HP Officejet 1600 all-in-one Scanner ONLY suddenly not recognized

Hi,
I seem to have ongoing issues with this machine. My computer randomly decides not recognize the scanner connection on my HP Officeseries 1600 All-In-One. Oddly enough, it recognizes the machine's printer and I can print with no problem. Yet in setting up the reinstalled software, it cannot find anything on the USB port. I uinstall and re-install the softwrae. The other day I used a new USB cord and it worked fine until this morning when I aborted a scan. From then on nothing I do will get the computer to recognize the scan via the USB port. I tried two other cables, one of which I know is good because I have another printer connected on that cable. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I revisited the HP website and they now have software for 10. 4, which they didn't the last time I had this problem. Downloaded that and now everything seems to be working fine....until next time, eh?

Windows 7 (automatic) and I (manual download from HP site) tried to install the printer driver software (64 bit system) and got an error software not supported. Went to the windows update site and the Officejet 4500 series was not listed. Is there any solution to this problem?

Scanner set up for HP Officejet J4680 All-In-One

I'm trying to set up to scan from the HP OfficejetJ4680 All-In-one. I do not know what software I need to download to my Acer laptop to get the scan function to work on the HP Officejet

Hi Susieque,
The best option, if it's available for your Operating System (Windows 7, etc.), is to download and install the Full Feature Software for your printer. The FFS includes the scanning option.
Here are the instructions:
=========================================================================
In many cases, you can (re)install the Full Feature Software for your printer to enhance its capabilities. The HP Solution Center is an integrated part of the FFS.
(Re)install the basic driver or Full Feature Software:
Drivers control hardware connected to the computer (wired or wireless).
Software controls the programs that interact with the User.
Go to the top of the forum page to Support and Drivers
Enter your Printer Model information, and then go to Software and Drivers...
Enter your Operating System in the Drop-down menu... Scroll down
Look for category Driver - Product Installation Software
Select the appropriate Basic Driver or Full Feature Software – if available for your printer Save the *.exe installation package on your computer -
NOTE the name and the location - the *.exe file will likely save to "Downloads “Install the Software / Driver installation package: It will be named *.exe – the package will most likely be located in the Downloads folder. If you have ‘Admin’ control, you may highlight the package and “double-click” to install it, else Right-Click, Select ‘run as Administrator’ and install.
NOTE: There is sometimes a lot of information at the printer’s website: manuals, how-to pages, and alerts for your printer. Be sure to take an extended look at what’s available.
==========================================================================
I hope this helps!

Can't get HP Officejet J6450 All-in-One to scan or print

Hello!
I have an HP Officejet J6450 All-in-One which I would like to use with my Macbook Pro running OS X 10.6.4. I would prefer a wireless setup. It printed wirelessly up until I tried installing the HP Full Feature Software & Drivers from their website (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-74787-1 &lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=219&product=3635399&sw_lang=)and subsequently deleted them once I realized it did not work. I also did not want to install a bulky and unnecessary set of programs that I do not need.
I went to the System Preferences/Print & Fax and deleted the HP printers that had been added, then I went to Applications/HewlettPackard and clicked on HP uninstall, and uninstalled the program. Since I have experience with Windows (lol), I decided to take the safe route and make sure my HD & permissions had not been corrupted. I put in my OS X install disk that came with my Macbook Pro, rebooted to the disk, went to Disk Utility and Repaired the Permissions (it only had one that it could not fix), repaired the HD (it found a few issues), and then went one more round of Repair Permissions and then HD just to be sure. I rebooted to the HD and ejected the boot disk. I connected the printer via the USB cable.
Then I found this: (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&softwareitem=mp-7 4787-1&os=219&product=3635399&sw_lang=&docname=c01910186) It says on there that Snow Leopard should have everything I need to scan and print with this printer. However, upon trying the three methods, none worked. Here are the results:
Method One: I get to step 2, select Import from Scanner, and nothing happens. The list that is supposed to be displayed in step 3 never comes.
Method Two: I open the Image Capture app in step 1, but when it comes up, it says "No camera or scanner connected."
Method Three: I get the Print & Fax printer browser opened as in step 3, but cannot move on to step 4 because there is no scan tab.
What can I do to get this to work? I tried contacting HP online chat, but they told me they do not offer support to Mac users on there. I sent them an email through their contact page but you know how that will probably go...
I'm an intermediate computer user, although I'm relatively new to Mac, so be easy on me! I'm scared to break this laptop I've fallen in love with. Many thanks to you all in advance, and my apologies if this has already been answered elsewhere - I was unable to find anything with this particular HP model and situation. I noticed HP does not seem very Mac-friendly!

