• Used to scan HP photosmart C4280

  Hello

  I hope someone can help me,

  I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and since then, I tried to use my HP photosmart c4280 to analyze my work.

  I keep getting messages ranging from "scan cannot be initialized" "unknown error" "no scanner not found" etc. Everything worked fine until I upgraded my mac, and since then I downloaded and upgraded my hp, the latest drivers software, etc. and still nothing. I tried scanning through different programs - photoshop, preview, directly from a scanner, etc. and nothing. I have reset my printers on the system prefferences, I uninstalled and reinstalled the software and I tried everything on the forums here and still nothing.

  I really don't want to pay for an another printer/scanner when this one is very good and works perfectly well. All other functions work too.

  Help, please!

  Thank you

  If you are using Snow Leopard or Lion and you have the HP software before Snow Leopard (either from a CD that is not marked as compatible with the 10.6/10.7 or you recently upgraded to Snow Leopard or Lion and had the software HP on your Mac before you upgrade - even if you made a standard from the old software uninstaller or installed new software on top of it) , you must uninstall the software by using the "scrubber":

  Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard / click Uninstall HP
  Click on continue
  Highlight your device in the left pane
  Press and hold Ctrl + Alt + Cmd keys on the keyboard at the same time as you click on uninstall< this="" is="" the="" scrubber="" option,="" there="" is="" no="" button="" labeled="">
  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)
  Click on continue and let it finish

  Restart your Mac

  Download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907

  Now reset the printing system:

  -Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
  -Right (control) click inside the box that lists your printers and select Reset Printing System.
  WARNING - This will remove ALL your printers!

  Finally, download and install the latest software for your printer from the "Support & drivers" link at the top of this page.

• Problems scanning with Photosmart 5510 on Yosemite Mac (OS 10.10)

  I recently spent a MacBook Pro to a MacBook Air Yosemite running. My printer/scanner was perfectly compatible with the old machine, but nothing else that headache has provided on the new.

  The printer actually works OK but the scanner consumed enormous amounts of time to fix it and still does not work.

  I have installed and reinstalled the driver current time more than I can count. Sometimes the HP utility freezes and has to be restarted. Sometimes it just hangs. Sometimes, I have a screen similar to the one below showing that it has connected to the scanner and activated, but when I go to scan, I absolutely zilch.

  Please help me solve this problem. I've posted about it a number of times, sent tech support several times and I wrote to the head of the tech group. I got response ZERO in five days and am almost ready to ban all products HP to my office to go always.

  

  Hi there @HVDesigner , welcome in the community

  I hope to be useful for the problems of scanning that you face with your new MacBook Air, Yosemite running. Before attempting any software troubleshooting more, I will suggest checking the material, reset the printer and the network (if you are connected).

  1 reset the printer, and then make sure that the printer is plugged directly into the wall, avoiding bars power and surge protectors. This ensures that the printer is full on and can help analyze. I was witness to a direct connection, only this type of fixing problem.

  Press the power button to turn the product on.
  With the product, unplug the power cord from the back of the product.
  Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
  Wait at least 15 seconds.
  Plug the power cord into the wall outlet.
  Reconnect the power cord to the back of the product.
  If the product does not light by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.

  2. try power cycling network devices:
  Turn off the printer and the computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press the buttons on the router).
  Plug the router back in and wait another minute, turn on the printer and the computer.

  3. a copy to make sure that the printer is in good working condition to continue software troubleshooting.

  4. If copies of work without a problem, try the following steps in order:

  1. Mac OS X: how to reset the printing system
  2. Repair disk permissions
  3. Restart the Mac.
  4. Download and install the complete driver here: printer e-all-in-one HP Photosmart 5510d printer B111h/B111j full feature software and drivers
  5. In addition, to download this driver: HP v3.0 for OS X printer drivers

  5. try scanning with scans and software scanning HP should work now!

  If by chance the scans do not work, please, give us a call.

