Win7 and PSC500 - no scan function

I have a new computer with Win7 and my old PSC500 still works fine.

I can print via the parallel port (via MB PCI not) to the PSC500 but can't scan.   Win7 can not find any scanner.

My old computer with XP still works fine with the PSC500 - print them out and scan, but not Win7.

What is a Win7 issue or a driver PSC500 problem?

OK I solved this problem.  in WIN7, I used VMware and created a virtual XP machine.  This virtual XP computer can use the parallel port and scan to a fiolder shared to be used by the computer to Win7.

Win7 XP mode did not work, because it does NOT recognize the LPT port.

I think it's a problem with Win7.

  • 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.

  • Photosmart 7520: Prints but won't scan Photosmart 7520 Win7 and Win10

    Very well printing - scanning fails in both directions, of PC to the printer and the printer to the PC.

    No form of works-y PC using the HP device Page or print and Scan doctor.  All two see the printer but when they try to connect give the message error «scanner communication can not be establshed...» »

    If you go to the printer itself and try a "Scan to PC" the printer sees name of the PC, but when you click Scan an error message comes up saying "no computer connected.

    Having exhausted all the recommended solutions: uninstall and reinstall the drivers. Run Selective startup without any service has been activated; Print and Scan Doctor (tells me that there is a problem of TWAIN, but even then gives error "can' communications Scanner...", even after the PC reboot and repeat the doctor P & s); restart the router method.

    The only method of scanning that work which means the network is scanning to E-mail.

    Any ideas?

    Hey @grunte1,

    Welcome to the HP Support forums!

    I see that you encounter some problems with the scanning of your 7520 Photosmart e-all-in-one printer to your PC for Windows 10 and that the printing and scanning doctor detects a problem with your TWAIN drivers. As TWAIN drivers refer to a component of the operating system, the only things I can suggest are updates or perform a system restore. In addition, I suggest contacting the one who sold you the PC or the Microsoft.

    If you have any other questions please let me know. If not, have a great day!

  • Strange behavior with Scan function

    Hi, I see some weird behaviors with the scan function.  Here's a code (for Interactive execution) window which illustrates what I'm struggling with:

    #include 
    static double value;//    1234567890123456static char buffer[20] = "-  24.612 g    ?";
    static int scanneditems;
    static unsigned char sign, stable;
    static char unit[6];
    
    scanneditems = Scan(buffer, "%s>%c[u]%f%c[d]%s[w5y]%c[u]", &sign, &value, unit, &stable);
    

    The buffer I'm scanning has five parts.  The first character is a sign, the next 8 characters is a floating point number, then there is a space that just throw, then five characters is a string that describes the unit, and the last character is a question mark if the reading is unstable or a space otherwise.  The problem is with the last character.  When I run the above code, the value of the variable 'stable' is 32 (space), when I expect a 63 (question mark).  The other points seem to parse correctly, including the double value and the 'unit' char array that contains [g] [space] [space] [space] [space], which is exactly what I expect that it contains.

    It seems I'm missing something obvious, probably something to do with the way that the scan function manages the spaces, but I just can't understand what it is.  Thank you.

    I'm not sure about how Scan treats spaces, but if you check NumFmtdBytes () after the scan you see 12, which means that it has scanned only the 'g' (fill the rest of 'unit' with spaces according to the modifier there) and read the character immediately following the stability.

    This line correctly reads the entire string and returns bytes 16 analyses by the function, which is what is expected.

    scanneditems = Scan (buffer, "%s > %c [u] %f %c [d] %s [-w5t] [u] %c", & sign, & value, unit, & stable);

    Hello

    In fact, no full support for Windows 7, Vista even. The last update was Aug 12th, 2009 or for XP just over 5 years ago. :

    Microsoft gives only a generic driver that allows the printer to do the basic function: Print.

    Hello

    I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. I will certainly help the question of fixing.

    I would be grateful if you could answer the following questions:

    1. Since when are you facing the issue?

    2. you have any anti-virus installed on the computer program?

    3 are you aware of any changes made to the computer before the show?

    I would say you runa full scan using the Microsoft Safety Scanner and look for any infections.

    Note: there is a risk of data loss if all the files are infected and which can be removed in the cleaning process.

    If the problem persists, you can start the computer in safe mode and perform a clean boot. Clean boot helps eliminate any conflict of third party software.

    Note: when you are finished troubleshooting, follow step 3, mentioned in the article to start the computer to a normal startup.

    Hope this helps and let us know if you need more assistance. We will be happy to help you.

  • HP Officejet 6500 a E710 scan function does not

    The HPHNDU sees the printer and test printing is successful. The HPSDU does not see the scanner.

    I already downloaded and reinstalled the software. Should I try again, who or what

    Enrico,

    The utility SDU identified that the scan Windows (WIA) must be deunstalled and reinstalled. I had already done yesterday without a positive result.

    I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer. Once more the scan function has stopped working at about 80% completed. I disabled Trend Titanium Internet Security and then worked the scan. So I "degenerate" the problem to technical support of Trend.

    Thanks a lot for you input.

  • HP Envy 100: Scan function no longer works on my printer

Don't know exactly what corretced it if it took time for the steps previously mentioned to kick but I also tried to use the wi - fi protected installation set-up that exists on the printer and somewhere between all these steps, the connection between the pC and the printer has been restored.

    My very kind thank you for your efforts. I click the congratulations and accept it as a solution.

  • How can I recover my favorites after having reinstalled Win7 and Firefox?

    I had to reinstall Win7 and Firefox and now need to find my bookmarks file and put it back in Firefox. What is called, and where is it located?

    These backup files are compressed and not human readable. You can use it to completely replace your current set of bookmarks using the rollback feature (see beyond the dates at the bottom of the menu "Choose file...).

    Important: A restore completely replaces your current set of bookmarks. If you have saved any new bookmarks you need, add a few steps:

    (1) export current bookmarks to a file as HTML: Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file for backup or transfer bookmarks
    (2) then do the restore
    (3) import this file in HTML format: import bookmarks to an HTML file
    (4) move the Bookmarks imported into their correct locations (they should be a folder of bookmarks imported somewhere on the menu bookmarks or Unsorted bookmarks)

    Hello. I got the Tecra R850-520 4 months. from the beginning, I have the same problem - noisy fan but no load cpu (about 2-4%) using win7 and win8 64bits

    I tried to change the windows profile to optimize or energy saving. but I still get the fan noise. Set the bios to 3.90. I have re-checked windows 8. and always the pleasure is strong. When no cpu is used.

    I think that it is a measure of temperature sensors. When I flip the laptop, and the plates are "we air ', not touched by any material - the fan will slow down in a few minutes.

    Hello

    You can set Windows Power plan settings in order to improve the cooling system.


    Changes in the operating system:
    --> Power Options control panel--> change the parameters of plan--> change power avancΘs--> TOSHIBA Power Saver Settings--> cooling method

    Changes in the Bios (power management):
    Intel Turbo boost Technology

    Changes in the operating system:
    TOSHIBA HW Setup--> the CPU frequency mode

    Try this settings:
    Plan (Toshiba power save) optimised battery
    Technology Intel Turbo Boost (BIOS) - disable
    The CPU always low frequency

    From my experience, this should reduce the noise.
