How to scan using m252dw

I have a new HP M252dw. Not sure how to scan a document. No scan button.

The last driver from HP was for 10.7. You could try that to see if it works. Have you tried Image Capture for scanning? Another possibility is VueScan http://www.hamrick.com

How to Scan using your HP Office Jet Pro 8600

Well, I figured out my own answer because I couldn't find a "solved" topic in this regard. So then I decided to post my findings in order to help the next querier (is that a word = one who queries). FYI - I am not a 'techie' and while I can find my way around a computer it sometimes takes a while. Also, I have Windows 7 on this laptop if that makes a difference.
1. Go to Control Panel and choose:
2. Hardware and Sound, then
3. Devices & Printers, then
4. Fax-HP Office Jet Pro 8600 (Network) or whatever printer choice pertains to your situation, then
5. HP Printer Assistant, then
6. Scanner Actions, then
7. Scan a document or photo, then
8. Save as PDF
9. Scan
10. Save to folder you choose
I know this may seem simplistic to most of you but maybe someone like me is out there trying to find this out and this might help.

Hi Acupuncture,
Thank you very much for posting your solution that you found yourself, on using the scan function on your HP OfficeJet Pro 8600. I also apologize we were not fast enough to answer one of your inquiries on the HP Support Forums. I was able to check your user page but was unable to find your initial post on asking us How to Scan, did you delete the question? Either way I am glad you are now up and scanning from your OJ 8600.
For future reference I would like you to take a look here: How to Scan: Windows 7, here you will be given all options and shortcuts on scanning with or without the HP software as well as some cool features, like scanning from the front panel of your 8600 and adding multiple pages to a single file.
Again I appreciate you taking the time to help the other Community members, so Thank you again!!

Welcome to the forums Beth
Thank you for posting in the community. I will certainly do my best to help you with the scanning issue you are running into after upgrading to Windows 8.1. I would like you to try a few things.
Could you please run the HP Print and Scan Doctor again and report back to me with any errors it may show or if it shows the software is not installed. (If you can recall the tool showing if the software was installed or not, disregard running the tool again).
I would also like for you to try scanning by using Microsoft Paint to see if the scan will work that way.
There is a video on this post that will show you how to scan through Paint if you need assistance: Scanning with Paint in Windows 8
Try scanning by using the Solution Center from your desktop and let me know if you see any errors as well.
Hope to hear back from you!
Enjoy your Thursday

How to: scan using HP6600 all in one using windows 8.1 for email. (fax & copy no problem)

New to windows 8.1
Cannot email a scan...need help!

Hi mo-girl,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you are unable to use the scan to email feature of your Officejet 6600 printer because you are getting an unable to connect message.
There are several steps I would like you to try please.
Please turn off your printer.
Please turn off your router. If your router doesn’t have an on/off switch, please unplug the power cord from the router.
After waiting a full 60 seconds please turn on your router (or plug it back in).
After the router has completed its startup routine please turn on your printer.
After the printer has completed its startup routine, please test the scan to email feature. If it works there no need to continue with any further trouble shooting steps.
Please set a manual IP address and manual DNS servers for the printer. I have included a link to another post with the steps, including screen shots on how to do this. Don’t worry that the screen shots show a Officejet 8600 printer, the steps are the same.
Please test the scan to email feature. If it works there is no need to continue with any further trouble shooting steps.
Please call HP’s Cloud Services at 1-855-785-2777 if you live in the USA/Canada region. If you live outside the USA/Canada region please click here to find the Technical Support number for your country/region.
Thank you.

How to scan using HP Officejet 4620 create Microsoft Word file how add Word from computer

Unable to find option to add, install Microsoft Word ( docx) to HP Officejet 4620 Scan. Need to scan documents to create Word docx file. Also concerned about Word file size acceptable to email.
Dell printer AIO has option to easily add applications as Microsoft Word for scan but not found with HP.
Searched but did not find solution. Such as simple question but takes hours and maybe a fee to find answer.