• How can I connect my xbox 360 controller to my iMac (last updated: mountain lion)? I bought star wars force unleashed on AppStore and it said only 360 controller can be used then, how can I connect to my mac? I have the wire on the load control

  I bought star wars power of the force on the apple app store. It says that i can use the controller to xbox 360 to play other than keyboards. now how to connect the controller 360 for mac? I have the charger cable to connect to the controller that has a usb key that I have connected to my iMac (desktop), but this isn't like the ps3 where he worked. Help, please! I have the latest version of the update of the iMac, which I believe is the mountain lion

  Not sure if this will help. Here and all over the web search will show that you mixed results.

  Try this download. I have a new Macbook Pro El Capitan 10.11.3 running. Just installed this to use my old Xbox 360 wired controllers USB to play Lego games. Despite the mixed reviews, this seems to have worked perfectly and actually gives you an ability to customize the controller.

  Al https://github.com/360Controller/360Controller/releases/tag/v0.15_beta5_unoffici

  NOTES:

  (1) it is Beta version 5; newer than all the other versions of this utility I saw reviewed about the feature. You may need a different version because your version of iOS, but I'm not an expert here.

  (2) once installed and the computer restarts, you will find the utility as a new icon in the system preferences (the gear in your dock icon, probably), not applications, utilities, etc.

• I changed my apple on my macbook pro, now I can't connect my mini mac ID. Any ideas anyone?

  Hi people,

  seems that I myself lost in the ICloud/Apple ID implemented the system here. I changed my Apple on my Macbook Pro (mid-2014 running El Capitan 10.11.5) ID and now can't log in to my Mac mini. The new password set up on the Macbook Pro is not recognized on the Mini and I can't seem to login screen to study. Anyone have any ideas?

  Have you tried the old password on the Mini?

  I've never used an iCloud password to connect to my Mac as he seemed always destined to fail. It seems also Apple removed this possibility, but this does not affect those who made possible it. If you manage to get back in and somehow change the password, you cannot use the password to iCloud.

  I don't know if this will help, but you can reset the password to a different admin login, if you have a.

  Otherwise, start in Recovery.

  From the Utilities menu, choose Terminal.

  Type the following command and press return

  ResetPassword

  A utility opens when you select the hard disk and a user account, and then reset the password.

  Quit the utility, and then restart when finished.

  This will not change your Keychain password. You should try the old password or reset the keychain, thus losing all of your passwords.

  I don't know how an iCloud password affects the connection ring, however.

• Why hp disables the use of scanning and faxing because of the low level of ink on my photosmart c4385?

  Why hp disables the use of scanning and faxing because of the low level of ink? Printer says print cartridge missing or not detected. Doesn't make sense to me because the ink has absolutely nothing to do with the other functions. Since I bought this all in one I replace ink twice and I only printed about 10 pieces of paper for nine, making these extremely expensive 10 sheets!

  try reseating the cartridges once more & switch off the printer and remove power & other cables connected to the printer & press & hold the power for 20 seconds & then reconnect all cables back & then turn on the pritner & try to use that will solve the problem...

• Photosmart B209a can you overried printer function? use the scan only?

  I have the Photosmart Plus B209a model installed print head is not intended for this printer, or is damaged. Refer to the Doc of the printer. Now, I have done this and cleaned ect. So, assuming that is damaged. I called to get this part and OMG! I might as well buy a new one! $85.00 and I did. My question is can I substitute the information of the printer and use the scan function again?   Thanks for any help!  Michael

  Unfortunately, you can not.  If the printer is in an error state, it locks you out of all the other functions of the printer.  I'm sorry.

• How to use windows scan with the new canon printer is connected and the copy and printing, but can't seem to be able to use the technique of scan windows

  How to use windows scan with my new canon MX 922 printer.  It is conncected and copying and printing but can't seem to use the windows scan option, the cannon that which for me is slow thanks

  All in one, type printers (print, copy, scan) usually have a very specific set of instructions during the installation.  If not followed exactly the probability is that the scanner will not work.

  Canon: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer

  Download and read the Setup instructions for your model, have you followed the instructions exactly, more precisely when to connect the printer / scanner during installation of the software process?

  I plugged a usb cable and I was able to use the WIA import feature and

  the menu of the controller,

  He gave me the opportunity to select the printer and scan using the automaton

  function.

