Can't Scan from OfficeJet 4500 AIO over Network

My home network setup:
Cisco E2100L router
Directly connected to my OfficeJet 4500 (non-wireless) via Cat6.
Wirelessly Connected:
My MacBook C2D running Snow Leopard (10.6.4) with most current HP drivers from Apple and current software+drivers for the AIO installed from HP's website.
My wife's Vista laptop, HP Pavillion DV6000 series, current Windows updates and current HP software+drivers for the AIO installed from HP's website.
My home server, homebrewed Athlon X4 running Ubuntu 10.10 (just upgraded) with no HP software or drivers for the AIO installed.
All three machines can print to the AIO. All three can see and setup to use the printer as a default printer and can access the AIO's webserver (to view up status, supplies, etc.).
My problem: My Macbook and my wife's Windows laptop cannot scan from the AIO. My Ubuntu server somehow can. The last is what weirds me out the most, but as the first two deal with HP's software, that's where my focus is.
I've tried completely removing all software/drivers from each of the laptops, powered off the AIO, installed all the software again from scratch (with most current download from HP) and had the same results; can print, no scan. I'm out of ideas on what to do. Can anyone please help me out?

I even got the HP iPrint 3.0 app, and it doesn't work either! Then I found out my Officejet is not compatible:

Can you scan w/officejet 4500 to Windows 8.1RT surface

We checked the window8.1 rt compatibility to see if the the HP Officejet 4500 Wireless All-in-One G510n to z printer would work on the Surface (since our 4400 would not). The 4500 is compatible. We got the wireless network set up, got the printer on the network and we can print wirelessly - yeah! BUT we can not scan. The HP Scan and Capture App only lets us use the camera to "scan" the document. We would prefer to use the glass to scan documents (they come out better). We have looked all over the web for solutions, some say to enable EWS - We accessed the printer via its IP address, but we don't see the "scan" tab all the sources say to access.
Is it possible to scan using the HP Officejet 4500 Wireless All-in-One G510n to z to a Windows Surface (8.1rt)?
(FYI we can't update any drivers, windows RT platform does not allow it and we don't have any other computer to work from.)
Thanks

Hi jacorcoran. Scanning should be possible with built in scanning capability. This document shows 2 different ways to scan in the "Windows RT" section.
How to Scan: Windows RT or Windows 8 Tablets:

If this doesn't allow for scanning, the printer's scanning component will need to be troubleshot. Make sure you can do a stand alone copy (direct from the front of the printer) to ensure the scanning hardware is functioning. Let me know how it goes.

Can't scan on Officejet 4630 all-in-one

Hi all - help required please.
Recently bought an Officejet 4630 All-in-One Printer and had nothing but trouble setting it up and using it. After several set up attempts, all is just about in order although I still can't scan from the control panel on the machine (I can only scan by going through 'system preferences' under the apple icon). Every time I try to scan from the machine's control panel (as opposed to going through system preferences), using either the wireless network (Airscan or whatever it is called) or the USB cable, I receive the following message on my laptop screen:
Task not Available
The "Photo (JPEG)" task found on your device is not available on your system. Please select another task.
The same thing happens if I try to scan to PDF. I am using an old (c.2007 MacBook Pro) that runs of OSX10.9.5 Mavericks. Internet connectivity is not a problem as we have good cable broadband. All I want to do is scan directly from the printer to my computer, preferably using a wireless connection. Please help.
Thanks

I can't scan from my HP Photosmart C4440; not direct from the scanner to pc nor vice versa

I can't scan from my HP Photosmart C4440; not direct from the scanner to pc nor vice versa, Please help me ASAP, Thanks everyone, I'm stuck with a homework!

