HP 6700 Wireless Printer / Scanner

I have a relatively new HP 6700 Wireless Printer.  Everything has been going just fine.  Today, I was unable to get the printer to print.  I was printing an Excel Workbook Page.  Both the Lap Top (I have an IBM Lenovo with Windows 8.1 update) and the printer were connected to the wireless network.  I rebooted both.  Both were connected to the network.  When I go to the print preview function in Excel it says the Printer is off-line.  However the printer is connected to the network.  ????
I then printed the same document from the desk top, hard wired to the Printer.  It printed just fine.  I then scanned the document and sent a PDF file to the Lenovo Lap Top.  It worked just fine.
So, I am unable to print MS-Office documents to the printer.  The printer is indeed connected, but for some reason the Lap Top or Office thinks the printer is off-line.  How can I fix it. 

Thanks for the reply.   I actually figured out how to contact HP directly and the Scan Dr. tool worked. 
Thanks again for replying as it was the right answer.

  • Mac OS Lion - General Topic - Wireless Printer, Scanner, External Harddrive, Disk Management

    Dear All,
    I just fall in the mac world since I got an ipad and then an iphone and was very happy about these product I did purchased a mac mini server (Mac OS Lion 10.7.2 I think, basically the last version available).
    But now I need to learn about the Mac OS world and this is not straight forward, particularly regarding my existing hardware devices installation (printer, scanner etc...).
    I have some queries below, anyone who could help me is welcome.
    Thanks for all your support,
    Best Regards,
    1. I have a wireless printer Samsung CLP315W for which I could download the driver and print through the USB cable but I did see yet how to make it work through the WI-FI network. I mean in windows, the printer was detected as shared printer on the network. How does it work here ?
    2. I have a scanner canoscan Lide 30 which looks unfortunately not supported by Lion OS: indeed I could download the scanner toolbox labelled for "Mac OS" but I got the message: "PowerPC application not supported".
    Do I have any chance to make this scanner working or must I throw it in the paper bin ? (I must say I am not satisfied by my Mac in this respect, I would expect a better compatibility with hardware devices.
    3. I do have an external harddisk with various informations in as pictures, pdf files, offices files (word, excel) etc... This is a LaCie which was NTFS formatted with my previous computer based on windows OS.
    At a first instance, it was recognized by my mac OS but all folders appears in read-only.
    Do I have a way to apply the change to "full access" for all folders at once ?
    Why is it in "read only" in mac OS when it is not under windows ?
    Assuming I expect to continue using this disk as external backup but also expect to be able to access to it by windows OS computer, what is the best format ?
    4. I bought a mac mini server with 2*500Go disk, but I just wonder: how to use this disk ? I mean I would see one disk as backup, somehow safe and the second use on daily basis when applications stands.
    How does the disk management in general under Mac OS ?

    Hi jean-jack,
    The first thing you should look at, is if your are Mac enabled. If they are not, then there is a great chance that they will work badly or not at all.
    About your questions:
    1. Normally a Mac is supposed to detect it automatically and make it ready to use (try printing a document to see if this works). If your Mac doesn't recognize it, you can always add it manually in "printing and scanning" in your system preferences. This is accesible by just entering it in Spotlight (magnifying glass in the upper right corner) and adding it via the "+" icon (you may have to enter your password first using the lock in the lower left corner). After that he should recognize it as a WiFi printer and you should be able to use it.
    2. Since it concerns an older scanner, it is simply not supported by Lion (Lion doesn't support PowerPC applications anymore). Therefore it is sadly ready for the trash can.
    3. To change the accesibility of your hard disc to "full acces" you have to ctrl+click on the hard disc in Finder. In the drop down menu, you'll see the option "info". This option will open a small screen that allows you to adjust the settings for "sharing and responsibility" (found at the very bottom). Nevertheless I highly recommend you to format your hard disc to "exFAT" or "FAT32", because they give a much better compatibility to your Mac and are also readable on a Windows computer. You can do this by entering "disc aid program", once again in Spotlight. In this little program you are able to adjust the format of every single hard disc connected to your computer. Also not that this progress will completely erase all the files on your hard disc.
    4. To split the hard disc into partitions, you can use the same program explained above. Simply choose your hard disc and press "adjust size". Here you can divide your hard disc into different partitions, which will be seen as different hard discs.
    Good luck!

  • Wireless printer for Mac OS X v 10.5.8

    I have a Mac OS X v 10.5.8 - are there any wireless printers that will work with this version?  I purchased an HP Deskjet 3520 and it is not compatible.  Apparently I need to have a minimum of 10.6.  What HP printers are compatible?
    Thank you.

  • How to fix single wireless printer showing up as several (bonjour) printers?

    I have the following problem with a wireless printer/scanner connected using bonjour (Samsung SCX-3205W):
    When using the device in wireless mode, after a period, the single printer shows up in the selection list as tens or even hundreds of seperate printers. Applications showing/selecting printers or scanners slow down dramatically and sometimes stop responding (beach ball rotating for long periods)
    Below is an example of what is shown in e.g. printer selection lists (see also attachment):
    Samsung SCX 3200 Series (SamsungSCX3205)(28060)
    Samsung SCX 3200 Series (SamsungSCX3205)(28061)
    Samsung SCX 3200 Series (SamsungSCX3205)(28062)
    Samsung SCX 3200 Series (SamsungSCX3205)(28063)
    Samsung SCX 3200 Series (SamsungSCX3205)(28064)
    Samsung SCX 3200 Series (SamsungSCX3205)(28065)
    Samsung SCX 3200 Series (SamsungSCX3205)(28066)
    Samsung SCX 3200 Series (SamsungSCX3205)(28067)
    Samsung SCX 3200 Series (SamsungSCX3205)(28068)
    Samsung SCX 3200 Series (SamsungSCX3205)(xxxxx)
    The device works fine using USB or ethernet connection but problems arise when using the wireless connection. After adding the printer using System Preferences / Print & Scan it seems to work fine, atleast for a while. After some time the printer seems to multiply itself in the printer lists (e.g. when adding new printer or using Preview or Image Capture to scan and choosing a network device.)
    I'm using OS X 10.7.3 and have the latest drivers for the printer (Samsung SCX 3200 series 1.01.01)
    Im connected to the printer through a wireless router/adsl-modem
    The problem seems to start (i.e. printer starts to "multiply") after the printer goes into power save mode. (The power save function can't be turned off, only set to max 120min)
    Anyone have similar problems with other wireless printers or any idea what might be causing this? Or how I could fix it?
    Best regards,
    JL

    I haven't received any replies to the question I recently posted, but one work-around that HP suggested is to use different scanning software. Instead of Image Capture, I used the HP Scan.app that came with my all-in-one printer. I haven't seen those rectangles in my PDFs since switching.

  • Wireless photo scanner... does a beast exist???

    just bought an all-in-one wireless printer/scanner/copier. question is... can you scan wirelessly? thanks!

    Hi
    It would depend on the model of printer/scanner you have purchased...
    That said, I have a Canon MP600R which can both scan and print wirelessly, so it's possible! Scanning is rather quicker through a direct USB connection.

  • Wireless printing problem in home network officejet 6700

    1.HP Officejet 6700 Premium
    2. not applicable(multiple operating systems. windows 7 and OS Lion)
    3. My printer is connected to my house's wireless network and has accessibility to the internet, but when I try wireless printing from my iphone, ipad or macbook pro the printer "can not be seen". Saying " no air printers available".
    But if i unplug the printer's power and plug it back in, when it just gets connected to the wireless network again I am able to "see" the printer for a brief moment and thus I'm able to print. But a little while later disappears again.
    What can I do?

  • Scanner and Wireless Printing Not Working

    Most of the features in my new printer are not functioning probley. The scanner does not work at all. Whether I'm using th wireless network or the printer is connected with UBS. Wireless printing is not working too.  I don't know what to do. I tried to contact the customer support, but in order to do that, I had to provide the serial number. I put the number, but it said that they're unable to identify the serial number. Listed below all the information pf my frustrating printer.
    My compurt is MacBook Air. OSX 10.7.5
    Model: Deskjet 3050A J611
    Serial No.: {Removed for privacy}
    FPU No.: CR23164001

    Hi Alsahafi,
    I mention they were unable to verify the serial, was this a new in box printer?
    Also, make sure you've installed the full feature driver for your OS X version, you can find this download here.
    Don't forget to mark a post as solved if it fixed your issue

  • Canon pixma mp560 printer/scanner doesn't work wirelessly

    I have a canon mp560 printer/scanner.  It works fine w/ my mac when I'm plugged in w/ the usb but then goes offline and won't print when I try to go wireless.  I've reinstalled the software and everything functions fine, but the printer and scanner will not run wirelessly.  I've tried the canon website and have not been able to solve the problem.  Does this have something to do w/ bonjour?  I'm relatively new to macs.  This printer runs wirelesly w/out problem on my pc.  Thanks for any help.

    Your problem is being caused by sharing this printer via USB. The UFR2 driver for Mac causes problems when being shared, even to other Mac's. Since the MF has an Ethernet port you would be better suited to buying an Ethernet hub and connecting all computers and the printer to this hub.
    As for the scanning, I don't believe there is a network scanning application for Mac. AFAIK the MF ScanGear for OS X is for USB only so you would need to have the MF connected to the Mac for scanning - unless it has a Send function which would allow you to send a scan to a shared folder on the Mac. But looking at the spec pages for this model I could not tell if it has this feature.

  • Wireless printer fax

    Hi Guys and Gals,
    I have a macbook pro and a HP Office jet 6700 print/scanner/fax. I want to be able to have a document on my computer and fax it to someone without having to print it and then fax it manually. I thought I had it hooked up property but it keeps saying looking for fax. The wireless printer and scanner works perfect. Please help me if what I want to do is even possible or if there is something I shoudl try that Im missing here.
    Thanks,
    Darcy

    Are you just trying to use the fax or trying to install it? The fax should have a seperate driver for that model.
    So you need to go to print and fax preference pane and press the + sign to add the Fax as if it is a completely different machine from your scanner/printer.

  • What printer scanner is a good match with IMac

    Hi
    So I have a brand new IMac OS 10.9.2.
    I also have a brand new HP Officejet 6700 printer/scanner.
    Printer works fine on wireless. The scanner however will not scan to the computer. Message on the IMac is that there is no document in the scanner. If I try to initiate the scan from the HP it does not list the IMac as an option to scan to. I can scan to a USB and copy from it. but this is for a small bussines and I cant be waisting my time with that.
    I am happy to buy a new printer/scanner but I do not know which one is a good match.
    I have been to three major stores and in each the sales person has been adiment that HP is the best. But they are not aware of the issue above. So I have asked them all to show me one working and they cannot get it to work. When I or they research the internet reviews & forums we get the same thing. There is a big issue out there with the HP scanners not seeing the IMac, but it would seem the sale people do not know about it. So how then do trust there opionion on other printer/scanners do they actually know that they will work.
    I dont want to be messing around waisting valuable time re-programming either device or changing 20 odd settings to achieve nothing. I'm not particularly computer savvy. I just want to buy a printer/scanner, plug it in and use it and have it do what it says on the box.
    So can someone who knows their stuff please advise me on a good economic printer/scanner that matches well to an IMac.
    P.S I scan and print documents regularly not high quality photos

    I'm using a Brothers MFC-J4610DW and it works very well with my Mac running 10.9.2. But it does not list the Mac as a Scan to device and that is because of Apple not the printer or the drivers, software. It is a OS X restriction.