  When I removed the cable, it would not recognize the printer scanner in the

  Wireless mode.

  I tried to restart the system, no luck.

  In fact, when the cable is removed, the function to automate is

  "grayed out" which would explain why it cannot find the scanner.

  Any ideas?

• Scanning HP PhotoSmart C410 gels

  Printer: The PhotoSmart C410a connected via a USB cable.

  Computer: Windows 7 Professional 32-bit

  Scanning of a connected to the printer - USB flash drive it works fine.

  Scan from printer to computer - HP scanning software opens but freezes in shortly after the scanning procedure. (only the first inch or so of the page scanned).  Analysis used to work perfectly well and nothing new has been installed on the computer and no new hardware.

  Measures taken so far:

  (1) software uninstalled and reinstalled with the CD.

  (2) software uninstalled again and also connected by the uninstall_L3 HP batch file uninstall_L1. Reboot between each step.

  (3) reinstall the software, connect the printer when prompted.

  (4) connected to the USB port on the computer.

  (5) called HP technical support. They spent an hour and then told to call Dell as was a driver WIA problem.

  (6) HP Ran Scan Diags.  Successful DIAGS connectivity tests, devices and Solution Center Manager. Test driver, Windows (WIA) Scan and Scanner Twain failed.

  (7) the end-user will try a new USB cable.

  Tried to download the latest full driver of HP features.  Who will be the next, but it is doubtful that he can solve the problem.

  The other cable USB there a difference?

  If not, what is the error message that is displayed? And the message on the printer or the computer?

• Multi-page scanning with Photosmart 3150 and Mavericks

  I recently updated my OS from Mac to the Mavericks (OS 10.9.1).  Before this upgrade, my Photosmart C3150 printed and scanned exactly as I wanted.  I could scan a multiple page document and save it as a .pdf file successfully.

  Now, when I scan a document of several page and try to save it in .pdf file, I get an error message that says: "an error occurred registering the file because it could not be written in.  Check the properties of the file to ensure that it is not dead. »

  I don't have this problem if my digital file is a single page .pdf.  I tried to use the send to preview or send to the office, and the same problem occurs.  Sometimes when I try this, the HP Scan, the application hangs and I have to use Force Quit to close (but not every time).

  Really can't wait for scan documents several pages in individual files, one page.  Any other suggestions on how to overcome this problem?

  HI RESJR,

  Happy new year

  You can open the analysis option in system preferences and analyze the many elements from there rather than using HP scanning.

  1. Place the item you want to scan on the scanner glass, or load in the ADF (ADF) documents, if your printer has one.

• Scanning: Unable to connect error Web Services

  My specific error is not listed:
  Server connection error: unable to connect to Web Services. Confirm access to the Internet, and then try again.
  This error keeps popping up when I try to scan a document from the printer to the PC, even though I'm connected wireless to the internet and you can print wireless from all devices. I use this scan function every day, and this error occur every two weeks. Cannot find how to fix it. Have tried rebooting with no luck.

  Thanks - we actually ended up contacting HP because I needed to operate as soon as POSSIBLE for my business. They we had to do something similar to what you suggested and I saved your instructions if we receive this error in the future. Thank you for coming back with me!

• Photosmart C-4440: problem of scanning HP photosmart C-4440

  Thanks in advance for the help. I have a Dell Dimension 4600i computer of Windows XP that I try to use with a printer HP Photosmart of A-I-O c-4440. (I have also a Windows 10 other home before someone is tempted to tell me just to get a new rig.) The 4600i and the photosmart otherwise work fine.)

  Ok. Down to the problem. After I installed the C-440 first and tried to scan I got the 1706 error code: "error 1706. No source valid cvould lies in the analysis of the product. Windows Installer cannot continue." (Try to use the scan key tells me to scan using my computer).

  So I tried a few solutions, online HP scan.msi file download and it would not install on my computer. Tried to do it from the disc (help to explore). Double click on scan.msi and has not worked. A box will open on my computer for about 1/4 of a second.

  So I thought that I would try to create a path for scan.msi. Went to C:\program files and created a folder I named scan and drag a copy of scan.msi inside (I copied the HP installation disk).

