0kb on scan to network with Windows 8

1. Product Name and Number: HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909g wireless; connected via ethernet through a switch/router
2. Operating System installed (if applicable): Windows 8 Pro 32-bit
3. Error message: no error message
4. Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred: no changes made
Dear Forum Members,
We have just up-graded one laptop to Windows 8 and are surprised to find that the scan to network function does no longer work properly. It produces pdf files with 0kb and nothing is scanned.
Using the HP solution centre, the laptop can however scan documents to the hard drive. All other functions of this printer still work as expected.
The scan to network function works with all existing Windows 7 Pro (32 & 64 bit) computers.
Does anybody have a solution ?
Many thanks for your help.

HP LaserJet M1120 MFP will not print on wireless network with Windows 8.1 operating system

The printer worked on the wireless network with Windows 8.
I have been advised that it does not work with windows 8.1 because a driver is required. However this is not available to download.
It is ridiculous that by having the latest operating system I am unable to use the HP printer on the wireless network
When will HP have the driver to download?

Check the support site here.

How do I connect to a Wi-Fi network with Windows 10?

QuestionHow do I connect to a Wi-Fi / wireless network with Windows 10?
AnswerNote: This article describes connecting to wireless networks in Windows 10. Separate articles exists for doing this in Windows 8 and Windows 7.
To connect to a wireless network in Windows 10, follow these simple steps:
Select the wireless icon in the bottom-right near the clock. If you don't see it, you might need to press the up arrow to see more icons.
A panel will open on the right that lists detected wireless networks.
At the bottom of the panel, you'll see buttons for Wi-Fi and Airplane mode.
Ensure Wi-Fi is enabled and Airplane mode is disabled.
Select your wireless network from the list.
You can check the box next to Connect automatically if you prefer.
Now select Connect.
If it requires a password, it'll prompt you. In that case, enter your credentials and follow the prompts.
You can also watch this video showing how to connect to Wi-Fi with Windows 10:

What are you trying to do the password on .. I have never noticed that it is limited to specific lengths unless you use WEP.. surely you don't use wep.

Networking with Windows PC

I have 2 computers. One is a Powerbook G4 12-inch. The other is Dell Dimension E310. They both connect to the Internet perfectly via an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station. I would like to transfer files (picture, movies, etc.) from the Powerbook to the Dell. I created a Network Place on my Dell. In the Network tab in the Finder in the Powerbook, the Folder of my workgroup is there. I try place a file inside that folder but comes up with "Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured. (Error code -61)" All I want to do is set-up a netywork so the 2 computers can recognize each other and send files to each other once in a while via the Airport Extreme Base Station. If this cannot be done, please tell me. If it can be done, what are the easiest steps to get this done so the 2 computers can recognize each other and send files to one another?

If you are asking about such a question it is best answered by posting a new question.
You can cut and paste the question you posted here and ask about networking with Windows servers. You will get more and better responses from more mac experts.
You should have no problems. The key word being "should". The reality is that frequent changes to X security and the Windows environment may break the ease with which you can network. Don't worry about reading and writing to a disk that has been formatted diffently. Mac and windows machines are frequently interfacing with drives formatted in foreign formats with no problem. The network should handle the differences.
What you should be concerned with is the IT support that you may or may not have with an orphan laptop. Many in IT don't want to deal with macs (or linux, or anything else). Without their support you may not be happy. It won't be the mac's fault but that does not matter.
The good thing about the new mac laptops is that you can also install Windows and if any problems persist you can switch to Windows while resolving any mac issues. It really is pretty tough to claim that macs can't exist in pc land any more. Before you may have had to resort to virtual pc (with it's issues) but now you can just reboot into Windows. You should not have to but it is there if needed. I see no reason to not get the mac.

OS9.2- Is it possible to network with windows PCs ?

Relatively new to the world of macs -have a Quicksilver(2002) dualbooting into OS9.2.2 & OSX Tiger. It's connected via a netgear router to the internet which works fine in either system.
When booted into OSX I've worked out how to network with the 2 other Window XP computers that are connected to the router, but I can't figure out how to get the mac to see the other computers when booted in OS9.2. Is it possible or not?
Also although I can access shared documents on the PCs while in OSX I can't get the mac to see the printer that is on the network (connected via 1 of the PCS.)
Is it because it's an OKI C3200 colour laserprinter & it's incompatible with a mac, or have I just not set it up correctly?

