Hp Officejet 6700 premium scanning problem

I have windows 8.  I can print from laptop.  When I scan to PDF in email, get error message on laptop that Printer and laptop cannnot connect.  Checked printer setup IP, is correct.  Used HP scan DR., said proble fixed, but scanned  and failure.
Would appreciste any help?

Thank you for your reply.
I usually scan by using frnt panel of printer.  I click scan, to pc, pdf and start scan.  Usually a pdf attachment to email.
On the frnt panel of printer pops up:  "Scan unsuccessful"  lists the following:
The scan cannot be completed to one or more of the following issues:
1.  The connection to the pc is lost
2.  The scan operation on the pc is in use.
3.OCR application is not installed on the pc
4.  See the pc monitor for details.
Once in a while I will get a pop on pc screen after trying scan that says :  Go to administrator for printer set up. 
I was scanning up to about 2 weeks ago and then it stopped.  Really frustated.
Hope this helps.
Jim

    Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
    Well, the package Description does say the Full Feature Software is available for XP -- but you have to install the software to be sure.  Smiling.
    Before you apply any changes to your computer, always create a Restore Point:
    Create a System Restore Point in Windows XP
    Later, should you need to do so, you can "go back" to where you were:

  • Not recognizing HP OfficeJet 6700 Premium for Scanning

    Hi to all, 
    I bought and set up an HP OfficeJet 6700 Premium. It is working fine for printing. However it won't recognize the HP Office Jet for scanning. Attempted both from device and from PC. I get a message that device was "not found"...I am running Windows 7.1
    The manual says this below: 
    If your printer is connected to a network and you are scanning to a Windows
    computer, before you can scan from the control panel, you need to enable scanning
    from the software. From the computer desktop, click Start, select Programs or All
    Programs, select the folder for your HP printer, and then select the option for your
    HP printer. Double-click Scanner Actions, double-click Manage Scan to
    Computer, and then click Enable.
    I see the HP printer from the Programs menu, but I cannot get to the instruction - Scanner Actions.
    Please help.
    Thank you.

    Hi ColleenM,
    I am sorry to hear you are having such difficulty scanning. The HP Print and Scan Doctor (PSDR) was designed by HP to provide users with the troubleshooting and problem solving features needed to resolve many common problems experienced with HP print and scan products connected to Windows-based computers.
    On an unrelated note, there was a firmware update released for the Officejet 6700 that you may or may not need. This firmware update likely has nothing to so with the issue you are experiencing but I would like to take the opportunity to let you know about it. Having the newest update does the following:
    Fix/Enhancement
    1) Enhance ePrint Diagnostic report for ePrint Setup.
    2) Improve ease of wireless setup.
    3) Enhanced Embedded Web Services.
    4) Improve Print Quality.
    5) Improve Airport Express connectivity.
    6) Improve the accuracy & reliability of ink level gauge.
    7) Improve ADF pick performance.
    8) Improved paper handling
    To check the version of your current printer firmware:
    Printer Information Screen
    1. From the Control panel, press Help (?) button, select Printer Information
    2. Use the down arrow button to scroll to the 2nd screen
    3. The current firmware revision will appear on the screen
    If you do not have Version MPM3CN1322DR you need the update.
    HP Officejet 6700 Premium e-All-in-One Firmware.
    Let me know what happens with the PSDR. If the issue persists let me know, I am eager to help you resolve this.

  • OfficeJet 6700 Premium Problems after Windows 8.1 update

    My Officejet 6700 Premium worked great wirelessly under Windows 7 to print & Scan.  Since updating to Windows 8.1, I can print to the printer wirelessly (having set it up manually from the printer), but the software won't load and I can't scan.  Setting up a network connection using downloaded HP software fails (it just says it failed, no error message), and trying to download the entire software package (which includes scan, which I need), also fails during step 1 of 4.  I tried uninstalling all HP software first, but the same errors persist.  I don't want to mess things up further (as I said, I'm able to print wirelessly now), but I really want to be able to scan to the computer.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello mfrank1,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having some printing issues since you upgraded to Windows 8.1.
    I do have a few troubleshooting steps that we can try to resolve this issue.
    I first suggest that we uninstall the old software and drivers. I realize that you have already attempted to do this but I still would like to try it again but this time using the following document:  Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    When you stated that you have the printer connected with a direct connection using wireless, is this with a Bluetooth connection? Do you have a Router that you are going through?
    Once the software is uninstalled, please restart the computer.  Please disable any firewalls or anti virus protection before starting the next step.
    When the computer is back up and running, please click on the following link for the HP Officejet Full Feature Software and Driver.
    Please save the download to the Desktop of the computer so that it creates it's own Icon.  Double click on the new Icon and follow the instructions.
    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.
    Thank you for your time.

