HP8500A all-in-one can no longer scan thru wireless network but prints fine.

HP8500A all-in-one can no longer scan thru wireless network but prints fine. Have used this device several times over past 2 years on different wireless networks (at home) but usually at some point I lose wireless scan function but maintain wireless Printing.  I used to be able to reload the software and resolve the issue but now in this "new network" cannot get wireless scanning to work.   Setup software; original software (CD) and current download as well as "Print/Scan Dr"  hangs-up at "network check"  for hours.  Compaq laptop, Dell Laptop, Cell phones and Roku work fine thru network.  Scanner works fine with USB to Laptops.

Which model Epsons are they?
I'm assuming you're using Yosemite (OS X 10.10), and that the problem developed when you upgraded from a previous OS.
(Your profile says 10.6.7 BTW).
Maybe the scanning function is not compatible with Yosemite.
You could try a few things:
reset your wifi system:
power down everything: modem, router, computer, printer/scanners.
wait a minute.
power them all up again, in that order: modem, router, computer, printers. Let each power up completely before going on to the next.
try a factor reset on your printer/scanner (if there is such a function). You'll have to check your manual for how. If you do that you'll have to enter the wifi password in your printer/scanner, assuming you have security on your network.
uninstall any printer manufacturer "utilities" that are on your Mac, and try Image Capture again.
If it is a compatible software issue, you could try VueScan, but I've never needed to use it.

  • HP 8500 ALL IN ONE - CAN NO LONGER SCAN TO SHARED FOLDER

    I have had an HP 8500 all in one scanner / printer for a while and have not had any problems with,
    Yesterday the printer hung so I reset it.
    I am using ethernet (wired) as opposed to wireless.
    When I reset the printer it gave it a new ip address of which I reconfigured back to the address of my network ie 192.168.7.xxx
    I am able to print and scan from the embedded printer web page but when I scan to my shared folder, the printer cannot conect.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    I think it may be something either to do with the network path or possibly the sharing permissions fo the network folder.
    Thank you in advance for any assistance that can be provided.

    Hello there @DAVIDA64, welcome to the forums
    I read through your post about the issues you are having with scanning to your network folder. My best suggestion would be to check out the guide below and set up your scan to network folder again.

  • Epson All-in-One can no longer scan.

    I own two different Epson All-in-One printers that worked perfectly fine for Wi-Fi scanning.  Now, they do not appear anywhere as a scanner.  I have ensured all software and drivers are current.

  • Can No Longer Scan With Canon MG5220 But Printing Works Fine

    Hello,
    I have not had luck with Canon so hoping my Apple community can come through for me   Here is my problem.  I have a Canon MG5220 "all-in-one" that I am able to print to just fine.  I was able to scan a year ago but something has changed and I am no longer able to scan.  I have all the Canon software and the error I get is as follows when using MP Navigator 4.0 EX:
    "Error 2.10 -  Cannot communicate with scanner. Cable may be disconnected or scanner is turned off. Check status."
    I have deleted and re-added my printer several times but that has not done anything.  I believe there was a time in the past when it was scanning properly that I had a separate printer icon under "Printers" on left of  "Print and Scan" sscreen for the scanner but not sure (can someone confirm?).  Regardless, I only have one now. 
    My printer is connected as follows: MG5220 is wireless to my FiOS Actiontec router and then hardwired Ethernet to iMac. I have turned Wi-Fi status on and off o Mac and that has not made a difference.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    epie

    Open Finder and navigate to Applications > Canon Utilities > IJ Network Scanner Selector EX and open the Canon IJ Network Scanner Selector EX utility. This utility will search your local network for the MG5220 and if found, should show something like below.
    If the MG5220 is found, ensure that it is selected - as opposed to "Do Not Use" - and then press the OK button.
    Now open MP Navigator and select the Preferences (as shown below)
    From the Preferences window, with the General tab selected, ensure you have the MP5200 Series Network set as shown below (which is for my wireless MG6250).
    If it is set, press the OK button to close the Preferences window and then see if you can scan.

  • Officejet Pro 8620 All in One Will No Longer Scan in Color

    Hello,
    I have an Officejet Pro 8620 all in one.  I was scanning a few items last night and the first few items came out in color fine. Then all of the sudden as I continued to scan the next few images would only scan in black and white.  I cannot seem to get the scanner to scan in color again.  How can I fix this?  I did not change any settings or anything while I was scanning so I do not know why the sudden change to black and white?  I am on a Mac computer with all newest operating system etc.  
    Thanks in advance

    Hi there
    I have some more suggestions for you to try. Please try them in order I have written them in.
    Reset the printing system
    Repair disk permissions
    Restart the Mac
    Install the Full Feature Driver here: HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers
    In addition, download this Apple driver: HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X
    That should do the trick!
    Good luck

  • After upgrading to OS 10.8.1 I can no longer scan from my Canon MP240 printer when it is connected to Airport Express.

