Photosmart C4585 All-in-One no OCR on Windows 7

When I upgraded from vista to Windows 7, I downloaded the new driver from the website for scanning.  I was only using this for pictures until now so I did not notice that it did not seem to have the  OCR element for scanning text.  This week I have been trying to use it to scan editable text and found that this option is missing.  The manual said that you should install this feature from your CD, so I reloaded the full driver from the website (as my CD is for the vista OS).  This did not work and it STLL does not offer me the option to scan editable text.   I tried to find the OCR componant seperately, but only found one for vista  on the HP site,( which was not compatible -  I tried to install this, but it would not load or work with my driver).  I now seem to have 2 copies of the driver, both of which seem to work, and yet neither do charcter recognition, both offering me the same options ( pdf and all the other usual image formatts, but no OCR/text scanning).  Does anyone know how to get this working?  (I'm on 64 bit windows 7) and really need the feature now. Thank you.

Hi @Angie2 ,
I would like to help you out with the OCR Software for scanning.
Windows 7 uses Version 13.1.0 software and the Windows Vista uses Version 12.0.1.
The software Version most likely doesn't support OCR Software.
When installing the Windows 7 drivers, if it gives you a option for a custom install, you might be able to select OCR to install it, if it is available.
Most of the Officejet models do support OCR Software.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

  • Photosmart 6180 All-in-One Wireless Connection After Windows 7 Laptop Added to Network

    I replaced a broken Vista laptop with a new Windows 7 64-bit laptop.  After I installed my Photosmart 6180 All-in-One, the printer stopped working correctly when we try to connect to it wirelessly. 
    I followed all the directions HP provides for updating the printer software and drivers for Windows 7.
    We've tried all the suggestions for resetting the printer that we can find on the HP forums. 
    The printer works properly when connected via USB cable to a Vista laptop. 
    I was not able to get the printer to work via USB cable connected to the Windows 7 laptop.
    When we try to connect via the wireless signal, regardless of Vista or Windows 7, the printer goes into an endless initialization loop.
    We need to determine whether achieving a wireless connection is hopeless.  If it is not, we need step-by-step instructions on how to resolve the issue.
    The security system for the printer is WEP.  We connect through a wireless router provided by Verizon FIOS.
    Many thanks in advance for your help.

    Some of HP's printers do not support WEP shared.  If you are using WEP shared this could be the problem.  I would suggest turning off the WEP security temporarily to see if that fixes the issue.  If it does then you can look at changing the security to WEP Open system authentication.

  • Problem installing Photosmart C6180 All-In-One software

    I've "googled" and found several similar installation issues but none quite match mine.   When I attempt to install the All-In-One software, I receive a dialog box error "The system cannot find the file specified."   The file that it is attempting to find is found in the Dialog window heading:
    c:\users\Myusername\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS52C3\,sourcepath.setup\blocksys...
    Using %temp% I am able to verify that the 7zS52C3 folder structure exists.  However the ",sourcepath.setup" folder shown above is incorrect.  it should be just "setup".  
    I've ran this install several times under  different accounts, including creating a new admin account.
    I've cleared all temp files, removed tsr files using msconfig as described and cannot seem to solve this issue.  I even renamed the setup folder to ",sourcepath.setup" to see if this would solve the install but it failed on another file.
    I am running Windows Professional x64,  My HP Photosmart c6180 is connected to the network and I am able to print properly to it from my computer.  I need the software primarily for "scanning to computer" functionality.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hello @DirkPittP,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that when installing your HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One Printer on your Windows 7 64 bit computer, you are encountering a 'c:\users\Myusername\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS52C3\,so​urcepath.setup\blocksysinstall.exe The system cannot find the file specified' error. I would like to assist you with this issue today.
    Now in your original post, I can see that you have already attempted installing the printer on administrator accounts, clearing the temp files, running an msconfig, and renaming the folder to no avail. At this time I would like you run the following steps to see if we can get this working for you.
    Step 1: Uninstall Drivers:
    First, I would like you to clean up your system of any software or drivers for your HP Photosmart that may have made their way onto your system during the failed installs. Rather than running the 'normal' uninstall process, I would like you to click here to download the Microsoft Uninstaller Tool.
    Once the website opens, please select the Run now button on the right hand side. Please follow through any recommended fix steps provided. When prompted, choose that you need assistance with 'uninstalling'. You will be brought to a list of populated programs from your computer. Scroll through this list until you see your HP Photosmart. Select your HP Photosmart and allow it to uninstall.
    This Microsoft Tool will also check your computer for any registry corruptions. Should any system corruptions be found, this Microsoft Tool will fix those corruptions for you.
    Once the uninstall has completed, please close the Microsoft Tool and proceed to the next step.
    Step 2: Clear the Temp Files:
    Click on your Start menu
    In the 'search programs and files' box type %temp% and hit enter
    In the Temp folder select Ctrl + A at the same time on your keyboard to highlight everything
    Select the 'delete' button on your keyboard. If you get a pop up to skip an item, just skip it.
    Once the Temp folder is emptied, close the window
    Right click on your Recycling Bin and select Empty Recycling Bin
    Step 3: Download Drivers:
    Please click here to download the latest drivers for your printer.
    Once the website opens select the Download button on the top left
    Allow the download to Run
    Once the download has completed the installer will automatically extract
    After the extraction if you get the error again for 'blocksysuserinstall.exe' take note of the temp folder 7z . . .  number sequence it refers to this time around.
    Step 4: Rename Temp 7z Installer package:
    Click on your Start menu
    In the 'search programs and files' box type %temp% and hit enter
    In the Temp folder locate the 7z . . . folder that shows in there
    Right click on the 7z folder and left click on 'rename'
    Rename the folder to the 7z. . . to the name that the 'blocksysuserinstall.exe' points to
    NOTE:  Ensure that you are logged into the same User Account that the error points to: "c:\users\Myusername\AppData . . . " when you make the change to the 7z folder. There shouldn't be any  'sourcepath.setup' folders at all.
    Step 5: Install Printer:
    Once the 7z folder is renamed to the name the error wants than click on the 7z folder to open it
    Scroll down to the bottom of the installer files
    Double click on the setup.exe file at the bottom. It may show an HP logo to the left of it
    An installer window should pop open
    Follow through the with the onscreen instructions to reinstall your printer
    Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. I look forward to hearing from you!

