Hp aio remote app on iPhone won't scan to my hp photosmart 7515

hp aio remote app "there was a problem during scanning. check scanner and try again" when using hp photosmart 7515 however this is a new issue the app scanning worked before. Also I can no longer print or scan unless at home and connected to my network

Hello @mbranch37,
Welcome to the HP forums.
I understand that you are having a problem with the AIO app, as well as what sounds like a web services issue.
I would like to help.
Before working with the app, I would like to make sure the printer is fine.
On the front panel of your printer touch the Web Services icon. (also known as the ePrint button)
If you get a server connection error, I would set a manual DNS.
The following post by happytohelp01, has instructions for setting the manual DNS.
If for some reason the printers email or ePrint address has changed, you will have to set it up again.
If the email is the same and you do not get any error messages, try cycling your network.
Turn off the printer and other network devices.
Unplug the power to your router for at least a minute.
Plug the power cord back into the router.
Turn on all your network devices.
Wait until the blue wireless light on your printer stops blinking.

How can i print photo's from my computor to my photosmart 7515 windows vista 64 bit with updates

How can i print photto's from my computor to my photosmart 7515 hp
OS vista 64 bit

Hi,
You can print from iPhone that means your printer is connected to a wireless network and definitely you can print from your computer which has wireless (or using USB cable).
Now go to the following site to download driver and applications for it and install them on your pc/laptop:

Wireless Photosmart 7515 No Longer Recognized by Window

My printer worked wirelessly just fine for over a year. Then one day both my desktop and laptop comuter stopped printing wirelessly. The Wireless Network Test Results show that the printer in "Connected" to the network, but Windows 7 fails to recognize it. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks.
John

Hey John,
I see you are having a network connection issue with your Photosmart 7515. When was the last time the network setup was power cycled?
Follow these steps to reset your HP printer, your wireless router, and your computer.
Press the Power button on the HP printer to turn it off.
Disconnect the power cord from the rear of the HP printer.
Disconnect the power cord from the wireless router.
Turn off the computer.
Wait 30 seconds.
Reconnect the power cord to the wireless router.
Wait 30 seconds, or until the router is fully on and ready.
Turn the computer back on.
Wait for the computer to reload.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the HP printer.
Turn the printer back on.
Once everything is powered back up, then I would check to make sure the printer is still showing connected to your network. If so, then check the IP that the software is looking for the printer at to make sure it hasn't changed at some point. To do this follow the below steps:
Click the Start menu of your PC
Click All Programs
Open the HP Folder
Open the folder for the 7515 inside the HP folder
Select the option to Update Wireless information to update the IP the software is looking for the printer at
As well, try running the HP Print and Scan Doctor to see if it can locate any issues with your installation. Please use the below link to access the PSDR.

Let me know the results,
Jason

Photosmart 7515 Not Working

I bought my HP Photosmart 7515 All-in-One (Print / eFax / Scan / Copy / Web) when it first came out - honestly can't remember. I use a 2008-MacBook Pro and 2009-27" iMac desktop computer. Originally, the 7515 worked wonderfully. I updated my computer OS to 10.8 and it continued to work. I recently (2 months ago) updated my OS to 10.9 (newest Mac OS) on both the desktop and laptop devices. The 7515 will not work with either device anymore over the network. I updated all the drivers and software I can find via Apple's software as well as through the HP website.
After a lot of work, I finally was able to get the desktop to print and scan using the 7515 but ONLY via direct USB connection. Today, I downloaded the newest printer software compatible with the 7515 All-in-One (HP-Inkjet-SW-OSX-Mavericks_v12.34.44) This allows me to print to the printer wirelessly on my laptop. However, I cannot scan to the device.
I'm starting to get tired of this poor compatibility. If I can't regain functionality of a perfectly good (practically looks and functions like its new in box) device ... then I'm going to leave HP.
Please help. Thank you for your suggestions in advance.

HI DrTony2013,
I'm sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues scanning with your Photosmart 7515 since upgrading to Mavericks.
You indicated that you downloaded and installed the full feature driver for your printer and Mavericks. I've checked and the full feature driver for your printer is different from the one you gave; you gave HP-Inkjet-SW-OSX-Mavericks_v12.34.44.dmg and HP's website shows the driver download as HP-Inkjet-SW-OSX-Mavericks_v12.34.38.dmg. I've included the link to the correct Mavericks download.
Please install the proper driver to see if that corrects the scanning issue.

HP Photosmart 7515 says it is connected to wireless network but won't print from anywhere.

