Photosmart b109 n-z - can print, can't scan

Help! In a fit of madness I seem to have deleted some of my Photosmart software, and despite trying to download it again, its not working. I can print, but I can't scan. The program that was on my desktop (or the shortcut thereto) wasnt working. It said that installation wasn't complete. It had been working normally for years. I deleted it! When I dowloaded the driver etc again it said it couldn't find the file it needed (?). I don't really know what I'm doing.
This question was solved.

Thanks, Jamieson - that worked. The Wiz may have let me down, but the Doc came through. It installed the software, and everything seems back to normal. I owe you a Jameson!

  • Photosmart 7550 suddenly won't print anything but scanned images?

    Hi all,
    I've had this printer for a while and have had zero problems with it, and I don't think there's one now. More likely a setting I can't find. I just scanned a bunch of stuff that printed up just fine, but text documents, (I use Open Office) and PDF docs will not. I've tested this out and haven't been able to discover what I've done wrong. I can print anything that I've scanned (scanned docs are displayed by Windows Photo Gallery), but no ODT (Open Office) or PDF (Adobe Acrobat). Won't print from e-mail, either. It was all working fine the last time I printed any ODT or PDF, but it has been a couple of months for those, though I was printing e-mails as recently as last week. Also, when I send the command to print, I see the status bar spooling the pages to print, but the printer never reacts. Then when I double click the printer icon in the toolbar, the printer status window that opens shows "printing", but then suddenly it says "deleting" and it disappears and there are no jobs pending.
    I'm using Windows Vista 32-bit. Drivers are up-to-date.
    Can anyone help?

  • My Photosmart 5512 can copy, scan, print documents, but it won't print web pages

    Yesterday, having had problems scanning on my HP Photosmart 5512 All-in-One printer after an HP update, I went to the HP support site and downloaded the most recent driver for my printer.  Once it had finished downloading, it automatically went into the installation process.  Almost everything ended up working fine except I'm unable to print a web page.  I can print from Word and Excel, I can make copies, and I can scan. 
    I installed and then ran the print and scan doctor, but to no avail.  When I looked at the print queue there was nothing there, even though I had made four attempts to print a webpage.
    Does anyone there have any ideas?  Your assistance would be most appreciated.
    Dena Sommer

    Thank you for your help!  I tried reseting the printing system and removed the printer (as indicated in the instructions); however, when trying to add the printer back on it says, "Unable to communicate with the printer at this time."  The printer says that it's connected and the ePrint setting is on... Any suggestions of what to do from here?

  • After the new 10.9.2 Maverick upgrade, my Photosmart C4480 3 in 1 printer can not scan and save the file to desktop or documents.  You can only see the image in the print preview area. Does anyone know how to fix this or when a fix will be out?

    After Aple support downloaded the new 10.9.2 Maverick upgrade on my MacBook Air, my Photosmart C4480 3 in 1 printer can not scan a document and load the file on to my desktop or document file. (You can see the doc image in the preview but it doesn't save it.) Does anyone know an Apple fix for this or when the fix will be out?  After hours of trying reloading, and the usual fixes, etc. Apple told me to call HP, and HP told me they don't support Mac.  It does not seem honorable of Apple to put out an upgrade and not tell people it will destroy their scanning ability, and that the only thing to do is to buy another printer/scanner.

    Have you tried using Applications/Image Capture to scan.
    Vuescan often works.

  • 2014 Photosmart b210 networked printer can't scan

    You might want to switch this over to a different forum .... doesn't have anything to do with laptop or notebook. .. sorry.
    I have a Photosmart Plus All in One Printer Scanner.  The printer is wired to my computer using USB and OS is Windows 7. Recently, my husband got a new computer with Windows 8.1 on it.  I've managed to get the printer networked with his computer to print, but it doesn't scan.  Windows Fax and Scanner doesn't work. The Scan app in HP programs doesn't work either.  Just doesn't find a scanner. 
    I've tried sticking a shortcut of hpscan.exe on his desktop,but that didn't work either.  I've tried all the HP help programs and they can't find a scanning device either.
    It would just be nice to be able to scan something from his computer. 
    I tried to connect the printer through wifi, but it never found the printer or the printer never found his wifi connection. Found everyone elses in the neighborhood, but not his. So I turned it off. 
    It's networked with wired through our D-Link routher.
    Has there ever been a working fix for all in one printers AND scanners?

    Hi ElWel,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your HP Photosmart Plus e-All-in-One Printer - B210a not scanning to Windows 8.1 computer. I would try to first install the drivers and software. Here is a link to the software. 
    If that does not resolve the scanning try the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
    Hope this helps.

