OfficeJet J4550 All-In-One not scanning or copying; only prints from certain sites

I have a HP Pavillion Slimline 400 and my will not scan or copy, and only prints from certain sites. I have uninstalled and installed the software driver numerous times and still get a "scanner not working" message. I have also unplugged and turned off and replugged in the USB and the power cords several times. Currently, I have uninstalled the printer software, so I have no recognizable printer on my PC. Help!!

Hello bran1288,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with scanning and printing from a select few sites.
I have a few steps that we can try to troubleshoot this 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.
As for printing from web pages, please make sure that you have your firewall or anti virus settings turned down as well as the Pop-up blocker disabled. If this does not resolve the issue, maybe try another web browser such as Mozilla fire fox or Google Chrome.
As for the scanning issue, so I can better assist you, please respond with which Operating System you are running:
Which Windows Operating System am I running?
Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
Please write me back when you have time and I will be happy to help.
Cheers,

HP 2050 deskjet all in one -- will scan but won't print from this computer

My deskjet 2050 will scan from both of my macbook computers, but will only print from one. It gives an "on hold" message whenever I print from this computer. Then I hit "resume" and it says "nothing is being held." I have already downloaded and re-installed the driver, and it didn't make any difference.
It prints fine from the other computer, but it's a pain to have that limitation.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Hello @CazzoInMano , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you're running into print issues. I would like to help with that!
What version of mac are you using?
I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
I would also suggest running your Apple updates: OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
After the updates, I would recommend reinstalling the HP Deskjet 2050 All-in-One Printer.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

How to download repair of "missing WIA" for officejet J4550 All in one printer

officejet J4550, all in one
Problem: message states "missing WIA"
I'm missing my installation disk and would like to download the solution to repair/update/install the WIA.
how to download repair of "missing WIA" for officejet J4550 All in one printer

HI knewsomga,
WIA is Windows Image Acquisition, it is a proprietary Microsoft driver model and application programming interface (API) for Microsoft Windows Me and later Windows operating systems that enables graphics software to communicate with imaging hardware such as scanners, digital cameras and Digital Video-equipment. - Source
Please follow the instructions below.
Please hold down the windows flag key and the R to open the Run box.
Type services.msc and press Enter
Locate Windows Image Acquisition (WIA)
Right click and open Properties
Stop the service from the General tab and then Start it again
Verify that the Startup type is set to Automatic rather then manual
Also, look for 'Shell Hardware Detection' in the list of services. If it is not enabled/started, make sure to enable/start the service, and make sure the Startup Type set as Automatically from its properties.
Locate the 'Remote Procedure Call (RPC)' in the list of services. If it is not enabled/started, make sure to enable/start the service, and make sure the Startup Type set as Automatically as well.
If the issue persist, the HP Print and Scan Dr might help, otherwise I suggest contacting Microsoft.
Click here to download and run the utility > HP Print and Scan Doctor
I hope this helps.

HP Officejet J4550 All-in-one printer Unable to print pages/photos from system request !

I have an HP Officejet J4550 All-in-one printer that I had set p when I bought my new Acer system with Windows 7 installed and had no problem from the beginning to set-up the installation and have it running as My Default printer and has worked fine up until now ; when all of a sudden the system ;when I go to print a page/photo brings up the set-up - shows the printer as Default and then when I run PRINT...there is No page/photo printed out ? I have tried to run the Diagonistic software and shows the printer as Default and No problems and yet still delivers No Print out ? My system has had All up-dates automatically installed up till this point ...So I not being a Techie ,do not know what or where to look for help to resolve the issue next ? Anyone able to tell me what to look for to do or how to resolve the issue or do I need to just Un-install the printer and Re-set it up again ?? I have tried to look at all places on HP ;but it does not even show my older HP Officejet -J4550 - All-in One Printer ? Just keeps referring to HP Officejet -4550 ? Loooking for any answers ! Thank Yopu ,JS

Hi jspin3,
I'd like to help. For now, I would hold off on the uninstall and reinstall. Can you answer some questions?
Is the printer connected by USB, Ethernet or wireless?
Do you get any error messages?
Does a blank page come out or do no pages come out when you try to print from the computer?
If you put a document face down on the scanner glass, are you able to make a photocopy?
Can you estimate the ink levels, in percent full for each cartridge, by looking at the printer ink gauge? Click Here
If you print a Self Test Report, do all of the colors print?
Also, remember a click on the Kudos star to the left is a quick "Thanks" for a helpful post.

