HP Scanner Not Working

I am running a fully updated version of Tiger on an intel imac and my HP C3100 scanner/printer now no longer recognizes the scanner. The printer function is working fine, so I am connected, it's just the scanner function. I have been using the HP software for the printer and scanner. A little help please?

TJRiver:
Go to the HP website and see if there are new drivers or driver updates that you need. If not, you can check with HP tech support. They will do email support for you. They are very good about it.

  • HP Laserjet 3052 Scanner not working

    So I upgraded to Leopard and everything seems fine except I cannot run the HP Scan software. The printer [art still works but I just cannot scan. I have tried reinstalling the software but it still not working. HP have no new software and drivers for it yet.
    Anyone any ideas?
    Thanks,

    I can confirm what everybody else in this thread has said and add one detail. I bought an HP 3055 all-in-one yesterday and after installing the software, not only wouldn't it scan ("waiting for PC..." forever) but it also wouldn't print, AND another HP printer elsewhere on my network STOPPED working.
    After an hour on the phone with HP support (10 minutes just to register my info), the guy confirmed that there is no 10.5 driver, didn't know when there would be one, and added the following amazing fact. Not only does the software on the CD that comes with the printer/scanner not work with 10.5, it actually BREAKS its printing from Leopard (and similarly the 10.4 or earlier downloadable drivers from hp.com). He claimed that printing from 10.5 works on the 3055 out of the box, but if you are so reckless as to install the software that actually came with the printer, it permanently stops working. (Plus, apparently, stops the printing of other HP devices.)
    He went on to say the only fix was to re-install the Mac OS . However, I can report that after un-installing every piece of HP software on my machine (using their uninstallers, not just deleting), then restarting, the printer now works, and so does the other HP printer on the network. (Scanning still doesn't work.)
    Btw, echoing other complaints on this thread, the reason I bought a new HP scanner was because my old one had stopped working ever since (I think) 10.4, and I finally gave up.

  • HP Printer F4180- Scanner not working

    I've installed Snow Leopard, but now its now letting me scan. It will print documents, but when I click 'scan' it says 'scanner not found'. I thought this update was supposed to make using my printer easier!!! Can anyone tell me how to sort this out? I depend on this scanner to create work and this is frustrating to say the least!
    Thanks,

  • HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install

    HP Photosmart C6300 printer/scanner not working after Snow Leopard install
    Reinstalling etc does not work - does anyone else have the same problem or a clue as to how to fix this?

    Keith,
    I got a C6280 and the scanner does not work anymore. I am for 6 days in contact with HP. The last printer driver install form the apple web site does not open the image of HewlettPackardPrinterDrivers.dmg because of an invalid checksum. The skipping of the validation gives and error in the install.

  • Just upgraded my Cannon MP Navigator App for my multi-purpose printer/scanner not working correctlly

    After upgrading to Yosemite MP Navigator App for my Cannon scanner not working properly, Buttons are not active and do not respond .... it works on my laptop with Mavericks ... I will be reverting back to Mavericks .. I use my Scanner a lot . Apple please fix this problem.

    I have the same problem with a Canon MP530 under Yosemite. I'm not sure why Canon can't get their act together to have updated drivers and software. Very aggravating.
    I can confirm that pmt513's workaround works. That's fine for single pages. But what about batch scanning?
    Here's another partial workaround. The main MP Navigator interface still allows you to do the scanning, both single pages and batches. You just can't save, send, or export those scans. But the temporary files are on your disk in TIF format. If you don't mind taking those and converting them to PDF or JPG (which you can do in Preview), then just look in the following folder to the files:
    ~/Library/Caches/Temporaryitems/MP Navigator 2.2/SCN_MFP
    I have put an alias to it on my desktop so that I can easily access the scans. Be sure to copy the TIF files out before you close (and thus clear) the MP Navigator window as that also clears the files from that cache folder.
    I hope this helps some of you.

