Photosmart 7510 scan not working

My Photosmart 7510 scanner is suddenly, and for no apparent reason, not working. Wireless printing works fine, just the scan feature is not working. I have gone through the process of uninstalling and reinstalling my printer at least 25 times, both from the CD it came with, and from the latest drivers offered by HP. Each time, the installation is unsuccessful. I've run printer diagnostics, the Print and Scan Doctor, and have tried using the install wizard for Windows to install the software, but I keep getting an error. I've gone through the steps offered by the "HP Installation Failure - Upgrade Failure" dialogs, but still am unable to fix the issue with the scanner. Everytime I try to open the scanner, it displays the error: "The HP Photosmart 7510 series was not found. Everytime I check the software, it shows that I am missing the full feature drivers. Everytime I try to install the full feature software, it returns an error saying that certain software can't be uninstalled. I found documentation to follow for when you get that error, but that troubleshooting didn't solve the problem. When trying to use scan to computer directly from the scanner, I get a message that I need to enable scan to computer. However, I'm unable to open the scanner propeties to enable this feature, since, as mentioned before, when I try to open the scanner, it can't be found, and when trying to install it on my computer, it can't be installed. Help.. I'm now officially going around in circles.
I'm running WIndows 7, 64bit.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

With HP update for Maverick my photosmart C309A does not work properly

After the HP-update for Maverick my printer HP Photosmart C309A does not work correctly. The scan facility is gone and the printer "hangs" after one print. I had to reset the printer software from a backup and to disable the automatic installation facility on my IMac. Shortly, very very very nasty. I hope this is the way for Apple to change this update into a good one. There is no other way to communicate with Apple then through the Community. I wander if Yosemite gives the same problems with printers.

You are welcome.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Some people have solved this by restoring their previous driver from their backup.

Please download the driver from the HP website (that matches your operating system).

Photosmart 7510 will not scan. Printing, faxing, Eprint all work, but no software for scanning

I have spent over 10hrs on the phone with Tech Support, Cloud service, and an HP escalation manager. The HP escalation manager ran a scrubber tool to completely remove all of the HP printer software and reinstalled. Now everything works except for Scan.
Using the HP Scan utility from the PC gives, "The HP Photosmart 7510 series was not found"
Using Scan to Computer for the printer display gives, "Make sure HP Printer software is installed". I can, however, scan to a memory chip inserted into the computer, but is produces a jpg file and I need PDF. All of the scanning software used to work before tech support and HP escalation got involved.

If you have it connected to a network, it sounds like a firewall issue.
It could be a firewall you are running or a firewall that your ISP or router is running that you know nothing about.
Info needed:
router make and model
ISP
antivirus/firewall you are running
There is a document that addresses ports and exceptions for a networked printer that usually correct the problem.

PhotoSmart 7510 scan function doesn't work right after updating Maverick

It was an ordeal but hp support was finally able to get my MAC to recognize my PhotoSmart 7510 all-in-one after the operating system was updated to 10.9.5. But now I get the scan function but I have no options as to size, dpi or what type file I want to save the scan to. Also, the quality is TERRIBLE. Granted I'm trying to scan old photographs but I was able to do this with no problem before. Now the grayscale is off and light areas of the images don't scan at all.
I know that all the drivers are up-to-date but I don't know how to fix this problem.

Hey @LK8888,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you want to be able to scan with good quality on your Mac OS X 10.9.5 Operating System from your HP Photosmart 7510 e-All-in-One Printer. I would like to assist you with resolving this issue. Now you did state that you had quite a time with HP Technical Support trying to get your Mac to recognize your Photosmart. I'm afraid that if your scanner isn't working properly we may have to undue some of the steps completed by Technical Support to resolve this issue once and for all for you. However, before I have you delete or remove any software and drivers from your computer, could I have you take a look at the following document to ensure that you're using the proper scan software:
Scan from OS X v10.9 Mavericks With the Full Feature HP Software for HP Multifunction Printers
If everything now works perfect, great! If not, than unfortunately I'm going to need you to run through the following steps.

