Can't scan to the computer

can't scan to the computer but will print and scan to a thumbdrive any idea. when i go to scan to computer it saids offline  running win 8

Hello wsw42, I hope you are enjoying your Wednesday
Thank you for replying with your printers model number. My suggestion for the issue you are having with your Photosmart 6520 showing it's Offline with Windows 8, is to follow the steps in the guide below. Afterwards, you should be able to print without a problem!
'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Will Not Print: Windows 8
Let me know how you make out!

  • I can't scan with my HP Photosmart Plus B210a, I get a "Failed to open a session on the device" message everytime I attempt to scan to the computer.  I'm using the most current driver off the HP website for Mac OSX Lion 10.7

    I can't scan to my computer with my HP Photosmart Plus B2010a, I get a "Failed to open a session on the device" message everytime.  I'm using the most current driver for OS X Lion 10.7 off the HP website.

    I get the same "Failed to open a session on the device" message with Apple Image Capture as I do with the HP Utility software.

  • HP Photosmart 5520. Can't scan to my computer

    HP Photosmart 5520. I can print FROM my computer just fine, but can't scan from the printer TO my computer. Message is "Connection Error." This happens sometimes, but usually I can fix by turning everything off, disconnecting, and starting over. Today nothing works. This is getting tiresome. Printing works fine.  BTW, I do not control the router & can't just turn it on and off. I am not technologically savvy; I just want the thing to work.

    Hi,
    The scan to computer is disabled by default (I don't know why the software girls/guys desinged that way). On my machine, driver for Windows 8 is much better (even same exe file). Please enable it using the following steps (please note: for Windows machines)
       Double click printer icon on desktop,
       Click Manage Scan to Computer,
       Click Enable
    You may want to tick the last square too.
    Regards.

  • My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more.

    My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more. Was working while watching a movie but when I pulled it out from the computer and put it back in the system would no longer mirrorr the screen on the TV.

    The best option is an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.  The evaluation will be for FREE!

    but it is 15th Sep today,how doesn't my computer come to me yet?
    So,how can I check where the computer is at this moment?

    Call the online Apple Store.  You should have received an email with a FedEx tracking # if you are in the US.

  • System Informatio​n - Can Labview tell me the Computer Name/Hardw​are/System Performanc​e

    Hi there,
    Can labview look at the Computer that the program is running on and tell me the system infomation??
    Like, computer name, System performance etc.
    I have it looking at the hard drives and sending me an e-mail to say when they get full.
    But it would be nice to include some system information so i can try to keep track of its health as well.#
    Any ideas??

    Do a google search for environment variables inside windows.
    Here is one website.

    Stick the 10.6 disk into the machine and reboot holding the option/alt key down on a wired/built in keyboard.
    On the second screen, under the Utilities menu is a Password Reset, use it.
    Step by Step to fix your Mac
    What this will do is reset the password and the user account permissions in the process.
    You might have problems with Keychain afterwards, to fix that.

    Try to "Force Quit" Safari - either under the Apple menu or by holding down option-Command-esc.

  • Box asking if Mozilla Firefox can make changes to the computer harddrive

    A box appeared on the screen asking if Mozilla Firefox can make changes to the computer harddrive. I contacted Trend Micro Security and they said Mozilla Firefox wouldn't want to make changes on my harddrive. I have just paid for a technician to remove viruses on my computer so I am now very suspicious of anyone who wants to change the harddrive. Trend Micro again cleared my computer of viruses but I want to know if the box requesting to make changes came from Mozilla.

    Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.<br />
    Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".<br />
    Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.<br />
    * Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected<br />
    * "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected<br />
    Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.<br />

  • Hi. As to me to deactivate 5 computers on which my account in iTunes has been activated. If I at present don't have access to these computers. And on them I didn't do deactivation. On it I can't activate now the computer!

    If you log into your iTunes account you should be able to de-authorise all (which you can only do once every 12 months) - you can then re-authorise the computers that you still have/need : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420

  • Can't transfer pictures, can't stop the process that I have already stopped, can't turn off the computer. Please help

    Hello! I got my computer today and then I wanted to transfer all my pictures from my Iphone to the computer so I could delete the pics on my phone. So I plugged the phone in and started the process. Suddenly it stopped to transfer pictures and was standing still for a long time so I canceled the transferring. Then it asked if I wanted to keep the pictures that were already transferred so I confirmed it twice but the computer didn't react so then I clicked on delete. So I tried to start the process again by plugging the phone in and out one time. I clicked on transfer all but it was saying that they have to finish the first one first that I had canceled. So then I tried with my camera and it still said the same thing. I have tried to close Iphoto but that didn't work either. I can't even turn the computer off because then it says that I have to close Iphoto and I couldn't do that. So everything just stands still right know and I really need to transfer the pictures and I need to turn off the computer. Sorry for the long question but I really need help, hope the question is understandable / Linn
