Print, Copy, Fax, Scan Recommendation

I haven't been able to fix the problem with my brand new Officejet J4660 All in one, (Print, copy, fax, scan). Yes, I have followed the recommendations posted here, and searched the HP forums as well. So, I had to "call a guy", that hurt.
So, would anyone care to give me a recommendation on another product that will work with my brand new iMac using Snow Leopard? An all in one product that works right out of the box, plug and play, like my iMac does?
Thanks so much!

I like the one I have: Epson Artisan 810. It has the features you are looking for and supports duplex printing; it also does a fine job with color printing. When it comes time to install it, please follow Epson's guidelines:
Go ahead and follow the easy setup guide (setting it up, installing ink cartridges and paper, etc) up to the point of installing software.
Even if you want it to work wirelessly, do a wired (tethered to your computer or router via USB or ethernet cable), install first.
Do not use the install CD in the box. Instead, download the latest combo package driver from the Epson site and use it. For the 810, it would be the
epson13615.dmg available here:

If you have a wireless router: mine (Netgear) requires that I enter the MAC address of any equipment I want recognized; once the printer is running, go into the Network setup on the LDC screen and you will find the address. Copy it and enter it on your router's website. I did that and then turned on filesharing and did not have to install anything else - I can print just fine from my Macbook wirelessly.

HP Officejet 4215 all-in-one printer, copier, fax and scanner

Before I installed Leopard, I had various options in my print menu available to me. For example, I could print a document or webpage in black and white (to save ink) that was originally in color. After installing Leopard, those printer options do not exist anymore. I have to print everything that has color in color. Some of the other options are missing too. I went on the HP website to see if I could upgrade to a new driver but there was none listed. Also the Scanner feature won't work anymore now that Leopard is on my system. Now they did mention that on their website saying I would have to go buy a stand alone scanner now if I wanted to scan anything as a result to having something to do with Leopard!
I was told that there were printer drivers on the Leopard install disc. I installed them and haven't notice any differences.

HP have [this pdf document|http://h41140.www4.hp.com/macconnect/pdf/Mac_OS_launchspecial.pdf] available online entitled "We're Ready for Leopard". This document specifically mentions (among others) the OfficeJet 4215 and gives helpful info on moving your HP device from 10.4 to 10.5. Does this help you?

Print driver solution for a panasonic workio DP-8035 printer/copier/fax

I need to print at my office from a networked DP-8035 panasonic printer, the print driver from panasonic's web site only supports 10.5, I am using 10.6.6, the driver won't even open! the installer crashes when I try to open it. Help Please.

Looking at the specs for the DP-8035 the PCL and Postscript print kits are options. If your copier is only using the default GDI printer kit, then you may not be able to print from the Mac directly to the copier.
If the copier does have the Postscript kit then you will be able to use the Generic Postscript driver included with OS X. If it has the PCL kit and not the Postscript then you can use the Generic PCL Laser driver included with OS X.

HP C4200 All-in-One Series Printer/Copier/Scanner

My All-in-One 4200 HP Printer, Copier, Fax machine continues to waste paper and prints alignment pages almost every time I print a document.
I believe you would agree that this feature needs to be turned off and is very annoying. Other than constantly pressing cancel, please tell me what I can do to stop this from happening?
Thank you
Dale Kozek

Hi blanche2,
I understand you are inquiring if you have the proper software CD for your printer. Yes you do. A printer much like a car has a series that contains a base model and a few others. By adding different features and options to the base model it will create a different model number under that original series. The base driver will be the same for all the printers, but each model will have certain extras. Also different store chains will be assigned a different model number in that series depending on the promotions that are offered at that particular chain.
I hope this helps, let me know.
Thank you,

All in One Printer/Scanner/Copier/Fax Recommendations

Hi,
I'm looking to purchase an all in one printer/scanner/copier/fax device. I was wondering what recommendations other people have. The main purpose would be to print photos, scan photos and some small business office printing. Note, a fax would be nice, but is not absolutely neccessary.
Scanning photos would be important, since I plan to scan our family's photo albums into iPhoto.
Also, is there a printer than can communicate with the Mini using bluetooth? If so , does it work well?
Since I have limited desk space, size would be an issue (smaller the better).
Looking to spend about $200, slightly more if the cost justifies itself. Less is always better.
Thanks in advance!

The Brother MFC-420cn
http://www.brother-usa.com/MFC/ModelDetail.aspx?ProductID=MFC420CN
does everything you ask for less than $100 -- except bluetooth.
The Pluses: Good Mac software. Cheap ink. Networkable.
The construction is flimsy plastic, but if you are gentle it will hold up.
Definitely small footprint.
Paper path is 180 degrees, which is not my preference.
Personally, I prefer Epson all-in-ones. Also good Mac software and 80 degree paper path for less jamming. Exceptional scan quality.

However, nothing happens.
Does anyone have a suggestions?

Same problem here. Already got it replaced with a refurb machine three times. Was fine for a while, then it started the same problem again. Any idea, before I toss it out of the window?

My officejet 4500 g510n-z wont print faxes or from copy or scan. It prints perfect from computer.

my officejet 4500g510n-z suddenly wont print incoming faxes, or from copy or scan. It prints perfectly from computer. it also wont print fax reports or test pages. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing with software disc, still no go.what do i need to do please?

Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. Let's us 192.168.1.100 for your printer.
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway and first DNS. Leave the second one blank.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

HP Officejet Pro L7780 Print,Copy,Scan,Fax

We have used the HP L7780 as a stand-alone copier (not connected to a computer or a network).
We are now ready to donate the unit, which still works well, but are concerned that its internal memory (or disk drive) may store images of copied data which is sensitive information.
How can we erase/overwrite that memory without destroying the operating system?
We want the printer/copier to be functional for the new owner.
This question was solved.

Hi TechUserOKC,
If you have only used the printer as a stand-alone copier without connecting it to a computer or network then you don't have to worry about images or data being stored in the unit. However, if you have faxed with this machine there is a chance images from faxes could be stored and saved in the internal memory. In this case you would need to restore the factory defaults on the printer.
Let us know if this helps.

Link to Windows 8.1 Printer (Fax, Copy and Scan) Drivers for OfficeJet 4500 G510n-z

Hello:
Need to know where I can find updated drivers for my OfficeJet 4500 G510n-z printer. I am using Windows 8.1 operating system.
I have tried using the link at HP, but at the point that it supposedly gets to the install window, it asks me to insert the disc that came with the printer. When I do that, I still get an error message saying something like "the link cannot be found." I also get another message at some pont indicating that the full version needs to be uploaded. Then, the same process starts all over again. I should add that the printer disc says that it is compatible with XP, Windows 7 and other earlier versions, but not 8 or 8.1
I have tried this 6 or 7 times with the same result. Dell (the company from which I bought the laptop) was useless and suggested I contact HP.
I can no longer scan, either, because the computer isn't recognzing that the printer has a scan function, so when I go to use PaperPort 12 to scan stuff, it doesn't recognize that a printer is attached.
Any help resolving these problems would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

HP LaserJet 1536dnf MFP will not copy or scan but does print

My HP LaserJet 1536dnf MFP will not copy or scan but does print. It does not matter if I use the ADF or the glass. When copying or scanning I get a completey black page. The light bar does move from one end of the printer glass to the other. There are no connectivity issues as the printing function and the e-print function work fine.
Thank you for your help

Hi @akb3,
I understand that when you try to scan or copy, you are getting a black page. I can help you with this.
Please keep the scanner lid open and then press the copy button.
Check if the scanner bulb glows.
Check if the scanner moves freely across the glass.
If it does not try connecting the printer directly to the wall jack and try again.
Update the printer's firmware if the bulb glows and scanner moves freely. HP LaserJet Pro M1536dnf Multifunction Printer Drivers.
If the issue persists, then I would recommend to call HP Tech Support for further assistance to see what other options are available for you at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region please click the link below to get the support number for your region. Contact HP Worldwide.

HP Officejet 4620 won't copy or scan but will print

My HP Officejet 4620 all in one printer won't copy or scan, but it will print. When trying to scan, my computer first shows a window "preparing to scan" then it changes to a window "scanner unreachable". When trying to copy the printer indicates "now copying page 1/1" but it never produces a copy. The light never goes across the flat glass, photographing the image to be scanned or copied.

Hello @Alan_Mc,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand when you scan a document it states scanner unreachable and you cannot copy a document either. I will do my best to assist you! I would recommend following this entire HP document on A 'Scanner Unreachable' or 'An error occurred while scanning' Message Displays when Scanning on the ....
Since you cannot copy a document either, there might be something wrong with the scanner glass. Also, the light doesn't appear. If so, then follow this entire HP document on A 'Scanner Failure' Message Displays on the All-in-One Control Panel and You Cannot Scan, Copy, or F...
I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!

Having difficulty scanning and copying on Office jet 6500A plus. Prints fine. Scans and copies are illegible and contain hundreds of vertical lines. I did all of the various cleaning tasks suggested.

Having difficulty scanning and copying on Officejet 6500A Plus. Prints fine. Scans and copies are illegible with hundreds of verticle lines on the page. I did all of the various cleaning and restart suggestions, but still doesn't work.

In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

C5280 prints black page when copying and scanning

Can anybody help please.
C5280 prints a black page when I want to copy or scan but it prints ok from the computer. The light seems to be working on it. I am unable to reinstall with the disc as the CD drive is not working now. Does it need to be reinstalled.
Thanks for any help possible.

Hi @Dani77 ,
I see by your post that you are getting a black page when copying and scanning from the printer. You can print fine and you updated the HP software, the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet and you have the same results.
I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
I wasn't sure whether you just updated the printer software on the printer or the firmware.
If you haven't already, please update the printer's firmware. HP LaserJet Pro M1536dnf Multifunction Printer Drivers.
Disconnect the USB or Ethernet cable from the printer.
Make sure the printer is still connected directly to a 3 prong wall outlet.
Try making a copy with a blank sheet.
If the output is blank, then try and copy a text document.
I will send you another step to try in a private message.
In the forum beside your handle name just click on the envelope to view it.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet)
Please let me know the outcome.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Problem getting scan of pix from printer/scanner/fax machine

Long used P E to get pix scanned by printer/scanner/fax. Then I bought a slide scanner and installed, and PE brought in slides scanned by separate machine. Disconnected slide scanner. Now whenI try to get pix scanned by printer/scanner/fax, it says it "Can't find the slide scanner" and SHUTS DOWN. How can I reset PE to get the scanned pix from the printer/scanner/fax again. It has no trouble going to the printer/scanner/fax to print pix.
Cindi

Open Organizer and on the top menu click Edit à Preferences à Scanner
I tried the website and help searching for scan, I have had every PE since
2 and have 48,000 pix in my catalogue, so I'm pretty knowledgeable about
the program. I also searched under file. I usually go to Get photos and
thought it should give a choice under scanner there. Never thought to go to
Edit and Preferences.
