Need help scanning with new HP multi-function printer/scanner/fax

My new HP M1212nf MFP was recognized and installed in System Preferences with no problem for the printing and the fax functions. However, it is not recognized by the system software as a scanner. It will scan using the supplied HP software, but I would like to use it with Image Capture. HP Support says that this is an Apple problem for not providing a scanner driver for this multifunction. Does anyone know a way around this? Thanks.

I finally contacted HP support by phone rather than email, and found out that we were both asking the "wrong" question. It turns out that the scan function of this MFP was designed to be simple and not provide more extensive capabilities of a photo scanner. Hence, no software will provide additional capabilities like dust-off, color correction, etc. That is not what I was told by the salesman at the local office store, but buyer beware. And, for my purposes, it is acceptable since I use my Epson photo scanner for photo work. The main thing I wanted this MFP for was network printing, and it does that well.

Multi function printer/scanner

I need to buy a printer with scanner functions and other features, I would like something not expensive, just for home use but a model which is fully working with Snow Leopard. A good brand for Mac
Thanks for suggestions

Epson does make capable printers, and I have owned an Epson multi-function in the past. In my experience, the Epson printers are noisier and often require a nozzle-cleaning operation that wastes ink. My current Canon multi-function is almost silent and has never required any maintenance operation to achieve perfect prints. It also has two paper trays for additional convenience and does duplex printing. Mine is the MP600, no doubt obsolete. Ink cost is also a bit less for the Canon models that use the common CLI-8 4-color + pigment black ink cartridges. Of course, this is just my experience.

Need help scanning with OS X 10.7.4 and HP 4780 printer/scanner

I am printing wirelessly to my HP, but I cannot scan. Any suggestions? (I was able to scan before getting new software.)

Apple distributes all driver updates through the App Store. The latest one includes an update for the HP Photosmart C4700 series:
Go to the App Store for updates, not the HP site.
WIth Lion, scanning in Preview is a bit odd. The first time you select Preview > Import from scanner, you must select "Include networked devicers". Then, you need to select Preview > Import from Scanner again, and your HP should appear in a submenu. What happens when you try that?

Need help choosing a new all in one printer. Help!!!

I'm so sick my hp d135
It has given me nothing but pain.multiple users never worked
ink cartriges never lasted.
And I've had a scanner failure for the past two years.
shame on me I kept it this long.

MacFormat magazine (http://www.macformat.co.uk/) has a Buyer's Guide section at the back of each issue of the magazine where they recommend the best hardware and software for your Mac. Under printers they highly rate the Canon PIXMA MG8150 and the Canon PIXMA MG6150 (bear in mind that these are UK model numbers and the same printers may have different model numbers in your country!).

Have an Epson workforce 600 worked fine until new router and Lion installed. Now when I try and scan with the all in one I get a "POWER PC APPLICATIONS ARE NO LONGER SUPPORTED" and my IMAC does not recognize that the Epson is a multi function printer.

Installed a new router. Installed Lion. Have an Epson Workforce 600 multi function printer. Two problems.
1. I cannot get Lion to recognize that the Epson is a multi function printer. There is no scan option on the "print/Scan" popup window.
2. When I try and use the epson scan utility I get: POWER PC APPLICATIONS ARE NOT LONGER SUPPORTED.
I have tried EPSON support with no real luck as they say it is Apple upgrades that are the problem.
Apple support was quite rude..said it was not their problem and that I should call epson. Told the I did but it made no difference just got the same reply.
Have no idea what to do.....seems I cannot find out which multi-function printers Lion supports.

Not to give you another run around, but you need new printer drivers from Epson for your printer so it works in Lion.
Now it could be that they are working on it, or that they could have decided not to provide new drivers in order for you to force upgrade.
The only thing a user can do is decide very carefully BEFORE upgrading to a newer Apple operating system, make sure that all their current hardware and software works and make a decision for themselves.
Since you upgraded to Lion, you can go back to Snow Leopard and your PPC software will work.
Do you need instructions?

