  • New HP Officejet 6600 won't scan to MacBook Air

    I bought new HP 6600, downloaded all the drivers set it up and it worked perfectly - for one week.  I've now uninstalled and reinstalled drivers.  My MacBook Air sees the printer and I watch it scan and see the text on my computer screen, but not saved in folder or in my Finder window?
    Thanks to anyone who can help.  My first time ever on this site.

    Hello @dbvancouver   and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you are experiencing scan issues.  I would like to help.
    I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
    I would also suggest running your Apple updates:  OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
    After the updates, I would recommend reinstalling the HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One Printer - H711a/H711g Drivers.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Get HP Officejet 6600 printer to scan to my computer

    I need to get my HP Officejet 6600 printer to scan a docment to my HP Pavilion 23 computer.

    Hi @kennyboundsmsn , and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see you're looking to scan. I would like to help!
    Before we start, I have a few questions:
    What happens when you try to scan?
    Do you receive any errors?
    Are you able to make a copy?
    Are you connected wireless or USB?
    In the meantime, I'd recommend this document:

  • HP officejet 6600 won't print

    HP officejet 6600 won't resume.  Msg says "paused" but cant get it to resume.  I've shut it down and replugged both the computer to which it is attached by wire, and stop/started the computer.  No luck.  Ideas?

    It won't print in black and white and HP WILL NOT ANSWER any of these requests because it's their way of stealing you money without really telling you they are.  Imagine that???

    My Magic Trackpad won't work on my Mac Mini? The cursor moves a little and then will not respond at all. Gestures do not work

    Yes, it's one of the things that can interfere.  Here are some others including airport.  Try changing your access point to use 5 Ghz or a lower 2.4 GHz channel.

  • My Apple wireless keyboard won't connect to my Mac mini any more.

    My Apple wireless keyboard won't connect to my Mac mini any more. Going through the Bluetooth Setup Assistant doesn't help - the computer finds the keyboard, but when I type in the pass code it fails to pair with it. The green LED on the bottom of the keyboard flashes twice at roughly two-second intervals. I've tried replacing the batteries and this has had no effect. I have all the latest software updates installed.

    Welcome Cheirhandrea!
    There are easily hundreds of variants of the iMac dating back to 1998. Many of the pre-2006 iMacs this forum covers cannot support an Apple wireles keyboard. Because this model has been in production for so long, it is important for you to let us know as much about your computer as possible so someone won't give you information that may not be appropriate to your iMac variant.
    So we need to know:
    1) Your processor type and Mac OSX version, both available by doing "About this Mac" from your Apple menu at the left end of the menu bar:
    2) The make and model of the keyboard.
    I asked for your Mac OS version because "iOS" as currently shown in your equipment profile cannot run on any Mac computer, only Apple's mobile devices. Once you get the OS version from "About this Mac," please change your profile to avoid further confusion and get help faster without the delay of someone having to ask for clarification before they can start helping.

  • HP Officejet 6500A won't scan.

    My HP Officejet 6500A Plus E710n (purchased late 2011) won't scan. Prints just fine. I have a MacBook Pro with OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) purchased late 2011.
    I haven't scanned anything in over a year. When I tried to scan a document a few days ago, the problem began. After researching the Apple and HP boards, I uninstalled the original HP software and installed HP's updated software/updates/drivers. I also installed Apple's HP updates, still won't scan. Keep getting the error message "Scanner reported an error. Failed to open a session on the device."
    I also deleted/re-added the printer and rebooted the MacBook umpteen times.
    I see that when I re-add the printer, it comes up as Bonjour Multifunction (see photo), yet there's no mention of Bonjour in my Activity Monitor.
    I'm stumped! Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

    Since that didn't work, try uninstalling and reinstalling the printer and the HP software.  I'll link the download below, so you don't have to search for it again.  Let me know what happens.
    HP Officejet Full Feature Software and Drivers - OS X 10.8
    I'm also going to include links to the instructions for uninstalling and installing the printer, in case you need to reference them.

