HP Laserjet 3052 Scanner not working

So I upgraded to Leopard and everything seems fine except I cannot run the HP Scan software. The printer [art still works but I just cannot scan. I have tried reinstalling the software but it still not working. HP have no new software and drivers for it yet.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks,

I can confirm what everybody else in this thread has said and add one detail. I bought an HP 3055 all-in-one yesterday and after installing the software, not only wouldn't it scan ("waiting for PC..." forever) but it also wouldn't print, AND another HP printer elsewhere on my network STOPPED working.
After an hour on the phone with HP support (10 minutes just to register my info), the guy confirmed that there is no 10.5 driver, didn't know when there would be one, and added the following amazing fact. Not only does the software on the CD that comes with the printer/scanner not work with 10.5, it actually BREAKS its printing from Leopard (and similarly the 10.4 or earlier downloadable drivers from hp.com). He claimed that printing from 10.5 works on the 3055 out of the box, but if you are so reckless as to install the software that actually came with the printer, it permanently stops working. (Plus, apparently, stops the printing of other HP devices.)
He went on to say the only fix was to re-install the Mac OS . However, I can report that after un-installing every piece of HP software on my machine (using their uninstallers, not just deleting), then restarting, the printer now works, and so does the other HP printer on the network. (Scanning still doesn't work.)
Btw, echoing other complaints on this thread, the reason I bought a new HP scanner was because my old one had stopped working ever since (I think) 10.4, and I finally gave up.

What to do when you can't print

HP Laserjet P1006 is not working on Windows 7 (64-bit).

I lost my original CD-Driver and I tried to download the CD-Driver on HP website but it doesn't work when I click printing. It seems that my HP Laserjet P1006 is not working on Windows 7 (64-bit).
Can anyone give me a link that works for installing driver for HP Laserjet P1006 for Windows 7 (64-bit)?
Thanks for helping!

Hi @achieverone ,
I can help you with finding the drivers for the Laserjet P1006.
Just to clarify, you were able to install the printer software, but it just isn't printing correct?
Here are the two drivers available for Windows 7 64 bit.
HP LaserJet P1000-P1500 Hostbased Plug and Play Basic Driver.
HP LaserJet P1005/P1006/P1500 Printer Series Full Feature Software and Driver.
Try and print a hardware self test on the printer to find out if it is a hardware or software issue.
Open and close the lid five times quickly. It should print off a page with black lines on it.
Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a great day!
Thank You.

HP Printer F4180- Scanner not working

I've installed Snow Leopard, but now its now letting me scan. It will print documents, but when I click 'scan' it says 'scanner not found'. I thought this update was supposed to make using my printer easier!!! Can anyone tell me how to sort this out? I depend on this scanner to create work and this is frustrating to say the least!
Thanks,
T SCOTT

HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install

HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install
Reinstalling etc does not work - does anyone else have the same problem or a clue as to how to fix this?

Keith,
I got a C6280 and the scanner does not work anymore. I am for 6 days in contact with HP. The last printer driver install form the apple web site does not open the image of HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.dmg because of an invalid checksum. The skipping of the validation gives and error in the install.

Just upgraded my Cannon MP Navigator App for my multi-purpose printer/scanner not working correctlly

After upgrading to Yosemite MP Navigator App for my Cannon scanner not working properly, Buttons are not active and do not respond .... it works on my laptop with Mavericks ... I will be reverting back to Mavericks .. I use my Scanner a lot . Apple please fix this problem.

I have the same problem with a Canon MP530 under Yosemite. I'm not sure why Canon can't get their act together to have updated drivers and software. Very aggravating.
I can confirm that pmt513's workaround works. That's fine for single pages. But what about batch scanning?
Here's another partial workaround. The main MP Navigator interface still allows you to do the scanning, both single pages and batches. You just can't save, send, or export those scans. But the temporary files are on your disk in TIF format. If you don't mind taking those and converting them to PDF or JPG (which you can do in Preview), then just look in the following folder to the files:
~/Library/Caches/Temporaryitems/MP Navigator 2.2/SCN_MFP
I have put an alias to it on my desktop so that I can easily access the scans. Be sure to copy the TIF files out before you close (and thus clear) the MP Navigator window as that also clears the files from that cache folder.
I hope this helps some of you.

Laserjet Pro M1536dnf MFP - scanner not working

I have just bought and installed an HP Laserjet Pro 1536dnf MFP. The copier and printer work, but I can't get the scanner to work. I have downloaded the software several times and triedn to install it, but it doesn't work. In the end it times out and says there is a 'fatal error'.
Any ideas? The printer didn't come with a USN cable, so I am using the one from my previous HP printer. Do you think that could be part of the problem?

Hi Watu-Na-Nuru,
Thank you for providing that information.

