Hp photosmart 7525 scan as pdf

I have an HP 7525 and when I ask it to scan for me, it only gives me the option of scanning as a jpeg. How do I get it to let me do pdf files as well? Thanks!

Katc,

HP Photosmart 7525

I have an HP Photosmart 7525. At one time was able to choose between TIF and PDF when I scanned. I'm not now given that choice. All scans are in image format only. Any help that can be provided will be appreciated.

Hey @Billhood,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I would like to assist you today in getting your HP Photosmart 7525 scanning PDF, TIF, and JPEG file types again for you. In order for me to provide you the best support I do have a few questions for you.
1. What Operating System are you using?
What's my OS?
2. Are you scanning from the Front Panel of the printer or through the HP Scan Software on the computer?
For now I'm going to provide you with a document on the Front Panel scan options with step-by-step instructions on how to toggle between different file types when scanning.
Scan From the Control Panel (Including Scan to Email, to a USB Drive, and to a Memory Card) for HP P...
Please let me know if these steps help to resolve your issue. If not, be sure to respond to this post with your Operating System so I can provide you more guidance. Good luck! )

Photosmart 7525 won't scan to mac...HELP!

I recently bought an iMac (OSX 10.9.4) and an HP Photosmart 7525 e-all-in-one printer. The print and fax work fine, but I cannot scan to my computer.
I've installed the HP software from the HP download site, but I still get a message on the printer that says "No computer is connected" How do I fix this??
This question was solved.

Hi @mfspectrum,
I see by your post that you are unable to scan. I can help you with this.
Enable the scan to computer settings. A 'No Computer Detected' or 'Connection Error' Message Displays during Scanning. Go to Solution two: Check the Scan to Computer setting, Step one: Check the Scan to Computer setting.
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. The Airprint driver might be installed instead of the Printer's driver. (usually defaults to Airprint)
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen should show the name.
If the printer name shows Airprint then that is the Apple drivers, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
Try and scan again.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Can't scan to PDF file on HP Photosmart 7520 printer

I have two HP Photosmart 7520 printers - one in my home and one at summer home. On one when I scan I get the option of document or photo and PDF or jpeg. On the other printer, I am not given any options and it automatically scans into a jpeg file. How can I get the PDF format option to work on printer number 2?

Hi @healthdesigner,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you cannot scan to PDF on your HP Photosmart 7520 printer. I am happy to help you with your scanning!
For further assistance, I will need some additional information:
If the printer is connected, Wireless, Ethernet, or USB.
If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the power cable is 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.
If the printer is able to make copies.
Please see this post, Want Good Answers? Ask Good Questions, by @Bob_Headrick, so you can get the most out of these forums.
Thank you for posting, and hope to hear from you soon!

Photosmart all in one - not scanning to PDF

Our photosmart premium all in one fax, scanner printer no longer scans to PDF files.
It prints ok and we can scan to photo directly from the scanner to USB and from / to the PC.
It worked perfectly well before, then started to stop several pages into a multipage scan. Then halfway through 1st page - now won't scan at al to PDF.
Any ideas? We have uninstalled and re-installed several times - no success.

Hello ZiggyCat, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!

Default file type for photosmart 7525

I am trying to find the default file type that is saved to a USB drive when scanning on the HP Photosmart 7525. This is not my printer, I am just trying to help my sister who lives in another city and is not computer literate. She scanned some pictures (or so she said, after I sent her the instructions from the manual after I downloaded it) to a memory card. She is not sure what she is looking at from what she is telling me, it appears as the pictures were all saved to one PDF document. Does any one know if PDF is the default file type that scans are saved to on a memory card? I cannot find the default file type mentioned in the manual.
Thanks
David

Hi,
You can check from its software on your computer. For documents it's pdf and for photos it's jpg. But you have to select first.

Fax from computer to photosmart 7525 gets cancelled after spooling

I can fax directly from printer, but when I use the HP software or print function on the computer to set up fax and send, the progress goes from spooling to cancelled without any error notices. I have a Dell XPS 8500 running 8.1 and Photosmart 7525 connected by USB and wirelessly. They communicate just fine with the scan and print functions. Both are current on updates using the check for updates utility. I have a dedicated Voip phone line from Comcast and ther most current modem that I have slowed through the fax settings. I've spent hours reading forums on HP and Microsoft searching for exactly this issue. Please help

Hi @xskilledtrades
The truth is, I don't know what is causing the fax from computer function to fail. I understand from your description that the fax is cancelling after spooling, but that you can print and scan just fine as well as fax directly from the printer. I suspect the issue has something to do with the driver, thus I suggest we remove the driver and reload it.
Please use the following steps to delete the printer/fax from device and printers, and the driver from the server properties.
1. In the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder
2. Choose ‘Print server properties’.
Win XP – With no printer selected, click ‘File’ then ‘Server Properties’.
Windows Vista – With no printer selected, press ‘Alt’ then click ‘File’ then ‘Server Properties’.
Windows 7/8 and 8.1 – Select any printer in the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder and click ‘Print Server properties’ above.
3. Click on the ‘Drivers’ tab at the top of ‘Print server properties’ window
4. Choose the printer you want to uninstall and click ‘Remove’
5. Choose 'Remove driver only'
6. The next screen will give a warning, letting you know that deleting the driver package will remove it from the system. Click ‘Yes’ to say that you are sure you want to do this.
If documents are stuck in the print spooler, you may see an error, cancel any documents pending in the print queue, or try restarting the print spooler, then try to remove the driver from ‘Print server properties’ again. If it still won’t remove the package, restarting the computer and the printer should resolve this ‘in use’ error and allow the driver to be removed.
If the you continue to get an 'in use' message follow the steps in the document here; The Specified Printer Driver is Currently in Use
After the driver is removed, open Start > All Programs > HP folder > Printer folder > HP Setup and Software (or the printer icon).
The Setup and software screen will open and you can click on Connect a new printer.
Thanks, I look forward to hearing back from you.