  • HP Officejet 6600 won't copy

    I have an Officejet 6600 still in warantee that has been working fine.   All of a sudden, it will not copy, either from the feeder or from the glass.   I get an error message to load paper.  Yet, I can scan the document and print it.   There is no problem printing from Word or other programs.   I have checked for paper jams; there are none.   I checked to see if I could load a new printer driver, but there is none available.    Suggestions? Thank you

    Hi petrocelli, Thank you for your reply! I would recommend a hard reset, by going to this post, How to perform a Hard Reset, by . It is important to make sure the printer's power cable is plugged directly into the wall outlet, and not a surge protector. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.  I would also take a look through this guide, An 'Out of Paper' Message Displays and the printer Does Not Pick Up or Feed Paper. If those two solutions do not resolve your issue, please call our phone support at 800-474-6836.

  • HP Officejet 6600 won't print in black and white

    So I have a HP Officejet 6600 which recently ran out of it's magenta cartridge. I knew I wouldn't be able to print in color, but when I went to the printer and set preferences to print black only it still tells me I need to replace the magenta cartridge before I can resume printing. This is extremely annoying because I start school monday and have syllabi and things I need to print out. Please don't tell me to order or go out and buy a magenta cartridge. I just need to know how to get this specific printer to work using only black ink when the color cartidges are depleted.

    There are a few reasons color ink is used, even when printing black only:   Some ink is used to keep the nozzles from drying out.  When printing (even black only) the color printhead, attached to the same structure as the black printhead, is waving around in the air and the nozzles would clog if there were no servicing.When automatic duplex printing the front page typically has a thin underprint of color ink under the black to "set" the black ink.  It is not intuitive, but this causes the black ink to dry faster, reducing the chances of smearing the ink as the page is pulled back into the printer to print the back side.Graphics are typically printed with a mixture of color ink rather than black.  The color droplets are much smaller than the black droplets.  The composite black (made from colors) gives visibly better grayscale graphics results.  (For some drivers there is an option for printing in grayscale as "black ink only" or "High quality grayscale".) Printing in "Best" quality typically underprints balck with color to give a darker black.The pigmented black ink is not compatible with photo apper.  If photo paper is detected or selected in the driver the printer will mix color ink to make black.Depending on the driver the option for "black ink only" may not be available when color ink will be needed, for example in the duplex printing case. See the document here for information on how ink is used in the printing process.  In the language of that document the Officejet 6600 is an IIC printer. If you want a printer that can print with no color ink at all I would suggest something like a monochrome Laserjet, or an IPH printer such as the Deskjet 6980 or Officejet 8040a that would allow printing with the color cartridge removed compeltely.

  • Mavericks won't install on newest mac mini fusion drive

    I have a mac mini, latest version.  I have a fusion drive.
    Mavericks won't install on that drive.  I get this message:
    This disk doesn't use the GUID Partition Table scheme. Use Disk Utility to change the partition scheme. Select the Disk, choose the
    partition tab, select the volume Scheme and then click Options.
    Well, I did that, up to "choose the partition tab."  Then it says "you may only split this partition into two. To do this, click +."
    I did that, and there were two partitions.  the only option left is to select apply, which I didn't.
    The "options" were still greyed out.
    So now what?
    Thanks for any input.

    Lion creates a recovery area with a minimal version of OS X and it may be unable to do so due to use over the years, and possibly other resizing operations (Boot Camp).  It could just need more space, if you only have less than 8gb free.  Lion shuffles and merges the two systems when it upgrades.  You can burn the image downloaded from App Store by finding the dmg file inside the "Install Mac OS X Lion.app" bundle, dragging it into disk utility, then burning from there.
    Otherwise, you can appropriate a MBR/BIOS formatted 4GB thumbdrive, 8GB of either EFI or MBR/BIOS thumbdrive, flash storage device, or external hard drive, and format it, using the restore operation through disk utility to copy the contents of the installer disk to the media.  Exposed via the alt key before the Apple logo, should show the bootable media, where you can format over the former installation.
    As always, backup your files when upgrading.  I recommend if your installion is over a year old to wipe and upgrade if you can't make otherwise the media bootable, using your 10.6 recovery dvd.
    If you cannot find an external medium to backup your files before the upgrade, if you need to format via disk utility (Through 10.6 media), you can consider Dropbox as an option (2GB free account).
    It's not uncommon for the partition to simply refuse operations, including upgrades and resizing.