Is this scanning from the PC and/or from the printer? Did it ever scan previously? Is this connected by USB/wired/wireless?
As far as the software, it would be a good idea to update your software, and I would recommend downloading the latest software at this location:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=1153494&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us
Just pick the right operating system, and get the download and run it. That may fix the scanning issue you are having.

HP OfficeJet 6500A all in one Printer . No European size envelopes apart from C6 on the printer.

We have the OfficeJet 6500A All In One Printer. It is on a network to two computers one using Windows Vista and the other Windows7.
It seems strange that the only size of envelope for the European Market is a C6. There is no facility for customising a DL or C5 which are the other two popular sizes of envelopes. We cannot customize from either computer. We have tried altering the specifications of other envelopes listed for the printer but to no avail. Has anyone got a solution to this problem or are we going to have to wait for HP to upgrade the printer programme. Word Perfect Office X4 is the word procesing programme in use plus a basic Microsft Word that is OEM.

Hi jspin3,
I'd like to help. For now, I would hold off on the uninstall and reinstall. Can you answer some questions?
Is the printer connected by USB, Ethernet or wireless?
Do you get any error messages?
Does a blank page come out or do no pages come out when you try to print from the computer?
If you put a document face down on the scanner glass, are you able to make a photocopy?
Can you estimate the ink levels, in percent full for each cartridge, by looking at the printer ink gauge? Click Here
If you print a Self Test Report, do all of the colors print?

Help! I've spent hours researching this and can't find a solution...
I upgraded 3 Intel Macs in the house to Snow Leopard last weekend. All went differently...but all were successful. I found that the connection to my HP Officejet 7410 (connected wirelessly to 802.11g Airport Express (AEX) network) was "broken". Deleted then "re-intalled". Documents could now be printed. I then found out scan function was "broken". Figured out how to scan with new Snow Leopard "baked-in" driver and Scan tab...different, but it worked.
Then, tonight, on the eve of my birthday, I was given the green light to purchase an Airport Extreme 802.11n (dual-band) base station (AEBS). I set it up and got 2.5X speed on the two 802.11n laptops in the household. Glorious! Then I went to work to ensure print and scan functions were still operational. Tried to re-connect HP OJ 7410 to wireless network...when it found the network it asked for the "WEP" key (on previous AEX network I was secured utilizing WPA2/Personal)...I entered the WPA2/Personal password (same as previous network) and got the error message "Key must be 5 or 13 characters OR 10 or 26 length with 0-9 and A-F (hex)". So I turned off the wireless radio and instead plugged the 7410 into the AEBS via USB. Deleted the previous queue and re-installed. Found the printer no problem but now without the Scan tab or function anywhere...despite following all the recommendations found both on the HP site and here in the Apple Forums. I print fine. Can't for the life of me figure out what the problem with the now lost again Scan function is.
Only strangeness I can think of is the following: When setting up the network(s), I had the option of naming the 5 ghz band something different. I set mine up with the same name of the 2.4 ghz network with 5ghz in parenthesis (i.e. BobbyG and BobbyG (5 Ghz)).
Sorry for the long post but we need the scan function in the house for my wife's teaching purposes. Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated.
Very Respectfully,
Bobby G.

