HP OfficeJet Pro X576dw Scan to Computer function not working.

Hi,
I wonder if anyone can help me. I recently setup a new HP OfficeJet Pro X576dw on network and most printer features work fine with the exception of the "Scan to Computer" feature that is not working for one specific Mac running OS X 10.9.4.
The "Scan to Computer" (as the name suggests) allows you to scan a document at the printer and send the scanned document to a specific computer on your network. This feature requires that the client computer is Enabled for "Scan to Computer" which is done via HP Utility application (Mac HD > Library > Printers > hp > Utilities) and works on a client Mac we have running Mac OS X 10.8.5 but not Mac OS X 10.9.4, you cannot tick the Enable tickbox on the latter Mac OS X 10.9.4.
Orginally I never installed an software that can with the printer on CD or Download and simply used the built-in Mac OS X drivers for this printer which have worked fine. I have since downloaded and installed the latest driver software but the enabling of "Scan to Computer" is still not a tickable option on the client computer running Mac OS X 10.9.4. Any ideas?

HP Officejet pro 8610 scan to computer OSX 10.10

Dear all,
I've just bought a HP Officejet pro 8610 and it prints like a charm. I can't however scan to my computer. According to the manual I have to activate the scan to computer function in the utility program but I have no such option. Am I missing something? It works fine on my dads windows 8.1 laptop.
With kind regards,
Anthony

Hi charlene025,
Thank you again for responding!
It sounds like there is a driver conflict on your computer, especially since it is showing an older printer. I am going to recommend the following:
Uninstall the printer software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Reset the printing system. OS X Yosemite: Reset the printing system.
Verify and repair disk permissions. Disk Utility 12.x: Repair disk permissions.
Reboot the computer.
Reinstall the software from this website. HP Officejet Pro 8610 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers.
Once these steps are completed try and re-enable the scan to computer function again.
Hope this works!

HP OfficeJet Pro 8620 Scan to Email Function

HP OfficeJet Pro 8620 is a great value for all the features it provides. "Scan to Email" was one of the reasons i bought this printer. Even though i can make this fucntion work with my gmail and iCloud emails, i feel very uncomfortable in providing those emails credentials while setting up this funciton.
1) Does the printer store the user name/password encrypted?
2) Does EWS encrypt the password while sending it to SMTP service?
3) Does HP provide SMTP service with HP Connected or HP Support Forum (this forum!) credentials. I will feel more comfortable in using HP's username/password for this service than GMail or Apple
Your help is much appreciated.
This question was solved.

Hi,
If I remember correctly, the printer should offer you to save the email address to the adress book while scanning to email, I do not have any acces to the printer correctly to ensure that.
Additionally to add email addresses to the Email Address Book, complete the following steps:
1. Open the embedded web server (EWS) by clicking Printer Home Page (EWS from teh HP Officejet Pro 8620 software Or
by browsing the printer IP from your browser (Click he Ethernet or Wireless icon on the bottom of the screen to see it.)
2. On the Scan tab, click Email Address Book.
3. Click New to add a single email address.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions. The entry is added to the Email Address Book.
You may add up to 15 email addresses.

Officejet Pro 8600 scan to computer with Mac OS 10.6.8

I have reinstalled the software, selecting HP Recommended Software. I have restarted the computer and done a software update. I can print from my computer to the printer. But I cannot "scan to computer" using the touchpad on the front of the printer. When I select it, the message says "No Computer Found." When I open the HP utility on the computer, under scan settings there is NO "scan to computer" option to select, even though the printer says I need to select it.
I can scan a document using by opening the settings on the computer, but I cannot figure out how to tell it to use the document feeder. So I figured I would try it from the printer itself. But I cannot get that to work.

Try scanning FROM your Mac. Use Image Capture app in your Applications folder.
Click once on the scanner on the left side, then click on Show Details along the bottom. Along the right side you will see LOTS of options for scanning and saving.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 fax from computer will not fax more than one page without canceling job

HP Officejet Pro 8600 MFP running on Windows 7 64 bit. I purchased this printer almost a month ago. The install was simple and straight forward with no apparent problems but when trying to fax from computer the program seems to be only able to fax one page faxes. Any multiple page faxes will show a message "spooling" for 10 to 15 seconds then it will cancel the entire fax. I have tried this in both wired and wireless modes with the same results. I have sent 30 page plus faxes from the printer without any problems, it is only the fax from computer that seems to have memory issues. Any solutions out there?

Have you tried updating the firmware on the printer?
If not, here is a link to the most recent firmware:

HP Officejet Pro 8000 A809a - network connection does not work

Hi,
I just purchased the Officejet Pro 8000 (without wireless). Printer works great when connected and installed via USB, but network connection is just ... awkward. Meaning it doesn't want to work
Question: when I connect the printer via ethernet, the printer should automatically obtain an IP-adress from my router's DHCP-server, right?
Well that doesn't happen here. I printed the network configuration page several times, each time it states that the printer has the IP 169.254.90.4 with 255.255.0.0 as subnet. My local network is 192.168.2.0 with 255.255.255.0 as subnet. So the connection to the printer cannot work. Why doesn't the printer automatically obtain the network config of my network and how can I change this behavior?
Any help would be very appreciated.

