Cant scan to and from a OfficeJet Pro 8620

I have had this printer for a while connected by WiFi to an iMac and 2 Window 7 PCs. The iMac is my primaray computer however.
I noticed that the iMac disapeared from the "scan to computer" option on the printer, but you could scan from the iMac using the HP Scan App. I could scat to both PC's. After several attempts of fixing the problem scanning to the iMac i used the HO uninstailer app to remove the OfficeJet (and my HP LaserJet)
I installed the latest version of the HP OfficeJet Software (more than once) and now I can scan from or to on the iMac. When i have tride to select the "scan to computer option" I get the same error message
"The HP software required for Scan to Computer could not be located on this computer. Please download and install the latest HP recommended software for your device from http://www.hp.com/support, and then try again.
Now I have compltely uninstalled and reinstalled the software and I still get the same error message so scanning to and from the iMac using the HP software does not work. The printer is visable in System Preference, and I can "open scanner" and scan that way but it's a pain to do each time.
Anyone got any sugestions?
THanks

Hi wfreker,
I see that you cannot scan from your HP Officejet 8625 on Mac OS X 10.10. I am happy to help!
Are you able to make copies with the printer? This way we will no if the issue is hardware related or not.
Otherwise, I would suggest this guide, A 'Computer Not Found' or 'Connection Error' Message Displays for HP Officejet Pro 8610, 8620, 8630,....
Causes
Scan connection errors can occur for the following reasons:
The HP printer software is not installed, or it did not install correctly.
The network connection failed.
The USB connection failed.
A firewall blocked the scan.
Another person on the network is using the scanner.
Hope this helps, and have a nice day!

Officejet Pro 8620 won't print the "full pasted image"contained in a Word 2007 document

Just upgraded and installed for Officejet Pro 8620. Running with Windows 7, 64bitWhen printing a page that includes a image that was copy/ paste, using the snipping tool into the word document, it does not print the "full image". In print Preview the full image appears, but when it prints about 15% of the bottom edge and the right edge of the image is omitted. This was not a problem when printing from the Office jet 8600. It is not a problem of page width or length because text is printing just fine.We removed all prior printing software, and re-installed the new printing software, disabled the printer firewall, and problem still occurs.Please advise what other information is needed. Thanks.

Welcome to the HP Community @SandieKeith , I saw your message about the issues you are having when printing from MS Word.

After updating to ios 8 through itunes, I lost my music and now I cant transfer some music from itunes (macbook pro) to my iphone 4s back. Any idea how can I do that?

After posting this, I've since found out that my iOS iTunes App on my iPhone 6 Plus works all OK when on WiFi, it just won't work when on the data/3/4G connection.
Anybody else having this same issue since updating to iOS 8.3?

HP OfficeJet Pro 8620 Scan to Email Function

HP OfficeJet Pro 8620 is a great value for all the features it provides. "Scan to Email" was one of the reasons i bought this printer. Even though i can make this fucntion work with my gmail and iCloud emails, i feel very uncomfortable in providing those emails credentials while setting up this funciton.
1) Does the printer store the user name/password encrypted?
2) Does EWS encrypt the password while sending it to SMTP service?
3) Does HP provide SMTP service with HP Connected or HP Support Forum (this forum!) credentials. I will feel more comfortable in using HP's username/password for this service than GMail or Apple
Your help is much appreciated.

Hi,
If I remember correctly, the printer should offer you to save the email address to the adress book while scanning to email, I do not have any acces to the printer correctly to ensure that.
Additionally to add email addresses to the Email Address Book, complete the following steps:
1. Open the embedded web server (EWS) by clicking Printer Home Page (EWS from teh HP Officejet Pro 8620 software Or
by browsing the printer IP from your browser (Click he Ethernet or Wireless icon on the bottom of the screen to see it.)
2. On the Scan tab, click Email Address Book.
3. Click New to add a single email address.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions. The entry is added to the Email Address Book.
You may add up to 15 email addresses.

HP Officejet Pro 8620 - Scan to TIFF?

I don't own this MFP so it's not in front of me. I'm trying to assist a client who keeps sending PDFs that are too large for our portal. If he could send as TIF/TIFF it would likely be much smaller.
I've looked at the manual and don't see instructions/options for this.
Does anyone have experience with this on this MFP? Is it possible?
Thanks!!

Hello there @Frannia welcome to the forums!
I have taken a screen shot from my HP Scan (on a Windows PC), there should be the option to change the file type to a TIFF file if the Everyday Scan is selected. See what I had highlighted in yellow below. Ignore the red arrow to scan as a PDF file.
Also ensure the full feature driver and software is installed. If the driver is needed, click this link, select the operating system the printer needs to be installed on and scanned from, and download it here:

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.

Scanning Problems with an HP OfficeJet Pro 8500

I have an iMac running the latest version of Snow Leopard. I have had the HARDEST time, since purchasing my iMac in Dec 2010, scanning documents with my HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 printer. What happens is usually one of two things: 1) Only half of the page fills the scan window, or; 2) The entire document fills the scan window BUT the SCAN button is greyed out so that it cannot be selected!
Yes, I have done the whole delete the current printer drivers, get the drivers through Software Update, reset the printing, etc. None of that has worked (well, on occasion it works for a while). I am not using the drivers that came with the HP 8500; I'm told that you should use the drivers from Apple Software Update.
I have discussed this with Apple Support. They say I need to purchase Apple Protection Care for them to address this. This is weird, considering that this appears to be a software problem with software supplied by Apple!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,A phone cable connection to a landline is required for faxing. Generally, a wireless connection only refer to the connection with a computer for printing and scanning, it do not refer to a fax setup. Regardless, the specific device does not support any wireless connectivity but only a wired network or a USB. Regards,Shlomi

