HP photosmart C6280 scan doesn't work

Hi all, I've installed Snow Leopard with no problems at all, until now. I tried to scan a document today (it worked before SL) and it says it can't find the scanner. I downloaded new drivers but it still doesn't work. Any suggestions? thanx

Hi deetroy12,
I am glad to hear, you are mow able to scan from preview.app.
I just want to tell you the full version of HP software is now available here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=219&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=e n&product=3194498
If you want to install this software (including OCR functionality) you should ensure the former version of HP software is completely removed from your MacOS 10.6.1.
If the HP software is still at your system you should run the HP uninstaller located in /Applications/Hewlett-Packard/. In this uninstaller you can use a hidden function to really remove ALL rests of related HP software: After clicking "Continue" in 1st window of the uninstaller you should press and hold following 3 keys at your keyboard while clicking the "Uninstall" button. the 3 keys are "Ctrl", "Option" and "Cmd". After clicking "Uninstall" while holding the 3 keys you should see a dialog with yellow exclamation mark "Are you sure you want to remove all HP software...?"
Click OK and input your user password. So all related HP software will be gone. After Restart you should install HP software version 10.3 (for MacOS 10.6) from link above.
After this installation the real scan software is "HP Scan" located in path /Applications/Hewlett-Packard/.
With Regards
Fred

HP photosmart C6280 scan doesn't work after once working

I can't understand it - six weeks ago I came on this forum with this problem and it was solved. I used Preview and' import from scanner' which worked fine. I tried it yesterday and it doesn't work again! I've downloaded new drivers from a site suggested to someone else on the forum with the same problem, but it still doesn't work. All I get when I go into System Preferences - printers & fax - is 'No scanner selected' its driving me mad! I had to go and do scanning from my old PC! Heresy! Someone please help!

I seem to have resolved this problem now. I uninstalled ALL stuff I had downloaded including drivers etc., and just went to the page suggested on this forum and put on the new stuff from HP I can now scan properly from my computer without using Preview.

HP photosmart 6520 scanning doesn't work

My photosmart 6520 printer was working fine, scanning to computer and printing with no problems then all of a sudden I cannot scan to computer and when I try to scan it puts up the msg No Computer Found. I haven't scanned for a while so when I tried I was surprised it didn't work. I can print and copy but it will not let me scan. When I go to control panel devices and printers my printer shows up with a triangle with an exclamation point in it. I have tried disconnection the power cord and restarting, I have even replaced the usb cord to the computer with no results. I have even tried to reload the installation CD and tried HP's scan troubleshooter. Everything else works, is this an inherent problem with this model printer? I'm baffled

7597, welcome to the forums
I understand you are no longer able to scan from your Photosmart 6520. I am willing to help you with this!
I am glad to hear the copies are working, as this shows the printer is alright and the problem isn't with the hardware.
First of all, run the HP Print and Scan Doctor and post back to me with the detailed results from the tool.
I also would like to know the OS you are running:
Which Windows Operating System am I running?
Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
As you connect USB, try a wireless connection or Ethernet connection and let me know if they work.
Have a great day

HP Scan doesn't work with HP LaserJet 2840 after upgrade to Leopard

Small bug mucho irritating.
I can't scan documents anymore. The program starts but doesn't give med a scanning window so it's no use at all. The problem is the same on my Intel based MacBook.
Is there a work around? I've seen various solutions by starting the program with rossetta on intel machines but it's not the problem in my case.

Can you elaborate? I'm going through this right now with my HP printer.
It worked fine with Tiger. Worked fine with Leopard when I upgraded. However, when I had to do a complete erase and install of Leopard to try and fix a Mail issue, the scanning no longer worked.
I've escalated with HP and they tell me I am out of luck and can not do scanning (particularly multiple page) to a clean install of Leopard (only if upgraded from Tiger).

Scan doesn't work after downloading Windows 10

After downloading Windows 10, scanning will not work on my HP Officejet Pro 8620 all in one printer. I used HP Print and Scan Doctor program and it stated that it fixed my scanning problem. However, when I attempt to scan I get a message that says it cannot find the application to support the selection. BTW...I have also unistalled and reinstalled the driver for this printer thinking it might been to "reconnect" in some way with Windows 10. On another note, by DVD drive now doesn't work either after downloading Windows 10. HELP !!

Hey there,
Try the following step's, i believe it will help you overcome the issue.
1.Start by dissconnecting the USB cable.
2.Remove the Printer Driver from the "Devices and printer's" which can be found in the control panel.
3.Download this file (http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL48430/al-117537-4/DJ1510_188.exe) which is the full solution for the HP Dj 1510 series.
4.Extract the contents from within the file.
5.Open up the "Utils" Folder and within choose the "x64" folder, Inside you should be able to spot a File called "RemovePreInstalledDrivers" >> After you will open that file a Black screen will open, Wait for it to close then move to the next step.
6. Go back to main folder where you have already extracted the software and Right click on the x64.msi file (Name will most likely consist your printer model) and choose the "Repair" Option. >>Afterwards you will be prompted to preformed a restart. (Incase you will get a Messege saying "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed" Just double click the file instead)
7.After the restart, Head into Local Disk C/ProgramFiles/HP/PrinterModelFolder/bin/USBSetupLuncher and double click it.
8.Follow the steps shown to you and connect the USB cable when you are asked to.
That should add the scanner to Your imaging devices.
Best Of luck~

Acquire N Scans doesn't work

Acquire N Scans VI (it is an example VI) does't work to collect noise ( no input connected)

The problem is: I don't measure noise, but I measured it before. So, the problem is not the device (it is a PXI-4472) but it is in Labview. Nothing has been modified. Yesterday it worked, today it doesn't work.
Look at the VIs: they are extremely simple. Cont Daq and Acquire N Scans are the same as those in the Example Fider. Only ACQ&Wite has been little modified. They acquire only if signal is more than 0.465 V pk-pk.

