Print page preview wont load hp deskjet 2050 j510 series , windows xp

Hello euless609, It won't load print preview at all or it is blank?Multiple programs or a specific program?Has the issue always happened or is this a new recent occurance?

Hello eluess609, It's happening with multiple programs on your computer? Print Preview is not a software component that is dependant of a printer. So you can have no printers installed, but still have print preview. If it's failing it's likely something on the OS level that is causing the issue.
Does print preview work in safe mode?Can you include a screenshot of what you are seeing? I have seen numerous reports of print preview not working in Chrome, but your issue seems to be with many programs so that doesn't appear to be the same issue.

HP DeskJet 2050, J510 series

How do I eliminate the header and page numbers from my printed documents/

It is possible that the virus removal took some of the scanning software with it. Let's try a complete uninstall, computer check and install.
Use this Microsoft tool to uninstall: Fix problems that programs cannot be installed or uninstalled, all the printer software.
Run the System File Check on the computer: Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files.
Install any and Windows updates on the computer, Optional updates would not be needed.
Restart the computer, if after the updates it didn't on its own.
Download and install the printer software with the Printer Install Wizard.
Let me know if you are able to scan now.

HP DeskJet 2050 j510 doesn't scan

Hi.
I've followed instructions at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sa … P_hardware to configure HP DeskJet 2050 j510 but I still can't make scanner to work.
XSane just throws lots of error windows with I/O errors.
scanimage gives this:
scanimage: sane_start: Error during device I/O
Closing device
Calling sane_exit
scanimage: finished
In journal I see the following:
Jun 06 20:18:42 localhost.localdomain scanimage[7307]: scan/sane/http.c 346: invalid http_status=500
Jun 06 20:18:42 localhost.localdomain scanimage[7307]: scan/sane/http.c 350: dumping len=194
Jun 06 20:18:43 localhost.localdomain scanimage[7307]: scan/sane/http.c 189: timeout reading data sec_timeout=1
What could that be? I've google a lot, but still can't figure out what's the problem

Scanner doesn't work w/All in one Series

scanner doesn't work with Deskjet F4100 series. My printer disappeared when I tried to print a PDF file. I had to uninstall/reinstall, but now I don't have access to HP Solutions Digital Imaging Monitor It always says "no devices found" and closes. I have Window Vista 32. I tried to find the ".exe" file, but errors say file cannot be found. The printer works, but the scanner. It shows that I have Xerox Work Center scanner but the profile shows no filename or resolution. The properties say the scanner is working properly, but HP solutions can't detect a device. Help

Hi,
I received an update from HP on Sat urday and when I completed the update (took about 3 hours) along w/reinserting the disk that came w/the F4100 all in one, I could finally connect to Solutions Center, and now I can scan. YEA!!! When I turned on my computer the update automatically came up and the restore point from a previous installation attempt. Thanks so much this means the world to me. I will also send this message from another person who was helping me.

My HP Deskjet 2050 J510 can NOT scan for my MBA.

My HP Deskjet 2050 J510 can NOT scan with my MBA. It could not print before I download the printer driver as described in the below link...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4670
After install the printer drive...
Now the printing function works fine, but the scan function won't work. Could anyone give me a suggestion to make both printing and scanner functions work?
Thank you
Bill

Try to re-install the drivers and software for the printer.
You can also try to run the print and scan doctor, and see if it will auto-fix it.

Hi Chiti_mumba,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I see that your HP Deskjet 2050 j510 is printing out blank pages. I am happy to help you with this issue! I have some questions for you:
What Operating System are you using? Windows or Mac? What version?
Can you make copies with the printer?
Is the power cable plugged into a surge protector or directly to the wall outlet? Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
Are you using Genuine HP cartridges or refills?
In the meantime, please see this print quality guide. Fixing Ink Streaks, Faded Prints, and Other Common Print Quality Problems. Hope to hear from you, and have a great day!

What kind of computer is it? Powerbooks can't run Lion. MacBook perhaps?
With Lion, all scanning is performed through Preview. Use Preview.

update your scanner's driver. ie, see if hp has a win 8 driver for that model.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
There are two Applications folders: /Applications (in the root level of the hard drive) and ~/Applications (in your user folder).
If you have a look at the bottom part of the screenshot, you can see where Chess is stored, and it indicates that it's stored in /Applications, so you are looking for applications in the wrong folder.
Open a Finder window, go to Finder menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > Sidebar, and mark Applications. Then, close the Preferences window and you will be able to access to the Applications folder in the Finder sidebar. Another option would be to go to View menu (on the menu bar) and type:
/Applications
