Photosmart 7525 won't scan to mac...HELP!

I recently bought an iMac (OSX 10.9.4) and an HP Photosmart 7525 e-all-in-one printer. The print and fax work fine, but I cannot scan to my computer.
I've installed the HP software from the HP download site, but I still get a message on the printer that says "No computer is connected" How do I fix this??
This question was solved.

Hi @mfspectrum,
I see by your post that you are unable to scan. I can help you with this.
Enable the scan to computer settings. A 'No Computer Detected' or 'Connection Error' Message Displays during Scanning. Go to Solution two: Check the Scan to Computer setting, Step one: Check the Scan to Computer setting.
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. The Airprint driver might be installed instead of the Printer's driver. (usually defaults to Airprint)
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen should show the name.
If the printer name shows Airprint then that is the Apple drivers, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
Try and scan again.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Compatibility of using Photosmart 7510 printer with a Photosmart 7525 printer from the same computer

Before installing, registering, and setting up my new HP Photosmart 7525 I need to know whether I can keep using my 2 year old HP Photosmart 7510 and its software on my computer and whether this would cause a conflict. My 2 year old Photosmart 7510 works fine and I want to use the Photosmart 7510 and the Photosmart 7525 both from the same computer and network without conflict. And if a conflict would be probable, is it necessary to remove the Photosmart 7510 software before installing the software/drivers for the Photosmart 7525?

Hi,
You can install more than 1 printer to your computer. They will share few folders including HP Photo Creations product but they should live harmony together.
Regards.

HP Photosmart 7525 e wakes up from sleep on its own hourly.

My Hp Photosmart 7525 wakes up from sleep mode approx. every hour. It is set up as wireless and usb. is there some setting or update that I need to apply to fix this problem?

Hi DanHannon, Welcome to the HP Forums! I understand that your printer is waking up from sleep on its own hourly. I would try the following: 1.) Update the firmware. Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates. 2.) Plug the printer's power cable directly into the wall outlet, not a surge protector. Hope this information helps, and have a great day.

Efax photosmart 7525. How is it done

We purchased a photosmart 7525 from HSN. We received it in January 2014 but was waiting for the ink to run out on our old hp printer. Well we started using the new 7525 in the middle of May 2014 . Now the story behind this printer was my wife saw an HP on HSN and the one feature we were looking for was E fax. So we purchase it only to get a notice from HSN that it was no longer available. So some time passes and the 7525 comes up for sale thinking that this was the same printer. But now we find out after the fact the this printer doesn't support E fax. My question is are there any free Efax services that will work with our printer. We only send 1 or 2 fax a month and would only need to send them.
Can any one help.

Hello,
The below document should provide info on efax and supported printer model. Unfortunately this model is not in supported list. Sorry about that.

PhotoSmart 7525 printer/Can't get a code to set-up eprint

When I try to get a code to setup eprint, I get a message saying I need to upgrade. When I accept terms and tell it to automatically update, I get an error message saying there is no internet connection.
When I run a report, it says the internet is connected.

HI ButterflyWV,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you are getting a connection error message when trying to enable the web services of your Photosmart 7525 printer.
Please set a manual IP address and manual DNS servers for the printer. I have included a link to another post that has the steps, with screen shots, on how to do this. Please don’t fret that the screen shots are a Photosmart 7510 printer, the steps are the same.
Have a good weekend.

Things I've done: Restarted the laptopReset the printing systemRepaired the disk permisssion in disk utilityPrinted wireless network test results The printer is connected to the internet wirelessly and can see all available wireless networks, so I know that's not the issue.

Hi , Welcome back to the HP Support Forums! I see you are not able to print to your HP Photosmart 7525, because your Mac running the Yosemite 10.10 Operating system is not seeing the wireless printer. I see you have done a few things with no success. Let's go ahead and try a different approach although some steps may need to be repeated please do ALL in order: Scrub/ Uninstall • Open the Applications folder > HP or Hewlett Packard folder > HP Uninstaller
• Click continue, click on one of the printers in the list.
• * Only do this step if you do not have any other HP Printers. Hold down Control, Option and Command, While holding the three buttons down,
• Click uninstall. Reset Printing System 1. Click the Apple icon ( ), and then click System Preferences.2. In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.3. Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…4. Click OK to confirm the reset.5. Type the correct Name and Password.6. Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.. Repair Disk Permissions 1.On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.2.Double-click Disk Utility.3.Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").4.Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.5.Once the repair is complete, restart the computer.Restart the printer. Now you can download and install the printer software and install it.

