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.

Multifunction Printer/Scanner/FAX machines and FAXing from the desktop.

I've got a Canon MP530 thanks to an Apple Bundle and after a lot of gyrations, it has come down to be that neither I, Canon, nor Apple can make this unit send or recieve FAXs from the desktop!
Apple seems to be "stunned" (better word than "clueless") about this lack of functionality. Canon's response is (literally) "Buy a PC."
I know I can do software that will let me FAX but but that is not an option at this point. I've got four machines who all can plug into the same printer/scanner/unit and there's no reason that this machine shouldn't be able to send a FAX for me.
So, I'm here posting this message wondering if anyone has purchased an "All-in-one" unit (preferably part of an Apple bundle) that supports printing from the computer, scanning to the computer, and FAXing to and from the computer and that they've actually used (themselves) and seen work.

Yes absolutely. I set it up last Fall and have been using it until last week, at whick time I lost wireless connectivity with router for no reason at all. I can not remember how to do it now and I am looking for the answer myself.
This link to an online chat on www.hp.com with a tech might help you.

I unfortunately upgraded my browser to IE8 last week and the chat support online does not support that browser. If you get an answer, I would appreciate it if you would post the answer on this thread so that I can re-learn it myself. Thanks. Good Luck.

Scanning multiple pages from print book into computer

How to scan multiple pages from print book into computer? Someone supplied a link to this question, but I got stuck at step 1: Where is "HP Director software"? In other directions, it says to open the "HP Scan window," but that option is not available to me when I follow the directions. I have an HP 2159m computer, HP Photosmart Plus all-in-one, Windows 7, and use Firefox, if that's any help.
TIA

I have a similar problem:
I am using an HP Officejet 6310xi via its TWAIN interface. Regardless of which application invokes TWAIN (whether Irfanview, Thumbs Plus, or something else), the scanner dialog closes after transferring each scanned image. To scan the next page requires re-starting the scanner, beginning with a whole new preview and re-entering all my scan settings. This is only an issue with the HP scanner, not with my Cannon CanoScan LIDE 100, Visioneer OneTouch 8920, or any other scanner, each of whose scanner dialogs stay open for scan after scan. Can anyone help me make the HP scanner dialog stay open for multiple pages?
Note: Based on a suggestion on another site I set my scan preferences to include "Prompt for Additional Scans from Glass" as follows, but it did not help.
I am experienced at scanning, but I find it extremely frustrating that the HP scan dialog closes, forgetting its settings, after each page.
If it helps others, I gladly share my article, "Freedom from Paper--At Last" here

I just hooked up my Canon MP830 printer/scanner/fax to my MAC and can print but can't scan. Anyone out there know what to do with this?

Have you downloaded the approriate Snow Leopard drivers for that printer? Make sure you get the appropriate and latest MP Navigator, as you start scans from the computer, not the all-in-one. Get them from http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mp_s eries/pixma_mp830#DriversAndSoftware

Power problem with my 4620 all in one printer / scanner / fax

Hi,
My problem is this. I have a 4620 all-in-one printer / scanner / fax. However, I have discovered this problem.
Scenario:
The printer hasn't been used for a day or two but is plugged in still with the light above the power cord on. I want to print a word doc or whatever. I click print. I obtain a message that the computer (via wifi) can't communicate with the printer. Pressing the Power on button on the printer interface doesn't work.
My solution, I have to disconnect the power supply from the printer, then reconnect and then press the Power On button.
This isn't normal I think. I don't think for one minute that I should have to go and disconnect and reconnect the power suppy for it to print etc.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance!!

How do you scan a document from printer to convert to PDF?

How do you scan a document from printer to convert to PDF?

Have the scanner connected to the computer.
Have the scanner software installed.
Check the scanner manufacturer's website for the most recent / updated drivers and install same.
Have Acrobat XI installed.
While Acrobat XI can make use of Windows WIA drivers Acrobat "likes" TWAIN drivers best.
So, if available, have the latest-greatest TWAIN.
Acrobat can communicate with the scanner via the scanner software.
An alternative --
Scan directly to TIFF. Then use Acrobat to create PDF from the TIFF.
Some scanners come with software to output to PDF directly; if present you could use that.
Be well...

How can get 40,000 pix from old computer restored by Carbonite to new computer into PE 11 or 12?