  • Laserjet Pro M1536dnf MFP - scanner not working

    I have just bought and installed an HP Laserjet Pro 1536dnf MFP. The copier and printer work, but I can't get the scanner to work. I have downloaded the software several times and triedn to install it, but it doesn't work. In the end it times out and says there is a 'fatal error'.
    Any ideas? The printer didn't come with a USN cable, so I am using the one from my previous HP printer. Do you think that could be part of the problem?

    Hi Watu-Na-Nuru,

    There should have been the 2 drivers listed. Not sure why it wasn't listed.

  • Scanner not working with HP PSC 1210xi

    I bought an HP PSC 1210xi All-In-One printer/copier/scanner off craigslist recently and I'm having trouble getting the scanner to work. I downloaded whatever driver I needed for printing and printing and copying are working perfectly. When I tried to scan, the on button, printer cartridge, and ink button blink simultaneously- I looked this up- it means scanner failure.
    I've tried searching the forums and HP to find what I need to fix this but can't see to find the right thing. My operating system is OS X v10.5.8. please help!

    The scanner on this model of HP is not supported in Leopard. I looked all over for the answer and found that only printer drivers are available. I've switched to a different machine for scanning.

  • HP 3050 Scanner not working with Windows 7

    My HP 3050 worked fine with XP. Now that i have a computer with Windows 7, the scanner will not work. I called HP, and they do not have a fix, and their Windows 7 computer with HP 3050 scanner works the same way. Do you have any suggestions?

    Hi Donaldparis,
    After researching from the HP website, I realize that they do not release the HP LaserJet 3050 All-in-One Printer driver for Windows 7. It means that you will install the Windows 7 built-in basic driver and use the basic features. For more information about how to install the basic driver, you may refer to the following link:
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=120&prodSeriesId=3463669&prodTypeId=18972&objectID=c01856597#category4
    Note: Since the web site is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this information.
    If it does not work, you may also try to install the printer driver for Windows Vista under compatibility mode.
    Install driver under compatibility mode & Administrator level
    ==================================
    1.Right click on the exe file for driver and click Properties.
    2.Click on the Compatibility tab.
    3.Select “Run this program in compatibility mode for.”
    4.Choose Windows Vista (Service Pack 2) from the drop down list.
    5.Select “Run this program as an administrator” option under the Privilege Level topic.
    6.Click Apply, click OK.
    7. Please double click on the exe file again.
    Good luck!

  • Trying to install drivers for my scanner, not working

    I'm trying to install drivers for a canon scanner, it's not working. I ownloaded them from the canon website and they are for Mac OS 9, would they still work? or do i really have to get a new scanner?

    Hi Anna
    Which model of scanner is it? Have you checked thoroughly to see whether OS X drivers exist?

  • Scanner not working after installing Windows 7

    Just installed Windows 7 and lost the ability to use the scanner function in Adobe.  My scanner still works with my HP C6380 softwar
    e.  Was wondering if another driver was available for Windows 7.  Yes or no, send if possible
    I am usin Acrobat 9.0
    I have already done the following.
    1)    a. Launch Acrobat
           b. Click menu File->Create PDF->From Scanner->Custom Scan...
           c. In Custom Scan dialog, select the driver installed.
           d. Click Options button in Input section.
           e. Set Data Transfer Method as Native Mode.
           f. Initiate Scan process. Or, remove any compression settings in scanner's user's interface while scanning (Set compression to None).
    2) Login with new user Account
    3) Deleted Preferences folder.
    4) Download the update for 9.1.
    5) Repair Acrobat installation.
    6) Scan the image into another application as a TIFFfile, and then convert the TIFF file to a PDF file.

    Does your scanner work without using Acrobat? If not, you should go to HP's web site and see if there is a Windows 7 driver for your scanner you can download and install.
    You should also update Acrobat to 9.3.

  • Scanner not working in CS3 or CS4 after upgrade?