Sometimes DSL providers have more control over the router than the printer likes.
- Unplug the telephone line and printer's Ethernet from the router.
- Turn the power off on the router, wait 30 seconds, then turn the power back on.
- Connect Ethernet between the printer and router.
- Now find the IP address of the printer (it should be on the self-test printout), type it into a browser.
- In screen you will find a Networking Tab, then on the left Wireless, then the IPv4 Tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you know what that is, set an IP outside that range but no higher than 255 (the last number in the address).
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Use the router's IP address for the gateway and the first DNS (leave the second blank).
- Finally, plug in the phone line and test.

Satellite Pro A300 standby and hibernate functions not working properly

I have a new satellite Pro A300 PSAJ1E - 01E00VIT, and I'm finding this problem:
Sometimes, (not always: may be it depends on which program is running) when trying to put the computer in stand-by or in hibernate mode, it doesn't stop, but only shuts down the monitor (panel), while the fan goes on running and the power light is green. Obviously, lots of battery energy consumption!
Then there is no other way of resuming than shutting down the computer by holding down the power button long time... but this is not correct!
NB: my computer is always connected to a lan, and generally there are some browser windows open when I put it in stand-by mode.
How can I fix this?
jomurray

Generally you are right but the point is that you have said that this issue doesnt happen always but sometimes.
> Sometimes, (not always: may be it depends on which program is running) when trying to put the computer in stand-by or in hibernate mode, it doesn't stop
Fact is that some single applications which are running can prevent the execution of standby mode or hibernation mode.
Therefore if you are running such programs you will have to close it firstly.
I dont say that this must be done with all applications. ;)

HP Officejet Pro X576dw MFP scan to network folder

HP Officejet Pro X576dw MFP Scan to Network Folder function is producing error messages in the Network Folder Setup. The error message reads: """A problem occurred during the test. Click "Edit" to check your settings, and then try again. For more information, visit hp.com-support Ideally, I'd like scans to plop right on my Desktop. I'd settle for any folder, however.
Here's my current pathway, which seems to be unacceptable: \\MYMAC\Public\Scans.
I've also tried: \\MYMAC\MYNAME\Public\Scans
I've also tried: \\MYMAC\MYNAME\Public
I've also tried: \\MYMAC\MYNAME\Scans
I've also tried: \\MYMAC\DESKTOP\Scans
I've also tried: \\MYMAC\MYNAME\DESKTOP
I've also tried prayer, beer, and breaking things. Now I thought I'd try this forum.

If this is a windows computer, save the folder on the C: drive and use the CMD prompt and type ipconfig then take note of the IP address of the PC and make the scanner path very simple. For example, if my computer's IP address was 192.168.0.13 and I saved my folder to the C drive titled Scans, the file path would look like this:
\\192.168.0.13\Scans or even just 192.168.0.13\Scans
Then update the scanner defaults to go to that folder and do a test scan, making note of the exact error message if one appears.
It sounds like you could be having an authentication error. Let me know if you would like assistance as the date on this is kinda far back.
Always happy to help.

Officejet Pro X576dw MFP and Yosemite won't scan

Our new Officejet Pro X576dw MFP no longer scans. It was working fine and I'm not 100% sure that it stopped scanning when I upgraded to Yosemite, or if that's just a coincidence. The computer monitor is an iMac.
The error message is
The scan could not be completed due to one or more of the following issues:
-Connection to the computer is lost
-The scan application on the computer is currently in use
-OCR application is not installed on the computer
See the computer monitor for details.
When I try the work around of scanning through the Preview app, the document doesn't feed into the scanner. The wheels turn but the document doesn't feed. A document is imported to the computer monitor but it's blank.
I really need the scanner to work. Any ideas?

I've found a work around. Open System Prefs/Printers & Scanners. Click on HP Officejet Pro X576dw MFP in the left hand pane, then Scan at the top of the box on the right. Load your document into the scanner and click Open Scanner. Now, make sure the "Use Document Feeder" box in new Scanner window is checked and click Scan in the bottom right of the window. If thta box isn't checked nothing will happen.
You'll find the scan titled "Scan" in the Pictures folder.