OS9 doesn't understand SMB, it can be set up to read PC disks via SCSI, but haven't found a way to Network it yet... unless you can get hold of an old copy of Virtual PC®, or get some Mac Services on the PC itself.

Can't see wireless network with Windows Vista

I have the Airport Extreme N and two PCs, one with W XP and one with W Vista. Everything works fine with the XP PC. On the Vista PC, I can connect to the network with LAN, but I can’t see the wireless network.
The W Vista PC can identify other networks around the block, so the Broadcom 802.11g network adapter seems to work fine. The wireless runs on channel 13, which is OK for the XP PC. I have installed the latest update for the Airport Extreme.
Any suggestions to what I can do to get the W Vista PC working on wireless?
Best, Kasper

Hi,
I also have the same problem.
My belkin wirelss router is set to channel 13, therefore my macbook cannot see this network when it search's, for the above reasons.
However unlike the situation above I am unable to change from channel 13 as we have discovered in the past that this is the only channel that is not in use by other networks around our area. The rest gave us interferance troubles.
I have a number of windows laptops in the house and there is a setting that you can change so the laptop will search for channel 13. I was wondering if anyone is aware of a setting on the macbook that will make the airport card search for 1 - 13 not just channels 1 - 10 as it is now.
I thought I would add this question to this topic as it is very similar. I hope I was correct in doing so.
Thanks,
Josh

Cant network with windows

I connect to the internet through a wired netgear router. there are a bunch of other computers, all windows, on my network with shared files. when i click network under places i see a "windows network" icon, i click that and see a empty window where all the computers should be.
Not sure if i need samba to get this working since i thought samba is fopr sharing not recieving. either way i have downloaded it and tried to set it up. here is my smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
security = share
dns proxy = no
domain master = no
preferred master = no
[Media]
path = /home/glynn/Media
browsable = yes
read only = yes
guest ok = yes
media is just a folder with a jpg in it so far. thing is, the windows computers cant see the samba server either.
what am i missing? arch doesnt come with some kind of fire wall does it? do i need to open ports on my router? since windows to windows sharing works fine this is kinda wierd, its like i cant connect to anything on the network, but i am on the network since i have internet access
thanks in advance

Problems networking with Window Vistat

I have a macbook pro which I want to network with an older windows vista laptop to transfer files. But I cannot connect to the windows machines using the same parameters that previously worked with an older macbook 10.4 machine.
I go to connect to server, use SMB://IP address of windows machine. I have disabled all firewalls, enabled sharing on the windows directory I want to access but still nothing, despite the fact that in 'network-system preferences' the ethernet status is clearly shown as connected.
Any help much appreciated

Networking with Windows Security Issues

Hey guys. I'm new to the Mac world so please consider me Mactarded when you reply. I'm pretty competent with windows and have successfully shared files between my PC and my mac. The issue is this. When I attempt to connect to the shared files on my PC from my mac it asks me for a password. Great! BUT...when I connect to a shared file on my mac from my PC there is no password prompt. This makes me nervous. Is there anyway to get the PC to ask for a password when I attempt to connect to the Mac?

Windows Vista is quite idiotic when it comes to connecting to Mac volumes. XP never had trouble with it, but Vista is set by default to not allow it. The process of getting the setting changed is quite convoluted with Vista Home Premium, which doesn't have the necessary tools for changing the setting.
Here's what worked for me (I wrote it down so I could duplicate it in the future):
Go to the Start menu and go to All Programs -> Accessories -> Run
Type "Regedit.exe" and press return
Go to HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
Select Lsa, then choose Edit -> New -> Key
Type "DWORD" (without quotes) as the name in the list
Double-click the text "(Default)" in the right-hand pane
Enter "1" (without quotes) as the value and press OK
Quit Regedit and restart the machine
Log in to the remote Mac using "ip_address\username" as the user name

Can Printer over network but can't scan over network with Officejet 6500 E710n

Got an odd problem... I can print all day via my wireless network, I can even ping my printer's IP with no issues.
I can't scan at all, it keeps giving me connection related error messages (Scanner Unreachable, etc). I checked the "Update IP Address" tool and the IP address was correct. So I figured I would install on a different computer.
I installed using the software from this website (I have never installed this HP printer on this computer, I always did eprinting from this computer), it worked perfectly, it found the printer almost instantly. Installation worked perfect with no issues, errors, etc.
Printed the test page perfectly but I still can't scan over the network, I tried both clicking on "HP Officejet 6500 E710n-z" and clicking on both "Scan a document or photo" and "Activate Scan to Computer" and also I get a connection error if I try the "HP Scan" software.
I ran the "HP Home Network Diagnostic Utility" but it can't find my printer (odd that it found it to install the software and I can print/ping it all day).
I also ran the "HP Scan Diagnostic Utility 4.2" and it DID find the printer... It also got past the "Connectivity" and "Device Manager" steps and put a check next to them.
It then failed on the "Windows (WIA) Scan" step. I skip it and it fails on the "HP Twian Scan" after giving me a connection related error message. It will not let me continue the test.
I have restarted both computers and printer multiple times. I am running Windows 7 on my laptop and Windows XP on my desktop.

