HP M2727 printer/scanner not recognized as scanner

I have HP M2727 printer/scanner but the OS X system does not recognize the scanning function. Consequently I cannot use "Image Capture" or "Preview" to scan. The HP Director that was working does not now work. Currently on OS X - Version 10.9.5
Any ideas?

Have you checked for an update to HP Director?

I just bought new HP computer from Future shop and it came with Windows in it. but this windows8 doesnt have drivers for my printer Image Class MF 4350d. Now I hve no clue how can i fix this isue. Because I checked on Canon website for drivers and downloaded and run the drivers, but no solution for my printer at all.

Yes. I have the latest version intalled but this hasnt helped.
I thought it could be to do with the Shuffle not having enough of a battery charge.
So i plugged it into the wall charger and then tried this didnt work either.
It wont even play music for some reason. The only information I get in the earpiece when I turn it on is what the battery level is at.

USB Printer Sometimes Not Recognized on Reboot into OS X from Windows XP

Thanks in advance for any help. Here's the situation:
Everything works fine in OS X (10.5.2). In particular I have a USB laser printer that works find (Brother HL 2040).
Then I boot via Boot Camp into Windows XP and play a few games. Then I reboot out of XP and back into OS X. At that point sometimes the printer works and sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't work what happens is that I will send a page to be printed, but nothing happens. Then when I shut down (or restart), the page will print.
I'd like to be able to print without having to shut down the computer - any help would be appreciated!

Though a different USB device (myTV.PVR) I have somewhat similar problem in Leopard, Windows (Vista). If I try to watch TV in OS (x) after having used it in (y) it will not work. Solution for TV is to pull device's power or USB out & put it back. Seems like the driver sees something foreign to it which is
re set by re plug.

Printer Driver Not Recognized

When I go into Devices and Printers, the Icon for my Computer shows the triangle error. I troubleshoot and it finally says that the default printer driver is missing or corrupt. I cannot print from my email program, Thunderbird. I can print from Word and Excel. This is strange. Can anyone help?

Thank you for all that information.

That's really peculiar. If the driver is missing, you should not be able to print at all. Can you print from Notepad (notepad.exe) and from Paint (mspaint.exe)?
Any yellow splotches in Device Manager (devmgmt.msc)? If so, show us lots of pictures. Dougle-click the device in question to open its Properties and show us Device status and so forth.
Tell us how this printer is connected.
In the meantime, let's looks after the System Restore problem. In most cases, this happens when shadow storage becomes corrupt. The fix is to turn System Restore off and then turn it on again. Unfortunately, that removes all previous restore points.

DPR 1260 Wireless Print Server not recognized on Macbook Pro

Please help. I am a first time Mac user. I have a D-link wireless print server that is connected to a HP Office Jet 6200 all in one. For some reason I cannot set up the wireless print server. A couple questions: I enter the IP address when I set up a new printer. Still nothing. Do I need to select IP printing when setting up a new printer? Is D-link wireless printing supported by Leopard? When I plug in direct via USB - Mac prints no problem. Tech support really couldn't help - neither could D-link. Does anyone know step by step how to set up? Explain it to me like I'm 4 years old. Thanks.

You have two issues going at once.
Driver - There are two kinds of print driver on OS X (not like Windows) - Carbon and CUPS. CUPS drivers are required to use the standard network print protocols provided in OS X by the CUPS system - IP printing and Windows printing. But HP doesn't provide CUPS drivers for non-postscript printers. They provide Carbon drivers where they have limited the driver to USB only. To get a CUPS driver for your model, install the 3 part hpijs:
http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/macosx
Print & Fax prefs setup -
I call your attention to page 19 of the print server manual. Dlink simply has "no clue" about OS X. The easiest comm protocol for you is HP Jetdirect, which equals TCP/IP raw port 9100. That is for USB port 1 -- for the other USB ports you will need to use advanced setup in Print & Fax.
So, plug the printer into USB port 1 and set up using IP printer > HP Jetdirect protocol, selecting your new hpijs driver.
Good luck.

Portege R600-10Q Finger Print Utility not recognizing prints

I have a Portg R600-10Q laptop which has been upgraded to run Windows 7 Professional (32bit) using the Toshiba supplied upgrade disks.
Recently the finger print scan became unreliable so I followed my usual practice and removed the old finger prints and set about rescanning my fingers.
I find that there are three scans required for each finger. When I scan the first two times the print is immediately recognised and graded 'Good'. However, the third attempt always fails and will scan up to 8 times and then the process is terminated. This happens regardless of which finger is involved, restarting the machine, running the utility as an administrator etc.
I uninstalled the Fingerprint Utility and then reinstalled but the same issue remains.
I'd value any suggestions for getting the Fingerprint Utility working again.
Andrew

> I uninstalled the Fingerprint Utility and then reinstalled but the same issue remains.
Did you use the newest finger print software?
Please do this.
Please try the fingerprint software released for Portege R700.
There is new version which is released for Win 7 32bit and 64bit OS
PS; you should delete all fingerprints before installing new version...
Bye

Printer Canon MG2450 not recognized in PC

I've acquired a new Printer Canon MG2450. After ingtalling the driver from CD and/or the official site, I see that the HW is not recognized by the PC.
I've installed/uninstalled the driver several times, I've plugged/unplugged the USB cable. Even I've tried with another USB cable, Reset the PC, etc... but when I perform the "Diagnose" from the driver, the printer is not recognized.
BTY: I've installed the pack3 in windows before, as needed.
Do you have any idea how can I do to fix the problem?
Thanks a lot,
Eli

If you have an external firewire drive attached, disconnect it and try again using Firewire Basic as the capture control protocol.

