HP office jet 6600 will not scan via wifi to PC

Hi there,
The scanner is not communicating with the PC (whereas the printing fuction is working as normal), is the device required to be connected by cable for the scanning function to work or how do I get the PC to be recognised?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Aimee

  • HT1338 hp 100 office jet printer will not connect via bluetooth to my mac pro running os 10.9

    I once was able to connect via blue tooth to my HP mobile office jet printer with my Mac pro. but ever since i have upgraded to OS 10.9 it will not pair with my laptop. I have gone too the HP site and downloaded the current drivers for this printer as well as check apple updates. it still will not connect via bluetooth

  • My hp office jet printer will not scan a document wirelessly print works fine on wireless any thoughts on this problem

    my hp printer will not scan a document wirelessly the wireless print funtion works fine i have to plug the usb cable into the laptop to scan a document any thoughts on how to do this wirelessly thanks

    i have to plug the usb cable into the laptop to scan a document
    This is because HP has not provided network USB drivers to allow scanning when the all-in-one is connected to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme.
    HP has only provided drivers to allow printing when the all-in-one is connected to the USB port on the AirPort Extreme. To be fair, other manufacturers who offer all-in-one products do the same thing.
    If you need to scan documents, you will need to connect the all-in-one to the USB port on your computer....until HP offers full featured network USB drivers. Check with HP Support for possible progress in this regard.
    If your all-in-one happens to offer wireless connection options or wired Ethernet options to connect to your network, you should have full functionality that way.

  • Samsung CLX3185FW will not print via WiFi since installing Maverick OS

    My MacBook PRO recognises failsto connectto teh printer via WiFi despite I have inserted the correct printer IP address when goiong through the process of adding the printer again. I can connect to this multifunction printer/scanner/fax. I can also access the printer itself via the "Open printer utility" in System Preferences > Printer & Scanners > Options & Supplies > Utility printer utilities and see the cartridges toner level but the printer is in "Sleeping" mode. All attempts to wake the printer up or resume existing jobs in the queue fail.
    Not sure what else to try.
    Thanks for any help.

    I have found the solution to this issue.
    I connected the Samsung CLX3185FX directly to the router and switched the router on/off (not sure the latter is strictly required). I did not need to reboot the MacbookPro. This worked. Not only I could print but also, upon disconetting the ethernet cable form the printer, it all worked again wirelessly.
    Probably this is has to do with the printer using dynamic IP and the inherent instability of this on the WiFi network. The direct ethernet cable connection printer-to-router fixed it. I waited for the printer to go on stand-by to see if it could be woken up for printing from the MacBook PRO, which was one of the issues I had after installing Maverick OS. It all worked fine.

  • HP Office Jet 4620 Will Not Print Black

    I have had my HP Officejet 4620 for almost two years.  Until a couple of weeks ago, it was printing perfectly - no problems at all.  In the last couple of weeks, however, the printer is having problems printing in black.  At first, the black was rather staggered (e.g. the top half of a line would be black, bottom half of line would be grey or non-existent).  The only way to get it print consistently in black was to set the print quality to "best".  This only worked for a couple of days.  Now the black will only print out in the most very faded grey - almost invisible.  I have tried everything suggested on the forum - new cartridges, venting, alignments, printhead cleaning and so forth and so forth.  Nothing works.  I have run HP Print and Scan Doctor 4.3 but to no avail.  The printer simply appears to be unable to print any longer in black.  I notice that many people seem to be experiencing the same problem with no solution.  I am somewhat inclined to believe that there is a product deficiency or problem associated with this printer that HP does not want to discuss on the Forum.  I am at my wit's end.  The only solution I see is to purchase a new printer.  This is unfortunate since I hate to scrap a piece of hardward as new as this.  I also suspect there is no point in trying to get it repaired since the repairs will probably cost more than a new printer (my printer is no longer under warrantly).  Does anyone have any further thoughts, suggestins or comments?  Can someone from HP please explain why this problem seems to be so common and unfixable?  Many thanks!!