  • HP Photosmart C2780 All-in-one won't work with Image Capture

    I want to use Image Capture as the scanning software but it won't connect to my scanner (HP Photosmart C2780 All-in-one). When I go to browse devices it shows the scanner but when i click on "Use Twain UI", nothing happens, and it is supposed to ask me if I want to connect. I believe that I have followed all of the instructions correctly but nothing is happening. Does the HP Photosmart C2780 even work with Image Capture? and if it does what am I doing wrong?

    Install the HP Drivers from HP.
    I installed V9.7.1 from the HP website:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-55650-2 &lc=en&cc=us&lang=en&os=219&product=3204785&dlc=en
    This provides 'Hp Device Manager' which will scan images or do OCR on text pages....

  • Photosmart Premium All in One Blue screen error B882B1C4

    I have recently purchased a Photosmart Premium All in One C309G machine which is connected via a USB cable to the PC. When I try to use it wirelessly it produces a blue screen with an error message B882B1C4 as soon as I switch on the BT hub. HP haven't been able to sort out the problem as I am now in  receipt of the 4th replacement . Can anyone suggest a solution please?  I have a BT1800HG wireless hub connected with an ethernet cable to my HP PC.

    This is posted in your separate thread:
    Hey there. I would try a power reset to fix the issue.
    Press the Power button ( ) to turn off the product.
    NOTE:The product might not turn off after pressing the Power button. Continue to the next step regardless.
    Disconnect the power cord from the back of the product.
    Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet, and then wait 30 seconds.
    Connect the power cord to the electrical outlet.
    Connect the power cord to the back of the product.
    Press the Power button ( ) to turn on the product.
    If this does not solve the issue then the printer will most likely need to be serviced.Hope this helps!

  • HP Photosmart e-All-in-One - B110a : How can I deactivate wireless?

    Hi, everyone.
    I just bought HP Photosmart e-All-in-One - B110 and after the installation (which went OK), while trying to get acquainted with the printer and the rest of the functions, I pushed the Wireless button out of curiosity.
    Now, every time I switch on B110, the Wireless blue light keeps blinking. Does that mean that it's working?
    I do NOT want to activate wireless printing (at least for the time being). I want it deactivated permanently. Is there a way to do this?
    Many thanks in advance.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The blinking blue light means it's looking for a network to connect to. It won't connect to a network if you haven't put any info in the wireless setup. I believe there's an option to turn off the wireless radio in the settings somewhere.

  • Hp - photosmart e-all-in-one wireless printer cn731a- nothing prints??

    HP - Photosmart e-All-in-One Wireless Printer  (CN731A)
    Went through setup on Windows 7 64-bit, printed the test photo, came out great.  Thought everything was good to go.  Later, when trying to print a document, it wouldn't print.  Computer popped up a message saying "Successfully printed" but when I went to the printer, there was nothing there.  I tried running a wireless network test on the printer's screen, and once that page printed with the results, immediately after that, the document I was trying to get finally printed.  This was an early Christmas gift for my parents, & my mom just informed me that she tried to print again today, but nothing happened on the printer.  I am out of town now and am not able to troubleshoot on my own on the printer like I did a couple days ago so came here for advice.. Any idea what the issue might be? Did I maybe miss a step after doing the test print of the photo?  Any ideas would be appreciated!

    Hello,
    Try the below steps ..
    While the printer is ON, Unplug the power cord from back of the printer.
    Disconnect all the cables that are connected to the printer.
    Wait for 30 seconds.
    Plug in only the Power Cord. ( Printer would Power on ).
    Try making a standalone Color copy of a document . If it fails to print a copy, then it could either be an issue with the Ink cartridges  or the Printer .

    Given your ptinter supports print from Android, you need an app called HP ePrint. Please use Google Store to install it:

  • Problem with installing Solution Center for a HP Photosmart Premium All-in-One Printer - C309g

    Hi folks,
    I've searched many threads and found some directions to remedy this, tried them and have had no luck.
    I'm running Windows 7.  All updates are current.  When I bought the printer I installed the software (on Windows 7 OS) from the disc and everything was fine.  Fast forward a year and Solution Center stopped working.
    Uninstalled all HP software to reinstall.  I was only able to reinstall HP Update.  I was able to load the basic drivers for print and scan, but not the entire software suite including Solution Center.  The installation stops abruptly after "installing updates".
    I even downloaded and tried "PS_AIO_06_C309g-m_USW_Full_Win_enu_140_175" and got the same result as the original installation disc.
    What can I do with my printer (HP Photosmart Premium All-in-One Printer - C309g)???
    Thanks,
    Alex

    View Solution.

    Hey Spider! First off welcome to the forum.
    I would recommend removing all the ink cartridges, unplugging the USB cable from the computer that connects to the printer, and then shutting the printer off completely by removing the power cord. Then restart your computer. Turn the printer back on but leave it disconnected from the computer. After it has finished its power on cycle go ahead and insert the ink cartridges back into the printer and be sure to seat them properly.
    After you have all the cartridges back in the printer properly then connect it to the computer. See if this resolves the issue. If not post back with any findings.
    Thanks,
