OK, time to get aggressive. We will manually remove HP components and then reinstall. I hope that you still have the driver download you got on the Apple site that we need this a little. For some of the following steps, you will need to enter your password when you are prompted.

Actually before we start, if you'd be willing to collect a little more for me I would really appreciate it.  What we are about to try is a treatment for the symptoms without fully understanding the root cause.  You have been very helpful with the information you have provided so far.  Thank you!

Issues related to the:

* Are there frameworks HP installed in your folder/Library/Frameworks?  More precisely is it a copy of HPSmartX to this place?

* What are the permissions on/Library/Printers/hp and/Library/Printers/hp files?  (Select a folder and then press command-i to bring up the information window.  Sharing and permissions are at the bottom of the window).  I expect to see something like: System: reading writing & admin: read & write, everyone: read-only.

Steps to follow:

(a) open system preferences-> Print & Fax. Remove your printer from the printer list.

(b) navigate to/Library/printers. Delete the folder "hp".

(c) navigate to/Library/Image/Capture devices. Delete "HPScanner".

(d) access to Library/Image Capture/Support. 'Delete the Hewlett-Packard folder.

(e) go to Support the application. Folder "remove the Hewlett - Packard".

(f) launch (in/Applications/Utilities) Apple disk utility and repair permissions on your hard disk.

(g) turn off your 6500

(h) restart your Mac.

(i) turn on your 6500

(j) use the Apple Installer to install HP printer drivers.

(k) open system preferences-> Print & Fax. Add a device to the list of printers.

(l) cross your fingers, Open Image Capture and try to analyse.

Please report the results.

  • OfficeJet 6500 not scan with Mac OS 10.6

    My new Officejet 6500 prints fine from my Mac, either through wired connections and wireless, but I can't scan at all. Where should I look and what I should try? The printer is not even appear on my Mac, except via the menu of the printer in different aps. I'm a new Mac user, recently conversion from a PC, which I'm sure that helps. I'm not a geek, then please use the very simple and basic terms.

    Can I return the 6500 to the store for a refund until Monday (7/5), and if I can't get things to work until then, well, that's what I'll do.

    Thank you!

    We will restore the print system:

    -Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
    -Right (Ctrl) click the box of the print queue and select Reset Printing System. WARNING - This will remove ALL your printers!
    -Select the sign + to add again. Search for the printer, select it, and wait until the button 'Add' becomes available. Until it clicks.

    If that doesn't work, tell me where you got the HP software for your printer.

  • HP Officejet 6500 has: scan problem with Officejet

    HP Officejet 6500 not scan unless the doctor feel is connected. 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. Reloaded printing software and downloaded and saved IRIS OCR software but the scanner still does not work. I scanned on the same computer without any problems for the last year and have not changed anything. Printer works still well connected to the same computer. Any ideas? Thank you!

  • J6450 will not scan since the upgrade to snow leopard

    My J6450 will not scan since the upgrade to snow leopard. I can print fine but when I try and scan is says sorry, scanner could not be initialized (Scanner not found.)

    You scan the front of the unit?  The software included in Sl does not support that.  Also note the HP Scan Pro included in the 10.5 software will not work with 10.6.  The 10.5 software and delete the print queue.  Make sure your 10.6 is update 10.6.1 and go here to download and install the HP software for 10.6 and Setup for your J6540.  You should be able to scan after that.

    After upgrading to Snow Leopard 10.6.5 most of the files will not open in CS3 and more menu items are gray,

    like "Photoshop" and "quit Photoshop. I have to force it to quit. Don't know what version of CS3 since 'about this Mac' is not available.

    But CS3 runs in mode of "Rosetta". I had done this years ago, my scanner would work.

  • HP OfficeJet 8600 Premium: Scanning to the desktop

    Hello

    I use the HP OfficeJEt 8600 Premium and I would add three computers to the scan function, so when I scan a document, I can choose the computer I would like to than the scan-to-file.

    I would like to know how to configure the folder so that it scans a folder on the desktop, titled 'Scans' against the 'Document' default folder.

    Today, I spent a few hours playing with it, following the instructions on the forum and further research on google. I could program to scan to computer 1.

    I then changed the name of the computer, somewhere in the HP Scan Utility preferences... then on the touch screen of the printer performs, under scan > not scan to computer, NO computer has appeared.

    I would like if anyone can break it down for me. How can I program it to allow all 3 computers connected wirelessly, to receive scans to their individual workstations. ALL 3 are Mac.

    SECOND-

    I want to program this tray 1 can be white paper and tray 2, letterhead. Have not spent time on it yet, but would love if anyone knows.

    Thank you

    Hi @cass321,

    I can certainly help you to scan to your computer and edit your destination folder. I understand that you do not want you can scan all 3 of your computers when you scan from the front panel of the printer. Please take a look on the following document, you can find frequently asked questions particularly useful: HP Officejet Pro 8600 Series printer - scanner to a computer, email, memory device, or network folder.

    What about using it the 2nd test paper for paper replacement types, please take a look on the following document, I suspect it will answer questions you might have: HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-all-in-one printer series (N911) - setting up the printer to print and copy of tray 1 and tray 2.

    Please let me know if you have any other questions. I'd be happy to offer further assistance, thank you.

  • Printer not scan on the new computer with Windows 7

    I've recently upgraded to a new computer that has Windows 7 (hp elitebook 8470p). I installed the all-in-one printer to work via a wireless router - the printer is an Officejet 7210. Everything works well except for the scanner. I get an error message saying that the selected scanner is not found (trying to analyse my Adobe Acrobat software). When I open the hp Solution Center, it says my device is not over and I have to insert the CD. However, I downloaded the driver of Windows 7 over the internet, so there is no CD.

    Any advice?

    Hi AnnLD,

    Have you tried to uninstall the software from the printer via the Windows Control Panel, then reinstall it again? If you have, I would say that it looks like the installation of the software is maybe damaged. I recommend "rubbing" the software current and 'nine '; To do this, follow the instructions below:

    1. click the Start button and type %temp% enforcement

    2. Locate and open the folder starting with 7z (example: 7zS2356)

    3 open the Util folder

    4 open the CCC folder

    5. run the L3uninstall.bat

    6. once the uninstall is complete, restart the computer

    7. perform cleaning disc of accessories-system tools

    8. download and install the latest version of Adobe flash player

    http://get.Adobe.com/flashplayer/

    9 download full feature software and drivers (again) from the link below

    10. run the download to reinstall the printer