  • Office jet 4630 will not enable web services

    I have the printer installed on my computers wirelessly and the wireless connection says it is excellent but when I hit the button to connect it to enable web services I get an error telling me that my printer could not connect to the server. Tells me to check my internet connection or the proxy settings. I have checked everything, including the proxy settings and nothing has helped. I contacted HP customer service and they were about useless. I contacted my ISP as suggested to help me with my proxy settings and they were just as useless. I am fed up and ready to return the printer, but I would really like the instant ink program. I am not sure if this is just a problem with this printer or all of these types of printers. Any help would be appreciated on how to get this fixed or what to do, that is not someone telling me that I need to talk to someone else. I even had my son who is a computer engineer try to fix it and he couldn't do it, so I am baffled. HELP!!!

    Hi Theladie and welcome the HP Support Forum. It sounds like the printer is on your local WiFi network but does not have internet connectivity. Here's what you can try to resolve this issue:
    Get the printers IP address (this should display under the wireless menu on the front panel) and enter it into a browser on an internet connected computer
    This brings you to the printers embedded web server (EWS) page 
    Click on the Network tab and then on the Networking link at the left hand side of the page
    Click on the Network Address (IP) option, toggle the Manual DNS Server button and enter the following settings:
    This solutions has worked for other people experiencing the same problem, hope the information helps.

  • Office jet 8600 won't scan more than one page

    My Office jet 8600 will only scan one page at a time.  It doesn't matter if I use the document feeder or put the document on the glass.  When the scanner asks if I have another page I select yes and then I receive a message telling me the scanner is already in use and can't scan another page.  I have talked to HP tech support twice and downloaded new drivers.  The scanner worked perfectly until the last few days when it started having this problem.  HP tech support was not able to help.

    Hi @LonghornJack 
    I am really not certain what would cause the message stating that the printer is in use when you try to scan a second page, but running the Print and Scan Doctor might help. The HP Print and Scan Doctor is a free utility (tool) that helps to quickly resolve common printing, scanning and connectivity issues including but not limited to:
    Connectivity:
    USB: Verifies that the USB connection from your computer to the HP product is working correctly.
    Network: Verifies that the network connection between your computer and your network is working correctly.
    Device Status Test: Checks for device errors such as out of paper, paper jams, carriage stalls, and paper feed issues, and then provides instructions for fixing the error.
    Driver Check: Checks for missing or corrupt driver files.
    Device Manager: Checks for problems in Device Manager that would prevent printing.
    Device Online: Checks if the product has been paused or set to offline, and then sets the status back to online if necessary.
    Print Queue: Checks for and clears pending print jobs in the print queue (a log of print jobs waiting to print).
    Port Match: Checks the port settings for the HP product.
    Device Conflicts: Checks for conflicts with other drivers, such as other printer brands.
    Ink Issues: Checks the cartridges and ink levels for issues that affect print quality.
    Print Settings: Checks and adjusts the print quality settings.
    Test Print: Prints a test page for print quality evaluation, and provides options for cleaning and aligning the printhead if necessary.
    Scan Tests: Checks the scan mechanism, drivers, and registry entries.

    If this does not resolve the issue, post back and let me know if there are any symbols other than green check marks and what they are next to of course. The wrench is not always easy to spot as the wrench and the check mart are in the green circle.
    If you see only green check marks (), the tool did not find any problems.
    If you see green wrenches (), the utility identified an issue and corrected it automatically.
    If you see yellow exclamation points (), the test failed and required user action, but the step was skipped.
    If you see a red X (), follow the on-screen instructions to resolve the issue.
    I look forward to hearing back from you.

  • I have a hp office jet 6600. It will not wake up to receive e-print.

    I just bought a office Jett 6600. It will only recieve E-print when it is awake. The print will not wake up to receive eprint. Not much good if i am traveling. <script id="JSScriptForDynamicControls" type="text/javascript" src="https://www.billeo.com/page/js/amex/insitedominspector.js"></script>

    I would make sure printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet. I would also make sure that printer had latest firmware update.

