How do I enable 'Scan to computer' via the printer software in a mac OSX 10.7 environment?

I am unable to see my apple mac computer listed on the printer's screen. When I select scan and then computer, it simply informs me to enable scan to computer via the printer software, does anyone know where this setting is?
OS X 10.7.3 (Lion)
HP Photosmart 5510
Connected wirelessly with the latest drivers (as of today)
HP Utility 5.2.0

Hello,
Thanks for the post. With this one, we actually have several options for scanning. I've included the links below for scanning with both the HP software and for scanning without. On the computer desktop screen do you see printer icon which says HP AIO 110e? If YES, double click it. Then double click "Scanner Actions" and then you can see the option "Activate Scan to computer".
Note: In order to use scan button on the printer, this feature should always be activated. Once activated, if you restart the printer or computer, this needs to be re-activated again.
Good Luck!

HT1893 After installing Mac OSX Snow Leopart 10.6.3 my HP Photosmart C5500 won't scan to computer. The printer is working. What do I have to do to be able to scan again?

After installing Mac OSX Snow Leopart 10.6.3 my HP Photosmart C5500 won't scan to computer. The printer is working. What do I have to do to be able to scan again?

Often, you have to download updated vendor software drivers when you switch operating systems. HP doesn't list a C5500 on their web site, however, here's the link to the OS X 10.6 C5540 software. If you have one of the other C55xx models, look for the updated driver/scan software on their software/driver download section of HP.Com.

How can I download a driver for a Brother printer DCP-J411ODW for Mac OSX 10.9.1? I go to the right place on the Brother website and instead of downloading a driver it says there is a problem. Also something I did download and stuff on the CD provided with the printer is for a PC not a MAc. Help please.

OK, connecting a Wi-Fi printer is a 2 step process.

OfficeJet 4630 enable scan to computer error

I just purchased the Officejet 4630 yesterday. I am able to print but unable to scan to computer. When trying to enable scan to computer, it never completes the task. I have followed the troubleshooting guide including repair disk permissions. The driver is the most recent.

Hello Fredcat,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're unable to scan a document using the Officejet 4630. I will do my best to assist you! First, what is your operating system on your Mac computer? Click here to find out: Mac.
Have you followed this HP document on A 'Computer Not Found' or 'Connection Error' Message Displays during Scanning. Did you try uninstalling/reinstalling the HP software?
How is this printer connected? Wireless or USB?
Please verify this information and I will assist you further. Have a great day!

HP to Mac -- enabling scan to computer stopped working and now won't communicate

I loved my officejet 8600 and had no problem printing or scanning wirelessly. All of a sudden the scan function stops working. I can still print without problem. My printer tells me to go to my computer and "enable scan to computer". But when I do that, it says "communication error. Unable to communicate with device." I did the things that HP support suggested -- downloaded new HP software. Turned router, computer and printer off. But problem persists. I looked at the forum and it seems like other people had a similar problem but the posts are all from 2012 -- and I don't see any solution, the posts just end. Some people in the string got it to work by downloading all the possible HP software, not just the minimum software -- but I did that and still not working. What I don't understand is why it was working just fine and then it stopped? Did some update get downloaded without me realizing it that put some kind of klitch into the works? I want my scanning function back -- but this is above my pay grade. Is there a way to get a live person at HP to talk to me?

How do I add a new computer to the canning fuction on my

How do I add a new computer to the scanning function on my PIXMA MX870? I can send print jobs to it from the new computer, but it tells me to "Set the PC to start scanning" when I try to scan to it. The old computer still accepts scanned images when it is turned on.

Hi, Illiniboy67!
So that the Community can help you better, we will need to know exactly which operating system is running on the computer you're trying to connect to the scanner, and how it's connected (USB, ethernet, or wi-fi). That, and any other details you'd like to give will help the Community better understand your issue!
If this is a time-sensitive matter, our US-based technical support team is standing by, ready to help 24/7 via Email at http://bit.ly/EmailCanon or by phone at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666) weekdays between 10 AM and 10 PM ET (7 AM to 7 PM PT).

Is there a way to enable & configure Volume Discounts via the Product Import Spreadsheet? Is there a way to enable more than 2 Quantity Thresholds?

Is there a way to enable & configure Volume Discounts via the Product Import Spreadsheet? Is there a way to enable more than 2 Quantity Thresholds?

Hi Michael,
You can set the thresholds via an import file. The easiest way to do this (and this goes for all importable data, webapps included, 301 redirects and so on) is this:
1. go into the Admin and create a single item, in you case create a test product and set the thresholds
2. export that data - in your case export the product list
3. take a look at how the data looks like in the export file so you can get an idea of how the format should be like in the import file
Unfortunately you cannot set more than 2 thresholds, that is not possible at the moment.
Thanks,
Mihai

Is it possible to connect an HP LaserJet P4015n printer to a computer via the ethernet ports?

My usb port on my Laserjet P4015n no longer works and I am unable to connect this printer to my network router because it's in a different room. Is it possible to connect an HP LaserJet P4015n printer to a computer via the ethernet ports? Of so, how would I go about making this connection? Will I need to install ethernet drivers for this to work?
Thanks,
Greg

This seems to be a commercial product. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!

How do i scan a document from the printer to send in an email to some one else i have a HP-B209

how do i scan a document from the printer to send in an email to someone else

Hi!
To scan:
You may press the start scan button on the printers control panel or use the HP solution center that must be installed in your computer to scan a document or photo.
Scan to email:
Some printers don't have the option in the control panel for scan to email. Mostly it is with the HP solution center software that should be installed in your printer.
Note:
For Windows the software is called HP solution center
For Mac it is called HP utility

HP Officejet 8600 Pro - how to change scan resolution presets at the printer

I have an HP Officejet 8600 Pro and wish to scan to email from the printer and wish to change the default resolution setting. I would like to change the default scan resolution so I dont have to remember to change it every time I scan.
If I change it with the HP Windows Printer Assistant software it only seems to change the resolution for this time and only from the computer not at the printer.
Is it possible to change the scan resolution settings at the printer? I cant find detail in the manual or on the printer console.

bvlusa,
Open the Icon labeled Officjet Pro 8600 on your desktop, and then click on Scan a Document or Photo. When the Scan application window opens you can change the Resolution from the drop down menu.
I hope this helps.

I updated my computer to the new software and now the iPhoto has a circle with a line through it. When I try to update, it pops up to say "These apps cannot be accepted by your apple id". Then will say "update unavailable with this apple id" how do i fix

I updated my computer to the new software and now the iPhoto has a circle with a line through it. When I first try to open it the pop us says: "You can't use this version of the application "iPhoto" with this version of OS X. Version: 9.2.1" When I try to update, it pops up to say "These apps cannot be accepted by your apple id - These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID and they will be available in that Apple ID's purchases list. If you don't have access to that Apple ID and want to receive future updates, you will need to purchase the application". I checked and there is nothing under the "purchases" in my App store. Then will say "update unavailable with this apple id - This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or canceled." Then the third pop up says "We could not complete your request. There was an error in the App Store. Please try again". Just want to know how do to fix.

After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

Got it! Thanx. What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.

Can not scan from computer, but can print

Since a few weeks I'm not able to scan anymore from my computer using HP Scan. I still can print from my computer. It doesn't matter if my computer is connected to my network by Wifi or by wire. My printer is connected to the network by wire.
Scanning wasn't a problem until some weeks ago. I don't know what change caused this situation.
The message that is displayed on the screen of my computer says 'HP LaserJet 200 colorMFP M276nw-AirPrint is is not available ...'. The reference to Airprint puzzles me.
Does anyone recognize this situation and / or has a solution?

I am working with iPhoto 9. When I choose a layout that enables me to write something, the print is so small I cannot read it. How do I enlarge the print so I can correct mistakes.

I am making an iPhoto Book in iPHoto 9. When I choose a layout that enables me to write something the print is so small that I cannot see what I have written to correct any errors. How can I make this print larger?
