Can I Scan to editable text on HP Officejet Pro 8620 using the Apple Printer Driver 3.0?

Can I Scan to editable text on HP Officejet Pro 8620 using the Apple Printer Driver 3.0?
I had a very difficult time getting my new HP Officejet Pro 8620 functioning as well as it does now. I just tried scanning something as editable text for the first time and it ended up being scanned as a pdf. At one point in my various tries there was a note on the printer screen that I did not have the HP OCR software installed.
This may be because the resolution to my installation problems with the HP Officejet Pro 8620 seems to have been reverting to operating with the HP-Apple Printer Drivers 3.0 package instead of the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg installation package.
I do not, therefore, have the HP Scan application on my computer now which is where HP says its OCR software can be found.
So what I'm afraid of is that I'm now running well with the HP-Apple driver but if I do go back and install the HP Officejet Pro v12.32.0 driver software with the HP installer, in order to access the OCR softwware in HP Scan application, I'll mess up everything else.
Is there any chance that the HP-Apple Printer Drivers 3.0 package I have installed also includes OCR software? If so where can I find instructions for activating it and using it with the HP 8620's scanner?
Or can I only get OCR capability with the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg package?
Any experience with this? Should I leave well enough alone? Or can I somehow install the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg package without messing up my current functionality?
Thanks
Steve

The printer driver that is installed automatically from Apple doesn't scan. The scanner part can be accessed through Image Capture, but I don't think that does any OCR on the scan. You'd need a separate program. As you noted, many of the bundled software programs have OCR built-in (albeit limited). From my experience, that is only activated when you scan to "searchable" PDF or something similar. You would then have to extract the text from the PDF.
I don't have an HP printer/scanner, so take this all with a grain of salt.
If you can just install the Scanner utilities, that shouldn't affect the printer portion.
Your other option would be to purchase separate OCR software. Unless you need to scan lots of documents into text, you should further investigate installing the HP scan utilities.

Printer Driver Problem

Printer Driver will not load. Printer is a Photosmart C 4795
From disk, I get the "Run Setup.exe" message, click on it, CD drive runs a minute, then stops. Nothing appears on the monitor afer the "Run Setup.exe" message. I have loaded other programs from CD drive, so I know it works.
Have downloaded driver from HP site, File: PS_A10_06_C4700_USW .........
When I click on it, it extracts, then nothing. Downloaded it from HP web site direct and also with computer starting with "Add new printer"
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi @FOYGUY,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I see that the driver will not load for your HP Photosmart C4795 on Windows 7. I am happy to look into this for you!
Please try the following:
Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Create a new user account. Create a user account.
Disable any antivirus programs. Disable antivirus software.
Disable any firewall programs. Turn Windows Firewall on or off.
Re-install using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Hope this will help, and have a good day!

Looking for a Suprer Wide printer driver.

Hi all,
I have to produce an ultra wide report that will be used as an extract (never actually printed).
The problem is that it will have about 80 fields and I need CR to accommodate this. The only way I can think to do this is by installing a super wide printer driver on my computer.
I can't seem to find one on line.
If anyone has, and is willing to share a printer driver for an HP Scitex, NUR Expedio or any other billboard sized printer I'd be indebted to you.
Failing that, if you know a way around CR's printer width limitation, I'd LOVE to know about it. I'm using CRXI R2.
Thanks in advance,
Jason

Thanks Ted,
Yea actually I do. I actually had the idea, after I submitted this post of course, to just use a free pdf printer instead.
I down loaded Cute PDF Writer and it's giving me a max of 108" (or 9 feet). I think that will do the trick.
Thanks,
Jason

Print driver host for 32 bit applications has stopped working

I just bought a Hp ENVY 7640 printer. I cannot use the wireless printing on my 64 bit computer, with Windows 7. I get an error message "print driver host for 32 bit applications has stopped working".