HP OfficeJet 5505 All-In-One wireless printing.

I've got a problem getting a HP OfficeJet 5505 All-In-One printer working with a Time Capsule for wireless printing.. I'm not quite sure how to debug this, so I'm asking for a little help.
If I connect the printer directly to the Mac, It is properly recognized when I go to add it into the printers list, and documents print normally.
Now when connected to the TimeCapsule, It looks to be recognized in the Airport Utility, and when I go to add it into the printers list, I can see it connected to the Time Capsule.. One difference is that I have to manually choose the printer driver rather than it being auto selected..
When I print a document, it looks like it spools up normally, and gets sent to the printer.. However the printer never starts, or prints.
After reading a few posts it looks like there might be some compatibility issue between office jet printers and the Time Capsule/Airport Extreme as I am not the only one with issues.
Any ideas?

The OfficeJet 5505 uses LIDIL (lightweight imaging device interface language) which depends on the host computer for low level commands. It will not work with the Time Capsule's USB port.
Technically, neither the printer nor the TC is at fault. The printer will only work when connected directly to a computer's USB port. Searching for drivers will be a futile exercise.
Sorry for the bad news. If you want to get a printer on your network, get a network printer.

HP Officejet 4500 All-in-One Printer - G510g installation windows 8.1 64bit

After operating a HP Officejet 4500 All-in-One Printer - G510g from both an old Windows XP notebook and from an ASUS Windows 8, 64bit laptop, subsequently updated to 8.1; I'm now trying to install it to run from a Toshiba Satellite NB10T-A notebook Windows 8.1 64bit, but without success.
The original installation CD does not provide an installation but on start up (presumably because it is only compatible with Windows XP and 7.
The www.hp.com site offers a download of a full driver for the printer, forWindows 8.162bit. This seems to download fine. The file unpacks, says it is installing, but on completion the driver is not available.
There are no options to uninstall, either in control panel/printers or in control panel/software.
Without the driver, the Windows 8.1 system recognises the printer and allows simple printing ffrom applications. However, it is not possible to use the scan options, giving the error message that the driver is not available. Neither HP Solution Center or HP Document Manager are installed.
I have tried HP Print and Scan Doctor. This recognises the printer on USB link, says that there are missing drivers, downloads, unpacks and installs drivers. But the printer icon in control panel/printers continues to have an alarm icon and indicates that the printer is still missing drivers.
I have also tried the HP Printer Installation Wizard. The result is similar.
Please advise how I can install the scan options of this equipment and confirm that the machine is compatible with windows 8.1 64bit.
Thank you
This question was solved.

Hello @monc , welcome to the HP forums!
I read through your post about how you cannot scan on your Windows 8.1 computer as the driver and software doesn't seem to be completing successfully on your system. However, you have been able to install the printer and its functioning fine on other computers.
I would suggest checking the Control Panel to see if there are any printer files to uninstall: Uninstalling the Printer Software
Restart the PC afterwards
Perform a Clean Boot
Restart the PC again
Download and install the printer again: HP Officejet Full Feature Software and Driver
If you see any error messages or codes during the installation process, make note of the exact problem or error and post me back a screen shot or the details.
Good luck

HP Officejet 6310 all-in-one wireless option questions

I have a HP Officejet 6300 All-in-One printer and I was using it with my wire network connection. I just moved to a new home, which I rent, and I do not want to make new wholes to past the cables then this is my question:
"I have a Cisco Linksys AE1000 high performance wireless-N usb adpater (dual band)" and I saw this product Female USB A to Male Ethernet RJ45 Plug Adapter (on Amazon that I think will be great if I can use it). Can I connect them to make my printer wireless?"
Please help.
Thanks.
BAK

Unfortunately that will not work for this printer. Wireless printing is set up through the printers software that you install on your computer. Since this printer is not a wireless printer, there will be no option to set it up wirelessly in the software, the only options will be ethernet or USB.
