IMac will not recognize scan function of all in one printer

My 24" iMac will print on the HP Photosmart 3210xi All in One, but will not scan.
Twice, (to ensure I didn't miss anything) I have run the manual un-install procedures prescribed from HP, and installed the appropriate driver for Mac with no success.
When I try to scan, the scanner wants to begin, but the computer displays the message, "Sorry, scanner could not be initialized. (Scanner not found.)" We have the correct driver (Not the Print only option).
This printer still works "full-up" on the clunker PC, so it's not a hardware issue with the printer.
Any others with similar all-in-one issues? Solutions?

I had the same problem with my HP Photosmart 2610xi All In One Printer. I went to the HP website and downloaded the full feature software/drivers and now it works great. Below is the software that you should download for your printer...hope it works for you!

  • HT1338 I just purchased an iMac and an HP LaserJet M1217nfw printer.  The iMac will not recognize the disc that came with the printer.  What can I do?  This is my first Mac and just might be my last.  Installation has not been fun.  I would appreciate any

    I just purchase an iMac and an HP LaserJet M1217nfw printer.  I could not install with the installation disk that was furnished by HP.  This is my first Mac product and I'm just not sure what I'm doing...help!  I don't know if it's a mountain lion, a tiger, or a dog!  The box says OS X. I really need help.  Thanks for your time.

    What Mac operating system are you running on your iMac?
    Are you certain they're compatible?
    Have you checked with HP to see if there's a newer driver?

    In addition, I haven't loaded on any software with my last 3 printers.  They just work without them, IMHO.
    But a current driver would be necessary.

  • When I try to install WinXP using bootcamp, the iMac will not recognize the CD after it has already read all the information and is ready to begin installation. What is the problem?

    When I try to install WinXP using bootcamp, the iMac will not recognize the CD after it has already read all the information and is ready to begin installation. What is the problem?

    If your on 10.6.8 like you should be for security/stability updates, somewhere along the line a later Bootcamp version was issued and only supports Win 7.

  • My iMac will not recognize a blank DVD-R that I am trying to burn. It also won't eject unless I "shut down"

    My iMac will not recognize a blank DVD-R that I am trying to burn. It also won't eject unless I "shut down" and restart while holding down the mouse button. Anyone have any remedies?

    I ran into a similar (identical?) problem.  I inserted a DVD-R and my imac would not recognize it.  The only way to eject was to do a restart.  I tried some of the SMC reset stuff.  That didn't work.  I came across another thread on macrumors (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=336501)
    that solved my problem.
    I have an external Western Digital Passport drive that I use for timecapsule.  It turns out
    there are two files that WD adds to the /Library/LaunchDaemons that interferes with the
    SuperDrive.  I removed the WD files from the LaunchDaemons directory and everything works fine
    now.  Again, refer to the macrumors thread for more details.
    The files I removed from the LaunchDaemons directory were:
    com.wdc.WDDMservice.plist
    com.wdc.WDSmartWareServer.plist
    ..yes I had installed the WD backup software to see if I liked it....I did not, but didn't realize this files would cause a conflict with the SuperDrive.

  • All of sudden the airport utility on the iMac will not recognize wireless devices that have on network for ever

    Airport Utility will not recognize any of the devices on the network - mix of Time Capsule, Airport Extreme, and Airport Express.  The network works fine.  If you use the Airport Utility on iphone you can see and configure all the devices.  Any clues?

    AirPort Utility version 6.0 is rather limited in its abilities. I suggest you download and install the more useful version 5.6 (for Lion): AirPort Utility 5.6
    You can see both wired and wireless clients in Advanced > Logs and Statistics.
    AirPort Utility 6.0 cannot be deleted but it will coexist with AirPort Utility 5.6.
    Use 6.0 when you want pretty pictures. Use 5.6 when you actually want to do something.

  • Samsung Convoy U640 will not recognize/scan downloaded music

    I've downloaded wma files to the phone via Media Player but the phone will not recognize the files. Formatted the disk in the PC. Files do not have security as far as I can see/understand. The source wma files that were created in Media Player by ripping CDs and the downloaded files on the microSD card both play fine in Media Player. Phone keeps telling me that there are no files on the disk, but they are there. It was hard to find any music file specs for the Convoy U640 but I found one that says they should play wma files. First time trying this. Does the Convoy U640 play wma files? Phone is up to date driver-wise.    

    Tried a few more times. Gave up on Verizon procedures, Samsung procedures, Media Player. Ran SanDisk Media Manager that came free with the SD card. Three or four clicks and I downloaded 750 songs without a hitch. Worked perfectly. Thanks San Disk!

    Hi @EslamHassan
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I gather that you have a question regarding the HP All-in-One Printer Remote app.
    The LaserJet M127fw printer is not a supported printer for the HP AiO app. I have included the HP Printers and Supported Mobile Printing Solutions document for reference.

