My HP Photosmart Plus with wifi won't scan to my iMac.

The error message says: HP Scan 3 cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure HP Scan 3 works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application...
My scanner worked fine before, and would put a copy of the scan on my iMac desktop. I checked for Apple updates.
Any help appreciated!
Tim

Photosmart Plus B209a-m Won't connect to iPhone Hotspot

This is my first time to post. Hopefully, someone can help me. My friend is using a Verizon iPhone as a hotspot. He can connect 5 devices to the iPhone hotspot. When I attempted to connect his Photosmart Plus B209a-m to the hotspot, the laptop loses the wireless connection to the hotspot. The printer installation wizard gets to the point where it finds the SSID and I enter the security phrase. When the install process reaches about 40%, the his laptop loses the wireless connection.
The only way to reconnect the laptop to the iPhone is to disable the printer wireless radio or turn the printer off.
The hotspot uses WPA-PSK security. I noticed that when the wizard found the hotspot it showed WPA security not WPA-PSK.
Is there an update for the printer so that it can connect using WPA-PSK? I could not find one. Or is there something else that I need to do to make the printer connect to the iPhone hotspot.
I worked with Verizon support then with Apple support but since we can connect 2 laptops and a Smartphone to the hotspot, they say it is a printer issue.
Thanks.

Are you sure the hotspot uses WPA and not WPA2 (with or without the suffixes of PSK or AES is all the same)?
The printer will probably not connect to WPA2. Is there a way to change the iPhone encryption?
Actually, is there a way to remove the encryption altogether for testing purposes?

I have a photosmart plus B209a but when I scan into my PC i only have the option of sending it to p

B209a when I scan a document into my computer I only have the option of sending it into my pictures, I cannot send it to documents or to Adobe reader. As this is not something I need very often but once in awhile I need to convert a document into PDF format but now I cannot do that and I do not want to pay for Adobe reader in order to covert into PDF.
I used to be able to scan and send it in Email but now I cannot even do that even if I save it as a file.
Any suggestions please. My computer is pavilion Elite HPE 150f using IE8 windows 7 64 bit purchased last April.

I had a nasty problem a week or so ago (nothing to do with your issue). I decided to reset the iPad back to factory level. I then restored it using a backup that I had made before the problem. Turns out that I did not need to do that but,......finally getting to the point , I started with 7.2 GB free and wound up with 8.4 GB free. I did not lose anything and I have no clue what caused me to recover that space. In any event, I am babbling on about this in case it might be of help to you.
Oh, I do know some apps cache stuff, but very few allow you to clear that cache.
Barry
edit: I forgot to suggest that you reset the iPad by holding the power and home keys down until the Apple logo appears.

Photosmart Plus B209a won't communicate with my computer

I have a Photosmart Plus B209a, and I run 4 different laptops with a wireless connection They run Windows Vista, and Windows 7, and I can not print either. The Wireless hub was recently changed, but prior to that I could not print. I get an error message when trying to reinstall the printer software from Windows that states that the USB device is not recognized AND SHOULD BE REPLACED .I bought a brand new USB cord for the printer from HP, and it still doesn't work. I was on the phone with HP for an hour and a half and they had control of my laptop and the issue is still not resolved, she said it must be my laptops problem and then transferred me to an online pay for help service that was a minimum charge of $65. All I know is I have had problems with this happening from the start, it seems every time there is a software upgrade, I have to reconnect to the printer, and now WINDOWS is not even recognizing the device...I will be interested in any answers you receive. Thanks.

Hi there!!
You can download the drivers on the Samsung website. Go here and click "Software", under the Download Center. This will be the driver you need for Windows Vista.

Hp photosmart plus won't print and alignment failed

HP Photosmart Plus stopped printing without any warning bells/error messages. Changed the black ink cartridge, used the clean and allign tools...alignment failed is the error messge I get and it still won't print.

Hi @jmfmls,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that your HP Photosmart Plus will not print and the alignment failed. I am happy to help you with these issues!
For further assistance, I will need to know some more information:
The Product/Model Number of your printer. Follow instructions in this link. Finding Your HP Product Model Number.
If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
If the printer is connected, Wireless, Ethernet, or USB.
If the printer is able to make copies by itself.
If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.