  • Scan-to-email app with Officejet 6700 Premium printer

    how to scan and email
    Scan-to-email app with Officejet 6700 Premium printer - attachment does not come through

    Hi
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums.  I see that you are unable to use the scan to email feature of your Officejet 6700 printer because you are getting an unable to connect message.
    There are several steps I would like you to try please. 
    Please turn off your printer. 
    Please turn off your router.  If your router doesn’t have an on/off switch, please unplug the power cord from the router.
    After waiting a full 60 seconds please turn on your router (or plug it back in). 
    After the router has completed its startup routine please turn on your printer.
    After the printer has completed its startup routine, please test the scan to email feature.  If it works there no need to continue with any further trouble shooting steps.
    Please set a manual IP address and manual DNS servers for the printer. I have included a link to another post with the steps, including screen shots on how to do this.   Don’t worry that the screen shots show a Officejet 8600 printer, the steps are the same.
    Please test the scan to email feature.  If it works there is no need to continue with any further trouble shooting steps.
    Please call HP’s Cloud Services at 1-855-785-2777 if you live in the USA/Canada region. If you live outside the USA/Canada region please click here to find the Technical Support number for your country/region.

  • Scanning with an Officejet 6700 Premium

    Hi!
    I'm having trouble scanning documents.
    My laptop is a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.10.1 (Yosemite).
    The printer is an Officejet 6700 Premium e-All-in-One. It is connented via WiFi -- the Printers & Scanners section of System Preferences lists it as HP Officejet 6700-AirPrint.
    I *can* print documents, so the setup is not entirely messed up...
    The printer makes copies, so the scanning hardware must be OK.
    I downloaded and installed fresh drivers from the HP website.
    I *can* scan documents by going to the printer's webpage, then to Scan > Webscan. This only works in Firefox, not in Chrome, and doesn't give me the option to select the are I'd like to scan. It's rather inconvenient.
    What *doesn't* work:
    -Webscan in the Chrome browser: the scanner makes some noise but I can't save the result.
    -In Preview, File > Import from Scanner... is disabled. This used to work and was very convenient, but then broke somehow.
    -HP Scan. It says "Preparing to scan..." for a couple of seconds then pops up an error message: "Scanner reported an error. HP Officejet 6700 is currently unavailable. Please check if it is turned on and connected, or try again later."
    -"Scan to computer" from the printer. A popup appears on my computer screen: 
    "Scan failed. The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.hp.scanhandler.error error 2.)"
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! It would be wonderful if we could get Preview's Import from Scanner... function to work.
    Thanks,
    b

    Ha!
    I fixed it.
    Here's what I did:
    -Run HP Uninstaller to remove... everything?
    -Reboot the laptop.
    -Do a factory reset on the printer, then re-enter the WiFi password.
    -Download the driver (is that what it is?) from hp.com/support. I noticed that the file is called "HP Inkjet SW OSX Mavericks.pkg" even though my OS is called Yosemite.
    -Install that, following all prompts. When I added the printer I picked"HP Officejet 6700" rather than "AirPrint" for"Use:"even though AirPrint would have been the default and the choice of "Auto Select". See attached screenshot.
    -Go to Preview, menu File > Import from HP Officejet 6700... and test. Success!
    Of course I don't know which of these things made the difference, but it worked for me.
    Cheers,

  • Hp officejet 6700 premium printer-printer failure

    I bought a HP officejet 6700 premium a month ago.  I installed the printer and it printed ok.  But after a few day of use, it suddenly stopped printing and gave a Printer Failure massage on the front control panel.  The message says: There is a problem with the printer or ink system.  Turn printer off then on.  If problem persists, contact HP.  I have checked all ink cartridges.  They seem all ok (I have only print less than 10 pages since installed). I have turned power off and on several times but did'nt work.   I have searched all over the HP website for help, but still can't find a solution for my printer problem.   I deeply appreciate, if someone can help me or give me directions to make my new printer works again.  Thanks.
    P.S.  my laptop computer has Winders 7.

    Did you get an answer? I think the problem lies with the blue print head with the gold pins, they get bent when you change out printer cartridges. Several folks have had this problem. I watched a youtube video of repairman saying both the 6600 and 6700 printer had this problem until HP changed the print heads. I am still fussing with HP about this but I am pretty certain I won't get any relief. Good luck

  • Is there a workaround for Officejet 6700 Premium for MacBook Air version 10.10

    Is there are a workaround for compatibility issue between OfficeJet 6700 Premium with MacBook Air OS X 10.10 Yosemite?