Hello @Roberto3 , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are having issues scanning. I'd like to help!
Are you able to make a copy as opposed to a scan?
Do you have any errors come up when scanning?
I'd recommend starting with a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would also recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Can't scan from Office Jet Pro 8600

I can't scan from my Office Jet Pro 8600. I'm connected to my home Verizon Fios wireless network. I'm running Windows XP. The printer works fine, but I can't scan. When I use the display on the printer I get a "No Computer Found" message. When I go to find the scanner on the Control Panel/Scanners & Cameras - I can see the printer listed, but when I click on the printer, I get a message that reads: "The scanning software could not be found, or your scanner is not connected. Please make sure your scanner & your scanner software are properly installed." So then I use the HP Print & Scan Doctor to download to "Get Installer" presumably to download the software. After the software downloads, there is no difference. I still can scan, & the network is not seeing the scanner. What gives?

Hello,
I see that an issue has popped up that pertains to NOT being able to scan.
Please click on the following link that troubleshoots A 'Connection Error' or 'No Computer Detected' Error Message Displays during Scanning.
Please feel free to write back with any additional questions or concerns.
Thank you.

I am logged on to a wifi and can see files from other users on this network. Can they see my files as well?

Yes and no. It depends on your settings.
Go into "System Preference" and click on "Sharing"
If you have services checked such as "File Sharing" then others can see your computer on the network. But you really don't need to worry because others would need your username and password to have access to your files.
What you see are just computers annousing themselfs on the network. To have access to said computers, Username and Passwords are required.
Hope this helps

Can't scan from printer control panel - Officejet 8600a

I receive a "can't scan, print or copy" error message when attempting to scan to e-mail or send a scanned image to external media (USB). However, scanning from the laptop works well. What could be the issue?

Hi @KrisSordo
Are you seeing this, "can't scan, print or copy" error message, on the computer or on the printer screen? Please also let me know how you are initiating these tasks so I can better understand when the message appears.
In the meantime, do you have the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or is it in a surge protector or power bar? Even if you have been using a surge protector/power bar all this time and you feel it is not the cause, please connect it to a wall outlet just so we can eliminate the power source as the root cause. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector
In this document you will see, ISSUE: Problems or issues may arise when an HP LaserJet series printer is connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), a power strip, or a surge protector
^ This is not limited to Laserjet printers.
Also, have you by chance checked for Firmware updates? If not, please take a look at the following link; HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g_n Firmware < this is for the plus and Premium models.

Can not scan from mx4890dw buttons, only from the computer

Hello,
I got this Canon AIO a few days ago. I followed the start up guide instructions, got it signed on to the wireless net work easily enough, and installed the software from the CD onto a Win 7 64 bit Dell laptop.
Printing worked perfectly from the get go. Also, "Copy" seems to be working fine. Fax appears to be working, although I can't confirm yet that a fax has gone through ( no one is at work ) and I may have some questions later about how to send and receive fax when sharing a phone jack with a Comcast modem/cable set up. And how to get it to accept faxs while ignoring voice calls.
As for Scan, after I figured out that I had to push the scan button and choose "remote scanner" ( I push the scan button/Remote scanner/ buttons, get the message "waiting" and then operate from the computer) the scan function worked perfectly, in single and duplex, when controlled FROM the computer and Canon MFC toolbox software. But for the life of me I can not get it to scan from the Canon mx4890dw buttons. I push Scan, then "computer", then I select my computer ( there is only one computer), then either color or BW scan. All seems OK until here. But after I select color or BW, I get a screen that says :"Scanning" with the choice to either cancel or "confirm destination". I select Confirm destination, which then takes me to a screen which says: Confirm destination" showing both the name of my computer and "color scan". That is it, as far as I can go. If I press "OK" it just takes me back to a choice of confirm or cancel. I am trapped in a cycle between these last 2 screens. Once I get to the next to last screen that says "Scanning: cancel or confirm destination", the processing data light starts flashing green. After a minute or so it will stop flashing with the message "an error has occurred/CLOSE". Oh, BTW, I have registered the scanner on the Canon MF Network Scan Utility.
So, I figure there is some button I am failing to push, or I am missing a step. Any one have any ideas on how to get this to scan from the Canon machine?
Thanks
Bill

