Not recognizing HP OfficeJet 6700 Premium for Scanning

Hi to all,
I bought and set up an HP OfficeJet 6700 Premium. It is working fine for printing. However it won't recognize the HP Office Jet for scanning. Attempted both from device and from PC. I get a message that device was "not found"...I am running Windows 7.1
The manual says this below:
If your printer is connected to a network and you are scanning to a Windows
computer, before you can scan from the control panel, you need to enable scanning
from the software. From the computer desktop, click Start, select Programs or All
Programs, select the folder for your HP printer, and then select the option for your
HP printer. Double-click Scanner Actions, double-click Manage Scan to
Computer, and then click Enable.
I see the HP printer from the Programs menu, but I cannot get to the instruction - Scanner Actions.
Please help.
Thank you.

Hi ColleenM,
I am sorry to hear you are having such difficulty scanning. The HP Print and Scan Doctor (PSDR) was designed by HP to provide users with the troubleshooting and problem solving features needed to resolve many common problems experienced with HP print and scan products connected to Windows-based computers.
On an unrelated note, there was a firmware update released for the Officejet 6700 that you may or may not need. This firmware update likely has nothing to so with the issue you are experiencing but I would like to take the opportunity to let you know about it. Having the newest update does the following:
Fix/Enhancement
1) Enhance ePrint Diagnostic report for ePrint Setup.
2) Improve ease of wireless setup.
3) Enhanced Embedded Web Services.
4) Improve Print Quality.
5) Improve Airport Express connectivity.
6) Improve the accuracy & reliability of ink level gauge.
7) Improve ADF pick performance.
8) Improved paper handling
To check the version of your current printer firmware:
Printer Information Screen
1. From the Control panel, press Help (?) button, select Printer Information
2. Use the down arrow button to scroll to the 2nd screen
3. The current firmware revision will appear on the screen
If you do not have Version MPM3CN1322DR you need the update.
HP Officejet 6700 Premium e-All-in-One Firmware.
Let me know what happens with the PSDR. If the issue persists let me know, I am eager to help you resolve this.

Is there a workaround for Officejet 6700 Premium for MacBook Air version 10.10

Is there are a workaround for compatibility issue between OfficeJet 6700 Premium with MacBook Air OS X 10.10 Yosemite?

Welcome to the forums @Bron15
I read your post about wanting a work around for your Officejet 6700 to be used on 10.10.
There is a Full Feature driver available for you to install on Yosemite, therefore it's fully compatible. Download the driver below. If there are any issues, please let me know what exactly the problems are.

HP Officejet 6700 Premium Not connected for eprint

Good evening,
I bought a officejet 6700 Premium and I installed it 10 days ago, The printers worked properly for a couple of days.
Now, if I log on in ePrintcentre, a message says that the printer is not connected.
If I launch a print using the wireless net (e.g using my IPHONE while I'm at home and using my home wireless) it works.
But if I launch a print @ my HPe address the printer doesn't work and remains in pending message (on eprint centre) for a while and then become "failed".
Is there something to set in the printer panel?
Thank you very much

Hi Antonio,
I would check if the printer has the latest firmware. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02919168&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=e...
Then, turn the printer off for about 20 seconds, then power it on again. When it's back at the home screen, print an info sheet to check your eprint connection. Front panel of printer>eprint icon>print info
This next step will require you to delete your failed print jobs: (steps from http://www8.hp.com/ca/en/support-topics/mobile-printing/mobile-print-help-iphone-ipad.html)
Click the tab at the top of the page with the name of your printer.
In the Recent Print Jobs section, click View Job History.
Click Cancel next to any print jobs that you want to clear from the queue. (Try printing again)
***If those steps fail, you'll have to call the HP Eprint support line @ 1-855-785-2777
Good luck

Scan-to-email app with Officejet 6700 Premium printer

how to scan and email
Scan-to-email app with Officejet 6700 Premium printer - attachment does not come through

