Can't scan from brand-new HP PSC 1600 all-in-one printer/scanner/copier

Just installed this new all-in-one, and the printer and copier work perfectly. But when I try to scan, it won't do anything. Error message says to configure a "scan destination." But the menu to do so, on the desktop, won't open at all. Just stalls and stalls. Everything else seems to work fine, so no connection problems. Anybody know how to shake this menu loose?

I've been using the HP psc 1210v for about a year now, and I've always been able to print, but scanning (which I do very infrequently) has always been a problem. Typically, to use the scanner, I have to remove the printer and re-install with the latest drivers from HP's (currently 7.7.2).
So, after doing this again, I was able to scan a couple of images by using the "HP Device Manager". I just double-click on "Scan Picture", which opens the "HP Scan" application, and I can choose from there how to scan; either opening in another Application or Save to File.
I'm using 10.4.6, but I know I originally scanned some images using this printer in 10.3.9. Hopefully this will continue to work!

  • Connecting HP PSC 2355 All-in-One printer/scanner using USB cord

    I have a Time Capsule that I use to back up both my Mac Mini and my MacBook Pro and would like to connect my HP PSC 2355 All-in-One Printer/Scanner to the network using USB cord and plugging it into the back of my TIme Capsule. I tried this once, but was unable to find the Printer. I would like to set it up so I could use both the Printer and the Scanner from either my MacMini or my MacBook Pro. It would be really cool if I could figure out a way to use Back to My Mac to print when I am away from home and using my MacBook Pro at a WiFi Hotspot. Is this possible? How can I do it? Suggestions? Thank you!

    +would it be possible to split the USB cord coming from the Printer+
    I'm afraid not. The connection must be direct to either the TC or your computer, but not both at the same time.
    Apple's Printer Troubleshooting Guide will guide you through the process of setting up the printer. Unfortunately, Apple does not offer a printer compatibility list, so the only way to really know if your device is compatible is to try to see if it can be configured.
    Perhaps HP would could help in this regard.

  • Installing HP PSC 1350 all-in-one printer/scanner

    In the past, I could usually solve the "Offline" or "Not Connected" problems by unplugging my printer for a few minutes, but that no longer works. So, I decided to buy another one. However, just before clicking on the BUY button on Amazon, I decided to try to fix the problem one more time. Part of the "fix" was deleting my printer from the computer and then reinstalling it. This is where I'm now stuck. I deleted it, but I can't reinstall it. I get to the ADD window, but everything is grayed out. So, how do I install my printer? I might add that the HP instructions that I was following (OSX v. 10.9 Mavericks- Installing and using the printer on a Mac) are what got me this far.

    Have you installed the v10.9 Mavericks compatible driver yet >>  Software & driver downloads HP PSC 1350 All-in-One Printer | HP® Support
    After you download the driver, open System Preferences > Printer & Scanners > Print
    Delete the current printer by selecting it then click -  (minus)
    Then click + to add the printer back in.
    That should load the driver for you.

  • Scanning on my c5280 all in one printer-scanner-copier

    since purchasing my lap running windows 8.1 I have been unable to scan from my all in one printer to my pc. all it allows you to do is to scan the document to a memory card or reprint the image

    Hello , Welcome to the HP Community. I'd like to help you with the issue you are having scanning on your Windows 8.1 system with your HP Photosmart C5280 All-in-One printer. I would suggest installing the full feature software for your product. Fortunately, the full software suite is still available for download for your Windows 8.1 operating system. You can download the software here: HP Photosmart C5200 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver If the issue persists, I suggest trying to install the printer using the Windows Update. You can find all of the steps to do that here (under Step Two: Method Two): HP Single-Function and Multifunction Printers - The Printer Does Not Print in Windows 8 and is Listed as 'Unknown' or 'Unspecified' or Appears with a Yellow Triangle in the Devices and Printers Folder If you're still unable to scan after installing the printer using Windows Update, try downloading the HP Scan and Capture app from the Windows Store. Please respond to let me know if these suggestions helped to resolve your issue!

