3050A scan to computer not working, everything else is fine? what do I do?

hp 3050a, windows 7
everything works fine but scan to computer is not finding the printer. the eprint light is on. this is an initial setup, nothing changed that has caused it to stop functioning, it never did.

Try the steps on this post below. It appears as though you have to use HP 'Update IP address' program to add printer instead use window add printer.

Finder not working / Everything else is fine

My desktop is empty, except for the spinning beachball; ForceQuit shows Finder as "not responding." The Dock and all other programs are working fine.
I know what caused the problem: I inadvertently flooded my desktop by saving thousands of files onto it -- from Quicktime I chose "Save as JPG Sequence" for exporting a 5 minute video clip (I'm trying to export a Flash animation in a state that will load onto YouTube, and have been trying everything! Had no idea this option was going to create thousands of separate files).
So anyway, I need to delete these thousands of files from my desktop, and then (I hope) everything will be fine. Thing is, I don't know how to get at them to delete them. There's got to be an easy way...I can see the files when I go into other programs and choose "Open" and navigate to the desktop.
Advice please. Thanks!

I was excited to see this response because it sounded like the solution I needed. But it didn't work. We're running 10.4.11. My husband tried to copy more than several hundred jpg files to the finder by accident. When he realized what was happening, he canceled the action (he THINKS he canceled it before 150 files could have been copied, but he can't be sure). Now his hard disk icon does not appear on the desktop, though it does appear in a strange new window (along with a Network icon). He CAN access files and applications, and even run several applications, but can't get the hard disk back on the desktop.
I followed the instructions referred to here, but when I ran the script, I got this error message:
mv: rename (Users/usersname/Desktop/*.jpg to /Users/usersname/Desktop/DesktopItems/*.jpg: No such file or directory. (I've replaced his name with "username" in the above.) A DesktopItems folder did get created on the desktop, but it's empty.
Other things I've tried: Starting up from the installation disk and running Disk Utility to repair permissions and Repair disk (it needed no repair) and reset the startup disk; reinstalling OS 10.4.6 and then upgrading to 10.4.11; used Onyx to verify the disk (it says it's okay).
One other weirdness has started -- his Logitech wireless keyboard seems to have loss some of its key mapping. The Alt (Command) key is acting like the Start (Option) key and vice versa. But this might not have anything to do with the big problem of a malfunctioning Finder.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Scan to computer not working

Using OS 10.9 and Photosmart 7520 all-in-one over a wireless connection.
Printing works but I can not scan.
Downloaded HP installation software and checked the scanning utility.
I enter printer utility on th mac and click on scan-to-computer.
Response comes back that it can not find the scan-to-computer software.
What have I done wrong?

Try scanning from your Mac. Use Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
Click once on the scanner on the left side, then click on Show Details along the bottom. Along the right side you will see LOTS of options for scanning and saving.

Flash sound not working - everything else is

I'd like to start out by mentioning that I realize there has probably been posts about this in the past, I know I've googled one. But the information didn't help, so I thought I'd start a thread about in hope that someone may be able to help.
This is off a new instilation of Arch Linux 64 bit, and as the Subject says I can't get sound from any flash video, etc from a webpage. Everything else works, amarok, videos off the drive, games, etc. I've tried reinstalling flash through pacman, didn't work. I tried installing flashsupport through pacman, didn't work. I tried the beta drivers of flash, didn't work.
Now, what I tried last night did work, so it seemed. I blacklisted oss, rebooted. I had then working flash, and I could play music from amarok at the same time. That was all I was able to test at that time. Only thing that I found odd was when I did that, I had lost the little tune that plays when you enter and exit KDE. It also notified me that one of my Audio devices had stopped working. Now, this morning, I logged in. Same no little tune, same notification from KDE that a device isn't working, actually two times it notified me. I then tried amarok. No sound. I tried flash, no sound. I went into the system settings, fooled around with the devices. The device that works was at the top of the list where it should be. I tested the sound, it worked there. I closed out of it, was trying sound again, nothing. I went back to the multimedia in system settings, now the sound won't work when I hit test. I look in the Kinfocenter under my sound, and my sound driver is ALSA like it should be, but under sections like MIDI device, and Mixers, it's coplaining about them not being enabled in config. Which I know before I blacklisted OSS, they where.
So, I did the only thing I could think of, and un-blacklist OSS, reboot. I come back in, and it's still complaining about a sound device not working, no intro sound. I go back to system setting -> multimedia, make sure my preferred device is at the top, test the sound. Ok working. I test amarok, working. Video, working. I log off, and back in. I got the intro sound, there was no notification that a sound device isn't working. Checked kinfocenter, everything seems to be there, my mixer is back and configured, etc. Everything is back to normal, except sound in flash. So I'm right back where I started, minus my confusion as to why when I un-blacklisted, and rebooted it was still giving me issues at first.
I've also read up about dmix, but it says that with ALSA 1.0.9rc2 and higher, it doesn't need to be enabled, since it already is automatically. Considering I have ALSA 1.0.21, I don't think that's the issue.
So, does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can try, or do to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Just wanted to thankyou for the link. From using the fuser -v /dev/snd/* /dev/dsp* command, I was able to do a couple days of research, the command told me flash was trying to use /dev/dsp, so I had to reinstall the alsa-oss package, that seemed to fix it for a while. But the next day it was back, I blacklisted oss again, and then the key here that I think really may have fixed it is that apparently under my modconfig file I had to make it load my soundcard first, it wasn't even in there. ALSA was trying to use my onboard soundcard, and my pci sound card. Alsamixer was using my onboard, but most everything else was using my normal card. I'm thinking that when flash was playing, it somehow decided to use my onboard instead. That's my thoughts anyways.

