I can print but I can't scan with my air express ?

like I said I can print fine but I cant scan using airport express why ?

Only the print function is supported at the USB port of the AirPort routers. Advanced features like copy, maintenance, scan etc are not supported.
If you need these options, you will need to connect your All-in-One directly to the USB port on your computer.
Reason....printer manufacturers have not provided full function network USB drivers....so far. You might want to lobby your printer manufacturer if you would like to see this type of USB functionality from them.
If your All-in-One can connect using wireless only, or by wired Ethernet connection to the AirPort router, all of the features will be available to you.

If you are having trouble scanning with windows 7 you can run this print and scan doctor. It will help diagnose and resolve many printing and scanning issues. Let us know if this helps !

I'm a printer tech with HP.

I can print; but I can't scan.

I own an Expson CX4600. My printer is hooked into the Airport Extreme Base Station.
I have no printing issues. Unfortunately; I cannot scan. Each time I click on scan; I receive an error telling me to check my cable connections.

It appears that the AirPort base stations only support the printing feature of this particular printer. See the following: The iFelix unofficial Airport Extreme and Airport Express Printer Compatibility List

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
Icons are nothing more than links to programs -- and a link is a pointer, not an actual program.
It may be that the printer software is not working properly or that the Icon you are using is just not connected, that is, pointing to -- anything useful.
You can perhaps correct the whole mess by installing (reinstalling) the Full Feature Software for the printer. The installation process may take care of the broken Icon and whatever else is going on elsewhere that is keeping the scanning function from working properly.
General Instructions to Install the Printer Software

I just hooked up my Canon MP830 printer/scanner/fax to my MAC and can print but can't scan. Anyone out there know what to do with this?

Have you downloaded the approriate Snow Leopard drivers for that printer? Make sure you get the appropriate and latest MP Navigator, as you start scans from the computer, not the all-in-one. Get them from http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mp_s eries/pixma_mp830#DriversAndSoftware

I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 on Windows XP, SP3

I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 All-in-One.
I have an (obsolete) Windows XP, SP3 computer. Obviously, no updates from Microsoft
have occurred that might have impacted my Canon Pixma MX479.
When I attempt to send 1 or more pages from a PDF file to the printer, I don't even get the
Canon PIXMA popup that would allow me to cancel the print job.
Yet the Print Queue icon appears in the lower right corner of my monitor.
If I view the Print Queue, the print queue shows "spooling" and does nothing more.
If I attempt to CANCEL the print job in the Print Queue, it simply changes to "deleting -
spooling".
I cannot cancel the print job that shows NOT RESPONDING via Task Manager, either.
In fact, the only way the Print Queue icon disappears is if I totally reboot my computer!
"Luckily", I can still print e-mails, Word documents, and even my downloaded PDF of my
bank statement.
So, I was thinking that it was *only* PIXMA'S OWN SCANNED PDFS that could not be
printed ON THE SAME PIXMA 479.
However, I have since realized that I also cannot print USPS Signature Proof of Delivery
PDFs that I received from USPS via e-mail.
So why can I print *some* PDF files, but not *all* PDF files, like I previously could do?
THESE SCANS ARE OF LEGAL DOCUMENTS, SO I WILL LIKELY HAVE TO E-MAIL
THE REQUISITE, PREVIOUSLY SCANNED PDFS TO FEDEX TO PAY FOR *THEM*
TO PRINT THEM.
NOTE: I *have* tried turning the PIXMA off, unplugging it, rebooting the computer, plugging
the PIXM in and restarting the PIXMA - still no ability to print PIXMA-scanned PDFs.
And, I find it very strange that e-mails, Word documents, and some other PDFs print with
no problem "around" "NOT RESPONDING" PIXMA print jobs.
I have owned Canon printers for years, including the MX420, and the MX340.

There may be some security issues related to the USPS PDFs.

I can't help with the scan/print problem. You seem to have done everything I would try.
I don't know if maybe using a registry cleaner would help.

reset the ipad by holding the home button and sleep/wake button together until the ipad turns off. Ignore the slide to power off message if it comes up. Then hold the sleep/wake button for a few seconds to turn it back on. You should get the apple logo then.

I can read but I can't write to an external drive - changing permissions

I can read but I can't write to an external drive.
How do I change permissions? None of the helps here on the discussions have helped.
Why would a computer company let me read files but not write? Hahaha. This is insane.
I have to write computer files for work. It's a project due this morning.
Man, I'm going to have to go back to PC.
Just need the compter to write files.