  Then I stopped doing 1706 and started getting the error code 1311: ' file not found Source: C:\Program Files\HP\Scan\Scan.cab.» Ensure that the fike exists and that you can access.

  Now here's the weird part. If I retry about 5 times to scan after 1311 error, then try to cancel about 5 times, all of a sudden the printer starts the search and I get a page that gives this file options (pdf is already highlighted) and I can click Scan, then click OK and my document is scanned and I have a copy on my PC.

  That HP has finally a fire that fix for this problem? Is the problem of my PC? Thank you.

  Dear rb011,

  We have solved the problem.   Working from the support document link that you gave me I've found a partial success with option #2.  At first, it didn't work because I got a message, something like "the feature you are trying to use is on a network" when I tried to scan.

  So I went on my C: drive and under HP in Program Files and I created a new folder that I named "Scan."  I then went to the hpdisk file that I created and I copied all files scan.cab and scan.msi (found in the setup in a business case).  What I pasted in 'My' folder "Scan".

  Now, I can scan without error messages.  My computer takes some time to "think" before scanning begins (the Green must bar go left right several times while he is "recovering information").  But I'll take that vs error messages.

  Intersting that the installation process has not created a folder to scan on my computer.

  Thanks for your help.

• Scanner (Officejet 7500) cannot find the computer when you use shortcuts scan to printer

  When you choose Scan to PDF, e-mail, etc., by using the scanning on the 7500 buttons it allows me to select the computer on the network (each with all of the latest drivers and software loaded). However when about to the scanner and then says the computer is not found (whatever the) despite them being on and ready. Scanning by any other method of the Mac works. Automator shortcuts work very well during the tests, but they do not seem to get initiated by the scanner for scanning form of initiation of the printer itself.

  Research on the support site HP and conclusion - a 'connection error' or "Computer no. detected" Error Message displays when trying to Scan from the printer control panel - as a subject gives PC solutions, but nothing for Mac. And so here I am. Help!

  JKB

  The next thing to check is that "HP Device Monitor" is running.  This background process is responsible for detecting the keys for scanning applications.  If you open the activity monitor (located in/Applications/Utilities) you should see this class as one of the running processes.

  It may be generally preferable for you to perform an uninstall and reinstall the HP software.  You will find in Applications/Hewlett-Packard HP Uninstaller.  Use this utility to remove the old software.  I recommend that you download and install the latest version of the software for your 7500 here: http://tinyurl.com/4voly2d.

  Hope this helps,

• After mac os update and software reinstall now unable to use the scan function

  Hello

  I never thought I had to post on one of them, but it really made me. I have a Macbook and stupidly thought that I would update to the mavericks os 10.9 the other day.

  I continued to be able to print once the update, but it was impossible to use the scan function. So, I removed the printer and the drivers and downloaded the new drivers which would have been compatible with os x 10.9. When I went to reinstall the printer, he couldn't locate it on the list of "available printers" - I connect using wi - fi connection at home.

  The only way I could connect the printer was installed manually by entering the ip address. It was found and I print now, so I don't think there is nothing wrong with the connectivity, but a warning when you do this that says scan function does not work, and of course the scan option is simply not there.

  Thought I have would bypass this using analysis of e-mail on the printer. It seemed to work fine, but when I received the email there was no attachment.

  My husband is now scanning these documents to his computer (a pc) and emailing for me - is not ideal.

  Any ideas on how I can fix this?

  Thank you

  Annie

  Hi Annie,.

  Here is a picture of a printer, USB cable,

  

  Now that I know what printer we work with, I have another idea. On the front screen of the printer please press the wireless icon. There are 4 icons in the upper part, the wireless is the second from the left. In the Menu arrow until settings wireless advanced. I would like to disable IPV6, arrow down to IPV6, and then select OFF.

  I saw the IPV6 interferes with the Hello Protocol several times, often time turning off this feature will solve the problem and allow the Mac to see the printer on the network. Once IPV6 is disabled try to add the printer again.

  Please let me know if this solves the problem, I am eager to see this solved and you get printing and scanning of your own computer.