Scan to computer not working after installing wifi booster

working with windows 7 and hp 6515 - just installed a power booster and printer no longer finds computer when try to scan to computer

Hi @Eflyer,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that your scan to computer is no longer working after installing a wifi booster, with your HP Photosmart 6515, on Windows 7. I am happy to help you with this connection issue!
Please see the following:
This YouTube video on extending the wireless signal. Extending Wireless Network Range.
This scanning guide, A 'No computer found' Message Displays during Scanning.
Most likely it just needs to be reconnected to the proper network.
Hope these guides help, and have a good day!

Mail not working - everything else is working

I am unable to use iCloud mail either on my iPhone or on iCloud.com. My calendar and contacts are syning no problem - but mail won't open. I think it has something to do with the fact that when I first set it up I didn't choose a me.com e-mail address. I did that later after the account was setup - now the mail portion is not working. I have deleted the account from my iPhone - restarted my iPhone - same results.

SFJenn,
Thanks! I had been configuring and deleting and configuring again the account, and I just found that the "push mail" function is not allowed on my company Outlook/exchange server, and according to IT, there is nothing we can do.
Does any one knows if this is correct?

Time Machine Restore Interface not working (all else seems fine)

I needed to get into Time Machine the other day to restore a file I acccidentally deleted. I entered Time Machine to resore interface. The timeline on the right shows all the past backups but the I was not able to call on any of the backup dates and times. The two arrows to the bottom right of the screen did not allow me to sift through the windows either. I know that the Time Machine is working and creating backups, and when I go through Finder to the disk, all the backups are there. I was able to restoree the file I need using Finder and that was no big deal. But that still leaves non-working restore interface which is something of a nuisance. Does anyone have the same problem?
I am using MacPro 4.1 running OS X 10.9.3. My TM setup is to internal dedicated HD, RAID1 set up via disk utility. The disk size is 2TB and currently has about 1.6TB of data (400GB free).
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
Heidi

I feel exceptionally stupid.
The default window that appears on the restore interface was set to a particular folder from a drive that I do not backup on Time Machine. I was trying to go to the date that I wanted to restore from first instead of navigating to the file I needed to restore. Once I chose one of the drives/folders that I back up on Time Machine, all was fine. I wish Time Machine would make the distinction obvious by graying out excluded items right away (when you go back in time, that does happen but not in the 'present' screen).
Hope above helps in the future for those who may encounter the same problem before having had their first cup of morning coffee.
It is good to know that Time Machine is working as it should, and I count myself one of those fortunate ones who do not have to use Time Machine to restore files that often (hence this elementary question: file under "my computer's not working because I didn't check to see if it's plugged in before calling customer service").

My 3gs has stopped playing through the speakers and when the headphones are plugged in only plays through one ear? it still ring when called and everything else seems fine, whats the problem? it seems like the phone thinks the earphones are always in?

my 3gs has stopped playing music through the speakers, they play with headphones but only through one ear. It seems the phone thinks the headphones are in all the time. The ringer still works when called and i have cleaned the headphone socket the best i can without damaging the phone! Any ideas?