    I've been using Photoshop CS3 on my iMac pretty much since it's release and have a Canon Canonscan 4400F scanner which has always worked perfectly. However since I upgraded to Snow Leopard the scanner has been incredibly intermittent and now has finally packed up altogether but ONLY in Photoshop.
    In CS3 if I try to import from my scanner I get this errror message:
    "Cannot communicate with scanner cable may be disconnected or scanner may be turned off. Check status. Scanner driver will be closed 155.0.0"
    When I upgraded to Snow Leopard I found that the scanner didn't work at all but went to the Canon website and downloaded the latest drivers and software and that got it up and running. However I then noticed that I had to re-install the driver each time I rebooted my Mac if I wanted to use the scanner via Photoshop i.e. the Canon Toolbox software always works but the TWAIN driver seems to pack up each time in Photoshop.
    As I now have a lot of documents that I need to scan urgently yesterday I spent a number of hours trying to fix this problem as I really need to be able to scan from inside Photoshop. I once again downloaded the latest drivers and software from Canon and also downloaded the latest Canon Printer/Scanner drivers from Apple but yet again this made no difference. I then downloaded a trial version of Photoshop CS4 (and the separate TWAIN driver) and installed that. However since doing this I now cannot get my scanner to work at all in either version of Photoshop and even re-installing the latest driver from Canon won't get it working. I get the same error message saying that it cant communicate with the scanner but yet again the Canon Toolbox software DOES still work and so I can scan by using that, just not from inside Photoshop. Clearly it can't be a 'communication' problem if one program does work but another doesnt so it seems to me as though there is a problem with Photoshop CS3/CS4 under Snow Leopard with Canon scanners.
    Anyone else have this problem, anyone been able to solve it?

    I have solved the problem absolutely.
    Here's the problem, but you're not going to like it much.
    Scanner companies have not continued development for their scanners for Macs. Microsoft will release significant operating system changes and the scanner makers will pop up a new driver quick as a bunny. But any change to Apple's Os is pretty much ignored by the scanner manufacturer. I bought a HP scanner just before Apple released OS X and, though they promised me OS X drivers for it, they never did the work.
    I think everyone's pretty much following HP's example here.
    I have an Epson Perfection 3170 Photo scanner. It's a good scanner, but Epson has EOLed any further upgrades to its software. I upgraded my Mac (not my operating system) from a G4-400 (sawtooth) with a 1GHz processor upgrade to a new Mac Pro. I had been running Adobe's CS3 applications on my Power PC processor but, as soon as the applications went to Intel, I couldn't scan through Photoshop.
    The problem is that the Epson Scan software is PowerPC only. You cannot use scanner software for a Universal Binary that runs Power PC only unless the Universal Binary is running on a Power PC or through Rosetta emulation on Intel. As Photoshop will choose to run using Intel-native code (it's faster), that would make it incompatible with a Universal Binary on Intel. You probably have that type of incompatibility.
    Snow Leopard is a 64-bit operating system that has some pretty clear requirements with respect to drivers. One big requirement is that applications that were written in Carbon are going to find it tough going, unless they're written using the Cocoa framework. Scanner manufacturers won't make any money off of rewriting their scanner application and Photoshop plugins for Snow Leopard. They would rather you purchase a new scanner -- then they'll make money off of that and its Snow Leopard and Intel-capable drivers.
    Currently, what I do in Leopard (I have not upgraded to Snow Leopard yet because a number of my applications will break if I do) is I use Epson's Scanner software and scan to a folder. then I drag everything into Photoshop. It's a two-step process, but it does work.
    Additionally, if your scanner's standalone software doesn't work, you can purchase Hamrick's Vuescan which does work under Snow Leopard and does work with the 4400 F (you have to have your Canon drivers installed to get it to work).
    They do offer a free trial for downloading if you want to try it out. And since they just sell software, they will upgrade it and keep it current.