Faxing from Mountain Lion with a multi-function printer

I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion from Lion. Of course, my Apple external modem hasn't worked since the initial upgrade.
I hadn't done too much about this, but it really is awfully convenient to fax from my computer, vs. printing something out and putting it in the fax machine. (I have a stand-alone one.)
I DO have a Canon multi-function printer (the MX870). When I set it up (which was a nigthmare) I didn't setup the fax portion because I HAVE a fax.
But now ... well, I'm tired of not being able to fax from my computer. So I know I SHOULD be able to, but I haven't been able to get it to work. I connected the phone line (it's on a splitter with the other portion going to our comcast cable modem.) But it's not visible via the "add print or scanner" preference. The manual is less than clear.
Do I need to add some Canon software? I'm not at home now, but I'm thinking I'll try that next.
Any help wold be much appreciated. I know I could buy a new external modem, but as I'm about to purchase a new Retina MacBook pro, I'd just as soon not!
(P.S. Perhaps this goes in networking.)

Yes absolutely. I set it up last Fall and have been using it until last week, at whick time I lost wireless connectivity with router for no reason at all. I can not remember how to do it now and I am looking for the answer myself.
This link to an online chat on www.hp.com with a tech might help you.

I unfortunately upgraded my browser to IE8 last week and the chat support online does not support that browser. If you get an answer, I would appreciate it if you would post the answer on this thread so that I can re-learn it myself. Thanks. Good Luck.

Is an OCR app included with the purchase of a Canon MF216n multi-function printer?

Just purchased this multi-function printer and the documentation seems to imply that I need to acquire an external OCR app. Please confirm and / or clarify. Or do I need to download an app from the web like Free OCR to Word?
By the way, so far the MF216n seems like an excellent printer, etc.. It is amazingly fast in printing out the stuff from the web; very little latency between pushing the print button and when the page becoming available.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi HandletheTruth.
I will be able to assist you.
The MF Toolbox 4.9 software supports scanning in the document using OCR processing; however, you will need a separate OCR software that will allow you to edit the software.
I hope this information is helpful to you. Should you need further assistance, please contact us at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666).

I need help making a new Arch install ISO

I have posted a couple of messages, but as yet no one seems to have responded, probably because they have not read them.
I need help building a new ISO for Arch, to take account of dmraid.
I can and have built ones that get so far, and clearly I am not that far away.
All I need help with now is getting at the contents of the initial ramdisk (/isolinux/initrd.img) so I can make a new one with modifications, and if anyone can help, I need a hand working out how to use the kernel26.img that I will end up with on a system.
Any help appreaciated.

As far as I know this will be included in the next ISO release. I solved it by manually bringing the dmraid package to the install and wrote a guide on installing your root system on dmraid. However when the system crashes I have the slight inconvenience of having to install dmraid and manually mount the sets to do a recovery. I guess this is the part you want to get rid of aswell. I decided to wait until the next holy ISO.

Install Enterprise WSD Multi-Function Printer does not work for Win10

Hallo, I installed Win10 three days ago and I am repeatedly getting the same error message. Can you help? Hewlett-Packard - Enterprise WSD Multi-Function Printer, Multi-Function Printer, Other hardware - Null Print - HP ENVY 7640 series thanks!

There is the pxlmono package, which has a pxlcolor driver that will allow printing in colour, and possibly two sided printing and stapling. But I doubt that you will have hole punch with this driver. Also, the Linux Foundation that provides this driver set was recently hacked and the web site is not back online yet.
I would echo PAHUs conclusion about the driver you need. I would also add that the pxlmono/pxlcolor drivers for all Ricoh family of printers (Lanier is a member of the Ricoh family of printers) are actually provided by Ricoh. They would have all the functionality that your printer supports. It therefore would support two sided printing if you have a duplexer on the printer. The driver would also support any hole punching or stapling if your printer is so equipped.
Also, as PAHU mentions, the OpenPrinting.org site is down right now. I have all the packages you would need. The big problem is that the Ghostscript package is about 35 MB in size. I don't have enough server space to host it. If you must get the printer working right now, please e-mail me at walterwego at macosx dot com. I could try to send you the file using an outside file transfer site.
EDIT: I just checked the PPDs included in the latest pxlmono package. The Lanier LD655C is not included in the package. I don't know which, if any, of the included drivers you could substitute. It looks like you will have to use the B&W Generic PCL driver until the OpenPrinting site is back up and a Ricoh tech is available to help with suitable model substitution.