Printer not recognizing new cartridges installed

I have a Deskjet 1050 all in one J410 series. Just installed 2 new print cartridges. Printer is not recognizing the cartridges. Cartridge light keeps blinking.

I suggest try reinstall the cartridges following the directions in this page: http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c02835867, there is a video too. If still getting the error, the cartridges maybe defective and probably get a replacement.

Epson Action Laser Printer not recognized by Yosemite

I upgraded to Yosemite and now my ancient Epson Action Laser 1000 series printer is not recognized. I have reset the printing system, deleted the printer, looked for 3rd party software, etc. Does anyone have a solution to my issue? Other than replacing my printer!!! Thanks.

Sorry. I guess I should have been more explicit. Perhaps if I had said, "Do a thorough search, actually read through the threads, and follow the advice of people who have solved the exact same problem you have."

You know, i have never understood this, if you are so adversed to helping people, then why do you even logon or post in a help forum at all? it has always perplexed me when people come to help forums and make a thread for help, and the help that person gets is, 'search for another thread that has the answer'. This happens enough times since people that log on to help forums like yourself, just hate helping people, and eventually, a search ends up like this.
Search 'USB printer not recognized'
Returns 20 threads, all with 1 or 2 replies that say something along the lines of, 'this is solved in another thread, search it up'.
So now everyone gets to go through 20 threads just to get nowhere. Then finally, after spending 2.5 hours searching through 20 useless threads, since nobody could post any help in them, you find the thread with a solution, and its 71 pages long and has 30 different try this, no try that, that didn't work says one person, oh, it did says another, instead of just posting the link to the wiki in each of the subsequent threads...but that is just asking too much out of anyone, after all, they are too busy looking at threads in a help forum that they know the solution to, and making posts for the poster to look for a solution, instead of actually helping...
I guess it just bugs me. If i had found the answer, i wouldn't have posted about it now would I?

Hp officejet 4680 is not recognized by either wireless or usb connection. Windows 7 OS.

This printer used to work wirelessly to my Windows Vista Laptop, then I bought a new HP tower computer and now the printer is not recognized by anything, new or old. New computer is an HP Pavilion Elite HPE running Win 7, old computer is a Sony laptop running Vista. I've tried turning on and off everything several times, unistalling and reinstalling all softwware several times, and running the HP Home Network Diagnostic Utility (both basic and advanced tools) several times. I have a Netgear 2.4GHz wireless network router -- Security type WPA2, Encyption type AES and a functioning Netwrok securty key that is not recognized by the wireless network setting on by the wirelsss netwrok wizard on the printer tools application. I don't remember running the network wizard to enable the printer when I was only using the laptop.
Any help wopuld be most grateful.
Thanks.

I just fixed my J4680 printer a couple of minutes ago (see my post).
Step 1: Unplug your printer
Step 2: Uninstall the program J4680 and ALL associated HP programs (IRIS, Websmart, etc.). There is a screen to select ALL programs.
Step 3: Reboot your PC to complete the uninstallation
Step 4: Plug in your printer
Step 5: Download the FULL j4680 package from HP's support website:
Step 6: Run the Installation. The first screen will ask if you want a Wireless connection so click on that. It connected my printer automatically.
That's it. My printer is printing and scanning great.

PRO8600 Not recognizing new ink cartridge

I just changed the cyan cartridge in my Pro8600 printer, as I have previously done with no problem. However, the printer is not recognizing that the new cartridge has been installed. After closing the door and allowing the machine to cycle through its initial process, the window again appears stating that the cyan ink is empty and must be replaced to continue printing. I've removed the cartridge and reinserted it several times to no avail. I've also tried a second new cartridge, again with same results. Any ideas?

Hello bryantk37127,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with the ink cartridges not being recognized in the printer.
I do have a few suggestions that we can try in the attempt to troubleshoot this issue.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
I have also located a document that deals with this issue as well as other errors. Please click on the following link for when An 'Ink Cartridge Failure,' 'Incompatible Ink Cartridges,' or 'Ink Cartridge Problem' Error Message ....
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
Thanks for your time.

Cartridge Not Recognized

I have installed two brand new XL cartridges in my HP Laserjet P2055dn over the past two weeks and now it keeps asking for a new cartridge when I turn it on. It seems as if the printer is not recognizing the cartridges? I have tried reinstalling the cartridge and unconnecting power and reconnecting. This seems to work for a couple of days, then the same thing...........I get the message "install new cartridge." I thought that it was a bad cartridge, but since I have installed two from different sources over the past two weeks, I do not think that is the issue. Help!

Hello @kbcf , and welcome to the HP Forums.
I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at HP Commercial LaserJet Forums.
I hope this helps!