Hi
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you are unable to use the scan to email feature of your Officejet 6700 printer because you are getting an unable to connect message.
There are several steps I would like you to try please.
Please turn off your printer.
Please turn off your router. If your router doesn’t have an on/off switch, please unplug the power cord from the router.
After waiting a full 60 seconds please turn on your router (or plug it back in).
After the router has completed its startup routine please turn on your printer.
After the printer has completed its startup routine, please test the scan to email feature. If it works there no need to continue with any further trouble shooting steps.
Please set a manual IP address and manual DNS servers for the printer. I have included a link to another post with the steps, including screen shots on how to do this. Don’t worry that the screen shots show a Officejet 8600 printer, the steps are the same.
Please test the scan to email feature. If it works there is no need to continue with any further trouble shooting steps.
Please call HP’s Cloud Services at 1-855-785-2777 if you live in the USA/Canada region. If you live outside the USA/Canada region please click here to find the Technical Support number for your country/region.

Scanning with an Officejet 6700 Premium

Hi!
I'm having trouble scanning documents.
My laptop is a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.10.1 (Yosemite).
The printer is an Officejet 6700 Premium e-All-in-One. It is connented via WiFi -- the Printers & Scanners section of System Preferences lists it as HP Officejet 6700-AirPrint.
I *can* print documents, so the setup is not entirely messed up...
The printer makes copies, so the scanning hardware must be OK.
I downloaded and installed fresh drivers from the HP website.
I *can* scan documents by going to the printer's webpage, then to Scan > Webscan. This only works in Firefox, not in Chrome, and doesn't give me the option to select the are I'd like to scan. It's rather inconvenient.
What *doesn't* work:
-Webscan in the Chrome browser: the scanner makes some noise but I can't save the result.
-In Preview, File > Import from Scanner... is disabled. This used to work and was very convenient, but then broke somehow.
-HP Scan. It says "Preparing to scan..." for a couple of seconds then pops up an error message: "Scanner reported an error. HP Officejet 6700 is currently unavailable. Please check if it is turned on and connected, or try again later."
-"Scan to computer" from the printer. A popup appears on my computer screen:
"Scan failed. The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.hp.scanhandler.error error 2.)"
Any help would be greatly appreciated! It would be wonderful if we could get Preview's Import from Scanner... function to work.
Thanks,
b

Ha!
I fixed it.
Here's what I did:
-Run HP Uninstaller to remove... everything?
-Reboot the laptop.
-Do a factory reset on the printer, then re-enter the WiFi password.
-Download the driver (is that what it is?) from hp.com/support. I noticed that the file is called "HP Inkjet SW OSX Mavericks.pkg" even though my OS is called Yosemite.
-Install that, following all prompts. When I added the printer I picked"HP Officejet 6700" rather than "AirPrint" for"Use:"even though AirPrint would have been the default and the choice of "Auto Select". See attached screenshot.
-Go to Preview, menu File > Import from HP Officejet 6700... and test. Success!
Of course I don't know which of these things made the difference, but it worked for me.
Cheers,
b

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
Well, the package Description does say the Full Feature Software is available for XP -- but you have to install the software to be sure. Smiling.
Before you apply any changes to your computer, always create a Restore Point:

OS X 10.10 for Officejet 6700 Premium?

Is an OSX 10.10 (Yosemite) driver available yet for the HP Officejet 6700 Premium?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Assuming you are using a network connection, try unplugging your router for 30 seconds and plug it back.
Next restart your Mac and turn the printer Off and On again, then check for any difference.
If that doesn't help, try resetting the printing system and check again:
*Be aware that resetting the printer system will remove any existing print queue and reset any customized driver settings.
Click the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences .
Select Printers & Scanners.
Right-click (or Ctrl + click) your product in the Printers list in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system .
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type your user Name and Password .
Click OK . The printing system resets.
Now click the plus sign and try adding the printer.

Scanner not working hp officejet 6700

I have an Officejet 6700 Premium Printer.. When I hit scan to computer, it says no computer found. I connected the printer to the computer with a USB cable and hit scan but window says waiting for scanner.. Printer works wirelessly w/ computer but is sporadic and sometimes have to restart printer to get it to connect wirelessly to computer.. tried to download software from hp but cant open the dmg file in my download file. Error message says Officejet series 6700 image not recognized.