    I can no longer scan from printer (Canon Pixma MP240) when it is connected to Airport Express, although printing is no affected. However, when connected directly to MBP scanning works fine. I have tried all the standard remedies; reinstalling drivers, resetting printer system, selecting sharing options, but no luck. Previous to Mountain Lion this function worked fine. Any ideas how to regain this capability?
    Thanks,
    J.

    I'm almost completely certain that the scanning feature worked before the update. Having said that though, I don't scan a great deal and it may be the case that when I have done, the printer was directly connected to the MBP. However, since I have a laptop it's far more logical that I would have had the printer connected to Airport Express for reasons of portability so I can't really see that I would have had the printer connected directly to the laptop. Besides this, I have no memory of having this problem previously. Therefore, I don't think my memory is to blame although of course, if it were I'd have no way of knowing!

  • TS1398 this didn't help me at all. out of the clear clue my iPad can't even scan for wireless networks. even when I type in my home wireless network name. my phone can connect to it but for whatever reason my iPad won't. nothing I've tried works. I'm ****

    believe me I've tried EVERTHING and my iPad still 'can't scan for wireless networks'. it happened all of a sudden and is really really frustrating. I really don't want to have to drive 40 minutes to the nearest 'genius bar'. I'm about ready to break this thing over my knee. I've even tried the frig trick. it worked for about 30 seconds. and then? nothing. any non sarcastic suggestions?

  • My new Canon Pixma 7250 wireless printer can no longer find my wireless network. My MAC is, Yosemite 10.10.2. I've run diagnostics and Canon LAN printer setup routine many time. Is there a solution? Can anyone help?

    My new Canon Pixma 7250 wireless printercan no longer find my wireless network. (It worked fine until recently) I have a Yosemite 10.10.2. I've run diagnostics and the Canon LAN printer setup routine many times. Is there a solution? Can anyone help?

    Turn of the MG and unplug the power cord. Leave it off for about a minute and then reconnect the power cord and turn the power back on. Wait while the device attempts to reconnect to your wireless network - the blue wifi symbol on the MG will flash and then stay on once it has connected. If it keeps flashing then you will have to reconnect the MG to your wireless access point via the control panel on the MG.

  • HP all in one: can I connect a non-wireless mouse to the computer

    I have an all-in-one desktop computer (HP pavilion with Windows 8) with wireless keyboard and wireless mouse. What happens if the mouse drops to the floor and breaks? Do I need a new mouse or can I connect a normal mouse with a USB to the computer? Or does the computer work ONLY with a wireless mouse?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    You can connect a USB mouse to your all-in-one PC.
    You won't need to find any drivers since Windows 8 will provide the driver as soon as you plug in the mouse.

  • All-in-one 4620 won't scan in wireless in windows 8.1

    got new laptop, windows 8.1, wireless 4620 all-in-one won't scan, not from laptop, not manually

    Hi dumbbell,
    I understand that you cannot scan from your Officejet 4620 to your new Windows 8.1 laptop. I will try my best to help you with that.
    In this document for A 'No Computer Detected' or 'Connection Error' Message Displays during Scanning are steps that may help you resolve this issue. Your firewalls may be blocking the scan.
    If this does not resolve your issue, please tell me the error you are getting when you are trying to scan and what happens.
    I hope this help, please let me know.
    Thank you,

  • HP 6300 all in one can't set up for wireless use

    can't set up for wireless use

    That is because the printer does not support wireless connectivity to a router.  You can with an optional Bluetooth adapter to one computer wireless.  However since this has an Ethernet connection you can connect it to your router via this or you can use the below information to convert your Ethernet wired printer to wireless.
    Connect wireless printer anywhere, convert from wired, bypass failed radio, add WPA2 security.

  • Can no longer see any wireless networks

    Hello,
    I've had my macbook for just under a year now and have never had a problem seeing/connecting to any wireless networks in the past. However, over the past few days I have had issues connecting to my router. It keeps kicking me off every 15 or 20 minutes and when I try to reconnect it often gives me a timeout error. I have reset the router countless times and have even reset it to factory settings and triple checked that the firmware is up-to-date. I felt it was a router issue until this morning; it kicked me off so I reset my router and turned my airport off&on but now I cannot even see the network nor the other 10 (or so) networks that are typically viable. Since I cannot even see the wireless networks across the block anymore I seems like this has to be a computer issue (or at least the computer has to be involved to some degree).
    I've tried to make an appointment at the genius bar but they are booked solid, as in they don't have any available appointments available at any time, even days in the future. Has anyone seen this problem before? Is my wireless card is on the fritz? Does anyone know of any potential software issues that could cause this?
    Thanks in advance.

    You can skip the Genius Bar and just call AppleCare directly.
    However, a couple of suggestions:
    • create a new location in your Network preferences; does the problem persist?
    • create a new user and log in to that account; does the problem persist?
    This one's more extreme: Do an Archive and Install, which will completely reinstall the system but preserve user accounts and data:

    If these don't help, then it may well be hardware.
    Good luck!