  • The efax doesn't work in my HP Photosmart eStation. I can print via wifi and have internet

    I just purchased a HP Photosmart eStation.  I can print fine from my computers and can see the internet via yahoo on the Zeen.  I have an efax account and in settings it states that my "account status is currently up to date".  However, when I type a fax number in (or any number) and press continue, I hear a sound indicating the button's been pressed and then nothing.  If i enter in additional digit, then the SW knows that I have entered in an additional digit.  Also for whatever reason, the "Installing Update" deosn't work either.  I've tried it multiple times.  It seems like it's working, but then I get an error message "Product Update Error"  A time tine out has occurred while waiting for your printer to be updated.  Finally, on the System Notification Page, it states the SD card is removed (do I have an SD card)?  Do I need one?  It also states Syncing Networks (Do not undock while syncing)-- it's said this for >24 hours.
    Thanks

    I am literally on my 4th E-station printer.  My problem arises when I update the Zeen tablet software.    Upon doing so, the printer icon disappears from the Zeen tablet.   When I try to use certain features, it states that I must dock the Zeen tablet (which is already done) and sync.  Which I can not do because the printer does not recognize that the Zeen tablet is docked.  I did a factory restore, which rendered the Zeen tablet useless - the 'continue' button on the tablet in the Wizard setup is grayed out and I can not continue.  I brought it back today and it was replaced with yet ANOTHER.  i do not recommend updating the sofware.  It is what is causing all of my problems.  I inadvertantly did it this time and regret it.  I have advised everyone in my house NOT to update my Zeen tablet.  Thankfully I bought the black tie protection when I bought the printer.  Although - HP did send me a replacement once, but it was a huge hassle - and that one is the one I just had to replace yet again

  • 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

  • Can I airprint from my iphone to a HP photosmart plus B209a-m wireless printer?

    Can I airprint from my iphone to a HP photosmart plus B209a-m wireless printer?

    Not via bluetooth.
    You can print to some wi-f printers if they are airprint enabled printers or you have an app that provides this feature.

  • Can my hp photosmart all-in-one 7200 printer connect to ipad 2 via bluetooth?

    I have a hp photosmart all-in-one 7200 printer with a hp blue tooth dongle.  It works well with my cameras, but I cannot get my ipad 2 to recognize the printer.

    Hi,
    Printing via Bluetooth from an iPad is not possible due to iOS limitations, as Apple did not include the Bluetooth printing protocol in the iOS.
    If your printer is HP Photosmart C7200, you may use the HP ePrint Home & Biz App to print from your iPad through your home network
    However for the Officejet 7200 your only option is to look for any available 3rd party printing solution from the App Store.

  • HP Photosmart 5520. Can't scan to my computer

    HP Photosmart 5520. I can print FROM my computer just fine, but can't scan from the printer TO my computer. Message is "Connection Error." This happens sometimes, but usually I can fix by turning everything off, disconnecting, and starting over. Today nothing works. This is getting tiresome. Printing works fine.  BTW, I do not control the router & can't just turn it on and off. I am not technologically savvy; I just want the thing to work.
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    The scan to computer is disabled by default (I don't know why the software girls/guys desinged that way). On my machine, driver for Windows 8 is much better (even same exe file). Please enable it using the following steps (please note: for Windows machines)
       Double click printer icon on desktop,
       Click Manage Scan to Computer,
       Click Enable
    You may want to tick the last square too.

  • I can't scan from my HP Photosmart C4440; not direct from the scanner to pc nor vice versa

    I can't scan from my HP Photosmart C4440; not direct from the scanner to pc nor vice versa, Please help me ASAP, Thanks everyone, I'm stuck with a homework!

    Hello  @Roberto3 , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you are having issues scanning. I'd like to help!
    Are you able to make a copy as opposed to a scan?
    Do you have any errors come up when scanning?
    I'd recommend starting with a power reset.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I would also recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Can't Scan to Photosmart 5520 on OSX 10.10

    I am trying to scan from my HP Photosmart 5520 to my Mac which is running OS X 10.10.1 (Yosemite).  I used to be able to scan just fine but now that I've upgraded to Yosemite it no longer works.  I can print just fine but scanning doesn't work at all. I  can't scan from the Printer utility (System Preferences | Printers & Scanners | Scan). I can't scan using the HP Scan utility (I receive an error saying HP Scan can't communicate with my device).  And I also can't scan using the scan to printer option.  In fact, I can't even enable the scan to printer option in the HP Utility because I get a message that the software isn't installed despite having just downloaded today the most recent HP software for this device and installing it and ensuring the HP Scan option was selected during installation.
    This is incredibly frustrating. I'm hoping someone can help me resolve this.
    Thanks