Print driver host for 32 bit app has stopped working

Using Windows 7 64 bit. The printer is an HP Laser 1200. The 64 bit driver for the printer would not work, so I switched to the hp 2200 64 bit driver and the customer was able to print out of his CAD program and Excel.
However Adobe Reader is a different matter. He got the message "print driver for the 32 bit app has stopped working" and printed out 3 blank pages. Then he tried to print again, didn't get the message, and didn't get the blank paper. In fact, he didn't get anything.
Of course, there is no information on the HP website. Any ideas on what could be the problem?
Thanks

I am using windows 7 and can't get the print drives to load for F2210 printer

I am using windows 7 and can't get the print drives to load for F2210 printer and I keep receiving different fatal error codes.

Hello @Imvertical
Welcome to the forums!
I read about how you're attempting to install your Deskjet F2210 on your Windows 7 system and receive Fatal Error codes. I will do my best to help and make some suggestions for you to try.
To being, try a standard copy from the unit to see if it will copy. If copies work, continue troubleshooting. If not, let me know what happened when you made a copy.
Next:
Perform a Level 3 uninstall.
There are 2 ways you can run the uninstall:
From Original installation CD:
1. Insert CD into drive, and then cancel the installer
2. Click Start and open 'Computer', and then right click on the CD drive and open
3. Open folder Util
4. Open folder CCC
5. If you have an HP computer run the L3uninstall.exe. If you have a non-HP computer run the L4uninstall.exe
6. When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
7. Run Disk cleanup from Accessories\ System Tools
8. Download and install the latest version of Adobe flash player
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
9. Download the full feature software and drivers: HP Deskjet F2200/F2224 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver
10. Run the download to reinstall the printer
If software was downloaded and extracted to your system:
1. Click Start and type %temp% in the run field
2. Look for, and open the folder starting with 7z (Example: 7zS2356) (If there is more than one, choose the most recent folder)
3. Open folder Util
4. Open folder CCC
5. If you have an HP computer run the L3uninstall.exe. If you have a non-HP computer run the L4uninstall.exe
6. When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
7. Run Disk cleanup from Accessories\ System Tools
8. Download and install the latest version of Adobe flash player
http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
9. Download the full feature software and drivers: HP Deskjet F2200/F2224 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver
10. Run the download to reinstall the printer
Please let me know if the installation worked after the Level 3 uninstall.
Good luck and have a nice Wednesday!

Add printer driver

I've installed 10.5.1 but I erased my printer driver by mistake. How do I just add the driver from my Leopard DVD without adding any "Essential System Software" as shown after clicking on: "Customize?" It appears as if I will install all 5.9 GB of "Essential..." when all I want to add is a printer driver. Of course, that "Essential..." is also 10.5, not 10.5.1

The easiest thing would be to download the specific driver from your printer manufacturer's web site. You could use Pacifist to view and extract the particular printer driver from your Mac OS install/restore DVD, but this is a bit more labor intensive. Without Pacifist, or a similar program, there is no way to extract and install a specific driver from the Mac OS install/restore DVD, and therefore you would have to install all the printer drivers for your printer's manufacturer.

Printer driver for workforce 645 was updated yesterday and printer no longer works, driver is no longer available from apple or epson.l

When i go to the epson website it says the printer driver is available from apple. When i go to the printer selection it sees the printer but says that apple has no drivers for this printer. In the updates section of the app store it shows that the printer driver was update yesterday.

If you're sure you tried all of these steps and the issue persists, contact Apple technical support

HP Laserjet 4100n network printer driver fails to install

I am trying to install the printer driver for an HP 4100n laserjet on an XP machine. I have downloaded the file "hp LaserJet 4100 Printing System (61.3 MB) from the HP web site. First issue is that upon executing the setup exe file the InstallShield stops at 99%. I have to end it via Windows Task manager. Occassionally I can get to 100% but I have no idea why only occassionally. If I boot into Safe Mode I get to 100% everytime.
Once in Safe Mode the wizard seems to operate properly, finding the printer on the network and returning the correct TCP address. I get to the end of the wizard and I get a Sever Error message and the wizard terminates.
I have two laptops and one other desktop connected to the 4100n via the network. I must be doing something wrong and could use some suggestions.
Thanks

Is there a Macintosh OS 8.6 or 9.0.4 printer driver for an HP PSC 2355?

