Can't get HP 8620 all-in-one to scan to computer. Advice?

I just bought a new printer/scanner/fax - HP 8620 all-in-one.
I have Mac OSX 10.9.3 and the most up to date drivers/software from the HP website (april 2014).  I have connected the printer via ethernet cable to our wireless router.
I have installed as per intructions.  When I go to HP utilities, I have been able to set up "scan to email" but not "scan to computer". Keeps saying that "scan to computer" software is not available and that I need to go to hp support website to download the latest version (which I already have).
Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling - no help.
Any advice?

You can't use the scan button on the printer. You have to start the scan from OS X.

  • How can I get my canon all in one to scan in maverick

    After upgrade to maverick and updating drivers, the scanner in my Canon mp990 won't work. MP navigator keeps crashing. I have tried adding the scanner part in as a seperat item in the list but that won't work . Frien has same Canon problem. Suggestions?

    (Sorry, I mistyped a 5 instead of MP Navigator 3 in my prior response.)
    And you saw the note about needing to set up Navigator Opener with Image Capture before scanning using the Operation Panel or Scanner Buttons OS X 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9? I think that's if you want to use the scanner buttons directly on the machine while saving the scan to your computer, rather than scanning from the MP Navigator control screen on the computer, but it couldn't hurt.
    I don't own an MP990 but my MG5320 began working on Mavericks once I downloaded and then installed all the updated software dmg files by double-clicking and the updated MP Navigator EX and EX opener.
    Previously, I was on OS X 10.6.8.
    If everything is installed correctly, I think you should see both a Print and a Scan selection button above the printer description in , System Preferences, Hardware, Printers and Scanners
    I have my current printer installed twice, once with USB and once with WiFi.  As you can see below, the USB version does NOT show the Scan button for the USB connection (because the printer is not connected via USB at the moment)
    And as a last resort, you could try resetting the print system.
    Note that ALL saved print 'Presets' you have configured will all need to be documented before re-setting and then re-created after resetting the print system, that's why it's listed as a last resort. I usually end up with a dozen or so Presets I create for the jobs I use all the time (Fast duplex, fast 2-up duplex, legal landscape, Matte Photo paper, 4x6 borderless, and so on, but I've recreated them so often that I remember most of the settings and don't have to write everything down.

  • 7520 All In One not scanning from computer

    I have a 7520 all in one printer.  I can scan from the printer to my  computer with no problems, I can print from my computer with no  problems.  I have always been able to control scanning from my computer when I put a picture on the printer without any issues.   The HP Photosmart icon on my desktop is there but I cannot open it.  I've tried opening it from the Start Menu and I still can't open it.  Now I've tried going to the HP Solutions Center and when I click on that it says it cannot run b/c installation is not complete.  (I've had this printer for a almost a year and this just happened out of the blue.)
    I uninstalled the printer then reinstalled it again.  I unplugged my printer and my wireless router and retstarted both, all to no avail.  My software is updated and I've run Scan Doctor and everything is in working order. 
    I simply cannot open HP Photosmart from my computer.

    Hi @FinnGirl47,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand that you cannot scan from the computer with your HP Photosmart 7520, and I am happy to help! 
    For further assistance, I will need to know: If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos, also if the printer is able to make copies.
    In the meantime, please try going through this scanning guide, A 'No Computer Detected' or 'Connection Error' Message Displays during Scanning.
    Thank you for posting!

  • My ical is showing "on my mac" "iCloud" and "yahoo" calendars. I just want one calendar that will sync up to my iPhone. How can I get rid of all these Calendars???

    My ical is showing "on my mac" "iCloud" and "yahoo" calendars. I just want one calendar that will sync up to my iPhone. How can I get rid of all these Calendars??

    'On My Mac' and Yahoo calendars won't sync to iCloud. You can move them to iCloud, but then Yahoo will lose contact with its calendars. if you are happy to sync onlly with iCloud, and thus to your iPhone, you can move the calendars: you will have to do it one at a time, and the process is just a trifle convoluted - it's described in the first set of numbered instructions here:

  • Officejet Pro 8620 All in One Will No Longer Scan in Color

    Hello,
    I have an Officejet Pro 8620 all in one.  I was scanning a few items last night and the first few items came out in color fine. Then all of the sudden as I continued to scan the next few images would only scan in black and white.  I cannot seem to get the scanner to scan in color again.  How can I fix this?  I did not change any settings or anything while I was scanning so I do not know why the sudden change to black and white?  I am on a Mac computer with all newest operating system etc.  
    Thanks in advance

    Hi there
    I have some more suggestions for you to try. Please try them in order I have written them in.
    Reset the printing system
    Repair disk permissions
    Restart the Mac
    Install the Full Feature Driver here: HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers
    In addition, download this Apple driver: HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X
    That should do the trick!
    Good luck

  • HT2905 I have multiple album titles of the same name with different artists. How can I get them to go under one album title again?