If it's formatted as NTFS, reformat it as MS-DOS, exFAT, or Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as desired.
If it's formatted as FAT32 or exFAT, use the Disk Utility's Repair Disk command on it.
If it's formatted as Mac OS Extended, click Authenticate and provide your administrator password, or change the permissions on that specific folder in its Get Info window.

Hello railenemarie16, let's solve this mystery together! Have you tried deleting your contact from her device and then re-adding? Also, have her send you a message manually instead of from the saved contact. Did you have an iPhone previously before the Note 3 and used iMessage? Keep us posted!

i have tried the following suggestion and fixed my problem..
i wish it works for you too..
"All you need to do is to open registry editor by going to
Start menu, Run, typing regedit and then Enter. After that, in the
registry editor, walk yourself through the tree in the left pane,
till you reach
My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32
And then on the right pane, right click and click on New,
select String value, enter "wavemapper" (without quots of course),
ENTER, type "msacm32.drv", ENTER.
Close the editor. No need to restart. Video on Google and
YouTube et al would work fine now."

If you already have a printer, you can probable use a program like, printopia to let your mac share your printer with the iOS device like your iPad. The catch being your computer has to be on, and not asleep, for the printer to work with your iPad.
If you need a printer that is airprint ready, you can find a list on AirPrint, wireless printing straight from your iPad. Check out the bottom of the page where it says works with airprint enabled printers. There are even links on the page so you can buy the printers right from Apple's website.

Can I use IMovie HD 6.4 with Final Cut Express?

Can I use IMovie HD 6.4 with Final Cut Express?

Hi
Yes and no.
You can't get an editable material over from one to the other.
eg a misspelled word in iMovie project can't be corrected in FCE/P any version.
I use iMovie combined with FCE/P in just one case when there are to many drop outs
on the raw material eg recorded in LP-mode (90min on a 60min tape)
Then iMovie can import in a more forgiving way.
BUT
When this material is moved over to FCE/P the audio parts needs to be rendered
not just one time but whenever any change is done. A very nearv-wrecking and tedious
procedure.
Summary. Joint project should use same platform. In my cases me and friend has
each one full version of FCE4 and an external hard disk that contain the movie
project.
This we exchange with each other to do each the parts that we are on best to do.
Yours Bengt W

My HP 1315xi All in One is recognized as a printer, but I can't use it's scanning features. How do I fix this?

I have Mac OSX Mavericks installed. My printer is an HP PSC 1315xi (this is what's written on the printer) All in One printer/scanner. When I use it as a printer, it functions perfectly. When I attempt to use it as a scanner, however, it fails to work. If I press scan on the printer, the power light on the printer flashes, indicating, according to HP, a communication error. When I attempt to scan through image capture or preview, it tells me that there is no scanner detected, or simply disallows the ability to click the "import from scanner" button, depending on which I program I use. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software a few times, but still have not reached a solution. On Apple's list of driver software, the 1310 series of HP PSC printers only has the print capability listed. Scan and Fax are not listed. This confuses me because my printer is a 1310 series, but is clearly a scanner. Is it just the case that I am unable to use my scanner as a scanner? If so, why? It's not a new scanner and it seems absurd that the software wouldn't exist which would allow me to use my HP scanner for the tasks it was built to perform. Apologies, I've been messing with it all day, and I'm frustrated with the whole situation.

The list you saw that shows what drivers are available from Apple Software Update is based on what drivers are supplied by the vendor to Apple. So it would appear that HP has not provided Apple with a scanner driver for 10.9 (known as an ICA driver), or provided an update if one was available for a previous version of OS X, so that you can scan from Image Capture.
I checked the HP web site for your model and they don't show any scanner driver or scanning software. If there was a scanner driver, you would be able to use Vuescan.
As for the Scan button not working, the following is documented by HP
Scanning to the computer from the printer control panel is not available when you scan with Preview, Image Capture, or Printer browser methods. You must use HP Scan software to scan from the printer.
But there does not appear to be any version of HP Scan software available for 10.9. So unless someone else has some workaround, it seems that you won't be able to scan with this model of HP.

In Photoshop Elements 12 I can print but not scan..error message "Cannot find Wia compliant device". It can find the device or else it wouldn't print. How do I get it to scan??

I have tried everything to get the program to see my printer. By reinstalling divice drivers for printer to reinstalling program several times. Still I can print from my printer but not scan. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Thanks for the update.
If you can scan with the HP software then at least we know the system can see the scanner.
Can you try the organizer to see if that works any differently. Once you load the organizer, go to the Edit menu and select Preferences -> Scanner - see if that sees it.
Since you are on Elements 12, you still have the twain option available to try. See the following document which describes moving the twain driver.
