Scan app does not find 4625 sacnner / printer in windows 8.1

I posted a while ago that I could not install the printer / scanner software on my laptop runningWindows 7.1  because it would not recognise my printer, although
1. I provided the correct IP address when asked by the installer
2. The installer worked perfectly on my  desktop PC
3. I could see my printer/scanner with this IP address on my home wifi network in my browser
4. I could install the printer functionality  (but not the scanner)  over the wifi through Windows by searching and selecting from its list of HP drivers
So I gave up after trying many times over many days.
Subsequently. I  have upgraded to Windows 8.1.  The HP installer still does not work. But by letting Windows automatically find the printer (only) driver over the network I can (as before) print to a thing called HP Deskjet 4620 Series Class Driver.
Now I see Windows 8.1 has a separate App for the HP scanner called also HP Deskjet 4620 Series Class Driver. This, as before, cannot connect to the scanner. But:  this is interesting.  While trying unsucessfully  to connect, it displays an IP address for this HP Deskjet 4620 Series scanner which is different from the printer IP Address. (It is not a valid IP address on my network, I looked though my browser). It seem to me that if I could somehow change the scanner IP address to the correct one, the scanner would work.
Any ideas?

Hello Mikets ,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having connectivity issues with the scanning portion of the printer.
I suggest we try the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Write me back and let me know if this helped or not.

  • My iMac does not find my wifi printer or my Chromecast.

    My iMac does not find my wifi printer or my Chromecast. I was able to ping the chrome cast and printer and I'm able to connect to these devices with my windows computer, iPhone and iPad. I have OS X 10.9.2. I'm able to print by setting up the printer using the IP address that was assigned by my router instead of letting my iMac do the finding. It seems that the iMac either does not like the info that is receiving or something is blocking the signal (other than the firewall, which is off). Could someone have an idea what the issue might be?

  • I pad does not find my AirPrint printer even though it prints the printer test page okay

    My XP 400 Epson AirPrint printer is installed on my I Pad 2.  The I pad requested that a test page be printed after printer installed and the printer printed the test page. When I want to print a web page or a text document the I pad cannot find an AirPrint printer.  What can be done to correct this error.

    Dick-
    The XP-400 is listed on Apple's list of AirPrint printers, so it should work as soon as you pair it with your WiFi.  No other printer installation is involved.  I assume your XP-400 has the latest updates from Epson.
    Are you using an Epson printing App, by any chance?  The Epson printing App does not use AirPrint, it uses the printer's native printing language.  Other Apps on the iPad can not print via the Epson App.
    In other words, something else is keeping your iPad from seeing the printer.  One cause might be that your WiFi router does not correctly handle Bonjour data required by AirPrint.  If that is your problem, contact the router's manufacturer to see if there is a change in its setup or a firmware update that will solve the problem.

  • Iphone and ipad does not find the airprint printer

    After I upgraded my iphone and ipad I lost my airprint function. Ipad and Iphone does not find the airprinter. The printer is a HP Photosmart 5520, and it does work wireless with my Windows PC that is on the same nettwork.

    In our case the Airprint printers could not be found after IOS upgraded to 7.1.2, all was fine before then.  I have scoured the forums and many people have suffered the same problem.  All the solutions given are aimed at a domestic network with just a Wireless router.  They all involve restarting all the devices and rejoining the IOS devices to the wireless network.  Some people have had to do it multiple times before they regained use of the printers.
    In my case none of these work because I am talking about a business network with two wireless access points, several switches and a router.  To prove it is the IPads I have installed Bonjour onto a Windows PC (Bonjour is the technology used by Airprint).  This finds the printers perfectly so it is definitely something that was changed in the version of Bonjour on the IOS 7.1.2 that is causing all the problems.
    I was hoping that Apple would release another upgrade to IOS to fix this problem but it has been several weeks so far and nothing has emerged.
    So something that worked perfectly a few weeks ago is now dead in the water because of an update on the IPads!!!!!!!!

  • My ipad does not find my air printer all the time.

    Why is it that my mini ipad intermittently find my air printer ?

    1. Turn the router, iPad and printer off.
    2. Turn on the router and then wait 30 seconds to let it complete its start-up process.
    3. Turn on printer and then wait 30 seconds to let it complete its start-up process.
    4. Turn on your iPad and test print.

