Photosmart 3210 All in One - can't scan

I have uninstalled and reinstalled my Photosmart 3210 All in One printer a few times in the last month and a half. It hasn't solved not being able to scan. I have to use Microsoft Paint to do that. It keeps telling me the Digital Imaging monitor has been deleted or moved. It also can't find HP Twain Scan. I need help. the process listed earlier did not work. When I right clicked on HP Digital Imaging Monitor and Run as administrator, it said it was no longer in that location.

Hi ruthmarq,
I have done some research and I have located a document that deals with when Scanning Stops at the Preview Screen when the Printer is Connected to the Windows Computer with a US.... This document also has the link to the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
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.

HP Photosmart C3180 All-In-One will not scan

I did a clean install of Snow Leopard on my iMac. At the end, it prompted me to download updated drivers for my printer/scanner/copier. I clicked "OK" and let it run.
I can print without any problems. But the machine will no longer scan. My computer doesn't recognize there being any scanner installed, either. I have tried running other updates, including the HP drivers/software update released on Apple's site on Sept 21.
I have also tried running the drivers installation from HP's site for Snow Leopard.
Apple's and HP's support both say that the drivers are all built in to Snow Leopard, and to use Image Capture or Preview instead of the HP programs to do a scan.
In short, nothing's solving my problem.
Has anyone found any solutions to get your machine to scan again?

I think I found a solution, or a workaround at best.
I used OmniDisk Sweeper to remove ALL printer drivers/software from my machine. I then ran Software Update in OS X 10.6.1. It downloaded and installed the drivers for Snow Leopard.
I can now scan in Image Capture, and saves the file as a JPEG. I still cannot scan via Adobe Acrobat Pro without it crashing Acrobat. I suppose I can bring files in as JPGs into Photoshop and save them out as PDFs until HP comes up with a real set of drivers and software suite that restores functionality to what it was before Snow Leopard came along.
Hope this helps other people struggling with HP and Snow Leopard for the time being.

HT1338 How do I get the Lion update for the HP Photosmart 3210 All in One Printer? The auto software update says none are available, while HP says one is available.

I just installed LION and no Power PC Apps work.
HP says there are updates for Lion from MAC APP store for the HP 3210 PhotoSmart All in Printer and provided instructions.
I followed these but no updates were visible or installed. Any idea why?
Is there a place where I can look at Apple for an update?
If no update is available, can anyone recommend a good flatbed scanner for under $400 that works with Lion?

Hi,
The drivers do available from Apple and your Mac may fails from getting them due to any connectivity or installed software issue.
First make sure you don't have any previous OS drivers installed:
Open Finder, then click Go > Computer and select the active volume of your OS.
(If have couple and not sure which one is correct, click the Apple icon > About This Mac.)
Open Library\Printers and move the HP folder to the trash.
Enter into PPDs\Contents\Resources, search for 3200 in that folder and move the results files.
Reboot your Mac, ensure the printer is turned on, in Ready state and directly connected to your Mac.
Enter Print & Scan, click the Plus sign and you shoud see your printer listed.. select it and click Install.
If no printers appears at all there is a connectivity issue.. ensure it is directly connected and not through any USB hub or adaptor, the cable is not longer than 2m length.. otherwise try a new USB cable.
If the printer appears but stil cannot locate drivers for yoru printer download and install the package below and then try adding the printer again:

Hp photosmart 3210 all-in-one - some colors not printing even after changing cartridges.

I recently had an issue while printing a document. the content was off colored and the error message said black was low. Changed the black cartridge and things just got worse from there. Still no black, cleaned the printheads, printed another test page and no longer had magenta or lt magenta. Replaced those as well. the only had yellow, magenta and lt. magenta. yellow was low as well, so now every cartridge has been changes.Tried to print document again and it printed in magenta and lt magenta. never have seen black again and the self test diagnostic page is printing in purple. What should be black showed up as purple with lines and yellow is a rainbow of mustard, magentas and purples. no other colors show up. WHAT IS GOING ON? have tried several times to align the printer but it always fails. Have cleaned the printheads several time and just get a mish-mash of colors (no black) and most of the time no writing. When I try to print in black only, I get nothing.
What can I do? It worked just fine prior to ink going out.

Did you get a resolution to your problem? The same has occured for me - only printing blues/yellows and greens. Was working fine until I replace the yellow cartridge and then it stopped printing reds.