  • Paper feed out of sync on HP PSC 1510 All-in-One Printer Scanner

    Paper feed out of sync on HP PSC 1510 All-in-One(SN MY59SD224W0498). Goes to flashing orange light. With Vista Home Premium 32-bit, 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2 Build 6002. USB connection to HP Pavilion GU658AA-ABU a6250.uk .
    After cleaning ink drip tray including removing & refitting the small panel in the base towards the rear RHS of the  printer and also Super Glueing a small wedge of timber to close split shaft bearing for rear print feed rollers - looking from rear with clean out door removed this is at the LHS where the cogs are - paper feed is out of sync. When turned on with paper in feed tray printer draws in paper until about 2" (5cm) of paper protrudes from delivery slot & then stops. Paper jam is indicated by flashing orange light. On pressing Cancel/Resume, paper is expelled & another sheet taken in with the same results. Have turned off & restarted. Have moved cartridge cleaner tray right from front to rear & tested & then brought it right forward again & tested. Have turned off & unplugged power & USB & restarted after more than 30 minutes. Have uninstalled driver & downloaded & installed anew. Downloaded & ran the HP Print Diagnostic Utility. All to no avail. Any suggestions anyone?

    Hi there nobster,
    This article should cover the blinking light. However, I suspect the printer requires servicing.
    Best of Luck!

  • HP PSC 1600 all-in-one getting scanner to work

    Has any one had any luck in getting the scannner portion of this hardware to work. I had no problems setting up the printer but I can't get the scanner to work. When I try xsane it flashes scanning for devices and closes.

    I never used it, but there is a separate driver for HP devices.

  • Scan Control from HP 1210 All in one Printer/Scanner

    I now have Macbook with OS 10.6.8.
    Used to have 10.4.11
    We have an HP 1210 All in one printer/scanner.
    With 10.4 there was a very clear and user friendly utility provided by HP that enabled good scan control.
    It enabled multiple choices of destination filetype and multiple pages scanned into a single document.
    Now I have 10.6.
    I have done S/W update both with printer connected and disconnected.
    I have been offered and have downloaded the latest version of s/w from HP.
    Nowhere on my Mac is there a file that has any name like HP, Hewlett Packard or PSC or 1210
    The utility is there somewhere because I can print, and, if I have the printer active, I can use the utility to check ink levels etc.
    However the ONLY scan facility is the Mac IMage Capture.
    This only does single pages and only scans to jpeg.
    What do I have to do to get my full scan control facility back and active as provided by HP
    Steve B

    steve.br wrote:
    However I repeat, There is no s/w that the system can find that is labled HP, Hewlett or PSC or 1200. Not in applications or Utilities or anywhere I can see.
    If I use the Finder File Find utility I can search for files with any of those attributes and nothing related is found.
    Path should be HD/Library/Printers/hp
    Within the hp folder are several folders with one titled "Utilities" and within that folder is the application HP Utility
    Path HD/Library/Printers/hp/Utilites/HP Utility
    Since it's to be accessed from the System Preferences Print & Fax tab/pane/icon or within Image Capture, that is why those files are not in the Applications folder nor Utilities folder. It is not to be launched directly, i.e., double clicked. Be careful accessing files in the main Library folder (i.e., HD/Library/).
    FYI: I have all those folders on all my computers each using a different OS even though the only HP printer I use is a 1995 Laserjet 4MV.
    I Have just done a test using the SystemPreferences Printer area and get sent to the Image capture function.
    So, that was after clicking the Scan tab in System Preferences > Print & Fax? It's most likely using the HP Software that you noted downloading in your original post. It is not using some phantom software.
    I want to be able to save a multiple page document file in .pdf format.
    I use Acrobat Professional to scan as PDF with a Brother multifuction device that is equiped with a 30 page auto document feeder (ADF). Since the HP 1210 is a flat-bed scanner, it seems that your wish can be achieved by scanning and saving each page as separate documents and then combining those documents. I cannot remember whether Apple Preview in 10.6.x offers combining PDFs but there are a number of freeware and shareware apps that can.
    Is there a conversion capability that would convert from .jpeg to .pdf
    Apple Preview, Adobe Photoshop, GraphicConverter are just a few apps that come to mine.
    Thanks for your help.
    You're welcome. A lot has changed since Mac OS 10.4.11. Hope the above helps too.