Can't get HP Officejet J6450 All-in-One to scan or print

Hello!
I have an HP Officejet J6450 All-in-One which I would like to use with my Macbook Pro running OS X 10.6.4. I would prefer a wireless setup. It printed wirelessly up until I tried installing the HP Full Feature Software & Drivers from their website (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-74787-1 &lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=219&product=3635399&sw_lang=)and subsequently deleted them once I realized it did not work. I also did not want to install a bulky and unnecessary set of programs that I do not need.
I went to the System Preferences/Print & Fax and deleted the HP printers that had been added, then I went to Applications/HewlettPackard and clicked on HP uninstall, and uninstalled the program. Since I have experience with Windows (lol), I decided to take the safe route and make sure my HD & permissions had not been corrupted. I put in my OS X install disk that came with my Macbook Pro, rebooted to the disk, went to Disk Utility and Repaired the Permissions (it only had one that it could not fix), repaired the HD (it found a few issues), and then went one more round of Repair Permissions and then HD just to be sure. I rebooted to the HD and ejected the boot disk. I connected the printer via the USB cable.
Then I found this: (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&softwareitem=mp-7 4787-1&os=219&product=3635399&sw_lang=&docname=c01910186) It says on there that Snow Leopard should have everything I need to scan and print with this printer. However, upon trying the three methods, none worked. Here are the results:
Method One: I get to step 2, select Import from Scanner, and nothing happens. The list that is supposed to be displayed in step 3 never comes.
Method Two: I open the Image Capture app in step 1, but when it comes up, it says "No camera or scanner connected."
Method Three: I get the Print & Fax printer browser opened as in step 3, but cannot move on to step 4 because there is no scan tab.
What can I do to get this to work? I tried contacting HP online chat, but they told me they do not offer support to Mac users on there. I sent them an email through their contact page but you know how that will probably go...
I'm an intermediate computer user, although I'm relatively new to Mac, so be easy on me! I'm scared to break this laptop I've fallen in love with. Many thanks to you all in advance, and my apologies if this has already been answered elsewhere - I was unable to find anything with this particular HP model and situation. I noticed HP does not seem very Mac-friendly!

Is this scanning from the PC and/or from the printer? Did it ever scan previously? Is this connected by USB/wired/wireless?
As far as the software, it would be a good idea to update your software, and I would recommend downloading the latest software at this location:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=1153494&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us
Just pick the right operating system, and get the download and run it. That may fix the scanning issue you are having.

My HP 8600 all in one not scanning on IMac

Officejet J4550 All-in-One Software and Drivers not supported in Windows 7

Windows 7 (automatic) and I (manual download from HP site) tried to install the printer driver software (64 bit system) and got an error software not supported. Went to the windows update site and the Officejet 4500 series was not listed. Is there any solution to this problem?

Run the install .exe file in compatibility mode for Vista SP2. Can someone explain to me how to do this?

7520 All In One not scanning from computer

I have a 7520 all in one printer. I can scan from the printer to my computer with no problems, I can print from my computer with no problems. I have always been able to control scanning from my computer when I put a picture on the printer without any issues. The HP Photosmart icon on my desktop is there but I cannot open it. I've tried opening it from the Start Menu and I still can't open it. Now I've tried going to the HP Solutions Center and when I click on that it says it cannot run b/c installation is not complete. (I've had this printer for a almost a year and this just happened out of the blue.)
I uninstalled the printer then reinstalled it again. I unplugged my printer and my wireless router and retstarted both, all to no avail. My software is updated and I've run Scan Doctor and everything is in working order.
I simply cannot open HP Photosmart from my computer.

Hi @FinnGirl47,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you cannot scan from the computer with your HP Photosmart 7520, and I am happy to help!
For further assistance, I will need to know: If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos, also if the printer is able to make copies.
In the meantime, please try going through this scanning guide, A 'No Computer Detected' or 'Connection Error' Message Displays during Scanning.

HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2545 all in one not "scanning" properly

I just received my printer today - HP Deskjet Ink advantage 2545. I was so psyched to use the scanner, and when I finally did, I learned that this printer/ scanneer doesn't really scan docs or pictures properly - parts of the scanned docs are covered in black (see sample below). I tried several times, even cleaned the glass (even if it's new, fresh out of the box) but the same thing keeps on happening. Is this printer defective? should I return it to?

Hi @VitoCLN,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see your HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2545 is not scanning properly, I appreciate the screenshot.
I would like you to perform a Hard Reset on the 2545 and retry the scan:
1. Unplug all cables and memory cards from the printer. Unplug the power cord, directly from the back of the printer while the printer is still turned on.
2. Unplug the other end of the cord from the power source.
3. If there is a power module on the power cord, disconnect one end and reconnect it.
4. After 60 seconds, plug the cord directly into a wall outlet (not a surge protector or battery backup as they can cause the printer to lose basic functionality over time).
5. Plug the power cord into the back of the printer.
6. The printer should automatically power back up. If it doesn't, turn it on with the power button.
7. Try making a photocopy (if your printer is an all-in-on printer) before connecting any other cables to the printer.
8. Connect any other needed cables to the printer.
Now continue here with Solution One only: Vertical Bands, Lines, or Streaks in Copies, Faxes, or Scans
Were you able to complete the scan successfully?
I hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks,