Hello ramblindan,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with scanning to the computer.
I also see that you had the printer connected on a wireless network and then attempted to scan over USB. When the connection is changed from wireless to USB without adjusting the software, this can cause communication issues.
I have a few steps that we can run through to troubleshoot the issue.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
I also suggest that we remove the usb cable from the printer and the computer and leave it off.
Please click on the following link that troubleshoots when the Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
If this does not resolve the issue, please respond with which Operating System you are running.
Which Windows Operating System am I running?

OfficeJet 6700 Premium Problems after Windows 8.1 update

My Officejet 6700 Premium worked great wirelessly under Windows 7 to print & Scan. Since updating to Windows 8.1, I can print to the printer wirelessly (having set it up manually from the printer), but the software won't load and I can't scan. Setting up a network connection using downloaded HP software fails (it just says it failed, no error message), and trying to download the entire software package (which includes scan, which I need), also fails during step 1 of 4. I tried uninstalling all HP software first, but the same errors persist. I don't want to mess things up further (as I said, I'm able to print wirelessly now), but I really want to be able to scan to the computer. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello mfrank1,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some printing issues since you upgraded to Windows 8.1.
I do have a few troubleshooting steps that we can try to resolve this issue.
I first suggest that we uninstall the old software and drivers. I realize that you have already attempted to do this but I still would like to try it again but this time using the following document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
When you stated that you have the printer connected with a direct connection using wireless, is this with a Bluetooth connection? Do you have a Router that you are going through?
Once the software is uninstalled, please restart the computer. Please disable any firewalls or anti virus protection before starting the next step.
When the computer is back up and running, please click on the following link for the HP Officejet Full Feature Software and Driver.
Please save the download to the Desktop of the computer so that it creates it's own Icon. Double click on the new Icon and follow the instructions.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

Mac can not connect to OfficeJet 6700 while windows machine can ...

Hello all.
I have an HP Officejet 6700 for more than a year. It is connected to a wireless network (Netgesr wireless router), both Mac an Windows PC printing and scanning successfully until yesterday…
Since yesterday the Mac cannot print or scan, while windows machine still works fine …
Mac OS version is 10.9.4
I changes the printer from DHCP to static IP, I deleted the printer from the Mac and installed it again from the HP site but at the HP Utility I get stuck in the Add Officejet 6700 (08B0D2) Bonjour Multifunction with an “Unable to communicate with the printer at this time” error message.
Again all of this while windows machines communicate and work perfectly fine.
Any idea?

Hi @AmitFish,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are not able to connect your HP Officejet 6700 Premium to your Mac, everything was working fine and all of a sudden you get a communication error.
I would first like you to make sure you have installed all Mac updates, please run the updates and let me know if this helped?
If not, please complete the steps listed here: Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection, I know you have previously set a Static IP, please continue and let me know the outcome.
I will watch for your reply.

HP Officejet 6700 Premium

Hi,
I need advice regarding what to do so I again can scan on my printer.
I have no clue why I suddenly cannot scan. The message on the printer is:
Windows: Open Hp Printer software, select Scanner Actions, and then select Manage Scan to Computer.
I did not ever change any settings which is the reason why I dont understand what has happened nor do I understand exactly WHERE I am supposed to locate HP Printer software so I can select Scanner Actions
I should mention my computer is a HP Sleekbook with Windows 8.1 installed.
Hopefully somebody can tell me what to do.
Thanks

Hi cath9999,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand that, you cannot scan with your HP Officejet 6700 premium to a Windows 8.1 PC. I am happy to help you with this scanning issue! I have a few questions for you:
How is the printer connected? Wireless, Ethernet, or USB?
Can you make copies with the printer?
Is the power cable 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.
In the meantime, please try our HP Print and Scan Doctor, and let me know what happens.
Thank you for posting, and have a great day!

Feeder on Officejet 6700 Premium won't take pages

I am trying to fax multiple pages and I can't get the fax to take the pages. It just keeps telling me to place the original in the automatic document feeder. When I do this I hear the doorbell sound that says the papers are in place, but the printer is not recognizing that the papers are in place. I have opened the lid and turned off and on the printer thinking may need to be reset, but to no avail. I can fax from the scanner glass, but not from the feeder. Someone help me figure out what's wrong with my printer. Thanks in advance!