Uninstalling the Printer Software
Step 2: Verify and Repair your Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Open Macintosh HD and go to Applications

Select Verify Disk Permissions
Once that process is done, select Repair Disk Permissions
Step 3: Check for Apple Updates:
Go to Apple
Select System Preferences
Select Software Update
Click Update Now
Install your available updates
Restart your computer
Step 4: Reinstall your Software and Drivers:
HP Photosmart 7510 series C311 Full Feature Software and Drivers
Please click the link above to download the appropriate Mac OS X 10.9.5 drivers for your product. Once the download is complete follow the step-by-step installation instructions to complete the install of your product.
Once install is complete, try to scan!

Photosmart 7510 scan error

Hello,
i have a problem with scanning and copying. If I try to make a copy/scan from the glass, it does not recgnize it, it tries to use the adf all the time, even if it has no paper in the adf. If you put a paper in the adf, it takes it and gets it out, but on the screen appears paper jam, check the paper in the feeder. I checked the sensors in the adf, they move ok, they are not stuck. I tried even disconnecting the feeder but it does noy work.
Can anyone give me a hint on how to repair it? Thanks in advance. Luk

Hi @Luk7475,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you cannot scan from the glass of your HP Photosmart 7510 printer. I am happy to help you with this scanning issue!
For further assistance, I will need to know the following:
If you are using Genuine HP Ink cartridges, or Refills.
If any of the cartridges are low or empty.
If the power cable is 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.
The Operating System you are using. If you do not know the Operating System you are using, please visit this website. Whatsmyos.
In the meantime, please see the following guides:
A 'Paper Jam' Error Displays on the HP Photosmart 7510 e-All-in-One Printer Series. (This is good for real or false paper jams).
A 'No Computer Detected' or 'Connection Error' Message Displays When Scanning for HP Photosmart 7510....
Hope these guides will help, and hope to hear from you soon!

Black ink cartridge on photosmart printer 7250 not working

the black ink cartridge on my photosmart 7250 printer is not working. I've tried everything. I've aligned the cartridges and tried reprinting several times to see if the ink cartridge will start printing. Everything has failed. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

You're welcome, and thank you for the updated information
I will recommend that you follow the steps within this Fixing Print Quality Problems document first. If that however does not resolve the issue and the black continues to not print, please try manually cleaning the printhead follow the steps in this 'Missing or Failed Printhead' document for your printer.
If after both of those documents the black still isn't printing properly what I suggest next will depend on if your printer is in warranty or not. If the printer is still under warranty (use this warranty checker to find out) then please call our technical support team for further assistance. If the printer is no longer under warranty, you can try the printhead soaking steps from @Bob_Headrick.
Let me know how things go for you

Smart scan not working with Insert Select statements

We have observed that smart scan is not working with insert select statements but works when select statements are execute alone.
Can you please help us to explain this behavior?

There is a specific exadata forum - you would do better to post the question there: Exadata
I can't give you a definitive answer, but it's possible that this is simply a known limitation similar to the way that "Create table as select" won't run the select statement the same way as the basic select if it involves a distributed query.

Why my photosmart 8400 is not working with windows 7?

Why i can't install the software and drivers on windows 7 ( photosmart HP 8400 Printer )

Adobe Reader X works very well on Windows 7.
Please give us the exact error message you're getting; "program not working" is not a message that Windows or Adobe Reader would issue.

McAfee Scan not working

Tried to scan Mac this morning: got message "unknown errors received from scanners".
So tried McAfee's Virtual Technician (sort of automatic help service) which reported '1.0.0.2 - platform not supported' against Internet Security, Application Protection, Desktop Firewall and Antimalware.
So then tried to get McAfee's email support, but it doesn't seem to be available to us here (in UK).
Then tried their 'Live Chat' - got a Live Chat reference number, but no prompt / invitation to actually initiate 'discussion'.
Is anyone else having McAfee problems and does anyone have any ideas on what else I can try?