  • HP AiO Remote will not recognize scan and copy function of HP Envy 120 printer

    Good morning! HP AiO Remote App is installed on my iPad4 and in the same WiFi network with my HP Envy 120 printer. The printer is recognized by the app and marked with a green led. When I tap on scan or copy in the app menu, it tells me that these functions were available in the app only for printers which provide these features. But HP Envy 120 has both scanner and copier. And last time it worked. Some idea what could have happened here? Thanks. UJ

    Hi UJKarl, welcome to the HP Forums. You should be able to scan from the HP AIO Remote App on your Envy 120 printer. You probably just need to power cycle the printer, iPad and router to regain proper function.
    Turn off your printer with the power button. Power down the iPad by holding the sleep button down until you get the option to 'slide to power off'. Then disconnect the power cord to your router and count to about 10, and then plug it back in. Once the router comes back online, turn the printer on. When the printer comes back online (blue wi-fi light stops blinking), then power the iPad back up. Try again, and it should work.
    Let me know how it turns out.

  • IMac will not recognize scanner

    My iMac 10.6.4 will not scan. I have an HP Deskjet F4280; it will print fine, but when I try to scan using HP scan pro, or Adobe Acrobat, or Photoshop, it says "An error occurred while communicating with the HP imaging device." I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Adobe software, but nothing works. It started doing this with a previous HP printer--worked fine for several months, then just quit. Now it's doing the same with this new printer. But it prints fine.

    This is really weird I have been using the same HP printer/scanner C3100 but suddenly it won't recognize or scan;however, it will print and make copies
    Yes, I have updated all the drivers and nothing, I wouldn't try contacting HP they charge an outrageous hourly rate to answer a stupid question.
    Any suggestions

  • 27" I7 iMac will not recognize thumb drive

    I have a PNY 8gb Attache thumb drive that is not recognized by my 2010 27" I7 iMac.    It does not show on the desktop, disk utility, finder or system profile. However, this thumb drive works on my MacBook, 2006 24" iMac and a Dell laptop running XP.   I have 4 other drives (1-4gb) that work on all of our computers. Currently running Lion @ 10.7.3 but this problem existed on SL @ 10.6.8 also.   I have tried this drive as a FAT-32 and Mac OS journaled and the 27" still will not recogize the drive.    Any thoughts?    Thank you.
    Forgot to mention - called Applecare but they couldn't help.

    Try doing a SMC reset, that might help. Otherwise I'd try another thumb drive.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • My iMac will not recognize the factory speakers or any external hard ware until I restart the computer.

    Hey all,
    I have a relatively new iMac (Purchased Dec 2011) that runs on OS 10.7.3.  Currently we are having problems with the computer recognizing any plug-ins when we first turn the computer on (including all USB or Firewire hard ware and builtin speakers).  The computer just does not acknowledge that they are there until I restart the computer, at which point everything works great.
    I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on how to fix this issue... it's not major, but it is a pain to have to restart the computer each time you need to use an external hard drive or listen to music.
    Thanks in advanced, and just to let you know I just updated my software yesterday.

    As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Connect the devices and see if the same problem persists. Does it?

  • IMac does not recognize any disk at all

    Hi, guys, here is something new, and I would appreciate if you can help me out!
    I was watching a DVD on my iMac intel, and decided to play FIFA world cup for a while. So I booted my mac to Windows, while it's booting, I inserted FIFA world cup disk into the DVD driver as usual. However, the computer did not boot into Windows, instead it turned into black screen. I waited for a while, but nothing was happening, so I manually turned off the computer.
    After, I restarted my computer, the DVD driver refused to recognize any disks (after inserting disks, the driver tries to read, and then ejects the disk). So I repaired the disk permissions, but nothing has improved. Then I verified the disk, the following massage came out:
    Volume Header needs minor repair
    The volume The volume sh needs to be repaired.
    Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
    1 HFS volume checked
    Volume needs repair
    So, I couldn't repair the disk, and I tried to repair it from my start up disk, but I couldn't, because the computer doesn't read the disk.
    And now, my computer still can't read and recognize disks.
    Thanks indeed for your help

    Hi,
    have a look with the 'Sytem Profiler' if there is the Disc Drive mentioned !
    As for a solution you could try and do the System Update 10.4.8 again with using the combo update found here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1048comboupdateintel.html
    BUT, as with your Harddisc OSX partition still having to be repaired I'm not that sure if this a good idea.
    You should try to make a backup at least of your important files and if you can try to find a friend with an external drive from which you can boot Mac.
    Otherwise call Apple Care or go to the shop where you bought it for a repair as there is still the possibility that your Disc Drive itself is broken.
    Regards
    Stefan