HP 3050 Scanner not working with Windows 7

My HP 3050 worked fine with XP. Now that i have a computer with Windows 7, the scanner will not work. I called HP, and they do not have a fix, and their Windows 7 computer with HP 3050 scanner works the same way. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi Donaldparis,
After researching from the HP website, I realize that they do not release the HP LaserJet 3050 All-in-One Printer driver for Windows 7. It means that you will install the Windows 7 built-in basic driver and use the basic features. For more information about how to install the basic driver, you may refer to the following link:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=120&prodSeriesId=3463669&prodTypeId=18972&objectID=c01856597#category4
Note: Since the web site is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this information.
If it does not work, you may also try to install the printer driver for Windows Vista under compatibility mode.
Install driver under compatibility mode & Administrator level
==================================
1.Right click on the exe file for driver and click Properties.
2.Click on the Compatibility tab.
3.Select “Run this program in compatibility mode for.”
4.Choose Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) from the drop down list.
5.Select “Run this program as an administrator” option under the Privilege Level topic.
6.Click Apply, click OK.
7. Please double click on the exe file again.
Good luck!

Problem getting laserjet 3055 scanner to work

I run windows XP with service pack 3. I recently bought a second hand laserjet 3055. I downloaded the latest drivers from the hp website and it duly installed them. Printer works fine. But my scanning software will not work with the scanner. When I try pressing the scan button it says waiting for PC. Scan to button says not set up on PC. My scanning software recognises the scanner but it will not connect. Any ideas?.... Help!

Pls help me to fix this one. Thank you...

Hi jkshipra22,
Thank you for your reply! For further assistance I will need to know:
If the printer is able to make copies by itself. Copy Text or Mixed Documents.
If 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. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
In the meantime, please try our HP Print and Scan Doctor, and let me know what happens.
Hope to hear from you, and have a nice day!

My hp laserjet m2727nf will not work until i shut off power and power back on.

My laserjet will not work until i power off then power on after every printing job. It first started happening over the weekend when it sat idle for 2 days. Then it was once a day and now every time i need to print. What could be the problem?

So i didn't read anything about the suggestion about the configuration report?
I would recommand turning off wireless (if it has it), unplugging usb, unplugging network cable, unplugging fax cable. Then i would reboot the printer go to the Menu and in Reports try to print a "Configuration Report".
If it still doesn't print i would unfortunately then may be try resetting it back to factory default. perhaps there is some setting that is causing this issue. Also causes printer to fully reinitialize itself. There should be a button in the menu and setup to set back to defaults.
Let me know if any of that helps and what the results of trying to print an internal report are.

HP Laserjet 4 plus not working with Powerbook G4 & 10.5.8

I have been using a Powerbook G4 running 10.4.11 with a HP Laserjet 4 plus without any problems. Last week I updated my G4 to 10.5.8. To acheive this, I purchased a full retail 10.1 DVD from Ebay installed it then updated to 10.5.8 using Apples Update Software feature. I believe all the features of my computer work except printing. Previously I have been using an apple wireless network without any problems.
Now when using 10.5.8 I have tried this:
1) select system preferences
2) then select print & fax
3) then click on the plus sign to add a printer
4) the window that shows up that says default, fax. ip, windows, bluetooth, apple talk, more printers across the top of it.
5) In this window the are two Laserjet 4 plus machines listed. One is listed with Appletalk and one is listed with Bonjour Shared. I only own one machine. I have tried selecting both of them separately and each time the same problem continues to happen.
Each time either of the Laserjet 4 plus printers are selected the "Print Using" pull down menu begins searching for new drivers. The gray circular animation just goes round and round and eventually does not do anything. Obviously something has not installed correctly. Or there is a conflict somewhere that I have not been able to figure out.
I have downloaded and installed the HP Laserjet and Edgeline print-only.mpkg from HP's website. The problem still exists.
A family member in my household is using an Intel MacBook Pro running 10.5.8 with this same HP Laserjet 4 Plus on the same bonjour shared network without any problems. This being the case, I am confident the old HP 4 Plus printer will work with 10.5.8 using an apple wireless network.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

The HP 4 printer has a JetDirect card in the back of it. The JetDirect card has a 10BaseT ethernet which I connected with an ethernet cable to an airport express base station. The express unit communicates with the main airport unit in my home.
Many years ago I worked for a company that rebuilt macintosh computers and hardware for resale. I rebuilt this HP printer from spare parts and added the JetDirect card at that time and have not had any major problems with the unit until now. It had no problems or printing errors when I was running 10.4.11.
I neglected to mention that after the printer would not work with 10.5.8 I went back and tried to reinstall the optional printer driver package on the original 10.5.1 installation DVD. When this did not work either, I downloaded the HP print driver package available from their website. Could I have somehow screwed this up by installing the incorrect or uncompatible print drivers?
Thank you for your help. I really appreciate it.