Photosmart 7525 - Mac OS 10.4 driver/software

HP no longer supports my PowerPC Mac, which runs Mac OS 10.4.11. Unfortunately, HP also generally does not make its printer drivers available outside of a full software suite install (as far as I can tell). If I had access to just the printer driver my guess is that it would work fine under 10.4.11, since later versions of Mac OS use the same printing system. (However, I have never been able to figure out where HP hides printer drivers in OS X.)
Fortunately, there are third party (hpijs and Gutenprint) drivers for many HP printers, but these do not yet include the Photosmart 7525.
HP also does not explain which drivers might work with other printers. I've generally been able to find one that works on a printer for which I do not have a "named" driver by trial and error. For example, I can print to the 7525 using a 7550 driver. However, I have no way to know if this is the best choice.
Does anyone know:
1. Is there a way to get HP's Photosmart 7525 driver without the software suite?
2. If not, which other driver (i.e. one found in hpijs or Gutenprint) is likely to give the best printing results?
3. Would the software listed at the link below, which includes "7500 series photosmart printers" work with the 7525?
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&softwareitem=ps-33827-2
4. W
Also, is there third-party scanning software that might work with the 7525 on Mac OS 10.4?
Thanks.

Unfortunately, since you are running Tiger v10.4.11, I think the highest iTunes version you can use is 9.
You should be able to purchase iTunes media on your current version of iTunes regardless.
Launch iTunes, select iTunes Store in the source list on the left. Click Sign In on the right side of the page. What happens when you do that?

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
I should think you would have the option to scan to PDF with the Printer software.
If you have not done so for a while, please do (re)install the Full Feature Software for the printer:

Remove password for HP Photosmart 7525

Hi, everytime I want to fax it asks for a password (in inital set-up, I had to enter my email address and then asked for password). I do not have to enter email address anymore just the password. Is there a way to scan/fax to email without entering this information - id and pasword? Thank You...

Hi anchor1,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you are trying to fax from your Photosmart 7525 printer and you are being prompted for a password.
To better assist you, would you please provide some additional information:
Are you trying to do scan to email or are you trying to fax? The fax function does not require a username and password, but scan to email does.
How is the printer connected (USB cable or wireless)?
What operating system are you using on your computer? whatsmyos.com
If you are using the scan to email feature are you getting any connection errors? When setting up the scan to email feature did you choose auto-login or store email? If you chose auto-login it would have stored the email and the pin for scan to email.
Thank you.

Scan to pdf C7280 not available after windows 8.1 upgrade

After upgrading to 8.1, my program from HP no longer worked. Now I cannot scan to PDF on my HP C7280. my only option now is to scan to JPG or some other useless file type for documents. I have loaded and reloaded and reloaded the updated driver and complete solution package but it will not finish installing to show me the same HP software I had before, I have to resort to the windows version supplied with Windows 8.1. PLEASE help!!!!

Hello gard1104,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you no longer have an option to "Scan to PDF" using the Photosmart C7280. I will do my best to assist you! I realize you have uninstalled/reinstalled the software already. How is this printer connected? Wireless or USB? Let's try a couple of steps:
Please perform a "Level Three Uninstall" on your computer: (If you have this printer connected by a USB cable, then remove this cord from computer.
a) On the keyboard, hit the Windows key and "R" together. In the Run box type in %temp% and hit enter.
b) Locate the correct folder starting with "7z" (the correct folder contains "Util" and "CCC" folders).
c) Open folder "Util".
d) Open folder "CCC".
e) Please run the L3uninstall.bat.
f) When the uninstall has completed, restart the computer.
Also, make sure Adobe Reader is installed on your computer. Please follow this HP document on The PDF File Type Is Not an Option When Scanning from HP Solution Center in Windows. Only perform "Solution Two" from this document.
Next, please perform a clean boot on your computer. I will provide a Microsoft document here to help you. Restart the computer once this step is completed. Now, you want to install the full feature software from the HP website here. Choose your correct operating system; Either 32 bit or 64 bit.
Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you.

HP Photosmart 7525 unable to connect to Web Services

Pretty much the same issue as everyone else...bought the printer at Costco last year.
It was working great for a while, printer was connected to the internet, prints perfectly from different devices, scan-to-email, fax, etc...
But lately, when I try to use the scan-to-email function, I get a "Unable to connect to Web Services".
I tried several suggested solutions, including changing the DNS, the Semi-Full reset, etc... to no avail.
PLEASE HELP!

My iPhone cannot find my AirPrint printer HP Photosmart 7525. What do I do?

My iPhone and iPad cannot find any AirPrint Printers. MY HYP Photosmart 7525 is AirPrint compatible, what can I do?

Hey kennethfrommascoutah,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Since you are having trouble using AirPrint follow this section of the article.
About AirPrint
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
If you're unable to print
Check these things if you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found."
Make sure your printer has paper, and enough ink or toner installed.
Make sure your printer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iOS device.
Make sure your printer has power and is turned on. Try turning your printer off and then back on again to see if it resolves your issue.
Check to see if your printer has any error lights or indicators displayed on the printer's control panel. Check the documentation that came with your printer to clear any errors displayed.
Check with your printer's manufacturer to see if any firmware updates are available for your printer. Check your printer's documentation or contact the printer vendor for more information. A firmware update may be available, even if you just bought your printer.
Have a nice day,
Mario
