Envy 7640 - problems scanning

Hi. I'm trying to set up my Envy 7640. I have downloaded and successfully installed the 'all in one' driver package and can print wirelessly fine. I can't scan to my computer though through the HP scan tool (says printer is 'unavailable' even though it shows as available on HP utility and I can print to it) or from the printer itself (computer selected but I get error messages about there being no connection or HP Scan software is not installed).
My computer is a Macbook Air running Yosemite (OS X 10.10.2)
Can anyone help?
thanks

Hi @chris19,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that you can print but not scan with your HP Envy 7640 printer on Mac OS X 10.10 wirelessly. I am happy to help you with your scanning concerns!
To verify the printer's hardware is functioning, are you able to make copies with your printer? Copying Documents or Photos with an HP ENVY 5640, 5660, 7640 e-All-in-One, HP Officejet 5740 and 804....
In the meantime, I would take a look through this scanning guide, A 'No Computer Found', 'Connection Required', or 'Scan Unsuccessful' Message Displays for HP ENVY 56.... 
Hope this guide is helpful, and have a good day!

  • Envy 7640 Can't Find 'Scan Settings'

    I have an Envy 7640 E-All-In-One printer, S/N: TH4B1260YY, FPU: E4W43-64001. I am currently using OS X Yosemite, v10.10.1, with no outstanding updates on a Mac mini (Late 2014), 2.8 Ghz Intel Core i5 with 8 GB RAM. There are no error messages on the device or my computer.
    I have installed the printer using the HP full-featured driver, dated 2014-09-01, version 12.39, provided by the HP Support website. The setup completed successfully, the printer is working great on the wireless network, and printer features work fine. When provided the option, I also installed HP Scan. The HP Scan standalone program opens, but does not detect any devices or scanners.
    On a nearby Windows 7 machine, I was able to setup the scanner and use it from the software for that OS. Scanning directly from the device and emailing the scan, as well as webscan functions also work. I am certain the issue is NOT with the device scanner itself.
    I followed the troubleshooting guide found here, and completed solution #1. I was not able to complete solution #2 because in my HP Utility I do not have a "Scan Settings" option. Here is a screen grab of my HP Utility view:
    I also completed solution #3 (repair disk permissions) and solution #4 (check connectivity). Both completed without issue. I then performed solution #5 (reinstall the printer software), setup the printer again without issue for printer functionality, but still do not have a scan settings in HP Utility.
    Please help!

  • ENVY 7640 error "There is a problem with this printer"

    Hi guys. I got this printer 4 months ago and it has been working marvelous. But this weekend when I turned it on the error "There is a problem with this printer" appeared, just after it connected to my wifi network.I made several tests and the error comes only if the network is connected to the internet.When it is not connected to the internet the printer works fine (prints, scans, all via wifi).I have a MAC and an AirPort Time Capsule.Is there any set up that solves the problem?

    Hi , Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that you are getting the error message, "There is a problem with this printer," with your HP Envy 7640 on Mac OS X 10.10. I am happy to help!  Is this error message showing on the printer's display screen, or on the computer screen? If the error is on the computer screen, try resetting the print system. If the error is on the printer's display screen, please try a hard reset, by going to this post, How to perform a Hard Reset, by . It is important that the printer's power cable is plugged directly into the wall outlet, and not a surge protector. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.

  • Envy 7640 and Windows 8.1 - Unable to print

    I've set up my Envy 7640 so that it is connected via Ethernet cable to my wireless router. Windows 7 devices can print fine to this printer. The only way I can print a document is by sending the document to the printer via my HP ePrint e-mail address.  But I don't want to print that way because it is many more steps than printing directly, and because my output is slightly shrunken because of the PDF printing process I have to go through before I can send the e-mail. I cannot print directly from my Windows 8.1 64-bit device.  Sometimes I get a message saying the device is disabled, sometimes nothing happens at all. I have four ENVY printers shown in my "Devices and Printers" folder (even though I have one physical device), none of which work:- HP ENVY 7640 series (Direct)- HP ENVY 7640 series (Network)- HP2CFC7A (HP ENVY 7640 series)- HP ePrint.   When I try using this printer, I get a message saying "unable to communicate with printer". I went through HP's online troubleshooting guides for this problem, and nothing has helped yet.  I have done the following:- Unplugged the printer and replugged it in, but I still can't print- Restarted the computer, which caused the print queue to empty out, but I still can't print- Ran the HP Print and Scan Doctor, which told me  that there was "unsuccessful communicating" with all four of the printers.- I tried opening the EWS by entering the printer's IP address (192.168.1.80) in my browser, and was successful.  I was even able to print out a test page from the EWS.- I checked the ports on each printer.  It is the correct TCP/IP port for the HP ENVY 7640 series (Direct) printer.  I get an error ("Printer Properties cannot be displayed") when trying to view the port for the HP ENVY 7640 series (Network) printer.  The port for the HP2CF7A printer is WSD-f6de40d1-ae7a-403f-8b13-38027e351af.0038.  The port for the HP ePrint printer is 192.168.1.80- Removed and re-installed the print driver software multiple times. Any ideas?  I am extremely frustrated. 