Windows 8.1 and Officejet Pro 8620

I bought a new Officejet Pro 8620 for my office and installed it on 4 machines. All of them could print but only one coupld scan. There happened to be a hardware issue and I had to return it to the store. When I went to install the new printer (the second one) the computers are not able to scan but not print. I have tried de-installing and re-installing the drivers from the disk and downloaded from HP, and nothing seems to work. I'm not getting any error messages, and I am able to add the printer and it shows up in my devices, nothing gets stuck in the printing queue, but nothing ever actually prints.
We have a secondary wireless printer (HP as well) that we are able to connect to wirelessly, not sure if that will help understand my problem.
I appreciate any help you can provide.
Thank you

Hi kmwenman,
Is this issue happening on all 4 machine that you have installed the Officejet 8620 on?
Please download and install the HP Print and Scan Doctor and let me know the outcome of each test performed. Please run this on all of the computers the printer is installed on if the issue is occurring.
You will see a wrench, a yellow exclamation mark, a red X, or a check mark next each tested item.
Click here to download and run the utility > HP Print and Scan Doctor
Is the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or a surge protector? (It is best to connect directly to the wall)
Do you have any other HP Printers installed on these computers? If so, do you still have the printer(s)?
Is this an HP laptop or a different brand?
Are all the computers running 8.1?
I look forward to hearing from you.

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

Scan to network folder yosemite Hp Officejet Pro 8620

So...can I really forget "scan to network folder" with Yosemite? I checked many forums and tried all kinds of setups and variations of network paths etc. Nothing worked. However I can scan and send to computer without problem (which could be a work around..).

Hi @robired2 ,
I see that you are having issues scanning to a network folder. I would like to help you resolve this issue.

I have provided the manual for setting up the Scan to Network Folder, starting on page 15 that you may take a look at.

If you are still having issues, check the website for any firmware updates for the printer. HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-All-in-One Printer Drivers.
Here is a post where we were fortunate enough, to get the printer working through the Network Folder.
This is a Consumer Laserjet printer on Yosemite. Take a look at the steps to see if that will help.

Officejet Pro 8620 won't print from microsoft or thunderbird

I have installed the printer drivers for my new OfficeJet Pro 8620 and am not able to print from Microsoft Word or Thunderbird. I can print from Google Chrome.
I am running Windows 7 and have already reinstalled the printer software several times.

Hello @dmcairns,
I understand that you're having printing issues with MS Word and Thunderbird on your Windows 7 computer when printing to your HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-All-in-One Printer. I would like to assist you today with resolving this issue. Now you mentioned that you have already uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times to no avail. I do believe that because you can print from certain programs on your computer that you are experiencing a driver conflict with those two programs. To resolve this issue, can I please have you run through the steps below.
I am going to have you load an alternate driver on your printer. This will not cause you to lose any functionality at all. You will not notice any difference in the performance of your printer or the capabilities. The only thing that should change, is the fact that your printer will be able to print from every program!
Step 1: Clear Temp files:
Click on your Start menu
In the 'search programs and files' box located right above Start when you click on it, type %temp% and hit enter
When the Temp folder opens, select Ctrl + A at the same time. Everything in this folder will now highlight.
Select 'delete' on your keyboard. No actual files or folders on your computer will be affected by deleting the Temp files as they are just temporary internet files. Should a file still be used by a program on your computer than you will automatically get the pop up to 'skip' the file.
Once the Temp folder is emptied, close the folder
Right click on your Recycling Bin on your desktop and select Empty Recycling Bin
Step 2: Download Alternate Driver:
Please click here to download the alternate Officejet driver package
Once the website opens, select the Download button
Allow the download to Run
Once the download is complete, an extraction will automatically occur and then the installation will pop open. Close any installation window that opens.
Step 3: Add Alternate Driver:
Click on your Start menu
In the 'search programs and files' box type %temp% and hit enter
When the Temp folder opens you will see a folder that starts with 7z.... Click on that folder to open it
Scroll through this folder and ensure that it has files that start with OJ860 files in it. You do not want to see OJ862 files. Once you verify that you're in the right folder with the OJ860 files in it, look at the top of this folder and you will see the file path. It should show something like 'local disk C - Users - Username - AppData - Local - Temp - 7z. . . . Left click on the right hand side of this file path bar and everything will highlight. Right click on the highlighted file path and Copy it.
Close the Temp folder
Click on your Start menu
Select Devices and Printers
Right click on your HP Officejet 8620 and left click on Printer Properties
Select the Advanced tab
Select 'New Driver' and hit 'next' until you see a list of Manufacturers on the left and a list of Printers on the right.
Select Have Disk on the bottom right. An 'Install from disk' window will pop open. Right click on the file path bar and Paste in the file path we previously copied.
Select OK
Select the HP Officejet 8600 and hit next
When you're brought back to the Printer Properties window, select Apply but don't hit OK
Click the General tab and rename your printer back to Officejet 8620
Select OK
Please try to print from a few different programs to verify that everything is printing properly now.
Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Thanks for reaching out to the HP Support Forums. I wish you luck!

Can't scan in color from HP Officejet 8600 anymore

Previously, when i have used "scan to computer," the scanner would automatically scan in color when i chose "Save as PDF." Somehow, that default setting has been changed, and now if i want to scan a color document, i have to choose "everyday scan," which i think produces a much bigger file. Any advice as to how to get back to my previous default color settings with "Save as PDF?" I mainly use a Mac with OS X 10.10. Thanks!

Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I noticed that you cannot scan in color from HP Officejet 8600 anymore on Mac OS X 10.10. I am happy to help you with your scanning!