I suggest uninstalling the full feature software from both PCs and re-installing and configuring the software on both.
Are you using the HP Solution center to scan? It is in Dutch, but the images are the same as what you should see in a correctly installed full feature software package.

Setting up a wireless network with windows XP PC

I may be getting a mac computer later this year & would like to know how to set up a wireless network between the mac & a windows XP PC. The PC has a DSL modem attached to it with a yellow line going from modem to PC & another Grey line going from the modem to the back of a phone in our kitchen. Our house is fairly big, it is one story but the rooms are sprawled out with a lot of clutter. I would like to have reliable internet access on my mac, & if it is a macbook pro I would like to be able to get to the internet throughout the house. The most important thing is stable reliable internet access as I am taking online classes. I would probably take the macbook pro into a bedroom or other adjacent room. The bedroom is further away, through 2 or 3 walls. The Adjacent rooms is one wall way.
I know this seems very basic, but I need a lot of help with this as I have never used a mac before (have been a windows user) & have never used more than just the one PC in the house, let alone a wireless network.
my mother along with I are both taking online classes, so sometimes there is competition for the the 1 computer & with my graphic design degree a mac has been recommended to me. So we are finding it would be easier to have more than one computer in the house so we can access our classes anytime.
So anyone, can this be done without breaking the bank?

I'm guessing that Modem was provided by your Internet Service Provider ?
They are the best people to talk to about upgrading that Modem to a Wireless one.
Usually if you're running a modem and phone from the same DSL line there's a small splitter box that plugs into the phone socket and then one wire connects your modem and another your phone. Picture below - if you do have one of these then post back and we can give better advice on a wireless modem to replace your current one.

Can't scan over network with a laserjet 1217 on a Mac

Hi
My set up:
Mac with Yosemite
Laserjet M1217 over wireless
Problem description:
I can't scan. From preview, or the control panel, or image capture, I get the same error saying "can't open a session"
I have installed and re-installed the drivers/printer around 100 times.
I have tried adding the printer/scanner as airprint, or with the name of the printer as a post suggested.
Everything result in the same error.
I have version 2.0 of the driver installed right now. Tried with 1.7 as well, same result.
I can print without a problem from my Mac and from my iPad.
Tried with an ethernet cable and have teh same issue in case someone ask.
I've looked everywhere in google and doesn't seem like anyone else have the same issue? Many people have issues printing over wireless, but that's ok for me. Is the scanning I can't get to work.
HP pages doesn't offer any different driver than what Yosemite has. HP doesn't offer any extra program for Mac and scan.
Don't know what else to try.
Some help? Anyone?
This question was solved.

Hi @juancgallardo ,
I see that you are experiencing issues scanning over the wireless network and hardwired network on Yosemite.
I would like to help you out with this issue today.
The drivers for Yosemite are installed by the Apple Updates.
Installing Your HP Printer Driver and Software for Mac OS X.
Did you add the printer as a Bonjour printer or IP Protocal?
IP Protocal won't allow you to scan, just print.
You can also download and install the HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X.
If you are still having issues then check that the scanning ports on the router to make sure that they are open. You can contact the router company to check and open these ports 9220/9500/427 on the router.
If you still can't scan, connect the printer directly to the Mac with a USB cable and see if you can scan. Just to rule out a network issue.
What kind of router do you have?
Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

New Router- Internet OK, but cannot see other machines on the network with Windows Explorer

Everything was fine (but slow) with my old Linksys BRFW1154. Ordered and got a new WRT350N. Multiple computers (using Windows XP) on network can all access the internet and the network printer, but when I try to use Windows Explorer to see files etc on other computers (in My Network Places) from any computer, I no longer can see the other computers. I get the error: "Workgroup is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this ........etc....".
Any ideas out there as to how I get my network working again?

check whether all the computers can ping each other fine...also, the computers should be in the same workgroup