Officejet 6700 Premium says color cartridge is depleted and won't print at all

My printer is only 5-6 months old, and refuses to print because it says the Yellow cartridge is depleted. I know it has not dried up and that it is still printing fine because I signed up for an app that prints out recipes every weekday (in color) and the page printed just this morning looked perfectly fine - the yellow showed up totally normal. The estimated ink level for the yellow cartridge does say that it is depleted, but how can that be when I have proof (from this morning's printout) that I still have yellow ink? And, according to the manual, the printer will still print if one of the color cartridges is depleted, as long as the black is not depleted. The black is only half-used, so why is the manual giving false information and my printer still refuses to print anything? Very frustrated....

Hey BoydJones, I see you are having an issue with your Officejet 6700 Premium and have a few questions. There are 2 major types of ink systems for inkjet model printers: IPH (integrated printhead) and IIC (individual ink cartridges). Many older model printers used the IPH style cartridge system: Tri-Color and Black. Most newer printers use the IIC system, but not all. There was a reason for the paradigm shift in the ink systems. The tri-color cartridge contained all 3 colors used in color printing: Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow. If any one of the 3 ran out, then you had to replace the cartridge no matter how much of the other 2 remain in the cartridge. In the IIC system one can change only the individual color that is out. As to the reason your color is draining from what appears to be little color usage: The printer uses ink in many ways. Ink is used when cleaning the printhead to ensure proper performance in print jobs, a small amount of color ink is placed below black ink to ensure a full rich black color and a long lasting printout, and ink is used to perform other preventative maintenance in the printer. For more information on how ink is used in HP printers please click here. The reason one has to change the cartridge in the IIC style ink system is to prevent damage to the printhead of the unit by ink drying in the ports of the printhead. The printhead in the 6700 premium is a stationary/permanent printhead and any damage of this nature could prevent the unit from printing at all. In the 2 cartridge, IPH, system the printhead is contained with the cartridge and replaced with each cartridge change. Thus, if one runs out of color and waits to replace the cartridge there will not be an issue of dried ink in the ports as the printhead is changed with the cartridge. I hope this helps to explain and clarify. As well, I saw your post and forwarded it to the right people for their review. You should hear back from someone shortly via private message on this Forum.

HP Officejet 6700 Premium - Missing or Failed Printhead Error Message

Can anyone help me troubleshoot the error message for an HP Officejet 6700 Premium Printer:Missing or failed printhead. The printhead appears to be missing, not detected, or incorrectly installed.This error message popped up in the middle of printing. I looked online and the only troubleshooting support they provided was to turn the printer off, unplug for 15 seconds, and turn back on. I did that 3 times now, and it has not solved the problem. Has anyone else had this error message and been able to resolve it, or will I just need to buy a new printer? I would appreciate any advice. Thank you.

Two months have gone by, and no feedback from HP whatsoever. It's clear that they are completely aware that there is a widespread defect on this model, and they have no plans to address it. I'm sure they weighed their options, whether it was in their best financial interest to either address the problem & provide support, or to sweep it under the rug & lose customers like ourselves. It looks like, in this case, we're expendable. I couldn't go too long without a printer, and since the definition of "insanity" is doing the same thing over & over while expecting a better result, I opted to choose a different brand. About 6 weeks ago, I chose an Epson WorkForce WF-7510 wide-format all-in-one. It retailed at $250, but is usually on-sale for a little over $200. It has been fantastic. It is light-years quieter & smoother running than HP 6700, has a very innovative feeder tray that opens & closes (and folds nearly flat in the closed position), and performs fantastically. It runs, looks, & feels far more substantial than the last two HP's we've owned. Claims that it's of office-grade quality isn't just fluffing / lip-service as it was with the 6700. It really is a professional-grade product. I'm sorry that it didn't work out with HP. They've lost a customer. I'm sure that we're far from the only ones. Based on this experience, and that HP is trying to avoid addressing what is obviously an epidemic problem for this model, I've learned not to give them anymore of our business.