HP Photosmart Plus B210a all-in-one won't display any networks in the list.

Hi, I recently purchased a HP Photosmart Plus all in one printer and I've been having trouble with it from day one.
First off, it won't connect wirelessly.
It won't display any networks in the list when searched for, it won't take my network details when I manually input them and it won't take any static IP address I've tried from other suggestions.
Secondly, the print quality is very bad. Streaks and fading are occuring and after using up 70% of my ink trying to sort it out through troubleshooting it's still bad.
It's extremely important for me to be able to have web access using the printer as all members of my household use it and it'll get fustrating having to car laptops and computers around to print.
Can anybody help at all?

Top line says "The wireless radio is not functioning. Contact HP support"
I take this as a very bad sign and needs replacing?
The tests I done produce streaks, fading and lines. I printed off two photos, one from a memory card and one from a scan. The memory card produced heavy blocked lines of color and the scan was just dull.
I'm using a Wanadoo Wireless Livebox and Windows 7 64 Bit
One other question... is this like a brilliant printer for photos mainly? I'm a Graphics design student and although my final prints are made from home I would like accurate and decent printouts for my portfolios. Should I keep this or go for another one with similar features and better print quality?

HP Photosmart Plus B210a won't add

Hi!
My HP Photosmart Plus B210a won't create a printer queue in the printer list! Any help on installing the printer?
Thanks in anticipation!

Okay, I found this:

Looks like the same problem, but with Mac OS X 10.4 and a slightly different HP printer. How do I reinstall my MacBook Air like she did? (I have no experience with this).
Any easy way to back up everything I need to backup? I have an external hard drive.
Do I reinstall using the white 'sort-of' USB stick that came with my MacBook Air?

Hp photosmart plus b209a-m not connecting to wifi

Hello forum members,
I have recently changed modems to a Zxytel model (in Prague in the Czech Republic) and successfully set up the wifi with my 15" MacBook Pro using the latest Lion OS, as well as on my iPhone and iPad. However, I cannot get my HP Photosmart Plus B209a-m correctly set up on the wireless network. I go through the standard setup procedures using the HP Setup Assistant (as I have many times before with no problems). It recognizes the printer on the system, but eventually gives me a "Device Not Reachable" error message (it can't find my MacBook, although I'm successfully using the laptop on the same wifi address). I'm stumped.
I've tried rebooting the laptop, unplugging the printer, deleting the printer from my list and starting all over again. None of them are time consuming, so no big deal, but none of them are solving my issues either.
In the meantime, I can print using a USB cable, so I'm not totally out of luck, but I'd like to get this printer properly configured for wireless use.
Any help?

You didn't try to use it wireless and forget to change it back to wired?
Unplug it for 30 seconds and then plug it back in?

I've been texting my friend with iMessage with wifi on and all of a sudden it changed to text message and won't let me send messages. My wifi is still on and working but it won't switch back to iMessage. Please help

What I recommend you try doing first is to turn iMessage off then back on. If that doesn't work, make sure that your Apple ID and password are correct. If everything seems correct and you still can't send out messages using iMessage instead of text message, I think you should either try calling AppleCare at 1-800-MY-IPHONE (1-800-694-7466) and/or scheduling an appointment at the Genius Bar at an Apple Store (that is, if there's one close to you).
Hope this helps!

Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I had photosmart plus b209a printer with my macbook pro. It has wireless, but I have no idea how to set up it?

I did search the driver for this printer in hp.com, but it didn't show any thing for me to download, can I set up wireless without install cd? Thanks.

Printing PDF with HP Photosmart plus

I cannot print a PDF fie with my HP Photosmart plus model All In One B210a Series. Any suggestions or any help?

You'll have to give us more information: What Mac OS X version? What version of Acrobat? Did it work before and just stop working? What exactly happens when you print the PDF? Does it happen with even the simplest PDF file or only some?
BTW, I have no problems printing any PDF I've encountered from my HP Photosmart C4680 out of either Acrobat 9 Pro or Acrobat X Pro, from either Mac OS X 10.6 or 10.7.