Thank you so much :-)
I did hesitate for a bit (I'm a Mac newbie!), but finally bit the bullet & uninstalled.
Then my problems really started !!! Couldn't re-install (Download from McAfee not working).
So have spent 3 days trying to get some sense out of McAfee Helpdesk (a misnomer if ever I heard one ........).
Problem seemed to be that the only link (to them) available to me took me to their Windows dept. They appear to work in complete isolation from their Mac dept: just kept replying that I'd have to contact their Mac people.
Had just about reached tantrum stage when, this evening, I tried downloading McAfee yet again & - whey-hey !! - this time it worked.
So its scan is chuntering away in the background, even as I type. I'm none the wiser as to why it went wrong in the first place, nor why it was so difficult to reinstall. But all's well that ends well :-)
Many thanks
Susan

Proxies Missing and Full scans not working

We had some major issues upgrading our Facilis shared storage to 'multi-user write' and in the process we lost all the proxy files/thumbnails for any video that was NOT stored in a archive device in FCSvr.
Now the Facilis is stabilized - but I am left will 20,000 plus video flies that I need to recreate proxies/thumnails for. Any of the video that was stored on archive devices in FCSvr still has all the proxy files/thumbnails intact.
So - I think I need to run a full scan on my edit-in-place device that has all the clips with missing proxy files? But this is not working. I keep getting:
"ERROR: E_INVAL pm_transcoder ..."
I can add new media to FCSvr with no problem - proxies and thumbnails get generated. But I can not seem to figure out how to make a full scan work. It tries three files - they all immediately fail and the full scan stops.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

In the process of making the changes you made, did any paths change? If the device paths changed at all, you could have trouble if you don't change the device in FCSvr too.
Also, Did you bring FCSvr down before you started the upgrade? If FCSvr was running and tried to access the device while it was not mounted, specifically if it tried to write to either the shared storage device or the proxy device while it was unavailable to FCSvr, it may have created a "phantom device" in the /Volumes folder. I've had this problem several times. Try this - using Terminal on the FCSvr machine, cd to /Volumes. Does everything look normal there?

Scaner not working

I have been using CS5 and Lion and scanning on my epson V750 Pro through photoshop. I just upgraded to CS6 and Mountain lion. Now I can only scan using the epson scanner ap and not through photoshop. Does not work now with CS5 either. I have downloaded the latest drivers and software from epson but it still does not work?

CS6 in Mac is only 64 bit. There is no TWAIN for 64 bit applications, so you will have to use the scanner ap for your work.

HP Photosmart 7510 "Could not get printer information from HP" NOT SOLVED

OK. So, I have searched all over the forums for a clear solution to this problem, and I have yet to see one that applies to my printer (HP Photosmart 7510). I have regestered the printer, selected 'everyone' in the allowed senders area, and am still receiving the same error message when trying to connect Google Cloud Print. Being able to print my google docs is EXTREMELY important... can anyone shed light on this?
If I have missed a post on my specific problem, I apologize for the double-posting.
Thanks

amp85,
The ePrint servers have been going through some heavy maintence here lately to upgrade the servers and it seems like it is causing issues with Google Cloud Print. I would keep trying and see if anything changes, it should resolve itself when the maintence has been completed. If you are still having issues after the next couple days, post back in here and let me know. Hopefully I'll have some more information about this issue by then if it has not yet been resolved.

10.6.5 and scanning not working on a brother

I upgraded to 10.6.5 and scanning stopped working on my Brother MFC-685CW?
It is on an ethernet. I played around enough (turn off firewall, reboot etc) to convince myself that I'm not going to be able to fix it

Hi Charles,
Thanks so much for taking the time to reply!
Yes I have tried cycling power on both the computer and printer. That used to fix versions before 10.6.5. Unfortunately I don't get any errors. It just doesn't exist as a scanner I can select.
I see other people are having printer problems with the software version just released so it might not be