    Hi, You've got one more than me (HP ePrint, I did not istall it but I also have Fax -)      This is my loan printer and my setup is wireless (becouse my access point is in a diferent room), I only use it for testing: I can ptint from phones (Android phones, iPhone, Windows phones), tablets (iPad, Samung Galaxy, HP 7) and over a dozen of laptops (Lenovo, HP, Dell, Asus) running Windows 7, 8.1 (I hate 8) and 10 Preview. I can use ePrint, print direct, print thru my home network and the setup took only around 10 mins for the first computer (which is my loan HP Envy 17). My suggetion: Re-intall it and select wireless to see any improvement. Regards.

  • I set up my hp envy 7640 printer but still can't receive or send fax

    I set up my HP envy 7640 printer and still cant send or receive fax when I run the test after setting up it says everything is working ok any ideal of what I might be doing wrong in the setup

    Hello @akelly4now ,
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand that you are having problems with the fax feature on your Envy 7640.
    I would like to help.
    I am wondering, is your phone line analog or digital?
    If your phone is analog it will go direct to a wall jack.
    If your phone is digital it will go to a modem.
    I am asking because fax is a analog technology that sometimes does not work well with the new digital phonelines.

  • Why does my HP ENVY 7640 continually shut down in the middle of printing?

    Why does my HP ENVY 7640 All-in-One printer continually shut down right in the middle of printing?

    Hi @JE66,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I noticed that your HP Envy 7640 is continually shutting down during the middle of printing. I am happy to look into this for you!
    Please, take a look through the steps within this guide, The HP Printer Does Not Turn On or Respond When the Power Button is Pressed. (Even though the guide title may not match your issue, I believe the solutions will help.) Also I would suggest to watch this video:
    It is important that the printer's power cable is plugged directly into the wall outlet, and not a surge protector. See this article, Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
    Afterwards, I would also make sure that the printer's firmware is up-to-date. Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates.
    Hope this solves your problem, and have a great day!

  • HP ENVY 7640 MAKES GRINDING SOUND

    My new Envy 7640 makes a grinding noise when scanning or shutting down. I discovered that the scanner makes the sound when it is traveling back and forth on the rail. It isn't loud just a little annoying. Is this normal? Just want to be sure.

    Hey @tdizzy,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that you're hearing a grinding noise coming from your HP ENVY 7640 e-All-in-One Printer when scanning or when the machine is shutting down. I would like to offer my assistance with this noise issue today.
    The printer will make some mechanical noises as the scanner bar moves or as the machine shuts down.
    Unfortunately, via the forums I am not able to actually 'hear' the noise to assess if it is normal behaviour or not. Of course any grinding or clicking noises tend not to be normal behaviour of a printer.
    To best support this issue I would recommend contacting our Technical Support queue by phone.
    HP Technical Support can be reached at: 800-474-6836.
    If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.
    HP Worldwide Contact
    Once you have the phone support agent on the line, explain the issue and hold the phone up to the printer so the agent can actually hear the noises that are occuring.
    I wish you luck going forward with this!

  • Envy 7640 makes chirping noise, as does replacement

    Sorry for the RANT!
    Bought Envy 7640 and noticed audible chirping noise from power unit. Researched forums etc and found it is a common problem. Contacted HP support (very hard to find) and spent hour explaining to agent including links to forums/youtube of noise etc etc.
    No problem he says - send you a new power unit
    Are you sure as this doesnt appear to solve the problem say I
    Oh yes says agent this will work.
    Complete new printer arrives and problem is exactly the same.
    I now have to waste more time getting UPS to pick up a second printer - what a complete and utter waste of my time and HP money
    Dont see i have a choice but to take the printer back to the shop and buy another brand, cancel the ink package and start again.
    Can i find the support contact details again - can i ****
    Unless anyone can help me on this forum i will NEVER EVER go near another HP product as long as my arse points the floor

    I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP.
    They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number.