HP Photosmart 7525 All-in-one printer. Windows 7 software.
Is there a way to choose to print text in black only, even though there may be color on the page? When I choose to print from Microsoft Word, it does not give me an option, and I can't find reference anywhere in instruction manuals. Can someone help me please?

Hi,
The are 3 options for Grayscale/Greyscale:
None (or Off): print in colors (including black )
High Quality grayscale: mixing all colors to make black & white

You can set one option as default and change each print job to meet your need. Please use the following steps to set default:
Double click printer icon on desktop,
Click Advanced in Paper/Quality tab
Select the one you want (above list)
Click Apply/Ok to get out.

Hp photosmart 7525 paper width guide became loose. How can I put it back on track?

While adjusting my paper width guide it became loose. I have tried everything to reattach it. One part slides into its track, but the front part refuses to stay where it should. How can I put it back on track?

Hello @Pearlb12,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! I see the Paper Width Guide is loose on your HP Photosmart 7525 and you would like to put it back on the track.
I suggest contacting our technical support at 800-474-6836, as it is the hardware, you may need the piece replaced or printer. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

Printhead / ink issues with 5-month-old Photosmart 7525 printer

It seems that my HP printer "bad luck" has not changed -- at all! After having lots of issues (and not being able to resolve them with a Photosmart 6515 this summer), I bought a Photosmart 7525 in July.
I do not print photos or color ink a lot, but when I do, I need for the color and quality to be very good. But it seems that I cannot rely on my HP printer to do that for me. I end up spending hours of time just TRYING to get something to print. I end up wasting a lot of ink and paper, but usually still have a less-than-satisfactory result -- if I'm able to get anything to print at all!
Two weeks ago, my daughter needed pictures printed for a school project. The pictures started to, print, but then it looked like some of the ink colors were running out. However, the ink status said the ink cartridges were fine! I replaced several of the ink cartridges anyway, but still the photos WOULD NOT print out correctly. I ended up having to save the photos to a thumb drive and take them to a drug store to get them printed for her project. After that, the printer would not even print BLACK ink!
However, the next day, the printer started printing color again - mysteriously.
Yesterday, I had some more photos to print. I had the same issue. The first photo printed fine, but after that, only the first third of the photos would print -- the rest were missing part of the other colors. My printer did not show any low ink -- at all. I had all "genuine" ink cartridges, too! I've never used anything except HP ink.
I am beyond discouraged! I actually talked to an HP rep at Best Buy yesterday, who recommended an HP Envy printer, but it is a tri-color cartridge. He said the problems with 7520 series were because of the way the printhead is designed (really)!
So I'm ready to just buy a B/W laser printer and give up on ink jets. I wish I could get by without even having a printer at home, but now the schools expect us to print out everything at home these days that they send us via e-mail. Since I end up having to go elsewhere to print photos anyway, maybe I just need to forget about printing photos at home entirely.
So I will be returning my printer. If anyone has a suggestion on what to get in its place, please let me know. The 7525 was almost $150, so it was not a cheap printer.

Thanks for your help RnrMusicMan, but I've already returned the printer to Costco, and they did refund my money.
The printer was only five months old. This is the third Photo"smart" printer I've had major issues with in less than four years. I guess I'm not very smart to keep trying -- or hoping for a different result.
Unfortunately, I still have a bunch of 564 ink cartridges that I can't use -- some I opened trying to get this printer to work, and some unopened.
I bought an HP Envy printer on Sunday from Costco that takes the 61 XL cartridges, but I took it back yesterday without even opening the box. My spouse told me I was crazy for even thinking about trying again. And with a tri-color cartridge, it will just be a problem with one color running out.
So for now, I'll just use our old Kodak printer or plan a little further ahead and have the photos printed outside. Every time I have a project to print, my HP printer does not print for me. I spend hours of time, waste lots of ink, paper and money, and still end up having to go elsewhere to get them printed. So, I just need to do that and forget about printing them from home!
The HP rep that was at Best Buy suggested for me to return the unopened ink to Wal-Mart for in-store credit. I tried to return two yesterday, but that didn't work. They only exchange ink cartridges, not return them. So, now I'm probably on some list with them, too!
So thanks for offering to help, but I'm done with trying to make an HP printer work for me at home.