I had the same issue, 4s running ios8, but the plugging and unplugging the headphones did not work, BUT, when I tried plugging and unplugging from the DOCK, it started to work again. There must have been a short in the power plug, not the headphones. I also blew out the bottom power plug with computer safe airjet. Hope this one helps anyone else having the issue.

HP 7520 "Scan to Computer" not working with mac osx and wireless

Just installed from the disc, and then upgraded with latest version from HP site. Error message on 7520 printer is "No computer found". I am definitely connected to the same wifi network. Scan works okay if started from the iMac, bit not the other way around.

Hi MsChanChan,
You can remove the printer by clicking the "-" symbol in the printer list. After removing the printer, perform a restart and reinstall the software that you originally used to install the printer.

Scan to computer not working on HP Officejet Pro 8600

This is what I've tried already to get the scan feature to operate (both HP scan and Windows scan state they cannot find my 8600):
1) disabled AVG antivirus to allow for proper installation of software
2) tried HP doctor several times
3) uninstalled and re-installed the printer software with the disc several times
4) used the "repair" feature for the HP basic driver program since the HP Printer Install Wizard stated that the basic functionality drivers appear to be missing or configured incorrectly
5) set up a ePrint account in case that needed to be done
Am I missing something? I don't think I've used the scan feature since I've purchased this product so I can't testify that it's ever worked and I'm sure I've had it past the 90 day warranty. What else can I try?

Welcome to the forums Gizmo2!
I noticed the issue you are having with scanning on your Windows system. These are my suggestions.
I would like for you to:
Make a couple of copies from the printer itself, this tests the hardware. There possibly could be an issue with the copier when is used to scan.
If the copies work fine, try opening up Microsoft Paint on your Windows PC and try scanning from there.
Run the HP Print and Scan Doctor and send me a screen shot or the details of any errors the tool picks up.
Try an alternate connection. Example, if you have your printer connected wireless right now, try ethernet or USB as a connection.
Try a Clean Boot and try scanning from the printer software on your desktop when the PC restarts.
Please respond with the results and which OS you are running if the problem continues!
Have a great day

HT201412 my camera and photo booth have stopped working, everything else is fine.

camera shutter does not open so I cannot take any pictures. As well, the photobooth doesn't work. The red curtain just opens and closes.

Try resetting the iPad. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider, and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that helps.

Officejet Pro L7590 Scan feature does not work after power failure!

Hello guys,
I have an L7590 set up as a wired network printer through a netgear router. I am running Windows Xp. I installed the printer and everithing was working fine, but whenever there is a power outage the printer scanner does not see the computer. I am able to print from the computer but the twain feature is the only thing affected. I checked the router "Attached devices" and the printer is listed. The only way that I have being able to repair the problem is doing a complete uninstall and reinstalling the printer software again. Does anybody knows why this happpens or how to fix it? thanks a lot.

I am having a very similar problem. Everything will be working fine, and then one day the scan function will not work. It will print fine but it wont scan. It locks up my computer and then I have to reinstall. Now it has happened and I cant get it to work even after a reinstall. Printer works fine, but scanning wont work. I am able to ping the printer and nothing has changed on my computer. I am lost with this one. I hope someone is able to answer this.

Scanning feature will not work

the F4480 printer is connected wireless & will not scan thru the computer. I have installed the HP printer wizard & have conducted a test scan & it functions properly. I then installed a HP printer scan doctor &everything checked out okay,however when I did a test scan it would not work.
dorker713

Hey there @devil-62-man , I hope you are well
I have some suggestions for you that should help with the scanning issues you are having with your Deskjet F4480.
1. Try power cycling the network devices:
Turn off the printer and computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press any buttons on the router).
Plug the router back in and wait another minute, next turn on the printer and computer.
Try scanning through the HP software again.
2. If the scans still do not work, try Uninstalling the Printer Software through the Control Panel and then restart the PC to complete the uninstall. Next, download and run the installation to install the Full Feature Driver here: HP Deskjet F4400 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver
Try scanning again and let me know the results.
Good luck

signed up twice for adobe pdf export to word and still not working - anyone else have this problem?

In XI.
I can’t just export to word as I have done in the past in one simple click.
Convert to button is greyed out.
Now I have to save the pdf file on c drive when I am in outlook…then goto export pdf file…then find file then export to word.
I bought new computer with windows 8 (which is awful) and then bought pdf export again…
Any thoughts on how I can get back to one simple click again when I open a pdf file from an email in outlook?
Thank you,
Mike