  • Hp psc 1315 all-in-one printer

    I have installed a hp psc 1315 all in one printer on my new Mac OS X version 10.9.5.
    While I can print without any problems, I don't have access to scan a document from the printer to my computer.

    Thank you.

    Hello @annlf 
    Welcome to the HP Community!
    I hope to help you with the scanning concern you have today.
    Unfortunately, you will not be able to scan using HP software with your PSC 1315 (older model), on Mavericks (newer OS X), as there is no Full Feature driver (includes scanning software) available.
    However, you do have some other options to scan. See this link for your options. Scroll down when the guide loads and select "How do I scan with the driver from Apple Software Update?"

Please help me to find software for this (scanner document) I have lost the CD lont time back can i download This some where?

    Hi there,
    I understand you're looking for drivers for your PSC 1210 on Windows 7. I will certainly do my best to guide you in this issue.
    At this time there are no HP drivers available for this printer for Windows 7. You can still use the printer with Windows 7, you will just have to use the drivers available within Windows 7. That document will walk you through what you need to do in order to get printing again, and will also show you how to scan with this Windows driver.
    Hope this helps, have a great day!!

  • Does hp support a HP psc 1500 all in one printer

    I can not print in black.  I've re uninstalled and re installed my printer at least 6 times,  can not find my printer which is a HP  psc 1500 all in one listed therefore I used software for 1510 all in one.  It prints all text in light blue.  I've tried changing my printing preferences many different ways.  Nothing seems to correct this problem.  I've run a test page and it printed  two lines in black( black print read HP PSC 1500 series and my serial number on the second line)  and 3 color blocks and the rest was small squares and small lines in 3 columns. My frustration level is at an all time high.  I've literally spent an entire day trying to fix this problem.  Please help before I do something RASH.  Thank You, Greta2