My iPhone cannot find my AirPrint printer HP Photosmart 7525. What do I do?

My iPhone and iPad cannot find any AirPrint Printers. MY HYP Photosmart 7525 is AirPrint compatible, what can I do?

Hey kennethfrommascoutah,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Since you are having trouble using AirPrint follow this section of the article.
About AirPrint
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
If you're unable to print
Check these things if you are unable to print, or if you see the message "No AirPrint Printers Found."
Make sure your printer has paper, and enough ink or toner installed.
Make sure your printer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iOS device.
Make sure your printer has power and is turned on. Try turning your printer off and then back on again to see if it resolves your issue.
Check to see if your printer has any error lights or indicators displayed on the printer's control panel. Check the documentation that came with your printer to clear any errors displayed.
Check with your printer's manufacturer to see if any firmware updates are available for your printer. Check your printer's documentation or contact the printer vendor for more information. A firmware update may be available, even if you just bought your printer.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Fax from computer to photosmart 7525 gets cancelled after spooling

I can fax directly from printer, but when I use the HP software or print function on the computer to set up fax and send, the progress goes from spooling to cancelled without any error notices. I have a Dell XPS 8500 running 8.1 and Photosmart 7525 connected by USB and wirelessly. They communicate just fine with the scan and print functions. Both are current on updates using the check for updates utility. I have a dedicated Voip phone line from Comcast and ther most current modem that I have slowed through the fax settings. I've spent hours reading forums on HP and Microsoft searching for exactly this issue. Please help

Hi @xskilledtrades
The truth is, I don't know what is causing the fax from computer function to fail. I understand from your description that the fax is cancelling after spooling, but that you can print and scan just fine as well as fax directly from the printer. I suspect the issue has something to do with the driver, thus I suggest we remove the driver and reload it.
Please use the following steps to delete the printer/fax from device and printers, and the driver from the server properties.
1. In the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder
2. Choose ‘Print server properties’.
Win XP – With no printer selected, click ‘File’ then ‘Server Properties’.
Windows Vista – With no printer selected, press ‘Alt’ then click ‘File’ then ‘Server Properties’.
Windows 7/8 and 8.1 – Select any printer in the ‘Devices and Printers’ folder and click ‘Print Server properties’ above.
3. Click on the ‘Drivers’ tab at the top of ‘Print server properties’ window
4. Choose the printer you want to uninstall and click ‘Remove’
5. Choose 'Remove driver only'
6. The next screen will give a warning, letting you know that deleting the driver package will remove it from the system. Click ‘Yes’ to say that you are sure you want to do this.
If documents are stuck in the print spooler, you may see an error, cancel any documents pending in the print queue, or try restarting the print spooler, then try to remove the driver from ‘Print server properties’ again. If it still won’t remove the package, restarting the computer and the printer should resolve this ‘in use’ error and allow the driver to be removed.
If the you continue to get an 'in use' message follow the steps in the document here; The Specified Printer Driver is Currently in Use
After the driver is removed, open Start > All Programs > HP folder > Printer folder > HP Setup and Software (or the printer icon).
The Setup and software screen will open and you can click on Connect a new printer.
Thanks, I look forward to hearing back from you.

Hi @hannabanna
I would like to help you print to your 7525. Let's first address the tray app error, then we can focus on the printer offline message.
The tray app error seems to be stemming from the older software you have uninstalled, it appears something did not fully uninstall. Please complete the following steps.

Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the run box, type %temp%
Delete all files and folders from the temp folder. Choose skip if any pop ups appear saying any of the files could not be deleted
Download the software and choose to save as, save to desktop > HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One Printer
After the software downloads and extracts, open the temp folder again, use the instructions from step 1.
Look for, and open the folder starting with 7z (Example: 7zS2356)
Open folder Util
Open folder CCC
If you have an HP computer run the L3uninstall.exe. If you have anon-HP computer run the L4uninstall.exe
When the uninstall has completed restart the computer
Follow these steps to reset the registry settings and options for Windows Installer.
Hold down the Windows Logo key on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the run box