Thank you Deborah, but after many hours of trial and error, time spent with Norton 360 AV/Firewall folks, many install/uninstalls ( especially after I saw on the E-manual that if you plug a cable from the printer into the computer, and you want to go back to wireless, you must uninstall/reinstall the software), the problem is finally apparently completely solved.
I found what I thought might be the problem by accident. When I last got off the phone with Canon, all they had to suggest was that it was either a Norton or firewall issue, or possibly a computer issue, and nothing they could really do or suggest about that. I accepted this, but while wondering what in the world I was going to do, it dawned on me that my previous Kodak all in one( that this machine replaced) had worked fine, with no scanner problems at all, with this computer, Norton and network. So it seemed like it had to be something other than those things. And I believe a Canon inkjet all in one before the Kodak had also worked with no issues scan wise.
Then I decided to try something else on a whim: I cranked up my old Acer Win XP and installed the software, and guess what happened? Perfect function in all ways from the printer/scanner. Scanned perfectly from the Canon using the panel buttons on the printer. And over the wireless network on an old computer using the same Norton Firewall as my Dell. So it now seemed impossible that it could be the network or firewall. It had to be the only variable, the computer or someway the canon was in conflict with the Win 7 Dell. I bet you can see where this is going! So I go to the online support for Canon and sure enough there are Windows 7 drivers for download as well as a firmware update. So I down load these and clock on them, but as far asd I can tell, nothing happens. It appears they did not complete installation.
So the next day I am back on the phone with Canon. Asking in desperation if they can think of anything before I return this machine back to Staples and get something else, which I really hated to do, but I can't take any more of this, as now it had stopped printing also( but all still hunky dory on the Acer!). But this time, the person I am talking to quickly asks if I am trying to install wireless, and says "hold on while I get you to the wireless guys". The wireless expert listens to my problems and quickly says "did you download the Win 7X64 driver?". I said I had tried but it didn't seem to do much. So he has me download it again and shows me the trick: when you click on the download, it creates a folder somewhere else where the driver is actually stored. I click on that driver, and 10 minutes later all is working perfectly. In fact, before I even hang up with the wireless guy, I press the buttons on the Canon and scan quickly to the computer.
So for now all seems perfect, just as it was immediately once I tried it on the Windows XP machine. So I suggest that this be the first thing suggested when folks are having trouble installing on a Win 7 computer. In fact, I have since noticed there is a sheet of paper that came with the canon that advises downloading drivers for Mac computers. Too bad it didn't mention this for for Win 7 also, since apparently at least some of the installation CDs don't include these drivers.
Now I am wondering if I should try and do the firmware update? Kind of afraid to fix what ain't broke.

Can't scan from wireless networked Pixma MP640

I just hooked up a new Canon MP 640 via wireless network through my Airport Extreme. Printing works fine, but when I try to scan to my Macbook the printer can't find it over the network. It will only scan to the Macbook with a direct USB connection. I can't find any documentation that suggests that scanning doesn't work over a network connection. Any help?

First of all, even though you mention network scanning, I am not sure if you have the printer using the internal wireless support or if you have it connected to the USB port of the Airport Extreme. Some users interpretation of network connections vary. So if you do have it connected to the USB port of the Extreme, then scanning is not supported. This is a limitation of Airport devices.
If however you have configured the MP640 to connect to the Extreme via wireless and you are trying to initiate the scan from the MP640 to the Mac using the Scan button, then you need to have the [Canon IJ Network Tool v2.70|http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0200080802.html] installed on the Mac.
Also, if you want MP Navigator to open when you use the MP640 Scan button, you need to install [MP Navigator Opener v3.0|http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0200087801.html] on the Mac.
Note that for the network scanner, there should be a separate MP640 entry under the heading of Scanners within the list of devices in Print & Fax. With this MP640 selected, you will have the Open Scanner button visible in the right hand pane. If you click this button, the MP640 scanner window will appear and attempt to connect to the AIO. Does this occur for you?