HP PhotoSmart C4280 all in one came with my macBK scanning doesn't work

Printing works fine yet when i try to scan something (hit the scan button) it says "usb port not connected" which of course it is working the usb cable connection or how could I print? Yet, scanning getting this kind of strange error! What should I do just take the macBOOK w/ printer to Genius
Bar see what they think? Hate to lug it all the way back in through shopping ctr again
anyone have an idea about this? Not like apple store just down the road from me requires a a jaunt
to say the least in my jalopy.

What a piece of crap - In the instructions it says for scanning "make sure you are connected to computer running Windows" ***? I use a mac because I don't want to use windoze.
I was in a huge hurry with a deadline looming in a couple of hours (and dead powerbook), so I grabbed a new iMac, they say - "want a free printer/scanner?" sure, throw it in. Had I not been on deadline, I would have done some homework. This thing is a piece of junk. And it wasn't free, I had to shell out $100 ontop of the other $2000 I was dropping in the Apple store. Sure I'll get the hundred $ back after I mail in the rebate form and wait six months to receive the check back, ASSuming of course I actually get all $100 back - check the terms and conditions, says "eligible for up to $100"... I'm guessing I get $50 at the most.
The mac "specialist" (and I use that term very loosely, just because you have an iPhone, doesn't mean you know anything about Apple) made it sound like this was the only printer that was "eligible" for the rebate. In my haste to get back to work, I sad f* it and now am ******, because I need to scan something st midnight on a friday and have to download new drivers/software.
Apple, you used to treat us much better when your market share was 3%.

HP Photosmart D110 scanner doesn't work

Hello,
I recently noticed that my HP Photosmart D110 printer/scanner won't scan.
I've reinstalled the printer on my HP computer and replaced the driver software from the original installation disk.
Still, no scanning.
An error message keeps coming up about the "device" not being fully installed.
The Photosmart printer/scanner is accessed through my network modem.
All the computers in the house can print but no scanning is possible at this time.
Any solutions or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
hpod1

Hey there and welcome to the community, @hpod1
I read about the issue you're having with scanning with your Photosmart D110 model and all of your computers.
Seeing that you cannot scan with any of your computers is concerning and would present the idea of a hardware problem within the printer.
I would suggest trying to make a copy or two and let me know what happens.
If copies do not work, try power resetting the printer:
Press the Power button to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
Best wishes, hope to hear from you

Wifi scanning doesn't work on HP 5110 e-all-in-one

I have windows 7 netbook. I have had to install the printer manually because the installation software gets stuck at the finding printer on wifi stage (progress bar goes to completion but then freezes and only way to stop is to restart the netbook). So the printer has added itself to wifi succesfully, using the onscreen wizard on the printer itself. I have added the printer to my pc for wifi printing manually using the ip address, and then downloaded the drivers by usb cable connection which automatically added all the drivers (I thought). So printing works over wifi but scanning only works by using USB cable. I would like to be able to scan over wifi too. Any ideas on whether there are additional drivers to install for that or if there is any sort of manual set up I can do?
Thanks

HI @Rprine , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I see you're experiencing driver issues. I would like to help.
Are you able to make a copy?
I would recommend performing a power reset. Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would also recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Scanning doesn't work (HP deskjet 2544)

I try to scan with my device via HP-software, but when I press the "scanning" button, nothing happens at all. There is no any dialogue windows and no any messages about errors. Just nothing.
The same thing with the standard windows application for scanning and faxing. When I click the button, there is no reaction at all.
When I use another application (scannito lite, ABBY Finereader), it says, that the program is unable to open TWAIN device.
I am using Windows 7. And I have installed/removed/renstalled the software and drivers three times. The device is connected with USB.
I really need help as fast as possible.

Updated: webscanning works.

HP PSC 2355xi Scanning doesn't work with Leopard

Please help! I have an iMac that I've upgraded to Leopard and an HP PSC 2355xi printer. It will print fine but I cannot use the All in One software from Hp and therfore, I cannot scan documents or use it's scanning functionality. I've downloaded the latest All in One software and reloaded it, to no avail. Very Frustrating! Please help with ideas or thoughts.

I've had the same problem with an all-in-one I purchased in Dec. I can't figure it out either. The model I purchased is not listed on the HP web-site. Yes, the web-site is not exactly helpful. I tried the chat support and as soon as the person found out that I was a Mac user, that became the end of the help session. I spent the next hour on the phone with support. I finally hung up and went to other forums to figure it out.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled about 3 times. I even went back to OSX 10.5. I'm assuming HP Scan Pro is the software to use. I get no communication between the all-in-one and my laptop when it comes to scanning. I'm not finding HP to be Mac friendly.