Canon PIXMA MX892 multi-function printer set up . What is a WEP key?

Trying to set up my new PIXMA MX892 multi-function printer and need to enter a WEP key. What is that and where can I find it?

Hello Vermont-Ken.
The WEP key would be the encryption key that is being used by your router. Please check the documentation for your router to find out more about the current key for the router.
If you continue to have difficulties, please contact our support group using the "Contact Us" link below.

Multi-function printer compatibility

I have read in a few places that a multi-function printer (print, scan, fax, copy) will not work with all of the computers on the network plugged in to the USB port of the time capsule
to anyone that has the time capsule, is this true?
will all computers on the network be able to print?
because it is not too crucial for me to be able to scan to and fax from other computers on the network, will the scan and fax functions be usable on at least one of the computers?

TC (and airport extreme) peripheral support falls into universal (ethernet) and special (usb).
Anything that can be connected to the ethernet port will be translated through the wireless system and work just well (or not well) as it would if connected via ethernet. Devices plugged into the USB port (directly or through a hub) require special support by Apple. Apple writes drivers for these and adds a tab to the airport utility software. This used to be just printers. Currently, this is limited to printers and hard drives. MFCs go beyond the simple printing function Apple is trying to support via USB.
In my case, I have a Brother 7820n MFC. Its designed to operate over ethernet. Plugged into the TC, this means printing, scanning, and faxing (right out the phone jack) wirelessly - from every computer in the house.
Does your MFC offer an ethernet upgrade?

Laser Multi-function printer recommendation

I know I'm probably not supposed to be asking for product recommendations here, but am not sure where else to go (if there are other good forums for this kind of thing, please let me know).
Anyone have any recommendations on a good laser multi-function printer? I'm interested in specific models, but am more interested in brands that are actually friendly to Macs in terms of updating software, providing support, etc. My current model is an HP Laserjet 3052, for which there is still no software update to accommodate for Leopard (which was released months ago).
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

After long consideration and being fed up with issues with HP printers in he past (especially with limited functionalities with Mac OS), I bought me a Canon MP560 this summer.
I think it's a great value for money, to refill the ink is reasonably priced (o.k., it could always be cheaper), but my most favorite feature is that I can print and scan from anywhere in the house. So far I am very pleased with both the scanning and printing results. Installation and handling of the SW suite is a child's play.
If I had to print more I would actually look into a Laser / LED MFP... perhaps the Brother MFC-9120CN or its wireless brother MFC-9320CW, which costs actually quite a bit more.
Unfortunately, as it seems, Canon has nothing to offer in this class of printers at reasonable prices that are also rated high.
Just my 10 cents.

10.6.7 upgrade messes up my Canon MX700 multi-function print connection

I have a Canon MX700 multi-function printer connected to my Mac Pro. I have printer sharing on and enabled in the firewall and sharing preferences. I have an iMac that connects to this printer through the Mac Pro. It has worked fine for years like this.
I upgraded to the latest 10.6.7 software, and that also came with new Canon printer drivers a few days ago. Now I have printer issues.
Whenever I print from either machine, a warning box appears on the Mac Pro for 5 seconds:
Do you want the application "canonijnetwork.bundle" to accept incoming network connections?
Clicking Deny may limit the application's behavior. This setting can be changed in the Firewall pane of Security preferences>
( Deny ) ( Allow )
If I can click on the Allow button in those 5 seconds, then the job prints. Otherwise, the print queue is paused -- some of the time.
If I open the print queue and pause, then resume the printer, I get the warning box again, with another chance to Allow.
This happens every time. I went to the firewall and sharing and printer preferences and made sure that everything was allowed, but to no avail.
I power cycled the machines and printers, but no change.
I am thinking that this is a bug in the new security upgrade, or the new drivers.
Can someone else verify that this is happening to others?
Any suggestions on how to get permissions to stick?

Thanks for the reply. I just tried that, but the problem did not go away. I did notice that in the print queue status window, when I am printing from the same machine, says "A communication error has occurred." if I do not click the Allow button in time.
I just tried turning my firewall off, and everything went back to normal. The canonijnetwork.bundle is listed as accepting connections. Printer sharing is also listed as accepting connections.
So, I turn the firewall back on again, and the problem starts up again -- even though it says that all are still accepting network connections.
