Cannot Scan with Network Connected HP Color Laserjet 2840 MFP

Just acquired Lenovo T530 which comes with Windoze 7 installed. My SOHO printer is an HP 2840 connected on LAN and I was able to use scanner function without problems from previous laptop running Win XP.
New laptop total failure as it doesn't see the scanner. Have spent many hours updating and searching for solutions but without any luck. Quite a few postings on topic come up in Google but no solutions. HP site useless as the links go in a loop without getting to an answer.
As T530 is brand new and under warranty I had assumed I would be able to ask Lenovo for help but cannot find how.
Meanwhile if anybody has solution please help.

Hi Budgie_one, a late welcome to the forum,
I have the same problem with my HP CM1017 colour laserjet multi-function, worked brilliant with XP but unfortunately HP never brought out scanner drivers to work with Win7, printing was all Ok.
I spent ages searching the HP forums where the proposed solution was to install the drivers in compatability mode, which never worked for me, so I gave up and ended up installing the thing in Win7 XP mode. If I need to scan I just start the XP mode and all works as planned.

Mac cannot detect scanner option on HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw after trying every method

Hello,
I have recently purchased the new printer HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw and I am having a lot of trouble trying to scan. I have spend hours trying to fix this.
I have tried all the methods on this website, (trying through preview, printers and scanners (no scanner option showing) image capture, etc. I have also installed all the necessary drivers with no luck (CD and from HP website)
Then I tried all the other methods that were listed, I have tried restarting, deleting drivers and proceeding through image capture, preview and sanner and printers, it just does not have scan option anywhere.
The printer is working fine though, and I am connected to the printer through wifi
I do not know what else to try, please help.
Kinds regards
Zhanna

Hi @student ,
I see by your post that you aren't able to scan through the wireless network. I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
When you added the printer, did you add it as a Bonjour printer or did you have to type in the IP address and add it through IP Protocal? The reason I am asking is because when adding the printer through IP Protocal you can only print, your not able to scan with the printer added this way.
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. It should list just the printer's name. (HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw )
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen should show the name.
If the printer name isn't listed properly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver. (you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in)
If you are still having issues, uninstall the printer software.
Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Close all applications.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
Restart the computer.
Empty the trash.
Reset the Printing System:
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Click the Apple icon and then click System Preferences.
Click Printers & Scanners.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system.
Then install the printer software again. HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M176/M177 Series Software.
If the issue persists, connect the printer directly to the Mac and try and scan through a USB connection. Just to rule out a network issue.
Please let me know the outcome.
Have a fantastic day!

Un able to install Scan to Email app on Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw

Hello!
I recently purchased Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw as my home printer.
Main thing i was looking for was Scan to Email feature.
As I read in specifications provided in this product description I see:
http://www.shopping.hp.com/shopping/pdf/cz165a.pdf
Digital sending standard features: Scan to E-mail by HP SW; scan to application by HP SW ; scan to file by HP SW
Once I try to install Scan to Email app i get following message once i try to install app:
What is wrong, that i cannot install app that was one of main choice points of this printer.
TWAIN and using computer scanning process is clear, so no need instructions how to scan using computer.
I especially need fucntion that i scan document on printer, then enter email and its emailed.
Thank You in advance for clarification,
Martins

Hi MrJansons,

Will the scan function of an HP Color LaserJet CM2320nf MFP work with Lion?

I have a Macbook Air connected to a Windows Small Business Server 2003. I can print on the HP 2320 fine with the Print & Scan utility, however the utility won't recognize the HP as a scanner. The forums I have read on Apple regarding other HP all in one printers is that they can't scan. HP's support forum is iffy at best; some locations indicating that a fix is due "late 2011", but sending me in a circular link pattern to find a solution. I have tried downloading the HP LaserJet AiO/HP Director to no avail, even connecting directly to the printer/scanner via USB. Downloading the drivers doesn't resolve.
Based on this HP link, I believe that scanning isn't supported. I am dumbfounded by this.
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c02950970 #A2

The product you have seems to be a commercial printer. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!
You may find the Commercial Laserjet board here.

Ipad wireless connection to Color Laserjet pro MFP M177

Struggling on set up. The printer seems to require a network through which to wirelessly connect to my IPAD. But my IPAD runs on 3G and is not part of any network in my office. I already have the IPAD connecting to a HP printer at home where there is a network, but not at my office location. so ive already got the HP eprint App up and running, but it cant identify the printer, which is switched on (but which is asking for me to select a network). So can anyone direct me as to how I wirelessly (no other way with an IPAD) connect my IPAD to my brand new Laserjetc Pro MFP printer ? Mny tks
This question was solved.

Hi,
You should either plug the printer to your network via an Ethernet cable or wirelessly by running the installation on a PC, then connect the iPad to the same wireless network as the printer.
If you do not have a wireless network at the office you may also use the Wireless Direct feature of the printer by following these steps:

Scan to email on Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw

I am trying to download the Printable "Scan to Email" onto my Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw but It keeps throwing an error?
When I bought the printer (yesterday) i was told that I could set it up to Scan in a document and have it automatically send out as an email to a recipient. How do I accomplish this?
thanks!

My old unit the OfficeJet 6500 could do this - i cannot believe the newer tech cannot. Please tell me what i'm doing wrong and please do not ask me to walk to a PC and run special software. Use the scenario above - thank you

HP Color Laserjet PRO MFP M177FW Cannot connect to web services

I bought a HP Color Laserjet PRO MFP M177FW today and I set up it. It can print and scan over wireless network. However, It cannot connect to web services correctly. I set the DNS numbers with google DNS addresses. I changed its IP address with manually. The IP address is unique. Normally It doesn't enable/remove webservices. But when I restart it, it can do for few minutes. It can take an e-mail address but It doesn't print any information sheet. When I try to print a sheet It says "Connection Problem" at first few minutes and later it says "Connecting"and it waits, there is no error message. What am I suppossed to do? Please help me.

