How to scan with Preview...

Hey everyone!
I'm wondering how I can scan with Preview... Is it under file>Import Image??? oh, or is my problem because my printer is plugged into my AirPort Extreme?
my printer is a Canon MP160...
Thanks for your help!

Hi
You won't be able to use a scanner (or the scanner part of a multifunction printer) that's connected to an Airport base station. You'll have to connect it directly to your Mac with USB to scan.
Normally, when you install a scanner, it comes with scanning software, which you would use to initiate the scan; alternatively, there may be a "scan button" on the unit itself, which will launch the software and perform the scan. Make sure you check for updated software on the Canon site (check especially for 10.5 compatibility), as bundled CDs often contain outdated drivers.

Hi midandco,
I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
I would also suggest running your Apple updates: OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
After the updates, I would recommend readding the printer with theOS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
Please let me know.

how to scan with a hp 85000pro

Hi SanMiguel,
Welcome to the HP Forum!
To do the job (scan) effectively, you should install the Full Feature Software for your printer onto your computer. The FFS contains the HP Solution Center which, in turn, controls the Scan function and all its features. Scan "how-to" help is outlined in the printer's manual starting around page 51.
If you do not (or cannot) install the FFS, you can try using "Webscan" as outlined in the Printer's manual, starting on page 53:
OFFICEJET PRO 8500 User Guide
The download size for the Software can be large, so plan accordingly. That is, if your internet speed is slow, plan on downloading the installation file when you are not doing a lot of other activities.
Here are the instructions to look for and install the software for your printer.
In many cases, you can (re)install the Full Feature Software for your printer to enhance its capabilities. The HP Solution Center is an integrated part of the FFS.
(Re)install the basic driver or Full Feature Software:
Drivers control hardware connected to the computer (wired or wireless).
Software controls the programs that interact with the User.
Go to the top of the forum page to Support and Drivers
Enter your Printer Model information, and then go to Software and Drivers...
Enter your Operating System in the Drop-down menu... Scroll down
Look for category Driver - Product Installation Software
Select the appropriate Basic Driver or Full Feature Software – if available for your printer Save the *.exe installation package on your computer -
NOTE the name and the location of the file when you save it. The *.exe file will likely save to the "Downloads“ folder.
Install the Software / Driver installation package. If you have ‘Admin’ control, you may highlight the package and “double-click” to install it, else Right-Click, Select ‘run as Administrator’ and install.
NOTE: There is sometimes a lot of information at the printer’s website manuals, how-to pages, and alerts for your printer. Be sure to take an extended look at what’s available.
====================================================================================
I hope this helps!

How to work with Preview in Lion (autosave, etc)

Just installed Lion and am tweaking and adjusting.
Run headlong into Autosave/Versioning with Preview. Was very used to using preview to quickly look at and play with adjustments to images (but used Photoshop for heavy lifting). Most of the time, I discarded any adjustments that I made in Preview (i.e. I didn't save them).
Was surprised that Lion autosaves anything that I do to an image in Preview. So, how does one work in this environment. Avoid Preview? Always do the extra step of reverting to an older image before closing Preview (is it obvious which version to revert to?)? Something else? I don't see a way to turn autosave off. On first blush, this seems like a Misfeature. Not just for Preview, but for many things. Is no longer safe to just play because all changes are being saved.
I hope that I'm missing something that can bring back a more explicit workflow.
I also noticed that Preview is really sucking up memory. I opened a couple of images (small ones, < 1MB). After playing for a while, the Preview app used almost all of the available 10GB of memory on my system (the system became really sluggish). Is this a side effect of versioning? I quit and restarted Preview and it freed up memory.

Wondering how general the above advice is. Only for preview, or all programs? Time will tell on how well this feature works; certainly different as compared to other OS's that I might use during the day.
In this case, I only opned a couple of small photos and made a handful of changes. So, I don't know where all the memory went. I'll be watchful.
I've now unchecked "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps". But, note that this doesn't affect audosaving.
Feels like initial startup of apps (incl. preview) is a bit sluggish under Lion. Perhaps due to checking saved state (a guess).
Apple isn't shy about changing things!

Confused how iCloud works with Preview?

What is the point of saving PDFs in the iCloud with Preview if I cannot access those documents via my iOS devices or iCloud.com? Or can I?

To help others out there.. I too have not been able to figure out how to share iCloud Preview files across OSX and iOS devices. Based on this post and other research I do not think it is currently possible (even with paid icloud subscriptions).
But what you can do..with iCloud Preview is share files, across Mac's (OSX muntain lion or newer, laptops and desktops) and signed into icloud account on both Macs . Can even create sub folders for files and not limited to PDF files can also share JPG, DOC , XLS and other files .. ( This can be helpful since iMac's (pre 2009 tcan not use air drop)
Perhaps apple will put a preview App out at some point to enable more seemless sharing across devices similar to DropBox which can also appear as a folder icon on the sidebar in Finder window.
(FYI - I have up to date OSX (10.8.5 mountain lion ) and iOS7 (iPhone5) as well as paid icloud and itunes match subscriptions and even icloud beta pages/numbers/keynote. )

How to scan with HP AIO 309A to Mac 10.8.5?

I am using an HP Photosmart 309A all-in-one printer. After updating to Mountain Lion 10.8.5 I am not able to scan at all. Image Capture does not work, it states "no camera or scanner connected." The HP Scanner program states refer to documentation. I was able to scan prior to updated to the newest version of Mountain Lion. Anyone have the same problem and have you found a solution? Thanks! Note: Connected wirelessly and the printing and faxing work perfectly wirelessly.

Yes I checked HP updates and they did help to determine the three methods where to find "Scan" on the Mac-
1. Method 1- Click System Prferences>Print & Scan>Click on Printer>Click Scan>Open Scanner>Click Show Details Method 2- Scan from Apple Preview >File>Import from Scanner Method 3- Scan from Apple Image Capture >Click on Image Capture>Select you printer from the list>Show Details.
That's what was described. However, I was unable to accomplished a Scan with any of the three methods because "Scan" was not available with the three. Evidently the Apple download of the drivers doesn't seem to recognize my printer even though it is listed as a printer that is supported. I even downloaded the Apple printer updates for Mountain Lion. That didn't work either. Unplugged the printer waited one minute, restarted the Mac and nothing seemed to work. Oh well tomorrow is another day and I will try again.