    Welcome to the forums @Bron15
    I read your post about wanting a work around for your Officejet 6700 to be used on 10.10.
    There is a Full Feature driver available for you to install on Yosemite, therefore it's fully compatible. Download the driver below. If there are any issues, please let me know what exactly the problems are.

  • OS X 10.10 for Officejet 6700 Premium?

    Is an OSX 10.10 (Yosemite) driver available yet for the HP Officejet 6700 Premium? 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Assuming you are using a network connection, try unplugging your router for 30 seconds and plug it back.
    Next restart your Mac and turn the printer Off and On again, then check for any difference.
    If that doesn't help, try resetting the printing system and check again:
    *Be aware that resetting the printer system will remove any existing print queue and reset any customized driver settings.
    Click the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences .
    Select Printers & Scanners.
    Right-click (or Ctrl + click) your product in the Printers list in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system .
    Click OK to confirm the reset.
    Type your user Name and Password .
    Click OK . The printing system resets.
    Now click the plus sign and try adding the printer.

  • My Mac stoped printing. I am on ox 10.9 and I have a HP Officejet 6700 premium

    My Mac stoped printing. I am on ox 10.9 and I have a HP Officejet 6700 premium. I've reinstalled the drivers and tried several time . . . It just keeps telling me that the printer is busy.
    I also have a PC hocked up to the network and it prints fine.
    There is nothing wrong with my mac either because I have a dymo printer hocked up and it prints fine . . . 
    What gives?

    Hi HappyHarpo, 
    Thanks for your post and welcome to the HP Forum.
    At first step I suggest to restart your Mac and printer. If printer is in a network, also reboot the router first. Then try printing again. 
    If it still fails, I suggest to reset the printing system. Open Printers & Scanners and right-click the left side with the listed printer then choose Reset Printing System. 
    Then add the printer again, make sure next to "Use" the HP Printer/driver is selected correctly, and test printing. 
    Best regards,
    Mandy

  • HP Officejet 6700 Premium - Missing or Failed Printhead Error Message

    Can anyone help me troubleshoot the error message for an HP Officejet 6700 Premium Printer:Missing or failed printhead. The printhead appears to be missing, not detected, or incorrectly installed.This error message popped up in the middle of printing. I looked online and the only troubleshooting support they provided was to turn the printer off, unplug for 15 seconds, and turn back on. I did that 3 times now, and it has not solved the problem. Has anyone else had this error message and been able to resolve it, or will I just need to buy a new printer? I would appreciate any advice. Thank you. 

    Two months have gone by, and no feedback from HP whatsoever. It's clear that they are completely aware that there is a widespread defect on this model, and they have no plans to address it. I'm sure they weighed their options, whether it was in their best financial interest to either address the problem & provide support, or to sweep it under the rug & lose customers like ourselves. It looks like, in this case, we're expendable. I couldn't go too long without a printer, and since the definition of "insanity" is doing the same thing over & over while expecting a better result, I opted to choose a different brand. About 6 weeks ago, I chose an Epson WorkForce WF-7510 wide-format all-in-one. It retailed at $250, but is usually on-sale for a little over $200. It has been fantastic. It is light-years quieter & smoother running than HP 6700, has a very innovative feeder tray that opens & closes (and folds nearly flat in the closed position), and performs fantastically. It runs, looks, & feels far more substantial than the last two HP's we've owned. Claims that it's of office-grade quality isn't just fluffing / lip-service as it was with the 6700. It really is a professional-grade product. I'm sorry that it didn't work out with HP. They've lost a customer. I'm sure that we're far from the only ones. Based on this experience, and that HP is trying to avoid addressing what is obviously an epidemic problem for this model, I've learned not to give them anymore of our business.

  • HP Officejet 6700 Premium

    Hi,
    I need advice regarding what to do so I again can scan on my printer.
    I have no clue why I suddenly  cannot scan. The message on the printer is:
    Windows: Open Hp Printer software, select Scanner Actions, and then select Manage Scan to Computer.
    I did not ever change any settings which is the reason why I dont understand what has happened nor do I understand exactly WHERE I am supposed to locate HP Printer software so I can select Scanner Actions
    I should mention my computer is a HP Sleekbook with Windows 8.1 installed.
    Hopefully somebody can tell me what to do.
    Thanks

    Hi cath9999,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand that, you cannot scan with your HP Officejet 6700 premium to a Windows 8.1 PC. I am happy to help you with this scanning issue! I have a few questions for you:
    How is the printer connected? Wireless, Ethernet, or USB?
    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. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
    In the meantime, please try our HP Print and Scan Doctor, and let me know what happens.
    Thank you for posting, and have a great day!