I bought a new, faster, more storage Windows 8 computer.
I had 40,000 pix on old computer tagged with names, event, location, date with PE 11. Also several projects involving hundreds of pix.
Carbonite restored all files (250 gig) from old computer to new, and their tech support says they all are on the new computer.
I bought the new PE 12 and installed it on new computer. It has only found 4,000 pix. I don't at all like PE 12 after enjoying PE2-11 and managing all my pix with it. PE11 was clearer in the pix presentation.
Apparently when imported to the new computer, I lost the tags that went to events, location, and the person tags did not separate family from friends etc. I can't even find my projects.
I was so frustrated with PE12, that I installed PE11, but everytime I try to open the Organizer, it doesn't open.
Help. I am so frustrated. I am pretty sure before I made the transition that I had written all tags to files. When I put PE11 on the new computer, why won't it give me what I had on the old.
This is probably my 10th generation computer change, and I never had such problems before with PE.

I am using 10 and 11 instead of 11 and 12. I tried to go back and edit,
but couldn't figure out how. Sorry, typing errorC.

How do a scan a file from my scanner and make it a PDF. . . . I do not see this choice in the Adobe program?

How do a scan a file from my scanner and make it a PDF. . . . I do not see this choice in the Adobe program?
In the past I would simply place a copy of the document on my scanner, then selected create PDF from scanner. However, there is now no create PDF from scanner alternative, option or choice. The only option available is selected file to convert to PDF. what am I to do?

That would have been a function of your scanning software. Adobe Reader is only used to view the pdf that your scanning software created.

Which Printer/Scanner/Fax

Can anyone recommend a good printer/scanner/fax that is compatible with my Powerbook G4? Right now I have the HP officejet 6110 all in one and the scanner does not work with my Mac (I had it when I used a PC) So I want to get a new printer/scanner/fax and want to know what is the best or a really good one that can doe everything (if it prints photos even better)
Thanks in advance....
Ellen

Any AIO with fax does not require the Mac to be turned on to send and receive hard copy faxes. If you wanted to send from your Mac then of course it would have to be turned on.

PS gets wrong paper dimensions from printer driver

Since yesterday I have trouble with PS CS5 und Mac OS X 10.7.5 as PS does not get correct paper dimensions from standard paper sizes or custom paper sizes from my Epson printer driver. Before yesterday I had no trouble, all went fine. Til Yesterday I printed mostly on roll paper, but yesterday I had to print on a A3+ sheet of paper and PS got in trouble and showed me instead of 32 by 48 cm of paper size than 42 by 59 cm in print dialog with preview. Thil than I have this behavior on all paper sizes but only in Photoshop CS5. All other Apps on my Mac which uses the Mac print dialog show me the correct paper dimenions.
Any help appreciated.

I bet that, if you check carefully and with almost pathological tenacity, you will find that the "odd" sizes are creeping into one of the settings in one of the dialog boxes but not in others.
When something happens to an application "suddenly", that's a clear size to nuke and re-set the preferences, but NOT manually. Use the key combo at launch.
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by manually deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here:

HP copier/printer/scanner/fax all-in-one The print screen on machine is lit but blank.

HP laserjet 8600 All-in-one. My print screen on machine is lit but blank. Unable to access prompts to operate. At times it will display home, right and left arrows and ? when touching those prompts it shifts from right to left but goes blank when touching other prompts
I am unable to print a copy because prompts don't appear on screen other than those mentioned.
I can print only from my computer

Hi there klf, welcome to the forums
I understand your display screen is blank on your printer. I would like for you to confirm which 8600 model you have and I will look into this for you.
In the meantime try a power reset:
Press the Power button to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
Tip: Plug the printer in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.

Just upgraded from 10.6.8 to 10.9.3 Mavericks. Just scanned files in Samsung Printer/scanner - where do scanned files go in my Mac? In old OS scans went to Library, then Pictures - not there now. Thank you.

Just upgraded to OS 10.9.3 from OS 10.6.8. Have 21.5" iMac Mid 2011; Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5; Memory 12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3; Storage capacity 499.25 GB; available 379.71 GB.
In the old OS 10.6.8 scans went to "Pictures" in Library. I can't find my scans anywhere.
My question is: Where do scanned documents get saved in Mavericks? I have Samsung Printer model SCX-4623F.

They should be in Pictures in your User's folder, but they could be on the Desktop.
Have you turned on Show Path bar and Show Status Bar for a Finder window? It's under View in the Menu bar. Turn these on.
Select the All My Files view in a Finder window.
Under Arrange, select Date Added.
Find a recent scanned item.
Click on item. You'll see the location in the path bar. For example:
