snow leopard 10.6 scan problem with HP F4480 printer

Hi, would appreciate help with this. the printer works fine, but when I try to scan it tells me scanner not found - have tried to download the drivers without success, tried to use press scan on the printer - no luck - looks like I'm not the only one! Suggestions? Thank you very much!

One more check before we shoot with heavy artillery: Preview or Image Capture, make sure that you click on the small triangle next to devices or shared on the left of the window.

If you have done this a TI still does not work you probably leftovers from the 10.5 HP software (either because you just upgraded or you have loaded the software from the CD to the printer on 10.6).  To delete this software:

Go to Hewlett Packard / click Uninstall HP
Click on continue
Highlight your device in the left pane
Hold down the Ctrl and Opt, as well as Apple and click on uninstall
There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall all hp software. (At this point, if you continue, all HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled, this is why we do not run this thing all the time)
Click on continue
Let the cleaner it is.

Now, do a software update to add drivers that the cleaner should not be deleted.

Then, reset the printing system (System Prefs, Print & Fax, right-click in the list of printers, and then choose "Reset printing system").

Finally, add the printer by using the sign '+' at the bottom of the printer list.

  • Updated to Snow Leopard, can not scan printer, by computer.

    When I had Mac OS Leopard (10.5.8), I had no problem to scan from my HP 310a wireless all-in-one printer, I just press scan on my printer and it's done.  Since I've upgraded to Snow Leopard (10.6.7), I can do it no longer.  I get a message on my printer saying should I scan my computer, which means that I have to click on the shortcut of scanning HP in my iMac that came with the HP software.  How can I change it so I can scan my printer again?

    You probably can't.  This feature does not work most of the time with Snow Leopard, sorry.

  • Problem with not to print all pages in a document with a HP Photosmart 7520

    I have a HP Photosmart 7520 networked printer.  If I try to print a document of medium to large sized (25 pages), it prints the first 20 without problem, but the remaining pages are incomprehensible and illegible. Initially, because it appeared that the problem was caused triny to print in the background with the closed document, so I tried to print the entire document with it open along the.  This no longer works.

    Hello CRC8591, I hope you are well

    I understand that you have a problem with printing a 25-page document that the last 5 pages are so do not print correctly and show to be unreadable. I want to help you with this question, the best that I can!

    I have a few questions to familiarize yourself a little more with the question and I have also some suggestions to start with.

    1. what operating system do you use?

    Operating system Windows am I running?
    Mac OS X: how to find which Mac OS X Version is on my computer?

    2. try to print the document of several pages of another program. It prints successfully elsewhere?

    3. the same problem occurs when you copy or scan multipage documents?

    Try:

     

    1. reset of the printer and leave unplugged for at least a minute.

    Plug the printer directly into the wall, avoiding bars power and surge protectors. This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

    2. check if the printer needs a firmware update: get the latest Firmware and updates

    Let me know the results!

  • Can't print or scan documents with Canon MG2470 printer (2400 series)

    Original title: install a driver for the Canon 2400 series printer

    Hello

    I am currently not able to print or scan documents with my Canon MG2470 printer (2400 series), that worked perfectly until a few days ago.

    I tried to reinstall the software of the printer, including the driver, but the latter does not settle.  The control panel displays a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark against the Canon 2400 printer, but when I "fix" the problem, it remains unresolved.  Accordingly, my 'Cute pdf writer' is set as the default printer that is not of much use.

    Regarding documents scanning with the same printer, I now get the error code 5156.69 to come, but I don't seem to be able to solve this problem either.

    Any help on this issue would be appreciated.

    Norman

    Hi Norman,

    This problem can occur because of corrupt drivers, incompatible drivers, due to the printer settings, missing updates, and problems with the printer.

  • Tecra A8: Problem with the USB printer connected to the Port Replicator III

    Hi all

    I have a problem with my Tecra A8, year Advanced Port Replicator III and a USB printer. With the printer connected to a USB port on the Port Replicator, I have to wait 2 minutes for printing to start. When it is connected directly to a USB port on the laptop and the laptop disconnected from the Port, printing starts immediately. I have the latest drivers from the Isensys of Canon LBP 2900 installed and Windows Vista professional as the operating system.