Hi @Frederickoe8
If I understand correctly, you are trying to scan and open the scan file using Word. When you open the scan software, choose Everyday Scan, then under File Type, you can change the file format. If you select Rich Text, the saved scan can then open in Word. As for the scan size and concern with emailing the scan, make sure you do not set the dpi too high as the higher the dpi the larger the file size.
I hope this helps.

I have a MacBook Air (10.8.2) connected to a Canon MP530 printer. I am unable to scan documents as it appears my Mac does not support MP Navigator. Any ideas? I have made an inquiry to Canon but have not received any answers yet.

Why do you say your MBA won't support it? MP Navigator for OS X 8 and the MP530 is available here.

Cannot scan using CS5, Optional TWAIN plugin does nothing

I'm trying to figure out how to scan using CS5 (Master Collection, 32-bit for 32-bit Windows Vista). I found references to an optional plugin pack for Photosop, which supposedly has a TWAIN plugin that works for 32-bit Windows Vista. So, I downloaded it. But, it seems like such a hack pack. There nothing to launch (run) for an automatic install. There's just a duplicate set of bewildering instructions for "installing" each plugin.
The instructions included in the plugin pack has a section that says "TWAIN (Mac only)" and only lists instructions for a Mac. Near the top of the document is the entire list of plugins. A footnote below the list indicates that the plugins intended only for the Mac are marked with an asterisk. The TWAIN plugin is in the list, but not marked. The online documentation confirms that the TWAIN plugin in this pack works for 32-bit Windows. But, it does not reveal how to install or use it.
Before you ask, yes, I downloaded the right version. Thinking the two version might have been switched, I also downloaded the Mac version. But, I couldn't even open it.
Anyway, I found multiple blogs instructing to add the Twain_32.8BA file to the folder "%ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Import-Export", launch Photoshop, then select File and Import. I'm not sure what was supposed to show up there, but nothing was added.
I know the scanner works, the scanner driver works, and the TWAIN driver works, since I can still use them with the much cheaper Serif software.
Any ideas?

I finally resolved most of the issue. Long story short, the scanner wasn't connected. What an idiot! The long story appears below if you are interested.
I still cannot scan from the scanner. But, I'm confident it's not a Photoshop or TWAIN plugin issue. The only remaining issue with an Adobe product is the very sketchy instructions (or lack thereof) and "install" procedures involved with Adobe's "hack-pack".
Thanks to all who took time to respond.
The Long Story
After posting my question, I continued double-checking everything, including the Serif software, which now could not find the scanner.
The problem originated when I borrowed the USB cable from the scanner (a Lexmark X6100 series all-in-one). When I returned the cable to an impossible to see set of connections on the rear, it fit perfectly in the phone line-out jack.
Oblivious to the cable problem, I attempted to uninstall the Lexmark driver software. This caused a nightmare of registry changes, security issues, and reboots. The driver software had been tweaked to work with Windows Vista. But, nobody thought to update the uninstaller. In the midst of the computer problems, my telephone service goes out. Go figure.
I eventually stumbled upon a resolve to the telephone issue by disconnecting the phone system from the Lexmark. At this point I begin to get a little suspicious of the Lexmark being a cause for both problems. I checked the phone cable to the Lexmark. But, it seems fine. I reconnect it on both ends. Still, it causes a telephone issue. At a loss for that problem and having a temporary resolve for now, I continue working on the driver issue.
With the Lexmark software finally removed from my computer, I begin installing a slightly updated version, praying I don't have to ever uninstall it. But, it won't install, reporting the Lexmark has to be on and connected. Rechecking the USB connection, I can feel that the USB cable is a little loose. Then, it dawns on me that it could be plugged into the phone line-out. Feeling around for another jack, I find one, plug in the USB, get a much more appropriate fit, and voila!. The new device driver installs.
I launch the Serif software. And, now it's able to find the Lexmark. I launch Photoshop, select File and Import, and there appears a new item, "Lexmark X6100 series ...". Now, if I could only get it to actually work.