HP Photosmart C3180 All In One Installation Problems

A while back I posted about problems with installing this printer, where the install cd v7.8.0 worked but the HP Set Up Assistant hung on the 2nd step. The software on the hp site for this printer (v7.9.1), did not work either, and froze mid install (couldn't even get to the set up assistant). HP support couldn't help me, repairing permissions didn't work, neither did resetting the printing system. I even tried updating cups and it didn't help either.
I found a way to get the printer to work by choosing HP Photosmart P1100 - Gimp-Print v5.0.0-beta2 in Printer Set Up Utility, but since I never completed the HP set up assistant, it came up every time I turned on the computer. But, I could still print.
Then one day I couldn't print, and when I went to Printer Set Up Utility, every driver I picked resulted in the "An error occured while trying to add the selected printer...server-error-service-unavailable", even the one that worked before (HP Photosmart P1100 - Gimp-Print v5.0.0-beta2)
What finally worked to get me back in the land of the printing was to do an archive and install of the OS and re-installing the latest OS update, then reinstalling the v7.9.1 software from the hp website. I have no idea how things got so messed up twice, but I thought I would share what finally worked just in case it helps someone else out there...
Mini Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1.42 GHz PowerPC G4

You are not alone.
I am having EXACTLY the same problem with my HP Photosmart 3210 All-in-One. Step two of the HP Setup Assistant stops me dead in my tracks. No printers are listed. Scan Utility just crashes upon opening. The System Profiler lists the printer in both the Printer section & the USB section. I installed the new HP (Universal) 7.9 dmg as an Update; worked fine until I tried to scan. It will do everything, except scan.
Most recently, I did a System Archive & Install (after many MANUAL* printer uninstalls & reinstalls of HP software....), then applied: MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.10PPC.dmg, (brings all up to date in one step).
And a fresh install of HP Universal 7.9.....no change. I did notice that one set of instructions (for installation) said not to have the printer connected until prompted by the software (which never happens). Another (most recent) said that the printer MUST be conected (and 'on') BEFORE beginning the software installation. Neither one worked. And Hp hasn't been able assist any further. If they come up with something, I will post.
Oh, I also tried installing only the Original software that came with the Mac & the 3210. Now that doesn't work either.
But I'm Still Hopeful,
Scott Smith
P.S. I am using a Powerbook G4....
*I have complete instructions on this process if you think it might help your situation.... (it removes all hp stuff & built-in Mac/HP driver stuff.)

My HP7280 all in one can't find my wireless router

My HP Photosmart C7280 all in one can't find my wireless router even after I enter my WEP key and ESSID. My other computer is wired into the printer and it works but not wireless. Can anyone help me?

Is the other computer wired with USB? if so that is fine. If it is wired with Ethernet, that is the source of the wireless problem.
What router? Oh, and don't use WEP, it is not in the least secure. I recommend changing your router settings to WPA, create your own password and then try to connect the printer.

How do I get my HP Photosmart C6280 All-In-One to scan?

I have updated to Mac OS 10.9 the driver for my HP Photosmart C6280 All-In-One, but the scanner function no longer works. The Apple update list shows the update was performed on October 30.
The printer does not show up in the list of printers as a "Bonjour" printer, as the instructions from HP's website indicate it should.

Hi there,
I understand you're having issues printing/scanning with your Photosmart C6280 since upgrading the 10.9 on your Mac. I would like to help you with this as best I can.
The reason your having issues is because the HP software you're using is not designed for the 10.9 operating system. The last full software package HP released for the Photosmart C6280 was for 10.6, so the best option at this point would be to use the in operating system drivers.
To get everything to work properly again, I'm going to link you to how to completely remove the HP software so you can use the Apple software as Sunshyn2005 has described in her post. Once you follow those steps to begin using the Apple software you may not know how to scan using the Apple software and you can learn 3 different ways to do so.
I hope this helps, have a great weekend!

HP Photosmart C4180 All In One ... won't scan at all

According to HP, I have all the latest HP Photosmart C4180 "All In One" Drivers Installed.
According to PackardBell (my pc) it is all installed to Windows 7 with a 32 Bit Operating System.
The problem I get is that I start the P/C ... Then I opened up the HP "Solution Centre" on the desktop ...
It tells me "Your HP Photosmart C4100 series is ready"
In the middle of the screen it says "Start An Activity" then there is a button that says
"Scan Document" ... I press on this button and it seems to do nothing!!! ...
Please Help?? ... gooseman57

Hi there @gooseman57 !
Thanks for contacting the HP Forums!
From what I can see from your post, sound like the scanning software for the HP Photosmart C4180 is not responding. I should be able to provide you with a resolution for your issue.
A good place to start with an issue such as this, is to restart the computer and the printer. I would suggest trying a photo copy on the printer to ensure the printer hardware is OK!
If you continue to experience this problem I would then suggest uninstalling and reinstalling the HP drivers.
I have provided a link with instructions on uninstalling the printer software and another link to the HP Photosmart C4100 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver
There are also other ways of scanning we can explore. For example, you can scan using the program Microsoft Paint. All you need to do is:
1.Open PAINT
2.Go to "FILE" dropdown
3.Click: From scanner or camera
3.Choose your printer
4.Choose what type of scan you would like
5.Click SCAN
6.Click SAVE
Here is a link to a YouTube video for scanning using Microsoft Paint: Scan with your All-in-One Using Windows Paint (Windows 7)
Let me know if this was useful information and please post back with the results of your troubleshooting.