My HP photosmart 7515 used to work on my network. I could print from iphones and my mac mini. Now it says its connected, it has the IP address 10.0.1.3 and everything on the HP network configuration page says it is functioning normally, but the printer can't be reached by any device and I can't open it in my browser when I type the IP address into it. I've tried powering it down and unplugging it but at this point I am at a loss. The only thing I can think of is that I ran a Mackeeper fast cleanup of extraneous files recently and perhaps something was removed that needed to stay. I don't know. I tried installing the HP utility for Mavericks (my current operating system on the Mini) but that can't find the printer. I tried typing in the IP address manually but that didn't work either.
When I try to connect to it through eprint it says that it is connected but says there is a problem with the printer. What's the problem? It says it is unspecified and to see printer front panel for information on resolving the issue. Where on the front panel? I have no idea.
Happy to start from the beginning but this is really becoming a pain. Why doesn't it work?
Help! David

FIrst of all, get rid of Mackeeper, it will cause more problems that it will solve. To uninstall it, open it and have it uninstall itself, then restart your Mac.
Have you restarted your router? What router are you using?

My Macbook Pro won't print with my HP Photosmart 7515. I get the following message, " Print file was not accepted" Printer does work with our PC??

My Macbook Pro won't print with my HP Photosmart 7515. I get the following message, " Print file was not accepted" Printer does work with our PC?? Checked for software updates and are none. Talked with HP help and they say it's an Apple problem

I noticed that you said you uninstalled the printer, but you didn't mention resetting the print system. Resetting the print system will reset the drivers the Mac has installed and make them work like they should. Give this a try and see if it gets the printer working like it should. The document below will expalin more about doing this.
Basic Printer Troubleshooting Steps for Mac
If that doesn't help, see if you are using the AirPrint driver, or the printers driver. By default 10.8 uses the AirPrint driver if the printer supports it, so I'm betting that's the driver you're using. If it is, try using the driver for the printer itself. To do this, access Print and Scan. Click the + sign to add a new printer. Select the printer from the list. Click the dropdown next to Use and select the 7515's driver. Let me know what happens.

Why is my iMac's CPU fan making a lot of noise?

Hello!
My 27" iMac (late 2009) is making a lot of noise for the last few months. The noise doesnt occur when you start up, but after you do something what is not really intensive for the computer suddenly the CPU fan is going up to about 4000 rpm. I have tried resseting the PRAM and the SMC but it won't help. I have inserted an image so you can take a look for yourself!
Kind regards,
Emiel

Try resetting the iMac SMC and PRAM reset again, this time do each reset 2x. On occasion the first time does not work, but if it continues to be noisy then you probably have a mechanical problem and the fan may need replacing.

I bought a ibook G4 2005 refur-ed it is making a fan running noise when I listen to sample music on line and it will not stop until I reboot.. What could that be also bottom of computer very hot?

When my iBook got hot like that, I would take a break and let it cool down.
You can buy laptop desks that have USB powered fans on them, such as the Targus Chill Mat.

Photosmart 7515 All-in-one

How do I reduce or enlarge the size of the object to be printed?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi Lorem_ipsum,
I tried your suggestion to use the application to reduce the object I want to print. I was able to reduce the object size, but when I printed it, it printed the same size, had I not reduced it.
I am using Windows 7 and Office 2010. I am copying coupons that I receive in an e-mail and paste them into a word document. I remove the parts of the received e-mail I don’t want to print and try to reduce the coupons in size so they will print smaller. I was able to reduce the size of the coupons while viewing in MS Word, but when I print them out, they print at the size had I not reduced them.
I had no problem reducing the objects before printing with the HP printer I owned prior to the Photosmart 7515 all-in-one I now own. After clicking on FILE and then PRINT I don’t see any capability to reduce the object before printing.
Any additional guidance would be greatly appreciated…………..Dave50

My laptop is making this weird cricket noise...what is the problem?

My laptop has started making this weird crickety noise. The laptop works fine, but its just the noise that's a bit irritating. I have a 13" Mackbook Pro, that i just purchased recently in September. It's only been 4 months and the laptop hasnt been dropped or anyhting like that. I take really good care of it.

The noise makers on a MBP are the fans, HDD or the Optical drive. If it is the retina model, only the fans should produce a sound.
Can you locate where the noise is coming from and advise what model MBP you have.
Ciao.

Power adapter making a high pitched noise

Hi,
I was wondering if it is normal for my power adapter to be making a high pitched noise constantly. The noise stops or lessens very briefly when the computer is doing something (i.e. switching web pages) but, otherwise, it is constant. It is a really annoying high pitched whine. If this is not normal, what can I do about it. Do I need another one? Will Applecare cover it? Thanks!

Whereas I am not sure if this is normal, I figured I'd add that I see a similar problem happening on my power adapter.
I noticed on mine that it only makes the sound when the magsafe LED is green, if it's charging the battery it does not happen.
This started only about 2 weeks ago.

A few months ago my fan started making a lot of noise and is getting really hot. I've taken steps to prevent overheating, but nothing has changed. Is it a battery issue?

I've had the computer for 2 1/2 years and it started getting really noisy about 4 months ago. I'm using rulers to elevate the computer above the surface of the table to prevent overheating, but its still getting really hot and the fan is still making a lot of noise on and off. Could this be a battery issue?