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
I know this is very old {don't laugh}, but I was looking for a Macintosh OS 8.6 or 9.0.4 printer driver for my recently purchased HP PSC 2355 All-in-One printer.
I run OS X 10.5.8 on an Apple iBook G4 and also run a Mac OS 9.0.4 emulator on it called SheepShaver. Trouble is SheepShaver will only run up to Mac OS 9.0.4 and the HP PSC 2355 minimum drivers are for Mac OS 9.1.
I would love to be able to print from SheepShaver and the scanner features are unimportant to me under Mac OS 9.
Are there printing drivers (even from a different, but compatible printer) that would allow me to print from this printer under Mac OS 9.0.4?
Thank you so much!

Hello,
When you say you recently purchased the PSC 2355, i believe this is a very old printer.
I am not sure on how the SheepShaver works but we do have the printer driver available for 10.9 on hp.com. The first link mentioned below will take to the product page. Rest all are some of the InkJet and DeskJet drivers.

How to Install 64-bit "Generic / Text Only" print driver on a 32-bit Windows 2003 Server?

Hi All,
In a nutshell, I need to Install the 64-bit Generic / Text Only print driver on a 32-bit Windows 2003 Server’s “Generic / Text Only 32-bit print queue.
The problem is that there is no Driver-Disk to get the drivers. I’ve been able to isolate 14 files related to the 64 bit drivers from a Windows 7 x64 computer and copy them to a temp folder on the Windows 2003 x32 server. When I try to add the 64 bit driver
to the Windows 2003 x32 server, it wants a *.inf file, which I don’t have and can’t find.
Because Microsoft will no longer support Windows XP, my client is replacing all of their Point-of-Sale Windows XP x32 systems with Windows 7 x64. They use Terminal Services (Remote Desktop) to connect to a Windows 2003 x32 server to use the POS system. The
POS software redirects LPT1 back to the local Generic / Text Only printer. This works great for XP x32.
When we use the Terminal Services POS software on the new Windows 7 x64 system, none of the labels print out because it’s redirected in 32-bit back to the local Windows 7 x64 Generic / Text Only 64-bit printer.
This will be a huge issue for me if I can’t get this to work.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and help! -Rob

Adobe PDF Printer not working as print driver; 9.5.5 (pro) with Windows 7, 64 bit

I have installed, repaired, uninstalled and re-installed Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 on a newly formatted SSD with Windows 7, 64 bit on my desktop machine. The program was installed from Acrobat Pro 9.0.0 and updated within the program. I have the program also installed on my laptop, and the Adobe PDF Printer driver is working properly on my laptop.
On my desktop with the newly formatted SSD, the Adobe PDF printer driver is not working. Note that I am using the printer driver, and not any pdf creation techniques within MS Office or other programs.
When I go to the Adobe PDF printing preferences on my desktop, I only get a generic, two tab window open. When I print a file to this printer on my desktop machine, I do not get a window opening that asks where to create the pdf or what to name it, and I never see any files created. In MS Word, the Create PDF option under the Acrobat tab works and opens a dialog to ask the name and location to save, and then opens a PDF Maker progress window and properly creates the file. I can also save a file as an .eps or .ps file and use Distiller to create the pdf. However I cannot get the Adobe PDF printer driver in my Devices and Printers to work properly, although it works just fine on my laptop with the same program (Pro 9.5.5) and same Windows version (7, 64 bit).
Repairing, uninstalling and re-installing does not solve the problem. Acrotray.exe *32 process is running. Any ideas on why this won't run properly on my desktop, but will run on a similarly configured laptop?
On my laptop, I get a full, (7) tabl menu with all the normal options:

I found this answer from Deepak Chauhan on another forum, and it solved this problem!
Try this to add Adobe PDF printer manually on Windows 7, and Windows Vista.
If windows 7 is Enterprise or better edition: (Admin rights required)
Start>search for printmanagement.msc and open the print management module
Expand the print server and expand the computer name to see availbale printers, drivers and printer ports.
- from printers ensure there's no Adobe PDF printer, if there is delete it
- go to ports and delete the PDF ports (the ones ending in *.pdf)
- go to drivers and delete the PDF converter.
Take note if any errors occur, but continue with the following steps regardless.
If on windows 7 home edition, just goto start>Devices and Printers and ensure PDF pritner is not listed.
Then open the registry (if any erors deleting these keys happen, see below)
1: go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Printers
delete any adobe PDF printer subkey present
2: go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors
delee the PDF port monitor if present
3: go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers
again delete and pdf printer subkey
If any erros occur, you need to set the owner of the key to the currently logged in admin user, then ensure that user has full control.
Do this by right-click the key and selecting permissions, clicking on advanced, then the owner tab.
Once you've all that has been done, open a command line as administrator.
Copy and pate the following commands in order
1: net stop spooler
2: rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection AdobePDFPortMonitor 128 C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AdobePDF.inf
3: net start spooler
4:rundll32.exe printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /if /b "Adobe PDF" /f "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Xtras\AdobePDF\AdobePDF.inf" /r "Documents\*.pdf" /m "Adobe PDF Converter"
That should set back the pdf printer.
This seemed to provide the link that provided the Adobe PDF Settings tab to the Adobe PDF Printing Preferences that was missing!

HP Cloud Print Driver for Windows Server 2003?

Hello,
I have a unique (complicated) situation that I am trying to find a solution for.
Here is the deal,
My company is trying to set up a temporary remote branch location inside a building where we are unable to wire a network. Our solution is to use a wireless hotspot. Connected to this hotspot, we will have an iPad and an HP Laserjet M525.
The iPad will be connecting to our Citrix environment over VPN through Citrix Receiver to deliver a desktop interface to the iPad. This is needed to access a few applications that are used at the branch.
The problem now is printing, AirPrint wont work because the iPad is on VPN (and its at a windows interface, not the iPad's).
I had the idea of using the HP printers built in ePrint function to print, so I set that up. So now sending at email to [email protected] prints to the HP printer attached to the wireless hotspot.
Emaling to print works, but ideally, I would like this printer to show up in the Windows Devices and Printers, so that the user can just click print, choose the HP printer, and it will print, (with a delay obviously as its sending an email).
So I downloaded the HP ePrint Windows Driver, which has to be installed on the main Citrix servers so that the users session can grab the printer and use it, turns out the driver doesnt work on Windows Server 2003.
My first attempt at a workaround was Google Cloud Print, which was fairly simple to connect to HP ePrint, but apparently the Google Cloud Print Driver doesnt work on Windows Server 2003 either.
Is there a version of the HP ePrint Driver out there that works on Windows Server 2003?
tldr:
I would like to print to a remote HP printer that is connected to a wifi hotspot from our internal network. I need whatever software I download to be compatible with Server 2003.
I understand this is over complicated but thanks for any input.

I believe I understand your issue. You would like to use a print driver to print to your HP ePrint enabled printer from your apps that are hosted by Citrix server. While I believe this makes perfect sense, HP does not have a print driver that officially supports MS TS or Citrix that also supports the ePrint Cloud path. The reason for this is the ePrint windows driver is a "dynamic" print driver (similar to HP UPD dynamic mode) that handles multiple print paths (tcp/ip, wireless direct, cloud, etc) in a single driver instance by dynamically changing the port the print queue is bound to so the port is specific to the delivery path. For example, if printing to a network printer it will use a MS Standard tcp/ip port. If printing to the ePrint cloud a custom port is used, etc. Well, if you have lots of Citrix users trying to print to a single print queue, but to different destinations, the users would be colliding with each other when they print by having the driver trying to change the print queue to different print ports at the same time.
What you could do is install an ePrint print queue on the citrix server if you can control the access to that queue to just your local branch users. Also, if you only have on ePrint enabled printer the situation is even better as only one port will be needed by that queue. You can find the ePrint software at www.hp.com/go/eprintsoftware You might want to download the version of the driver that supports XP as Windows 2003 is very similar print system.
NOTE: this is not a supported environment for this driver. You would be using it without warrenty or support and no promises are being made here.
Good luck if you choose this path and please post back the results. Thanks!
