Change folder that scanner saves to when scanning from printer

Just got an OfficeJet 8600 all in one, and it appears that when you use the scan button on the printer's control panel to scan, by default it saves the files into your My Documents folder. Is there any way to change where it saves to? I'd prefer if it would save to my Scans folder that is inside My Documents, but dont see an option anywhere to change that, so not sure if that is even configurable.

Hello rr2222, On my OJ 8600 Pro Plus setup - yes, the two "destinations" ... scan from printer and scan from PC ... become aligned to the same folder, once the destination folder has been setup just once using the (Windows) Control Panel icon. Although I need to take a slightly different 'path' through my HP-installed Control Panel shortcut from that described by ShlomiL in order to find my "Scan dialog", once I've set a preferred "Save location" for each of the "Scan to JPEG" or "Scan to PDF" etc. options (using the 'Advanced' link that's alongside them on my Scan dialog), back at my printer I can now choose "Scan" then "Computer" then [one of my named PCs on the list] ... and I can then select one of the same "Scan to JPEG" or "Scan to PDF" etc. options - and the scanned file pops up in my chosen folder on my PC. Hope that helps a bit?Colin P.

HP276dw doesn't number pages automatically when scanning from glass

When scanning from glass it doesn't number pages automatically. It shows a dialog asking for the filename and when the ok button is clicked it asks if it's ok to overwrite the previous file.
When scanning from ADF or when scanning is started from MPF's panel the automatic page numbering is working fine.
Is there any configuration to resolve this issue? It's really annoying having to edit file number manually.
Thanks

How can I export a video that will loop indefinitely when played from a usb drive?

how can I export a video that will loop indefinitely when played from a usb drive?

As far as I know, PPro does not have that capability
If you were creating a DVD in Encore, you could put an "end action" on the video timeline to itself... so at the end of the DVD video it would go back to the beginning
I am not aware of any way to do that for a simple file

Acrobat 8.3.1 jams when scanning from HP M1212nf MFP

Using Acrobat 8.3.1 w/ OS 10.6.8 and scanning from an HP M1212nf MFP leaves Acrobat unable to process scan.
Even though Acrobat recognizes the scanner, it jams after scanning, and I need to force quit.
As an aside, this scanner is possibly the most cheaply made HP device I have ever owned, and the scan interface is terrible. So basically, I am on the verge of tossing it into the e-waste. In other words, the value of this MFP is less than the value of it as waste. (<$0)

Installed Acrobat: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe Version: 10.1.3.23
Only Custom scan is available when creating pdf from scanner

Location of Save Icon after Scan from HP 8600 to Mac

After scanning a doc from my HP 8600 via wifi to my Mac, I am prompted to save the doc by hitting the Save Icon. I cannot find the Save Icon. Where is it? I cannot find the scanned doc anywhere on my Mac. Suggestions please. Thank you.

Hi RickP777,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I gather that you cannot find the Save Icon while scanning with your HP Officejet 8600 to your Mac. I am happy to help you with this scanning issue! I have some questions for you:
What program are you using for scanning?
Are you scanning from the computer, or the printer?
What Mac OS X are you using? OS X: Finding your OS version and build information.
In the meantime, please take a look through the How to Scan guide for your Operating System. Scan.
Hope to hear from you, and thank you for posting!

Can't scan from printer control panel on Canon Pixma MG5270

I have just connected my Canon Pixma MG5270 to my iMac running OSX 10.7.3 via WiFi. Printing works great, and scanning from the desktop "Canon MP Navigator EX - MG 5200 series" V 4.0.3 application works like a dream. When I try to scan via the operations panel on the printer/scanner the following comes up - Set the PC to start scanning". This worked fine when connected directly via USB cable. I have searched the web and believe I have the correct settings, particuliarly in MP Navigator:
1. Main Menu -> One-click -> Start scanning by clicking the button (checked)
2. Main Menu -> One-click -> Preferences -> General -> Compress scanned images when transferring (checked) -> Change -> Network Device List (selected Canon MG 5200 series_xxxxxxxxx) -> Scan-from-Operation-Panel Settings -> Network Device List (selected Canon MG5200 series_xxxxxxx)
I have restarted the iMac and printer and always with the same result.
Any help appreciated!!