Cannot scan from HP Color Laserjet 2840 All In One Any Ideas?

I have a Mac Book Pro with OS 10.5.8 on it. I recently had my MAC in for service and a full reinstall of the OS was necessary. I was hoping that once I reinstalled the OS and other programs that everything would work. Apparently I was wrong. I could get my HP Color LaserJet 2840 printer working, however I was unable to get the scanning feature to work to scan documents into a folder on my computer. I tried uninstalling and re-installing to no avail. I looked inside the HP Director program and it showed that no Scanner or Utilities could be accessed. They were greyed out. Everything in HP Director was greyed out. I took a look at the connections on the printer, restarted the printer a couple times, nothing worked. My printer is connected through my network. I am unsure what to try next. Any ideas?

Have you installed this driver?

HP Color Laserjet CM1312nfi MFP cannot scan

Dear HP support,
I use a MacBook and my printer is an HP Color Laserjet CM1312nfi MFP. When doing the HP setup assitant I connect the printer to the MacBook with a USB cable but the assistant does not recognize the printer and I cannot carry on with the setup process. What do I need to do? My OSX version is 10.10.2
kind regards.

Hi,
Scanning is no longer supported on Yosemite, only printing and faxing are available for the operating system as you may find listed by this chart for the HP Color LaserJet CM1312 MFP Series:
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201465#HP
The HP setup assitant is not a part of the software provided for 10.10, it is intended for older verisons of the OS and therefore it does not work
You may try the 3rd party Vuescan scanning software which seems to support your scanner with no need for any other driver:

HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw cannot scan or copy

My HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw cannot scan or copy. Screen on the printer just show calibrating only
Bsically an't scan or copy, the printer is just showing a message on the display of "calibrating".
Thank you for help

Hi @Ern88 , I can help you with not being able to scan or copy. The printer is showing that it is stuck calibrating.
I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
Try to make a copy again.

My itunes account shuts down for no reason. It wont recognize my iphone and there is an issue with network connectivity and itunes. I have already reinstalled itunes and did a syste restore on my computer, firewall checked and virus scan done. Ideas??

My itunes account on windows xp shuts down for no reason. If even try to delete something from my library it shuts down. It wont recognize my iphone and there is an issue with network connectivity and I can't connect to the store. I have already reinstalled itunes and did a system restore on my computer, firewall has been checked, itunes is ok on firewall and virus scan done. Ideas??

Same problem. I can see the itunes store so not a problem with windows firewall. The account is active on my iphone so i know i am not locked out. I can connect the PC to my iphone so i know itunes is working ok. It is just logging into itunes on this pc which doesn't work. Only thing I can think of is that the email address I use for my apple id has been offline for a while and is working again now, I'm wondering whether this has been the case for others who are having this issue?

Just installed a HP Color Laserjet CM2320nf MFP printer, at the same time I upgraded to Lion. It prints fine, but I cannot use the scan functions. I downloaded the most recent driver! Any help would be appreciated.

HP says that the drivers for your all in one print/scanner are downloadable from apple. For the scanner to use preview. image capture or the scan icon from the print driver queue. I don't know how old your HP is, but I know that the newer Os from apple don't support a lot of older printers. You might be able find a third party driver that could work.

HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw Scanning

I bought and jsut setup an HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw.
We are a Mac household, and we connect via wireless to the printer, which works great.
My issue is scanning. On the little screen on the printer, I can copy, print and even fax. No option for scanning. There is some bullsh*t app that I've had to download via HP called Readiris, which is useless. There is no apparent way to initiate a scan via this app.
So I've bought a multifunction printer that doesn't scan. Any help?

It doesn't scan?!
Below is the text from the first page of the first link one clicks on about this printer. How _on earth_ is one supposed to deduce pre-purchase that it doesn't scan from the main menu? Argh. As an HP employee myself, this is aggravating in the extreme.
Ok, venting aside, this link <http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03967506#N229> is not offering a solution.
I am running OSX 10.9.1. I am unable to find the Full Driver to donwload in order to connect to this printer in a manner that would enable any of the 3 methods of scanning (Via Preview, Image Capture, etc.) to work. Can you please provide a link to the Full Driver for this MFP M177fw for Mac OSX 10.9? Thanks.

HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw Not working with Fedora 14

Our ERP is compactible up to Fedora 14. But I newly purchased Printer(
HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw) is not working with this OS.
Give me a urgent solution

Hi @HealthITLadyRed,
I read your post and see that the printer is making noise and is stuck initializing. I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
I have provided some steps to try to see if we can resolve this issue.
Check and remove any packaging material inside the printer and toner.
Disconnect the USB/Network/FAX and power the printer on Standalone.
Do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
If the issue persists, perform a power drain by disconnecting the power cord from the back of the printer and keeping the power button pressed for 30 seconds and in case of a power switch keep the switch in ON position for 30 seconds before reconnecting the power chord.
Update the printer's firmware by a USB connection. Software and Drivers.
Select Option 2 and wait for the page to load and then select the link for firmware. This resolved the previous posters issue.
I can send a private message with another step to try.
In the forum beside your handle name just click on the envelope to view it.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
What happened prior to this issue? (paper jam, changed toner) Any feedback would be appreciated.
Is this a new printer?
