My HP Photosmart Printer/Scanner will not scan since installing Maverick help

Question

Since installing Maverick my HP printer/scanner will not scan documents print or save them, how can I fix this?

Answer 1

this worked for my HP printer/scanner:
Try:
uninstall all printer manufacturer apps and "utilities"
go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print
if your printer is there in the column on the left:
control-click on your printer
select "Reset Printing System..." and "reset" in the dialog that follows
if your printer is not in the column on the left, go to the next step.
do a factory reset on your printer. You'll have to consult the printer manual for how.
if you connect to your printer/scanner via wifi, reset the wifi system:
power down everything: modem, router, computer, and printer
power up each item in turn in the same order: modem, router, computer, and printer. Let each power up completely before moving on to the next
enter your wifi password in your printer so it can connect to the network
if you do not connect via wifi, go to the next step
go back to printers & scanners and it should see your printer and download a driver for it from Apple.If it won't, then try going to the HP website and there may be a new software package for your printer that is compatible with Mavericks. Download and install it.