HP Officejet 5610 All-in-One not printing true colours

The HP help people have finally given up on trying to make my Mac see the Color Options tab in their print software with my set-up. They now say, "It's an Apple problem". If I could see these settings I'd be able to adjust the HP defaults for print-outs (by saturation, brightness, density, hue, contrast, etc) once and for all so I'd get closer to what I see on screen printed out in front of me. Without them I have to change everything on a trial and error basis each time in Photoshop. I've read about it in the HP manual and seen it work on another (cheaper) HP printer on a similar Intel iMac but with the All-in-One I just get the screen saying "No User Selectable Settings" - which HP say should not be the case. Anyone have any ideas? This screen seems to be vital - unless of course there's a better way of synchronising the perfect image I see on screen with what I get out of this printer?

I have seen this case with hp printers on the intel macs as went the intel macs came out hp's driver release was set for June as that is when the intel macs were suppose to be released i know the new software version 7.9 which is universal fixes all of these issues on the intel based macs.
Just make sure you run the hp uninstaller first HD/Applications/Hewlett Packard
Here is the link for the lates driver

Officejet J5750 All in One Not Printing

The printer has now stopped all together, just flashes lights. Tried the printer tool box. Printed a beautiful diagnostic page, but got the stoppage and flashing lights on the test page. Turned off and on and got a replace cartridge message. Did that. Got the allignment message. Will not allign, goes to flashing lights. Off and on will not clear it because everytime it comes back on it tries to allign and it won't.

The document here may help resolve black not printing on your Officejet 4620. Be sure to check the vents, if they are blocked the printer will appear to be running out of ink early in the cartridge life.
If the troubleshooting steps there do not resolve the issue I sould suggest you contact HP, 1-800-HPINVENt if you are in the US or see the document here for elsewhere. They may be able to help resolve the issue even if the printer is not in warranty as described in this post.

Photosmart all in one - not scanning to PDF

Our photosmart premium all in one fax, scanner printer no longer scans to PDF files.
It prints ok and we can scan to photo directly from the scanner to USB and from / to the PC.
It worked perfectly well before, then started to stop several pages into a multipage scan. Then halfway through 1st page - now won't scan at al to PDF.
Any ideas? We have uninstalled and re-installed several times - no success.

HP3310 Photosmart All-in-one not scanning

I am using OS X 10.9.5 on my Apple Macbook Pro. Whilst I can print from my laptop, I cannot scan as I used to be able to.
First of all I googled and followed the links to the HP website where I have found lots of articles - support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04510394. Here it seemed to suggest that I had to delete the printer and then readd it. So I went to the Apple/System Preferences/Printers and scanners, added my printer with the ip address, chose the IPP portico and chose the HOP Photsmart 3300 series. I then get the message "Unable to verity the printer on your network - Unable to connect to ‘192.168.1.73’ due to an error. Would you still like to create the printer?"
So I did but then I was only presented with a "Printer and Scanners" window like in step 2 without the scanners tab this time.
I am told that Apple includes the print drivers in its software updates so I cannot download the latest drivers.
I have checked the articles on this site.
Can I no longer use any function of my HP3310 except the print function?
Or can anyone recommend something that I can do to be able to use the scanner again?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for trying to help.
I have tried using Preview and also Image capture applications but neither can see the device, The Printer is connected to my wireless network.

HP Envy 4500 all in one wont scan or copy

Hi all. I have a 4 month old Envy 4500 all in one printer & it has stopped scanning &/or copying.
It wil print from any of the laptops on the network but will not scan a document or copy either from the desktop icon or directly from the panel on the printer.
I've tried everything, uninstalling & re installing from CD rom, I've run the Scan & copy driver doctor & that says there's a problem with the driver, tells me to unplug the pirnter & restart computer, done all that & still nothing.
When you try to scan the printer draws the paper in & then the screen just sits for hours with the progress bar on "scanning" or "copying" & nothing happens. If you cancel the job (on pc or printer panel) even the "cancelling" sticks on the screen for hours, the only way to clear it is to shut down printer & restart, but still it doesnt fix it.
I think there's a fault with the arm thing that moves across the screen & copies/scans the document on the glass.
Its under warranty but I've tried everything for 3-4 days now & getting nowhere
Someone please help
BTW. My wife laptop was on windows 8.1 & I was on Windows Vista but I have just changed to new laptop in last 24hrs with also Windows 8.1 but the problem started well before I changed my laptop from Vista AND exactly the same symptoms happen from my wifes pc with Windows 8.1.

Ok thanks for all of this. I tried it all & still no joy.
I do think (as I have all along that it is a hardware fault)
I will speak to Amazon as I cannot afford to be without a printer whilst it goes off for repair
UPDATE: Amazon customer service is UNBELIEVABLE!! They're just sending a new printer out & once I get it I just need to send old one back. Love Amazon!