Officejet Pro 8600 Plus: Scan to computer doesn't work with Win8.1 [solved: problem with USB3 Boost]

Since I installed 8.1 (pro), I can't use my 8600 Pro software for scanning to the computer (via USB). It looks like there is no communication with the printer as for the scanning software, but printing works as usual.
Tried to use the HP Printer Assistant: when I click the "Scan a Document or Photo" button, I get a "Scanner Unreachable" message. Also after a restart of the printer.
When I try to scan from Photoshop, the system first finds the printer but then fails to connect to it.
HP Update says that my system is up to date.
HP Print And Scan Doctor 4.2 finds and shows the printer on the Welcome panel and seems to be able to communicate with it, to a point.
It gives me a "Driver error" (sorry if is not called so in English--it takes over my keyboard language, which is French and says "Erreur du pilote") and states that no communication could be established between the scan driver and the printer, and that I should reboot the computer...
So I did and reran the Doctor software, which gave me the very same error message. This time, I clicked "Ignore" and let it do its things. It ran a "Scan Test" twice and indicated that everything was fine or had been repaired. But strangely nothing happened on the printer during those "tests". And at the end, as it offered me to make a scan test myself, I clicked OK and I had the "Scanner Unreachable" error message again.
So I made my scans on an USB key, as I had to do a few times already, and that went very well. But I'd be glad to have that "Scan to computer" function back. How?
This question was solved.

Hi ajmch,
I am sorry to hear that you are still having a scan issue. What antivirus program are you running on the computer? Can you try to scan through Paint and Windows Fax and Scan on the computer? When you run the HP Print and Scan Doctor what error message are you getting?
In this document for Windows: HP Scan Software Does Not Open or Scan on a Printer Using a USB Connection are steps for checking the WIA and for checking software.
You can also Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files that may resolve this issue.
Let me know if this helped.

Password reset for Officejet Pro X576dw MFP Printer

Help. We have an Officejet Pro X576dw MFP and the manager who set up the system has lost the password that he input when he set the printer up. We can't access the utility part of the program and set up out incoming fax's and scans to go straight to the computer. I have been into the Setup menu and the Factory default setting is also locked and requires the password, is there any other way that we can reset this password??

I've found a work around. Open System Prefs/Printers & Scanners. Click on HP Officejet Pro X576dw MFP in the left hand pane, then Scan at the top of the box on the right. Load your document into the scanner and click Open Scanner. Now, make sure the "Use Document Feeder" box in new Scanner window is checked and click Scan in the bottom right of the window. If thta box isn't checked nothing will happen.
You'll find the scan titled "Scan" in the Pictures folder.

Officejet Pro X576dw slow scanner

I have recently installed 2 Officejet Pro X576dw machines. I like all of the features. The only problem I have is
the SCAN TO NETWORK feature. I set this up with a few folders on the server to scan to. The scans work fine. The only problem I have is how long it takes to start the scan process from the time you hit the scan button. Its almost 2 min.
We are going to be scanning ALOT of medical test results. How can I speed up the time the printer takes to start to scan.
thank you

Scanner for officejet pro x576dw printing off center

Scanned documents on our officejet pro x576dw MFP are coming out skewed--i.e. the contents are coming out looking like they were rotated 5-10 degrees. They're not deformed--just not showing up straight on the page.
The obvious thought was that the document is being fed in crookedly, but when I make copies, the content comes out straight in the copy, as they should. That suggests that it's not the document feeder that's the problem, but some issue with the scanner software. Here's what it looks like:
Any ideas how I can fix this?
Thanks!

Paper jam issue on HP OfficeJet Pro X576DW

My recently bought HP OfficeJet Pro X576DW displays and initiates a Paper Jam warning and holds printing subsequently. However, there is no "paper jammed".
Seems like one of the sensors is confused.
Is there a way to hard reset the printer, cause it is not working right now.

Hope I can help you.
First, please see if you can make sure you have the latest version of firmware on your printer. If you hit the "?" mark and then touch Printer Information, you'll see the FW Version as the last thing on the screen.
The most current ends in 1336MR. If you have a number <1336, please update the FW.
The easiest way to check for FW is to have the printer connected to web services. The small icon on the upper left is for Web Services and under that menu is to check for update.
Then...
Settings/Tools/Advanced Cleaning.
Normally, this requires sending out of a cleaning pad by HP, however, try feeding a piece of card stock through tray 1. This may fix your paperjam.
Let me know.

New iMac (10.9.4) & now my HP Photosmart 6520 "scan to computer" function does not work

Recently upgraded to a new iMac running 10.9.4. Printing works well from this computer and all other devices (iPad, iPhone, etc.). However, the "scan to computer" function does not work. In the "Scan" section of HP Utility when I click on "Scan to Computer" the error message reads "Scan to Computer Cannot Be Enabled. The software required for Scan to Computer could not be located on this computer. Please download and install the latest HP recommended software for your device from http://www.hp.com/support, and then try again.
Of course I have done this... twice... still no luck. Also ran Software Update and there was an update, but it made no difference.

Yes, did all that... in order. It did not resolve the problem. However, I did find what appears to be the answer. After re-installing the driver software DO NOT immediately follow the prescribed steps. Instead, quit the installer, restart the Mac, and an Apple software update will appear after restart. Install that software update, and even though the computer and software do not call for it, restart the Mac again. Only then add the printer and follow the balance of the steps. It works! Thank you for your help.