    I called the technical support of my country, but her is not recorded similar problems.

    A person with similar problem? Some help would be very appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Seems like a strange question... Already done the standard procedure in the event of such errors? :)

    The standard procedure is somehow similar to the following:

    -Update your BIOS
    -Update all the drivers for your machine
    -Update your printer drivers
    -Update your operating system

    If all else fails, then try an another Portrep if available, maybe you need to contact your dealer for an another portrep for the test.

    Something like this should be your way. And then you sucessfully made a TROUBLESHOOTIN´ ;)

    I'd be happy to hear feedback from you on your situation...

  • problem with wireless portable printer

    Windows 8

    HP Laserjet 200 color M251

    I had this set up works correctly (I forgot how I did it), until we have had an interruption in the internet service last night.  Today, the display on the printer itself says its connected.  My laptop displays this PCL6 printer class driver.  I can't print anything.  Everytime I try, it is said that my impression is offline.  I checked the printer itself, and it says it is connected and online.

    Can someone please?

    Hey @Bionic1 ,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that you are having printing problem with your printer LaserJet M251.

    Can you tell me what operating system you are using? What version of Windows you are using, click here: Windows operating system am I running?

    You should be able to see the IP address of the printer by pressing the button on the main screen of the printer wireless. This should be at the top of the screen, then left to right. Once you have the IP address (should be something like 192.168.1.2), type it into the web browser address bar (as you would for a Web site) and try to load the page. This should open an information page for your printer, and is called a built-in Web server.

    If this page does not load, there is no wireless communication. If it does, it indicates that the wireless connection is probably fine, but unfortunately this is not always the case.

    Try powercycling your router to update the communication. Do this by unplugging the power cord from the router and leave it unplugged for at least 45 seconds. Plug back in and wait 1-2 minutes so he can come back online. At this point, try to print.

    If this fails, try to add the printer with the full functionality driver instead of the class driver. Open devices and printers, and right-click on the printer. You should have the ability to delete or remove the printer. Once it's done download and run this installation program: color HP LaserJet Pro 200 M251 series full feature software and drivers.

    Let me know if this helps.

  • Problem with my wireless printer and a PC.

    I don't know anything about computers so to speak to me like I'm a fool. Here's my problem I have a C4580 All in one printer and an HP Pavilion Slimline s3700y PC. It was a package deal with the upgrade of the wireless printer. Here's the problem "it seems every time I need to print something to the screen on the printer is black. I can not even put the printer off as the symbol of the power stays on. The only way for me to print something is to unplug the printer wait a few seconds, plug it in the screen lights up and back in and I can print. "It happens all the time. No idea of what the problem is? Please help before I throw this thing out the window. Thank you Richard a. Capano

    It is a common problem with the C4580. HP is working on a patch to fix it, and it should be out in mid-March. Hang in there.

  • Problem with Lightroom and printer Epson

    I suddenly have problems printing from Lightroom. I have Lightroom 1.4.1 installed on an iMac G5 and have an Epson Stylus R2400 Photo. I use this combination from the beginning without any problem. Now all of a sudden when I try to print I get an error message that says media is released or not loaded properly. Is the case. I tried to restart my computer, the printer, and all I can think about, but nothing works. I can print from other applications without problem, so I guess it's a problem with Lightroom.

    Someone knows something similar? I was going to uninstall lightroom and do a reinstall, but I can't find my installation disk. Now I am at a loss to figure out what to do.

    Thank you

    Craig

    Try to remove your file and/or print templates.

    Lightroom is unique in many other programs that it saves and restores the settings of the printer. Some bad data may have tried to be passes. Could contribute to a 'new beginning '.

  • HP Officejet 6500 has: scan problem with Officejet

Doctor says problems fixed (does not say there) but the printer still says: "the connection to the computer has been lost or the HP scanning application cannot detect the OCR software. I need to look for work and cannot afford the time to connect to the print doctor whenever I want to scan.

    To smlltwntheory: the error is because you always try to use the HP Scan Pro. The previous HP queries that you had on Leopard are not compatible on 10.6. In fact, you want to run Uninstall HP (Applications - HP - HP Uninstaller) and rthen restart your Mac to clear it. From here your drivers are integrated in the operating system itself.

    Details can be found here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=219&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=3560280