How do I use p3scan to scan email (Thunderbird) using Clamav? [/b]

How do I use p3scan to scan email (Thunderbird) using Clamav? I followed this http://p3scan.sourceforge.net/readme.html
I searched for hours in Google and in forums looking for a way to get Clamav to scan email using p3Scan?
I have three questions (one question is in two parts) about setting up p3scan to use Clamav to scan for Viruses in incoming & outgoing email:
I now have three questions. One is in two parts:
Question 1)
Within the "/etc/p3scan/p3scan.conf" file there is a line that reads "# username: laitcg#pop.gmail.com:110 host: <url of p3scan machine> port: 8110".
My question is:how does a person find the url of the p3scan machine?
Question 2)
Within the read me file that you sent me (http://p3scan.sourceforge.net/readme.html)
there appears the following:
P3SCAN_USER=mail (clamav, etc...)
iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 --dport pop3 -j REDIRECT --to 8110
iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 --dport smtp -j REDIRECT --to 8110
iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp -i eth0 --dport pop3s -j REDIRECT --to 8110
iptables -t nat -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport pop3 -m owner --uid-owner $P3SCAN_USER -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -I OUTPUT -p tcp --dport pop3 -j REDIRECT --to 8110
My question as it pertains to the above is: Who is the owner and who is the P3SCAN_user?
Question 3)
Within the "/etc/p3scan/p3scan.conf" file there is a paragraph that reads:
"Clam Anti-Virus: http://www.clamav.net
# This program must run as the same user as p3scan is running so that
# it can access the mail files for scanning. Either compile with the
# options --with-user=mail --with-group=mail (if p3scan is using the
# the default user/group of "mail") or change "User" in clamav.conf
# to the user p3scan is running as. If you get a return code other
# than a 0 or 1, see the clamav documentation for the reason.
My question as it pertains to the above is: I installed Clamav years ago, so how do I make it run as user mail?
I would hope that no “Linux Guru” will post something to the effect of “the bash is the answer. Figure it out.” I learned and accomplished a great deal in Linux relative to the fact that I am a laymen whose college education did not encompass networking and computer science. I am asking for help because I cannot help myself.
Thanks in advance to everyone.
If someone could please, please answer the three questions that I've asked above, I would be most grateful.

Still not solved
I decided to go with the host: <url of p3scan machine> vs iptables. It seemed easier at the time.
The problem is that everything is written as a bunch of options with no clear direction indicated, unless one has a computer science degree or a strong IT background, and I am lacking in both.
The bottom line is that more I look at p3scan, the more confused and lost I become. Is there an alternative to p3scan that actually has GOOD documentation? I looked at Claws but thanks to the new pacman, 50% of all packages fail checksum test, something for another post.
Can someone walk me through this? If someone would walk me through this, I'd be more than happy to turn it into a step-by-step outline designed for the average user because this is just ludicrous. It has been my experience that good documentation open the door to so much more as it pertains to advancing one's undrstanding and enjoyment of Linux. I know that this p3scan setup would be well within the ability of the average "Arch Linux" if it were written for the laymen.
Please help
Thanks

How do I use the passbook 'scan' to identify deals in the supermarket

just got my iphone 4s. am looking at the passbook scan and wonder how I can use it to can items in the grocery stores to identify items on sale/promotions,etc?

The Passbook app itself will not do that (the scan function is for other purposes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212).
Check the app store to see if your supermarket has an app. Most of the larger chains (Harris Teeter, Publix, etc.) do.

How can I set a default save file for scans using the Solution Center?

Using Windows 7 - 64 bit. HP Photosmart Premuim C-309a All-In-One Printer.
Because of a Windows crash, I had to install a new drive and reload Windows. I also reloaded other software like the HP Solution Center & Drivers. My problem is that I can't find how to set a default folder for my scans. This is NOT mentioned in the user manual but it was originally accomplished by HP Tech Support when the printer was new. Can anyone relate how to set default folders for my scans?
Thanks.

Here is a document on how to scan through Windows 7.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03476857
Click either solution center or the icon of the printer on your desktop. Here select "Scanner Actions" (or the analogous selection). When the window pops up from the HP software it should provide you with options for file type (.tiff, .pdf, .jpg) as well as resolution and media size. Here on this page there is also an option for you to go to the advanced options. Using this you can alter the default safe folder.
Let me know if that helps you out!