  • Printer setup using english envy 7640

    I have a new HP  Envy 7640 printer.  During setup I selected English as preferred language on small printer screen.  Somehow that screen has changed to a foreign language--very confusing.  Cannot find where to make a change back to English.

    Hi,
    Change the language setting on the printer control panel
    The control panel displays text in the wrong language.
    On the printer control panel, swipe the display to the left, and then touch Setup (). TheSetup menu displays.
    Touch Preferences, which is the first option that displays on the control panel. ThePreferences menu opens.
    Touch Language, which is the third option that displays on the control panel. The Languagemenu displays.
    Touch your desired language. The Preferences menu opens in the new language

  • HP Envy 7640 won't print photos from photo tray using MacBook Pro

    My new HP Envy 7640 will not print photo's from the photo tray. The photo tray option is not highlighted to choose it. I have restarted both the HP and MacPro several time. What am I missing?

    Hello @MEMEF,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I would like to work with you today with resolving the Photo Tray printing option issue that you're experiencing when printing from your Mac OS X computer to your HP ENVY 7640 e-All-in-One Printer. Due to the lack of Photo Tray options there is a chance that your HP Envy print driver is not being properly utilized on the Mac Computer. However, in order for me to provide you with accurate support on the Mac I do need to confirm what version of the Mac Operating System you're using?
    In the meantime, I am going to have you check on your Mac to ensure that the HP Envy driver is selected and not the Apple AirPrint driver. The AirPrint driver is a generic driver offered by Apple to allow for basic printing ability. Because it is not a Full Feature driver that comes with your printer you may not have all the printing features that you should have on your printer. To check the driver please follow the steps below.
    1. Click the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences.
    2. Click Print & Scan, and then check if the name of your printer displays in the Printers list.
    3. If your printer is already listed, remove and re-add the printer to confirm communication with the Mac. Click the name of your printer, click the minus sign (), and then delete the printer
    4. Click the plus sign (), click Add Printer or Scanner, click the name of your printer
    5. Click the Use or Print Using box, and then select the name of your printer in the pop-up menu. Ensure that you have the HP Envy driver selected and not the AirPrint.
    6. Click Add to add the printer to the list.
    - Source
    The options may differ on your Mac if you're running an earlier Operating System.
    Once the correct driver has been verified as added in, please try printing to your Photo Tray again.
    Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. Should the issue persist, be sure to include your Operating System in your next post. Best of luck!

  • HP Envy 7640 won't wake up

    I have the same problem with two (2) HP Envy 7640. I have four (4) C410A and they never had this problem.
    I try to replace them with the Envy 7640 but I can't be unplugging the printer when I need to work. I have tried everything. I have changed the time to all the 3 possible settings. Wired and wireless. I am keeping my Old and faithful C410A until this problem is solved by a firmware upgrade or hardware replacement. I would like to quote that the two (2) Envy's are in two (2) different locations. So it is not and environment problem.
    I cannot use eprint or airprint after the printer decides to go to sleep for ever mode...
    Hope somebody can help

  • HP ENVY 7640 Will Not Print In Color On A Mac

    I purchased an HP Envy 7640,I'm running  10.6.8 on my Macbook pro, I can't install the driver for the printer on my computer because it says that it is not compatible. Nevertheless I am able to print, but it will not pint in color. Is there any solutions that I can try?There are no 

    Hi MrsLoghouse, 
    I would like to help you print from Word on your Mac. Because you can print from other programs, I trust the issue is not actually related to the HP Printer. Damaged documents or documents that contain damaged graphics or damaged fonts can cause print errors. Before you reinstall drivers or software, test the program's ability to print.
    1. Open a new blank document in Word.
    2. On the first line of the document, type the following text: =rand(10)
    3. Press ENTER. This inserts 10 paragraphs of sample text.
    4. Try to print the document.
    5. If the document prints successfully, change to a different font, or insert clip art, a table, or a drawing object. How to troubleshoot print failures in Word for Mac, Excel for Mac or Powerpoint for Mac.
    If the issue persists, I suggest you contact Microsoft, or reach out to the Microsoft Community.
    I hope this is helpful.
