The icon for the printer appears in the XP taskbar for 2-3 seconds then disappears.

    The problem is probably that printers on mac are actually themselves remote - these are versions of a printer on an airport extreme outside on the wlan.  But it has worked a certain time, return at some point.  I have not used XP to print for a long time.

    Running os x 10.6.2.

    Any help appreciated, thanks.

    Hi billn,.

    Here is an article in the knowledge base for troubleshooting printer problems: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1014535

    If you are not able to get the impression with this article, I have a few questions.

    You can print successfully to these printers using the Mac?

    How do you have printers in Windows? You use printer Passthrough, or you have the configuration of printers as printers network in the comments?

  • Want 4500: What could be the problem with envy 4500?

    I have a router linksys Cisco E1000 and internet Charter cable.  The router has active firewall.  I installed the 4500 exactly as I should and it showed at the start of my network, printed and everything was peachy.  Fast forward by day and cannot find the printer on my network, but he always says that it is connected.  I need a solution.

    Hi @Rightgrl and welcome to the Forums of HP!

    I see that you are having connectivity problems. I would like to help with that!

    I have a couple of steps that I would recommend.

    First of all, I would recommend a power reset the printer.  Unplug the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug back in the printer. Make sure that you connect the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any surge protector or power bar.

    Second, I would say after the steps described in this document:

    Troubleshooting wireless printing Center

    Also, I recommend disabling the firewall.

    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Printer HP Envy 4500 stuck in shutdown

    I tried to copy a document.  I resized it by reducing the size, but intended to increase the size.  Error message said it was "impossible to analyze, power the printer off then back on."  If this does not work, the scanner is broken. "I pressed the power button / stop and screen read"shutting down", but it is stuck there.  None of the buttons work.

    Hello Dda1,

    Welcome to the HP Forums.

    I see that you have a problem with the printer not wanting to stop.

    Try unplugging the power cable at the back of the printer and the power supply.  If you use a power strip/bar, please connect the power supply directly on a wall outlet and stop using the Strip/bar.

    Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer for example, but it is intended for HP products in general. Please click the link which explains the problems when connected to an uninterruptible power supply/Strip/surge protector power.

    If troubleshooting doesn't help not solve your problem, then I would say call the HP Technical Support to see all the other possibilities for you. If you call in North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, please click here: click here.

  • Printer with Photoshop CS5 problems

    Using my Espon R2000 with Photoshop CS5 and Windows 7 (32 bit), I select the printer again each time I have print copy, zero profile type, orientation and printer paper.  Sometimes, especially when I do only my 2nd or 3rd copy, I can just click on the printer properties to make the selections, but usually when I do this, I get the error message "because the printer does not exist."  I have installed the latest updates for Photoshop (version 12.0.4).  Any suggestions?

    I remember something for a long time earlier...  Your printer has a long name or complicated (for example, spaces containing)?

    Seems I remember that setting the printer to be simple names, 8 or fewer names of characters with no spaces or special characters can be useful.
