HP Photosmart C4480 does not scan in OSX 10.8.2

When I try to scan using my HP Photosmart C4480 (v9.6)  I get an error message " Sorry, scanner could not be initialized (Scanner not found). So, scanner function does not work using the "Photosmart Studio" application which is part of the application package. The printer works fine, I can "Scan to Print" and "Scan to OCR" using the menu on the printer itself as well but the functionality is limited.
I tried installing the latest print driver from HP (downloaded from the Apple Updates) HewlettPackardPrint2.13.dmg but ScanUtility does not find the update.
I did this twice, rebooting, etc., and no success.
Perhaps, this HP version/series not  supported by Mountain Lion? I got this HP Photosmart C4480 All-in-One free at the Mac store in late 2008 when they were "giving them away" with a purchase of the MacBook Pro. Any ideas, anyone? Thanks, A

The article states it is for all-in-ones and Laserjets, but the ideas may work:
Scan – HP in 10.8
HP Support
Have you tried going to System Preferences/Print & Scan to see if it works from there?
Does it print?

  • Hp scanner software Scan 3 does not work with osx yosemite

    The older software called HP Scan 3 does not work with OSX 10.10. Where can I download an update for this software? 

    Hello @ringie,
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand that you would like to scan from your Photosmart premium C410 to your Mac 10.10.
    I would like to help.
    There is currently no updated software.
    Try the following work around.

  • My HP Photosmart C4480 won't scan

    Hi Baytar1953,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I understand that your HP Photosmart c4480 can't scan with your Windows 7 Operating System.
    I have some questions for you:
    1.) How is the printer connected? Wireless or USB cable?
    2.) Are you scanning from the printer, or from the PC?
    In the meantime, please try our HP Print and Scan Doctor.
    Hope to hear back, and have a great day.

  • Officejet 6700 very slow to print does not scan to Imac

    I just purchased a new officejet 6700 from Costco it takes  at least 10 min to print if at all and does not scan to Imac the current osx is snow leopard 10.6.8 using an airport time machine as a my wireless router / backup I have charter internet with ARRIS modem model # TM502G its also very slow to run any functions in the hp utility I did notice that the home network ip and printer ip are different don't know if that is an issue or not any help would be appreciated thanx.

    Hello kennethburland,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand your concerns with your Officejet 6700 Premium.
    What program are you printing from? Do you notice this issue occur from using multiple program(s)?
    Please follow this entire HP document on Slow Printing. Make sure you choose your correct operating system.
    You did indicate that your printer's IP address and your home network are different. The first three numbers of the IP address should be the same, but the last number(s) should be different. Please reference this HP document on Wireless Basic.
    Are you receiving any error message indicating why you are unable to scan a document to your computer?
    If you are receiving a "Connection Error", then please follow this HP document here. If the scanning software isn't responding, then follow this HP document here.
    Please inform me your troubleshooting steps.

  • With HP update for Maverick my photosmart C309A does not work properly

    After the HP-update for Maverick my printer HP Photosmart C309A does not work correctly. The scan facility is gone and the printer "hangs" after one print. I had to reset the printer software from a backup and to disable the automatic installation facility on my IMac. Shortly, very very very nasty. I hope this is the way for Apple to change this update into a good one. There is no other way to communicate with Apple then through the Community. I wander if Yosemite gives the same problems with printers.

    You are welcome.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

    Some people have solved this by restoring their previous driver from their backup.

  • My Canon MX 922 does not scan. My printer is connected via cable. Wireless doesn't work either.

    My Canon MX 922 does not scan. My printer is connected via cable. Wireless doesn't work either.  I get an error message with multiple suggestions but none of them apply to my situation.
    I am so dissatisfied with this printer.  I'm sorry I got it from Amazon because now it is a hassle to return it.  I will never buy another Canon.
    The printer menus are confusing.  I hate using it.  I loved my previous Canon which finally stopped working after many years, that's why I purchased a newer Canon model.  Never again.  Stick with cameras.
    Marcy Hotz

    This note won't be as angry and frustrated as the last one...
    Because I still had my old printer drivers and other applications on my hard drive, I think the application was trying to connect with the old printer.  I deleted all the old stuff.
    I also had several scanning applications on my drive which just confused me.
    When I used the actual Canon MX922 application, I was able to scan but could only save as JPG, TIF or BMP (and one more, I forget which).  So I did some research on the Canon site and found out how to save documents as PDF files using the Canon IJ Scan Utility.
    It works now.  So I'm satisfied, will keep this maching.  I just had to take some time, sit down and focus on the problem.

  • All in one printer does not scan.

    All in one printer model:  HP Officejet 4500 G510n-z
    Computer:  HP 2310 Series Wide LCD monitor
    The scanner does not scan.  I think it is not connected or set up and there are no instructions in the manual.  The printer and copier work fine.  I ran HP Print and Scan Doctor and it could not detect a scanner.  What can I do?

    What OS and how's the printer connected?

    What's installed on your computer? If you don't have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later then you cannot get Lion. If you already have Lion installed then you cannot re-download from the App Store until you have reinstalled Snow Leopard.

  • Iomega prestige does not mount with osx 10.7

    Iomega prestige does not mount with osx 10.7.  I can see the drive under 'about this mac' under storage USB but it does not mount on the desktop or in disk untilities.  It does run, the light is on, and I can feel the disk spinning.  I have tried PRAM and NVRAM with no luck.  Any ideas?

    Is the disk designed for 10.7.5, or maybe an older OSX? At this point we are both trouble shooting in the dark.  Maybe you might want to return the the drive and get something that you know was built for your machine.  This does not make sense to me.  Maybe one of the mega dot guys on this site can chime in and offer some info.  Sorry I could not offer any more info.

    Hi,
    Is the printer connected to your PC by USB or network?
    By using USB connection, you may scan using the Windows Fax and Scan software integrated into your OS.
    Scanning through a network connection unfortunately supported on Windows7 32 bit only, as you  may find listed within the About network scanning section below:
