How to go about using Photosmart 5520 for scanning when my OS is Win 7 Starter edition?

After installing Photosmart 5520 driver onto my netbook whose OS is Win 7 Starter, I can perform scanning if I choose wireless connection during the driver installation. However, after I log off the netbook and then log on later, I will always get the error message prompt "The HP Photosmart 5520 series was not found" whenever I try to open the scan dialog by clicking the button on "Scan a Document or Photo" from the HP Printer Assistant page. I get the same error messsage when I start a HP scan. If I choose USB connection during driver installation stage, I will get that error message when I click the button on "Scan a Document or Photo".
What do I do now so that I can perform scanning from my netbbok? I do not want to upgrade my OS as the notebook is already more than 2 years old, not worth upgrading its OS.

Hello there again!
Thanks for replying to me. After digging around some more, the issue could be your OS. I have checked out the specs and Windows 7 Starter Edition does not seem to be network compatible with the printer, so a wireless or ethernet connection is out of the question, unfortunately.
Try connecting a USB cable and perform a Clean Boot and restart the PC, which will turn off all start up programs that could be disrupting scan functionality. Try a couple of scans to see if the error comes back.
 Let me know if you have better results, or the results in general.

    Hi nstav,
    I'm sorry that you are having problems finding the app to print from your iPad to your Photosmart Premium C309a.
    The app you are looking for is HP's ePrint Mobile app.  You can find it in the Apple App Store or iTunes.  I have included a link to a document about getting started with the app.  I have also included an FAQ document for the app.

    Restart the computer and immediately hold the Option key down.
    Select the Recovery partition and continue.
    On the next pane, select Disk Utility and continue.
    When DU opens, select your hard drive in the left column, click the First Aid tab, the click Repair Disk.
    When that is done, quit DU and restart in the usual way.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

    this problem . Today I have find a software called "Hide my IP" i have opened up that
    when this software was opened , itunes have said "iTunes can't verify the identify of the server "init.itunes.apple.com"".
    then i have click on "continue" then iTunes said "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. An unknown error occurred (310)."
    And theres a matter that i think that have a connection with this topic and thats , that when i want to go to the lots
    of websites like Google Yahoo! Mail and lots of other website my both browser ( FireFox and IE ) will say" This connection is untrusted " .

  • How do i get my serial number for lightroom when it was purchased from the app store?

    how do i get my serial number for lightroom when it was purchased from the app store now that the app store has discontinued selling the product?
    Thanks
    -Ethan

    Purchases from the App Store do not include serial numbers. The App Store itself provides the licensing for the product. You will have to contact Apple to have them help you reinstall Lightroom through the App store (just because it is no longer for sale does not mean that you will not be able to download your past purchases).

  • Any idea how you can safely use ONE computer for BOTH work and internet?

    I'm planning to set up a small music project studio, built around a powerbook, that I will be sharing with a friend of mine. My friend is going to use the computer for music AND heavy internet use, but I will only use it for music work (off-line).
    The thing is then that I am slightly worried about viruses, worms, spyware and similar unwanted stuff 'sneaking in' when the laptop is online. Even with firewall and anti-virus I guess there is always a risk.
    Any idea if there is a way of keeping things completely separate?
    How about if I had a bootable external hard drive for my work, with the Mac OS system on. Then when I'm working I could boot up from that drive (and use the computer off-line).
    Maybe we could even remove the internal hard drive from the powerbook (?), and use the powerbook with two external hard drives instead: One bootable drive for me and another bootable drive for my studio partner (and then only connect one hard drive at the time).
    Any idea if this would work well..? (I'm not sure if i.e. a virus could sneak in anyway, through the PRAM, L2 cache or the RAM or something similar) Or does anyone have any other suggestions...? Any ideas much appreciated. Thanks!

    Not too much worry with Macs, but get an Ethernet Router, skip Wireless, use strong Passwords.
    How about if I had a bootable external hard drive for my work, with the Mac OS system on. Then when I'm working I could boot up from that drive (and use the computer off-line).
    Excellent idea, especially if the heavy Net user doesn't have Admin rights.
    One bootable drive for me and another bootable drive for my studio partner (and then only connect one hard drive at the time).
    Just about foolproof! Just need 2 more drives for backup. Not sure why you'd want to remove the internal HD though.
    No Viruses yet in OSX land, in fact the only Malware I know about requires you to install it for itself!
    You'll be OK, that separate drives idea is pure genius.:-)

  • Scanning using photosmart 5520

    Over the last 3 months or so i have been scanning successfully, using the Photosmart 5520. i have been using  "scan to email" and scanning my documents to my email address.
    A couple of days ago i emailed a few documents and then tried to scan another document and i got an error message on the scanner that the " scan had failed, try again or exit.
    I have tried turning everything off and starting again but without any success.
    Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas to help sort it?

  • How can a school use bulk purchasing for an inapp purchase product?

    If an app is free to start with an inapp purchase, how can a school purchase that app with bulk discounts?

    Obviuosly, I must have been wrong about having to use the ID for the app to show up as installed.
    But the way I see this situation - iTunes is telling you that the app is installed on the iPad - which it is - it detects the app on your device. But when you try to make an in app purchase with the new ID - iTunes will not let you do that because the app was not purchased with the new ID.
    Try the new ID again and see if t will accept it. I still think that even though iTunes knows the app is installed - it also knows that it was not purchased with the new ID.

  • How significant is the yellow hazard warning for pictures when creating an album using IPhoto?

    How significant is the yellow hazard warning message for pictures when creating an album using IPhoto?

    Are you talking about making a Book?
    How siginificant depends on how low resolution the photo is and how sensative you are to poor prints - it displays when a -photo will print below 180 dpi - what is the DPI of the photos that is givingyou the warning (the photo size divided byt the pixel size)

  • How we create workflow using sharepoint designer for first review the documnet than go for approve the document.

    Hi to all
    I have team site in site collection under this i have Shared Document library. Now i want to create the workflow for the shared Document library. How i will create workflow using sharepoint designer for first review the documnet than go for approve
    the document.

    Hi ,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create a workflow which contains review and approval process.
    For implemening your requirement, you can create a workflow containing two steps. The first step is used to collect user information and set workflow variables, and the second step is used to verify whether the reviewer approve. If the reviewers complete
    approving, a pproval workflow is started. The whole workflow is like :

  • Thinking about using Time Machine for the first time...

    I just assume that updates are inherently good to have, regardless of what it's for. I figure that the developers know a lot more than I do regarding the optimization or improvement of their own software, so I simply allow their download. I'm thinking about using my Time Machine for the first time and reverting back to the pre-9.1 install, if that's even possible. Things were working fine for me and now there are all kinds of issues with communication between my Axiom Pro 61 and Logic. Nothing responds through Hypercontrol anymore, and I don't expect any updates from M-Audio until at least 2012. Anyone else thinking about taking this route?

    Yes, I did. I opened that version immediately after I discovered that 9.1 had that effect and the controller was still inoperative. Of course, I still have MIDI input and PB/Mod wheel control, but that's about it. Everything else would need to be manually loaded, which the Pro series is supposed to do automatically. I haven't restarted my iMac yet, nor have I tried removing the keyboard from the computer altogether and perhaps reconnecting it. Maybe that would reset it...