  • My iPad will not print to my wireless hp office jet 6600 anymore

    MY iPad will no longer print to my wireless hp office jet 6600 printer

    Hi Everyone,
    Don't spend too much time trying to figure this out.  Apple has total control of what apple products can do.  Since the upgrade to IOS my 6600 HP printer no longer is recognized by my Ipad.  Just to add insult to injury my Iphone's wifi is now greyed out and I can no longer use wifi.
    I didn't see this coming but think about how apple can force you to upgrade to other products by simply limiting a device's capability through an operating system upgrade.
    I made an appointment with an Apple genius today and they said "Sorry this is a hardware issue (Iphone) and you will need to upgrade."  Of course I will, a $700 phone or Ipad should only last a couple of years... right?
    I am not upset but I will be more critical in my future purchases of Apple products.

  • Psc 750 Will not scan

    hello,
    I have a hp psc 750 connected via usb cord to my hp  pavilion dv3 running windows 7 64 bit.  I can copy and print, but it will not scan.  When I try it says I need a WIA driver needed please reinstall with the CD or get it from online.  Online says I don't need any drivers when connected via usb (very frustrating!).  I have uninstalled and reinstalled the printer.  I've tried both a partial and a hard reset of the printer.  I have checked that the WIA, Shell Hardware Detection and Remote Procedure Call are all "started" and set to "automatic."  I have stopped and restarted all of them as directed in other forums all with no avail.  I have downloaded and run the "Scan doctor" from HP and it can't even detect a scanner.  I am seriously at a loss and want to throw my printer across the room and as the warranty is no longer relevant I can't get a real HP human to help me without paying money (not going to happen).  Any help would be appreciated!
    p.s. this printer was hooked up to another computer long, long ago and it's scan settings were set to that computer which is now completely dead so there is no way to change those settings even after "resetting" the printer.  It still wants to scan to a specific program on said old computer.  I have a feeling that is part of the issue, but have no idea how to "unset" the original settings considering even after I've done partial and hard resets, it still wants to scan to that location.
    HELP ME BEFORE I GO INSANE!!!

    Hi dna0825,
    Sorry that didn't work.
    I have provided a post from @pcwizard where he sets the Remote Procedure Call to manual and also the Shell Hardware Detection.
    I would try this to see if it makes a difference.
    Restart the Dependencies services.
    This is a Windows issue and I would highly recommend to contact the computer manufacturer or Microsoft to see if they can resolve this issue if that didn't work.
    Please let me know the results.

  • New color laserjet pro mfp m177 will not scan or copy

    Product is new. The problem is that this unit will not scan or copy.  I downloaded the latest drivers, but they would not install completely.  I also ran thru some trouble shooting guides on the HP website, but still it doesn't work.  It tries to make a copy, but it acts like it starts and then stops without completing the function.  It's almost like the scanner mechanism is stuck.  Anyone ever have this problem with a brand new printer?

    Hello , Thanks for posting in the HP Forums, and welcome! I understand you are unable to make a copy or scan on your new HP Color LaserJet Pro M177fw MFP. I'd like to help you with this. Firstly, do you have the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or is it in a surge protector or power bar? Even if you have been using a surge protector/power bar all this time and you feel it is not the cause, please connect it to a wall outlet just so we can eliminate the power source as the root cause. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector
    In this document you will see, ISSUE: Problems or issues may arise when an HP LaserJet series printer is connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), a power strip, or a surge protector
    ^ This is not limited to Laserjet printers. If the issue persists, I would suggest download and installing the most recent firmware for your unit. You can download the firmware update utility here:HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw Firmware UpdateNote: You will need to connect the printer via USB to update the firmware, as any interruption during the firmware update can cause more issues. If this still does not resolve the issue, please let me know if you are getting some sort of error message on the screen or any blinking lights to indicate what the problem may be. Hope this helps!