Are there any updates so i can use my HP Photosmart C4780 All in One Printer wirelessly?

just wondering..are there any updates for the iMac with OS X (10.8.2) so I can use my HP Photosmart C4780 All in One (Print,Scan,Copy)?

Hi,
An HP Full Feature Software is not available for Mountain Lion, therefore the Wireless configuration is tricky and cannot be done through the software.
To connect the printer to your wireless network you will need to create a temporary wireless ad hoc connection, then the wireless connection to your router can be configured via the EWS page:
Step one: Restore the printer's network default settings
Touch the ATM button ( ) next to Wireless / Scan .
Touch the ATM button ( ) next to Wireless Menu .
Touch the ATM button ( ) next to Wireless Settings .
Use the up and down ATM buttons ( ) to select Restore Network Defaults , and then press OK .
Touch the ATM button ( ) next to Yes to confirm your selection.
Step two: Networkly connect the Mac to the printer by creating a temporary ad-hoc connection
From the Mac, click the Wi-Fi icon.
Click Join other network.
Click Show Networks.
Select the printer's SSID, it should be listed as HPSETUP or should contain HP or C4700 within its name.
Click Connect
Allow two-three minutes to fully establish the network connection.
Step three: Connect the printer to your router via the EWS page
Open Safari.
Click the Bookmarks icon ()
Click Bonjour.
Double click the printer name, the EWS page appears.
Open the Networking tab.
From the left pane select Wireless.
Click the Start Wizard button and follow the steps to connect the printer to your router.
Step four: Reconnect the Mac to your router
From the Mac, click the Wi-Fi icon.
Click Join other network.
Click Show Networks.
Select your router SSID.
Click Connect
Allow two-three minutes to fully establish the network connection.
Now the printer should be connected to your network.
Open Print & Scan, click the Plus sign and add the printer listed as Bonjour.
btw John Galt - I this it should be spelled as OS X, please correct me if i'm wrong.. ;-)
Hope that helps,
Shlomi

After installing Snow Leopard I can no longer "save photos on computer" after inserting a memory stick to an HP Photosmart C5180 All in 1 Photosmart C5180 All in one

Hello,
When I insert a memory stick into my HP Photosmart C5180 All in one and I try to "save photos on computer" the printer reads: "You need to install device software". This all started happening after I installed Snow Leopard on my Mac 10.6.8. Can someone please advise on what I need to do?

Typically it's a good idea to uninstall any devices attached to the Mac before doing an upgrade. This prevents problems that can be caused by the upgrade. Below are the instructions for uinstalling and reinstalling the printer. I'm also going to include a link to the full feature software and drivers for the printer. Let me know what happens.

HP8500A all-in-one can no longer scan thru wireless network but prints fine.

HP8500A all-in-one can no longer scan thru wireless network but prints fine. Have used this device several times over past 2 years on different wireless networks (at home) but usually at some point I lose wireless scan function but maintain wireless Printing. I used to be able to reload the software and resolve the issue but now in this "new network" cannot get wireless scanning to work. Setup software; original software (CD) and current download as well as "Print/Scan Dr" hangs-up at "network check" for hours. Compaq laptop, Dell Laptop, Cell phones and Roku work fine thru network. Scanner works fine with USB to Laptops.

Which model Epsons are they?
I'm assuming you're using Yosemite (OS X 10.10), and that the problem developed when you upgraded from a previous OS.
(Your profile says 10.6.7 BTW).
Maybe the scanning function is not compatible with Yosemite.
You could try a few things:
reset your wifi system:
power down everything: modem, router, computer, printer/scanners.
wait a minute.
power them all up again, in that order: modem, router, computer, printers. Let each power up completely before going on to the next.
try a factor reset on your printer/scanner (if there is such a function). You'll have to check your manual for how. If you do that you'll have to enter the wifi password in your printer/scanner, assuming you have security on your network.
uninstall any printer manufacturer "utilities" that are on your Mac, and try Image Capture again.
If it is a compatible software issue, you could try VueScan, but I've never needed to use it.
