Start scanning from the computer?

I have a hp photosmart C5550, when I try to scan to start the scan of the computer says, how can I do?

Antal Hello

That article and the instructions are for a different printer and software. You should see 'Manage Scan to Computer' under the 'Actions of Scaner. If you get an error or messages let me know. I noticed you did another post where you mention Windows 7 which is your operating system?

  • Scan from the computer, not the Printer Wizard

    I reinstalled the drivers for full features. I can't use the printer to scan to my office, I am only able to use the Printer Wizard. I was able to scan like this before and for some reason any during the last six months, I can't do it from the printer. It's annoying not to have two options.

    Hi @AnneO57,

    Thanks for the reply. I understand that it will be a lot of time. I don't think that the printer is the cause. To test the feature, you are able to make a copy? If so, the problem is corruption in the computer as a suspect. If all else fails, you should be able to go back using the HP9800 driver for printing.

    Use this message as a guideline:

    One of my clients has an officejet 7612 and has improved to win 10 to win 8 and lost the "Scan to PC" features themselves the printer he used for years to create his PDF files.

    Print and scan drivers seem to work to scan and print from the computer to the printer, but the printer software that was authorized to create PDF and JPEG of the scanner and send them to the computer doesn't seem to work.

    Is there any solution for this?

    Y at - it another way easy to make PDF files or is this feature lost with the upgrade?

  • Model D110a - why do solid when black pages copying or scanning. Printing from the computer works.

    Printer all-in-one Photosmart D110A. Printer works OK to computer when printing black and white or in color. But when using the scan or copy feature the printer does a solid black page. This just started recently. If I try to scan a document from the computer, the analysis that results is black Uni. I guess that it is a hardware problem. If this is correct, how can I get it fixed. Who should I call at HP for parts? Can I fix it myself or the printer fatally broken and that I should buy a new printer?

    Thank you for all that help you can provide.

    It sounds like the scanner lamp turns off.  You can't really repair or replace just the scanner lamp.  The way to resolve this would be to replace the entire printer.  Check your warranty here.  If the warranty is still good, you can join the 1-800-474-6836 technical support in the United States and in Canada, international users click here.

  • Win 7 x 64-OfficeJet 7500 a - Scan of the computer disappeared from the HP utility

    I noticed recently that the Scan of the computer, as well as the other options are passed from the HP utility screen.  The screen was black with options of 10 or more.  Now it's gray with only 4 options.  I uninstalled, reinstalled and restarted my computer and it won't.

    I have two 7500 s in office and both do the same thing on several machines Win 7 64.  It used to work perfectly.

    Anyone know what's happened and how to recover all the features?

  • I have can´t scan in Officejet 6700. Printing from the computer works perfectly.

    I have a new 6700 Officejet connected with the USB cable to the computer. (Windows XP) Printing from the computer works perfectly. Sannen works onl + y from time to time. When the attempt at analysis, he says that there is no connection between the scanner and the computer. I changed the USB cable to exclude damage to the cables. I tried all the help files for HP without result. Who please can tell me what is happening

    I think I know where banhien is trying to guide you. I'll explain his instructions in more detail below.

    1. make sure you are on the desktop view.
    2. double-click on the icon on your desktop that resembles your printer.
    3. under the section titled scan, you should see "Manage Scan to Computer".
    4. click on "Manage the Scan to Computer" and a window that's going to Enable.
    5. click on activate to activate computer scanning.

    If the icon is not on the desktop, or does not work, you may uninstall and reinstall the printer. If you need to do this, be sure to use the latest version of the software following the link. Hope this helps to clear things up a bit.

    Hi Redbaron666,

    Have you checked if the game works the clean boot?

    I see that Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 is not compatible with Windows 7 which could be the cause of this problem:

  • Not able to scan from the printer to my computer control panel using the HP Photosmart 5510

    Hello

    I recently bought the new HP Photosmart 5510 all in one - and I am not able to scan from my printer to my computer.

    I am however able to scan by launching the scan of the computer. I talked to HP customer earlier this evening and we ran printing + scan doctor and can't find any problems.

    I am running Windows 7-64 bit and that you have installed my wireless printer using the Installation CD supplied with the printer today.

    I could not finish troubleshooting with the technician that I talked to because I had to go to work. The person that I spoke with proposed possibly the full functionality of software downloaded from the hp.com site, which I'm happy to do, but I think that it is useless, because I have the CD of installation here. (The rep that I talked to was very nice, but I prefer not to have to uninstall and reinstall if it is not necessary)

    Because as I mentioned above, everything works perfectly and I am able to scan - but not directly from the printer itself.

    When I try to scan from my printer to my computer an error message appears on the control panel of the printer indicating that: there is no scan destination options of analysis chosen / no..

    However, I can't find anywhere with my HP software where I could add / make sure that the destinations were there. (As I could on my other printers. (IE. By the solution Center)

    This printer does not appear to be a solution center that I could find and the scanner installed with the CD icon doesn't give me any options regarding changing the settings of the parser

    I wonder:

    1. the Hp Photosmart 5510 does not have the capacity to scan from the printer control panel?

    2 OR the CD installation provided with my printer only has the base drivers as the agent of tech support suggested? Which means to scan from my printer I need to download drivers for your hp Web site?

    3. or is the problem because of something else entirely?

    Thanks for your help!

    HI Dublin,

    Follow the steps below to uninstall and reinstall the printer.

    1. open Control Panel

    2. click on uninstall a program

    3 uninstall the Photosmart 6510 in the list

    4 restart your computer

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

    6 download the drivers and full software functionality, and then reinstall the printer.

    Hi, Rolland,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft community. I might help you.

    To better understand the issue, I would need more information on your side.

    1. What is the brand and model of the scanner?

    2. Do you get any error messages? If Yes, what is the full error message?

    This problem might have occurred because of these reasons:

    1. Corrupted driver.

    2. Hardware problem.

    Method 1:
    I suggest you to run hardware store and check if it helps.

    (a) press the Windows keyboard.

    (b) Troubleshooting type in the search box and press enter.
    (c) click on material and audio.

    (d) click on hardware and devices and follow the on-screen instructions.

    Method 2:
    If the problem persists, I suggest you to download and install the latest scanner driver\software on the manufacturer's Web site.

    Hope this information helps. Reply to the post with an up-to-date report of the issue so that we can help you more.