    Hey @greta2,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forum.  I understand you're having a print quality issue with your HP PSC 1500 All-in-One Printer.  I would like to assist you in resolving this and have some steps that may improve your print quality.  You were correct in using the 1510 All-in-One drivers as they are compatible with your printer.  Additionally, you were very diligent in approaching the problem from a software perspective - this rules out printer settings as being the most likely cause of the absence of black ink in your printouts.  
    From what you're describing with the test-page printout, I would recommend that you troubleshoot the issue at the hardware level.  For starters, click on the following article heading and work your way through Steps 2 through 6 to better diagnose the issue:
    Missing, Faded, or Dull Colors
    As I suspect your print diagnostic page (Steps 3-6) will be lacking black ink in some parts as before, proceed with the following steps:
    Run the clean print cartridges utility
    Open the Printer Toolbox. There are two ways to do this:
    Open HP Director (or HP Solution Center), select the Settings menu, then the Print Settings submenu, and finally the Printer Toolbox.
    Open Printers and Faxes in the Windows Control Panel, then right-click your printer icon and choose Properties. Click on Printing Preferences. Click the Services tab, then the Service This Device icon.
    The Printer Toolbox opens. On the Device Services tab, click Clean the Print Cartridges , then follow the on-screen instructions. Up to three levels of cleaning are available. Discard or recycle the page that prints.
    Clean the contacts
    Gather the following items to clean the cartridge and carriage:
    Clean distilled water. Use bottled or filtered water if distilled water is not available. Tap water can contain contaminants that damage the cartridge.
    Clean cotton swabs or any soft, lint-free material that will not stick to the cartridges (coffee filters work well).
    Sheets of paper or a paper towel to rest the cartridge on during cleaning.
    Open the cartridge access door and wait until the carriage is idle and silent.
    Disconnect the power cord from the back of the printer.
    Remove the cartridge and place it on a piece of paper with the nozzle plate facing up.
     NOTE:Do not leave the cartridges outside of the printer for more than 30 minutes. If the cartridge is outside of the printer for too long, the ink can dry and clog the nozzles.
    Dip a clean foam-rubber swab or lint-free cloth into distilled water, and then squeeze any excess water from it.
    Clean only the copper-colored contacts
    Figure : Clean the contacts
    Copper-colored contacts
    Ink nozzles (do not clean)
    Repeat these steps for the other cartridge.
    Lightly moisten another cotton swab with distilled water, and then squeeze any excess water from the swab.
    Use the swab to clean the electrical contacts in the carriage, located inside the printer on the carriage slots.
    Figure : The electrical contacts in the cartridge slots
    Wait 10 minutes to allow the cartridge and carriage electrical contacts to dry.
    Reinstall the cartridges.
    Close the cartridge access door.
    Reconnect the power cord to the back of the printer.
    Press the Power button to turn on the printer.
    Try to print a page.
    If you are still unable to print, repeat these steps to clean and reseat the cartridges. Multiple cleanings might be necessary to restore printing.
    Black cartridges only: remove and rest for two hours
     NOTE:The procedure below will not fix missing lines or streaked bars printed by the tri-color, photo, or gray photo cartridges, or other color printing problems. Only perform the steps below if the black print cartridge has printed defective patterns, or if you notice non-uniform black text darkness.
    In the black print cartridge, this problem may be caused by sediments collecting in the nozzle area. Follow the steps below to solve this problem:
    Remove the black print cartridge.
    If the carriage has a latch, relatch it and then close the printer - this is important. If the printer is not closed, it cannot adequately protect the remaining tri-color cartridge.
    Place the cartridge on a level surface with the nozzles up (label down).
    Figure : Cartridge with the nozzles up
    Allow the cartridge to sit undisturbed for two hours.
    Reinstall the cartridge and print another self test page.
    Click the Windows Start button, then click Control Panel.
    Double-click the Printer and Faxes folder.
    Right-click the icon for your printer and choose Preferences.
    Choose the Services tab and click Service this Device. The printer Toolbox opens.
    On the Devices Services tab, click Print a Diagnostic Page.
    Look for defects on the page.
    If the self test page shows no defects for the black cartridge, and if the cartridge was new, align the cartridge. To align the cartridge, follow the steps below:
    Load fresh, white paper.
    Click the Windows Start button, then click Control Panel.
    Double-click the Printer and Faxes folder.
    Right-click the icon for your printer and choose Preferences.
    Choose the Services tab and click Service this Device. The printer Toolbox opens.
    On the Device Services tab, click Align the Printer.
    If the cartridge was not new, there is no reason to align the printer.
    If the page still shows defects, go to the next step.
    Replace the problem cartridge
    If a cartridge replacement was not tried previously to solve this problem, replace the problem cartridge now. Click here (c00206040) (in English) to see if the cartridge is covered under warranty.

  • Paper Jam for HP PSC 1610 All-in-One Printer

    Paper Jam for HP PSC 1610 All-in-One Printer:
    I had a paper jam and cleared the paper from the printer.  Now every time I turn the printer "on" it picks up the top piece of paper from the tray and runs it about ½  to ¾ of the way thru the paper feed, stops, and then displays message "paper jam clear paper and then press OK".  When I do that it simply picks up the next piece of paper off the tray and does the message again.  If I push the OK button on the printer it will simply finish the ejection and then pick up the next paper from the tray, and do the same thing.  I have examined the interior (and exterior) of the printer for paper scraps and  any other obvious sign of trouble (dirty drive wheels, missing rollers, broken springs, etc...) and can not see anything unusual. I can not print a test print because of the paper jam message.  I am running Windows XP and the printer has been working fine for months (until this recent jam).  I did all the steps from the HP fix it site including clean rollers, plug and unplugged,  carriage travel OK and more. Don't know what to do now........Any help would be great!!!!   Thank you!

    Hi my printer psc 1610 hp not picking paper

  • Hp psc 1210 all in one printer feeding error

    I have a model 1210 all in one printer and it will not feed paper. it sounds like something its working, but not gripping the paper. PLEASE ADVISE

    Hello @anne0701 , and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I can see you're experiencing paper feed issues.  I would like to help!
    I would recommend performing a  power reset.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I would also suggest following the steps in this video on PSC feed issues:
