HP C3180 supported by Image Capture?

Hi all,
I have a HP C3180 all-in-one printer/scanner/copier. I can scan with the HP software but it is quite dreadful and I'm looking for a solution that does not involve installing lots of photo editing or card making programs that I never use.
Image Capture does not seem to recognize this scanner. Does anyone know if there is an "Image Capture plugin" that I could grab somewhere? I am also curious as to whether Image Capture offers more scanning features than the (poorly designed) HP Scan Pro.
Finally, is there a list of scanners supported by Image Capture?
I'm running Leopard 10.5.8.
Thanks in advance!

No, there is no such plug-in. The HP scanner driver is installed as part of your HP software that came with the printer. If that software is not compatible with Leopard then you will need to visit the HP site and download a Leopard compatible driver.
Image Capture should work with an HP TWAIN driver if one is available for your model. You can also contact HP support for assistance.

  • Image Capture compatible scanners?

    Does anyone know where to find a list of scanners that are supported by Image Capture? I can't seem to get my scanner to be recognized by it, and so far I haven't found whether it should be or not. It's a HP PhotoSmart all-in-one deal...
    Thanks!

    This is what my Image Capture help says:
    Image Capture works with scanners that have driver software for Mac OS X. It also works with some TWAIN-compatible scanners.
    To find out if your scanner is compatible with Mac OS X, check with the scanner’s manufacturer, or go to the peripheral compatibility webpage.
    To scan images using a TWAIN interface:
    Install the latest software for your scanner.
    The latest software may have come with your scanner or it may be on the website for the scanner’s manufacturer.
    In Image Capture, choose Devices > Browse Devices. Under TWAIN devices, select your scanner, select Use TWAIN UI, and then click Connect.
    If you don’t see this option, your scanner does not have a TWAIN interface.
    To learn how to perform scans with the dialog that appears, see the documentation that came with your scanner.

  • Canon MP560 no longer recognized by Image Capture/Preview

    I have a Canon MP560 wireless printer/scanner and for some reason the scanner can no longer be seen by either Image Capture, Preview, or the Canon mp560 scanner toolbox under the Print menu. This happened either after installing 10.6.5 or after installing the latest Canon Printer Driver updates (I am not sure which caused it, as I did both updates recently...)
    It can, however, be seen by MP Navigator 3.0.
    Anyone found a fix for this yet?
    thanks

    Okay, have done some testing and found some interesting things.
    With a new install of 10.6.5 (selecting not to add any printers) I was not able to locate any Canon AIO via wireless. The Default Add Printer pane was empty so it looks like the printer and scanner driver needs to be present on the Mac. For the printer this is understood, as the Canon protocol 'canonijnetwork' is not present in the BJPrinters folder located in Library > Printers > Canon (due to the customized installation the Canon folder was not even present). In checking the Image Capture folder (HD > Library) I also found that the Devices folder was missing. Inside of here you would normally find the Canon IJScanner package/s for a standard installation of 10.6. But with the customized install this package was not present and appears to influence the Mac's ability to 'see' the networked scanner component. To confirm this, I installed the Canon v2.4.1 driver update, which in turn created the Devices folder in Image Capture and consequently made the scanner component appear in the Default Add Printer view.
    Another observation was that prior to installing the Canon v2.4.1 update, Image Capture would still display the MP on the network, but under the Shared menu - not the Devices menu. So even without the ICA driver installed nor the MP scanner driver installed, I was still able to use Image Capture to scan a document from the wireless MP. The same was true for Preview in as far as the Networked Scanner selection showed all the MP's present on the wireless network.
    At this stage I believe that the Canon driver update you mentioned may have contributed to part, if not all, of your current symptom. The install.log does have a record of what this update installs. If you checked it there may be record of the installer not completing correctly. In any case I assume that for your Mac this update did not complete correctly and is causing the problem. So one suggestion would be to run the [Canon Driver v2.4.1 update|http://support.apple.com/kb/DL899] again (or for the first time if you simply used Software Update previously) to see if this repairs the CanonIJScanner packages.

  • Image Capture & Automator to simululate USB reconnect

    Greetings:
    I'm trying to force a camera without dedicated tethering software (and that is not supported via Lightroom Tethering) to actually "tether."
    I get about 90% of the way there, save for one problem: How can I make Image Capture automatically download a photo each time I take one, without unplugging and replugging the USB cable?
    Obviously, I can tell Image Capture to open AutoImporter each time I connect the camera, which automatically downloads new photos in my camera into my Mac (where Lightroom then takes over and "auto imports" these into my Library).
    BUT... if I take a new photo, then the only way I've been able to "import" that new photos is to unplug and replug the USB cable. Surely this can be solved by Automator?
    I found one Automator action called "Take Picture" that works well with my camera and *almost* does what I want. That is, I can take a picture and it automatically downloads to my Mac. BUT, the problem with this action is it must be initiated from the Mac. That is, the Mac is used to trigger the camera's shutter. I don't want this. I want to trigger the shutter ON THE CAMERA, and have the file automatically download into a specified folder on the Macintosh.
    Is there any automator action that will do this?
    All I want is to take a picture (using my camera's shutter release) and have it automatically download to the Mac. The closest I've been able to come is to set up Image Capture and unplug/plug the USB cable each time to "trigger" the download. Seems like some bit of software could do this for me?
    Thanks!

  • Image Capture downloads pictures and creates .aae file

    Using Image Capture 6.6 to download pictures from my iPhone 5S to Macbook Air w/ OSX Yosemite.
    When I go to the folder where I download the files on my computer, it shows a .JPG file and an .AAE file.
    I cannot find preferences for Image Capture to turn the additional download off.
    It is doubling file size storage on my computer as each picture has a .JPG @ 600KB and an .AAE @ 600K
    I have bulk deleted the .AAE files using Spotlight and searching the file type, but do not wish to continue doing this if there is way to turn this off.

Using a properties file works for other parameters (jdbc data source, logging, file name for the image), but kind of drawing a >blank on the data source for the camera.This is why I'm reluctant to upgrade software (imaginee frowney emoticon here; for those who still doubt wait until the next OTN site upgrade for another example). Stuff sometimes doesn't work any more when you do (imagine another frowny emoticon)
    Until a better idea comes along use a card-reader to put the files into a folder, then load them into Apex as a second step. This is not as conveneint as loading directly from the camera, but if the interface won't work you'll have to do somethiing else.
    I don't have immediate access to Apex - can you load off a card-reader instead of the camera by specifying the drive to load the files from?
    It sounds like more of a Windows problem than Apex. Have you tried browser searches on Logitech and Twain to see if anyone has encountered similar problems?

  • Unable to delete photos from iPad with Image Capture or PhoneView

    I recently downloaded about 50GB of photos to my iPad. They are RAW+JPG. Some of the RAWs are from a new camera that does not have RAW support on the Mac yet.
    Using Image Capture I downloaded all the photos to my Mac. They all have the green check-mark next to them indicating they have been downloaded.
    After confirming that the images transferred without becoming corrupted, I went back to Image Capture and selected all, then hit the Delete button. I confirmed that I really want to delete them all permanently.
    Then a little floating window appears that says "Deleting..." and it stays like that for a long time. Eventually Image Capture simply loses its connection with the Mac and simply leaves this console message:
    5/22/12 10:58:38.494 AM com.apple.launchd.peruser.503: ([0x0-0x91091].com.apple.PTPCamera[9744]) Exited with code: 255
    Back on the iPad, I see that some of the JPEG-format photos have been deleted while the RAWs that went with them are still there. Meanwhile for many others, both the RAW & JPEG both still remain.
    Any ideas what might cause this? Is it because the Mac doesn't yet have support for the RAW file and therefore doesn't recognize it as an "image" file?

  • Warning: iOS 8 Resized My Images When Exporting Via Image Capture

    I have an iPad Air and I take lots of pictures. I installed iOS 8 last night. I don't like the lack of a Photo Stream and a Camera Roll, but I am willing to try new things, so I decided to clear out all the images from my iPad and start from scratch. Unfortunately, I've run into a pretty bad reproducible bug.
    First I copied all the Moments (i.e. Camera Roll) Photos on the iPad to my Mac using the Image Capture app. I've been doing this for years. Everything came out fine with those photos.
    I also had several iCloud shared albums so I decided to start over with them as well. Hmm, how to copy them over to my Mac? I tapped one picture and tapped "Share -> Save Image". OK that worked! So to save some time I tapped "Select" and then tapped all the pictures in the folder. Once again I tapped "Share -> Save 20 Images". Worked fine. Deleted the shared album. Did this with five other albums. Now everything is clean and I can start figuring out how this works from scratch.
    OR SO I THOUGHT. Once the pictures were on my Mac, I realized the pictures I exported one at a time were fine, but the ones I exported in groups came out at odd low resolutions - 257 x 342, 256 x 384, 268 x 332, instead of the full resolution of the original pictures.
    Luckily I had copies of all these pictures backed up, but this is not appropriate behavior. There was no warning that the pictures would be saved at a lower resolution. I'm not even sure the Photos app "meant" to do this. Why weren't the full sized images exported? Has anyone else had this experience? Could someone check and see if this is happening on their iPad?

    The photos in this thread are the same exported files that are in the slideshow. As you advance through the slideshow(try looking at the shadows to right of the subject and his sunglasses), you'll see a change in tone/saturation that, however subtle, is quite alarming for a consistent workflow.
    I always work with calibrated display profiles, and was told by Aperture Pro support to try the export with a standard, device independent profile to rule out a display profile related issue. I told them on the phone that while I'd try it, that would not be a viable solution long term for me, or any other professional, as different screens need to have independent, calibrated profiles for a consistent working environment.
    That said, regardless of the display profile(I tried multiple scenarios - including calibrated profiles), the exported file is always the same on the same machines - and as I said before, distinctly unique to each machine. The display profile should have nothing to do with it anyways, as that is simple a translation of the the 'static' data onto a specific screen. I'm not saying the screens look different to me, I'm saying that the exported files are different when viewed together on any one screen.
    These are all fresh installs of the same download; no settings in the software have been changed, except for what I've detailed above. The processing of the color/export should be the same from the same file in the same library with the same adjustments and the same software settings, but it's not.
    Can anyone try this same test in another environment? Or does anyone know how Aperture might leverage hardware perhaps in it's processing of color?

  • I can print to a Lexmark X4550, but not scan (with Image Capture)

    Following tips (by "Lexmark Listens" and others) I succeded in printing (via USB and wifi) to a Lexmark X4550.
    But when scanning (via USB) using the Image Capture app (included in Mac OS), Image Capture sees the scanner a couple of seconds, then complains that no scanner is connected (although it still is).
    This happens with a MacBook (Pro), but not with another MacBook (white).
    I tried (not necessarily in this order):
    - reboot
    - repair disk permissions
    - re-installing drivers (both printer driver and "Image Capture Application Scan Driver for for 10.6.8 and later Mac OS") from Lexmark support site.
    - running Mac OS software update (which updated the printer driver to version 2.8]
    - resetting the printing system: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1341
    How can I completely remove all files related to Lexmark printers&scanners and try again installing from a clean state?
    (I see in other posts that a Lexmark Uninstaller is sometimes located in HD/Library/Printers/Lexmark/YEAR/ ; I used to have one here, but it was removed during previous attempts at getting the scanner working ; and anyway when I run this Uninstaller at the time, it did not completely clean the /Printer/Lexmark)
    My problem is very similar to this one described in this bug report in Lexmark knowledge base:
    http://bit.ly/MOR9bd
    But the patch proposed is "For Mac OS X 10.6 only" and titled "LexmarkPro800-Pro900SeriesQFE1.0.0.dmg" so I don't think it would work for a Lexmark X4550. (Indeed I installed this patch and the problem is still there).
    As for the workaround suggested, "When using Apple's Image Capture application, do not use the "Show Details" option [...]", I can't get it to work: as soon as I launch Image Capture, it starts scanning (a preview) and the "Show Details" bouton is grayed out.
    I've already spent many hours trying to get this printer-scanner to work with my Mac.
    Any suggestion would be very helpful!

    Same issue, sort of.  After ML upgrade, Lexmark x264dn fails to register as a printer & scanner, there is no scan tab anymore.   Also, image capture application is stuck in a crash loop until I disable mDNS (bonjour) on the printer.   Still, it does not register as a scanner anywhere (protoshop, image capture, preview...)
    I have installed all the package scripts from Lexmark's Mountain Lion support page.   No dice.

  • Image Capture can no longer download from iPhone

    For some time - I think since Yosemite upgrade, I can no longer download photos from my iPhone 5. (I do not use iCloud, and there are some other issues with iPhoto so I haven't tried.  iTunes can still perform backup.)
    Back when, I was using Google Picasa as main tool to download from iOS to MacOS.  For some time, maybe since a certain iOS (8?) update, Picasa would simply begin a download, and spill out an error upon the simplest job - like a single picture.  As such, I went back to Apple's Image Capture and found it still worked.  Until recently, that is.  Now, Image Capture simply starts an "Import", shows a progress bar, but makes no progress whatsoever.  When I retried Picasa, Picasa does the same, i.e., the error message is no more, replaced by a no-progress progress bar.
    I usually only perform import when iPhone is filling up.  So this is a devastating problem.  Please help.

    Hello sillyvalley,
    Sorry to hear that you are having issues with importing photos to your Mac. Now I am not sure what the communication problem is with Picasa, I can say that there are other alternatives to import your photos in, like using iPhoto or Image Capture. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • Epson Photo RX600 no longer recognized by Image Capture but still prints

    Recently my Epson Photo RX600 disappeared from Image Capture (in between doing an overview and final scan) and I can no longer seem to find/assign it. I am still able to print to the device through my Mac and to scan/copy using the buttons on the device, but no luck on scanning through the Mac. Any advice?
    Thanks.

    My name is Syd and I work for Epson America, Inc.
    If nothing has been changed on the computer itself, you may want to re-install the ICA scanner driver and restart. If this does not work and the RX600 is connected directly to your Mac USB port, we would recommend contacting tech support to more quickly determine the issue as there are variables involved. The direct number is 562-276-4382.
    Here to help,

  • No Preferences with Image Capture

    No Preferences option when Image Capture app is running. I can't believe it, but is this new in SL? If so why?
    I have discovered the Prefs for AutoImporter. Is that all there are?
    I am ham-strung by my Canon SX200 failing to be recognised as a USB device so I can't see it to strip out the image files in Finder, nor will its images show up in Picasa. When the camera appears in Image Capture, the chance to modify what app is opened and setting this to AutoImporter dumps the pics into a folder. Can this be (simply) modded to run AutoImp AND Picasa?

    First: no Prefs in Image Capture, There are Prefs in AutoImporter, It seems odd that the more user-facing IC has none.
    The preferences are there, just not in a separate preferences window like with many other apps. When you attach a camera with firmware or add-on software compatible with Mac OS X, it appears in the "Devices" list of Image Capture. Click on it in the devices list & you should get a resizable view of its images on the right & on the left, below the Devices list, a +device settings+ pane with the same name as in the devices list. The +per camera+ preferences are there, allowing you to select an app (or no app) to automatically open when that camera is connected, whether or not to share the camera over the local network, & if the images in the camera should be automatically deleted after import. If you don't see the device settings pane, click on the icon at the bottom of the Devices list to expose it.
    If you are concerned about accidentally wiping the camera's images, do not select the preference "Delete After Import." This setting is retained, so unless you select the delete option again, that won't happen.
    If you have already selected some other app to automatically open, the next time you connect the camera, launch Image Capture manually & change that preference to the desired app (or to no app). That preference will be retained as well. You can't set more than one app to launch automatically, though. This would result in both apps trying to manage the camera's images at the same time, leading to a crash or an error in one or both of them, depending on their design.
    Of course, you can also set any available preferences of the app you have chosen to handle the images. This will vary depending on that apps capabilities & design as well. That's why you can't set AutoImporter's preferences from within Image Capture -- it is a separate app that just like its name suggests, only automatically imports the images into a pre-designated folder hierarchy.
    For whatever app you choose to automatically open, you also get whatever 'per connection' options that app supports. For instance, both Image Capture & Preview have the same resizable view of the images, & the same row of options along the bottom of that. Until you click one of the two import buttons, nothing happens to the images in the camera, & they are deleted on import only if that preference is set.
    If you think about it, this is a very logical & flexible implementation. You have +per device+ preferences conveniently centralized in one app, but +per application+ preferences & +per connection+ options localized in each application, since they may vary greatly from app to app. This gives you many more options than if everything was crammed into Image Capture.
    Does that make sense?