See here for full installation procedure (it's a very long article from the Canon Web Site)

I haven't read through it fully, did I mention it's a very long article? There's something about registering the scanner during installation.
Hope this helps

Cm1312nfi mfp on 32bit windows 7 - upgraded with full solution sw and can't scan from printer

I have had a cm1312nfi mrp since 2009 that works fine but my HP Solution centre stopped giving me ink levels.
I uninstalled the printer software and downloded the current full solution sw for 32 bit windows 7 from HP. The printer works but I did not 'get' HP solution centre back and so cannot scan from the printer.
[I did download HP toolbox so I can see ink levels and can test the scan function which does work. However it does not have the ocr capabiltity which I had before and also it doesn't allow me to operate the scanner from the printer.]
Can you help me either get HP solution Centre back and functioning on my computer or else suggest some other solution to my problem?

Hi,
The HP Solution Center is a software for inkjet printers as the HP Officejet product line, not for laserjet printers as the CM1312.
You may find the Supplies status within the HPToolboxFX softwre by selecting Supplies:

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.
HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a Firmware < this is for the HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer - N911a.
I look forward to hearing back from you.

Canon MP610 scanner software freezes when scanning on my unibody macbook pr

So my scanning function has been fine until i upgraded to the new unibody macbook pro. I"ve gone to the canon site and downloaded all the software and drivers and it's still doing it. I'm so frustrated with this, if anyone has experienced the same issue or know about it, please help!

Hi John. Thanks for that input. At Step 6, after clicking "Next" I get a window telling me my OS version is unsupported and the installation may not complete. I am prompted to go to Canon's web site to "Check Latest Info".
I've had this window on previous attempts and from Canon's web site I downloaded two drivers as follows
- ICA Driver V4.0.0
- Canon IJ Network Tool V4.5.0
I'm not sure if these are the correct / complete drivers I need for this install or not.
I continue to follow all the steps. At step 9 I click "Wireless Set Up using USB" amd get a License Agreement (a little different than instructions)
I click "Agree" and it goes to a Setup window with two progress bars showing the installation. I've not been prompted to connect the USB?
After the Setup window is done, I am then prompted to connect the printer via USB. I connect the printer and click on "Redetect". It is not detected.
I then try following the Canon on screen instructions for connecting to the wireless LAN amd enter the password. It searches and indicates "Connecting" on the window, but it never connects and the blue light just blinks
So, at this point I am stuck??
Thanks
Stephen

Get error message that scanner is not connect, yet L7680 printer works

Windows 7 installed; Officiate Pro L7680, ver 14 of software received a fatal error about 96% in; message on printer LCD says no connection found.
Then when I can get the scanner and computer to talk to each other I receive an error message that says " A required software component was not found or was improperly installed. Reinstall the HP Photosmart software hat came with the device, and try scanning again"
Doesn't v14 have all that is needed as the download web site leads one to believe or where is the something else I need to download. Only been at this for 2 days!

Hi Areege,
I noticed that you created an OSS message on this issue. That was a good idea.
There is an answer for you in OSS from yesterday.
Kind regards, Klaus

Changes in Excel cannot be saved when open from SharePoint.

Hi,
I use SharePoint to access my documents library. When I open an Excel spreadsheet and do some changes, save the changes and everything seems to be fine. I close the Excel file and open it again. Surprise! my changes are gone. I repeated the same action many
times but I got the same result, no changes saved. I did not get any error message.
There is no versioning and not check out requirement in the Library settings. I do use IE v9.
I'll appreciate any help.
Regards
//Ashraf

Hi Ashraf,
Are you opening that Excel file to make changes in Excel client application or in browser (Excel Web App)? By your question it seems that you are using a browser to make changes and saving the excel file, since you mention you are using IE 9.
If that is the case then please execute the below steps and recheck.
1. Clean cookies in your IE 9 browser.
2. Use other browsers to open the Excel file in Excel Web App and check if same issue occurs.
3. If you are having only Internet Explorer(IE) on your system, you can
reset IE.
4. Try to upload a new document and make changes again to see if the same issue occurs.
Please remember to click 'Mark as Answer' if the reply answers your query or 'Upvote' if it helps you.
