HT204135 Help! My printer still wont scan

I have just installed an HP laser jet printer  with my imac, and even though i have updated the apple printer software it still wont scan.  There is no icon in the driver window, and preview and image capture do not work either.
Can anyone suggest anything please?
thanks

To scan with Image Capture / Preview you would need to have an ICA scanner driver installed on the Mac. If you refer to this Apple KB article about drivers that are available, is your model of HP in the list and is there an S in the Scan column?
If not, then check with HP for a scanner driver and possibly a supporting scanner application.

  • Installed LaserJet M1212nf MFP on new computer. Prints but wont scan.

    I just installed Laser Jet M1212nf MFP printer on a new computer.  It installed itself and prints fine.  It wouldnt scan so I downloaded the software from the HP website.  It still doesnt scan.  I don't know what to do next.  My computer doesnt pick up the fact that there is a new scanner. 

    Solved my own problem.  the name of the laserjet showed up as 1210 instead of 1212 on my computer.  It still isnt working properly, but at least the new computer recognzes the printer.  Onto the next problem..

  • Help Needed for scanner wont scan properly.

    I have an HP Deskjet 3055A that has all of a sudden started acting up and wont scan things properly anymore.. No matter what I scan everything comes out as the same vertical coloured bars and I don't know what to do about it hence the reason I'm here in the hope someone can shed some light on my predicament.

    Yep, same here.  My scanning was out of order for a long time, I put notices on here about it.  Then I had a message that there was a new icon to fix it, and I clicked on that and it worked.  BUT waste of time, and product not doing what it says on the tin.  

  • Help my printer has a scanning Error ?? (not a scanner)

    Dear,
    On my PC (Windows 7 64 bit) I have had a Laserjet P1006 installed for ages. Running perfectly until about 3 weeks ago.
    I stareted recieving Error message 52.0 Scanner Error. 
    I did a reinstall and worked fine again. for 2 days then the same error. I have tried installing in m ultiple ways somtimes it works for a day or two but mostly i get the error msg emediatly.
    Please help
    Kind Regards
    Ingo Hanke

    Hi @HankeIngo ,
    I read your post and see that you keep getting a "52.0 Scanner" error. I will do my best to assist you with this issue.
    I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
    Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
    Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
    This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
    If the issue persists, download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it if it is software related. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
    Are there any lights flashing on the printer when you are getting this error on the computer? Blinking Lights on the HP LaserJet P1005, P1006, P1007, P1008, and P1009 Printer Series.
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a nice weekend!
    Thank You.

  • Photosmart C4599 w. iMac OS 10.6.8 won't print. Error message "pipe broken" gone; still wont print

    Printer would not print. The error message: "Pipe broken. printer cartridges can't move, Open door and release cartridges."  However, when I opened the door they moved to the left and out of sight; I didn't see a broken pipe. When I closed the door, they moved back to the right.  Did this several times, installed a new black cartridge because mine was low, got a message to align printer, which I did.  Printer printed the alignment sheet, which I then scanned in and learned alignment was OK.  Printer still did not print although error message had disappeared. Then I followed all of the steps in HP's troubleshooting support (all of which I'd done on my own before) Got a message Printer Ready, but printer still doesn't print.  I tried some other files too, in case that one was corrupted in some way.
    I just tried again - with a new file.No success.  New error message: Unable to connect with printer; will try in 30 seconds.  All lights on the printer are fine, including the wireless light.
    Can someone help?  Many thanks.

    - Have you tried the troubleshooting here:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - You can try disabling the camer notification

    - Do you have any camera, scanner or similar software installed?  That may prevent iTunes from seeing the iPod.