    I have multiple album titles of the same name with different artists. How can I get them to go under one album title again?

    In iTunes(on a Mac or PC) just tap on 'Albums' rather than 'Artists' and you'll see them all together.
    You may find that there are songs mislabelled. In which case right tap on the Album or Artist and tap 'Get Info', then change to the correct name and the songs will join the rest of the songs for that Artist or Album.
    Then resync with your iPhone and all will be well.

  • Can I get rid of all the passwords in my phone, and just turn it on?

    Can I get rid of all the passwords in my phone, and just turn it on?

    If you're referring to activation lock, no. If the phone is activation locked, you can not activate it without the credentials originally used to lock it.
    Why don't you explain exactly what the problem is.
    If you have a passcode set and don't want one, then set up Touch ID to make it faster for you to access the phone. Turning off the lock screen passcode entirely is not smart.

  • HP 8620 all-in-one: scanner becomes unavailable in print queue window when computer sleeps

    I just bought a new printer/scanner/fax - HP 8620 all-in-one.  I have Mac OSX 10.9.3 and the most up to date drivers/software from the HP website (april 2014).  I have connected the printer via ethernet cable to our wireless router.  I have installed as per intructions.
    When my computer goes to sleep, or the printer goes to sleep, I will return to the computer to find that the "scanner" is not available (ie greyed out when I go to "open scanner" in the print queue or system preferences, or try to use "HP scan". I tried a few things, like uninstall/reinstalling, and have worked out that if I reboot my computer the scanner option seems to "whiten" again (ie become available).
    Is there a way to prevent this happening???? I don't have time to be rebooting every time I need to use the scanner!

    You can't use the scan button on the printer. You have to start the scan from OS X.

    Also, you need to have activated the computer for use with itunes. Why that's not done when you install is a mystery.
    Because you don't need an iTunes account tio use or install iTunes.
    You cannot authorize the computer until you have an account because that's what you are authorizing.
    Note, you can only have 5 active computers, but you can deactivate all of them.
    You can have 5 computers authorized at any one time. You can only select Deauthorize all when you do hae 5 authorized and you can only do it one time per year.
    Next, create/update your itunes account.
    Again you cannot "activate" (which is authorize) unless you have an iTunes account. So you cannot authorize iTunes and then create an iTunes account.

  • Add memory to a officejet 8620 all in one

    I have an office jet pro 8620 all in one printer..... how do I add memory to it. I am getting fax memory full error messages when I try to send more than a 20 page fax.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    You cannot add a memory to the device, it include a standard size of memory.
    First clear the fax log as following, then try sending the fax again:
    1. From the printer control panel display, touch and slide your finger across the screen and then touch Setup.
    2. Touch Fax Setup, and then touch Fax Tools.
    3. Touch Clear Fax Log.
    Now try sending the fax and check for any difference.
    If the same persists click the Fax option and ensure the resolution being set as "Standard".

  • Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash.  How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder?  I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

    Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash.  How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder?  I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

    Also, when I do try to drag it out of the Trash to put it back into Applications (on the Finder sidebar), it asks me to authenticate with the administration password.  I enter it, and then a window appears saying that I can't do that because I do not have permission to modify iTunes.  Please help.

    If you are referring to the original system reinstall discs that shipped with every Mac before Lion came out you'll need to contact Apple with the serial # of your Mac and order a replacement set of them.
    Or look on one of the Auction websites or places like iFixit.com for a replacement set.
    If your Mac came new with any of the Download Only versions of OS X, Lion, Mt Lion or Mavericks you don't need any discs to reinstall OS X. You use the Online Internet Recovery system or the built in Recovery HD partition inb the internal hard drive.
    For the built in Recovery HD hold down the Command + r keys at startup. For the Online system hold down the Command + Option/Alt + r keys and keep them held down until you see a globe on the screen.

    Some, possibly, but shouldn't be a problem.

    Much of it is OSX and other things needed to run your Mac.

    I've used Brasso to remove minor scratches/scuffs from my Nano and 5th Gen iPod. It works pretty well, and it's available at any hardware store. Your local supermarket might even carry it in the isle with cleaning products.
    I don't know how well it would work for you. Having the iPod dragged around the floor sounds pretty rough. If it has deep scratches, there might not be anything you can do for it.

    Yu can try this program.  If unsuccessful, the contents of the iPod will be deleted if yu update/restore with the iPod in recovery mode.