  • Image Capture shows no devices (again)

    Hi,
    I have a MacBook Air (2012) running Mac OS X 10.9.1, 1.8GHz Intel Core i5, with 4GB ram.
    I have a Cannon MP510, it shows up on the list of printers in the System Preferences.
    I had a similar problem with the previous operating system (see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5419672)
    I now have a Time Capsule and I have tried connecting the printer to my laptop with USB and also via the Airport Time Capsule (both by USB).
    The MP510 show up in Printers & Scanners but no Scan, and Image Capture shows no devices as being found.
    I have looked at:
    http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mp_s eries/pixma_mp510#DriversAndSoftware
    But they have no drivers for 10.9.1 but I did try the driver for 10.8 again.
    I have made sure that the printer is in Scan mode, I have tried Scan to PC, and Scan to PDF. (There isnt a Scan to Mac)
    Any ideas on how I can get my MacBook to detect that the MP510 is also a scanner so that I can use image capture (or any other free software) to get scanned images on to my Mac?
    Thanks,
    Mulder

    I have downloaded Cannon's MP Navigator and it says that it cannot communicate with the scanner, Scanner driver will be closed, and number 155.0.0

  • Image Capture no longer working with Canon MG3250

    I’m getting an error message when trying to scan from my Canon MG3250 using Image Capture this is over wifi but plugging in the USB cable doesn’t make any difference. Printing is working as normal.
    I’ve used Image Capture to scan previously without any problem and have the drivers installed from Apple.
    Open Image Capture, selected the scanner, which now has a generic icon. I get the following error message:
    "Software for this device is not installed.  
    Scanning software for this printer is currently unavailable
    Please contact the printer’s manufacturer for the latest software." 
    I tried Preferences>Printers & Scanners. Selected the Scan Tab and Open Scanner. This launched the printer utility Canon MG3200 series. I clicked on the Scanner icon. Where I get the same error as above.
    Normally the software would auto download from Apple, but clearly looking at the Console log there seems to be a problem at Apple’s end:
    Console log:
    20/05/2014 19:28:36.141 PrintUITool[411]: There are 2 drivers posted for Canon MG3200 series. Software Update server configuration must be wrong.
    I've worked around the problem by going to Canon’s website and downloaded the scanning software:
    http://www.canon.co.uk/Support/Consumer_Products/products/Fax__Multifunctionals/ InkJet/PIXMA_MG_series/PIXMA_MG3250.aspx?type=download&page=1
    I used IJ Network Scanner Selector EX to select the scanner and Canon IJ Scan Utility to scan, which worked after I made sure Image Capture was closed.
    This doesn't fix the issue with scanning in Image Capture however.

    Issue resolved by Paul Huntley on another discussion board.
    "To scan with Image Capture you need to install the ICA v3.1.0 driver for selected Canon devices. This is a different driver package to the MG3200 Scanner driver that includes the Canon IJ Scan utility and does not work with Image Capture."
    Installing the ICA driver resolved the issue and I can now scan again with Image Capture. I still don't know why it stopped working in Mavericks, or why Apple didn't auto install the driver when required.