  • Deskjet 930c does not do double sided printing with windows 7

    We have just obtained a new machine with Windows 7 and connected the existing Deskjet 930c via a usb cable.
    Under windows XP it was possible to select double sided printing and a prompt was displayed on the screen to turn the paper round.
    This is not happening under windows 7. Is there something we have not done? Or is it not possible any more.
     It does go through the motion of double sided printing but does not stop to change the paper.
    Any ideas anyone - we do a lot of double sided printing and we hav spent hours trying to sort this out.

    Please look at the HP Support page,
    http://h10010.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00098827&lc=ja&dlc=ja&cc=jp
    Unfortunately, I could not find an equivalent page in English.  This is for Win XP and Vista, but I checked
    that a similar logic can be applied to Windows 7, too.
    step 1 to 3 is to show property of the printer Deskjet9xxC.
    step 4 is to select device setting tab
    step 5: change "installable option" from "uninstalled" to "already installed"
    step 6: OK
    step 7: select print setting
    step 8: select layout tab, and choose either long edge or short edge
    that is all.
    In my Japanese Windows 7 environment, when I double-click the "HP DeskJet 930C/932C/935C" icon, there are three sub items appeared.  Two out of these three were used in the above steps.
    Please try.

  • AIR app does not open anymore after minimizing on windows

    Hi guys,
    I need some help in figuring out a strange issue I am facing.
    I have an AIR app whih is minimizable. When I run it on windows XP and minimize it, it gets minimized. But
    clicking on the task bar does not open the app anymore. The task manager shows that the CPU usage for the app has gone upto 50%
    and it consistently stays over there with out recovering from it.
    Right clicking on it and then trying it to close shows me the windows dialog: "the program is not responding".
    MInimizing and re-opening works fine on MAC.
    Anyone has ideas on what might be happening? Suggestions or pointers on how to debug this?
    thanks,
    Sunil

    It turns out that in one of my UI components, the top level item was a VBox which was using a list of HBox components and the height of each HBox component was set to VBox height /5.
    I modified the height to be set to "100%" for each HBox.
    and everything worked fine.
    I really do not know how it can cause the application to hang earlier.
    thanks,
    Sunil

  • Preview.App does not find text in pure text pdf works in other PDF viewers

    Hi I am using reportlab an open source python based pdf generating package to generate pdf reports.
    The generated pdfs are searchable using Adobe acrobat and Google -Gmails built in pdf viewer . However in Preview.App the text seems to be only recognized as individual characters . For eg the text "hello world" will not match hello or world , but typing just h into the search bar will show up matched text as "h el l o" . So although visibly the text appears as a single word , semantically the words just seem to be composed of one or two characters.
    Only Preview.App seems to have a problem with the generated pdf. Adobe Acrobat ( Mac and Windows) , Google-Gmail pdf-view , Evince-Gnome-PDF viewer ( Linux) dont have any problem with finding the text in the PDF documents generated.
    I have a thread in the reportlab user forum discussing the issue (see http://two.pairlist.net/pipermail/reportlab-users/2009-August/008643.html). ANd the problem definitely seems to be with Preview.App . The pdf (sample see example text in corner) is available at this url ( http://s3.amazonaws.com/code-itch/searchtext.pdf)
    The app is targeted at scientist Mac users . And I want to have the pdf reports searchable and indexed by spotlight , so getting this working is very important for me.
    Your help is greatly appreciated
    Hari

    The posts on the reportlab newsgroup suggest that
    "> If the preview is actually rendering the pdf and then searching, the 0
    degrees case should be searchable. If that's the way the search is happening
    then it's no surprise that the search should fail if the rendered letters
    are at 90deg." -Robin Becker
    Test cases show that search fails completely at rotations of 90 , succeed partially at rotations of 45, succeed fully at rotations of 0.
    So , is there a way to prevent Preview from only searching the final rendered PDF. The pdf I am complaining about are searched fine in the many other PDF readers I tested that probably handle search differently.

  • When I restart my computer, it does not find my wireless printer

    I have installed the printer twice.  Each time I can print from any location wirelessly from my iphone and my laptop.  When I turn off my computer, upon restart neither can find the printer.  The printer has not been turned off.  The first time this happened, I went through all the steps on the help website, including resetting the wireless router, etc.  I even re-installed the printer. 

    The static IP address is on step 6 on the link below.

    There is no setting that will keep the printer from going into idle, sorry.

  • Vstest.console.exe does not find emulators on non-english windows

    Hi all,
    I am currently setting up my TeamCity build steps to build my app, deploy it to the emulator and then run unit and UI tests projects on it.
    For deploying, I use "AppDeployCmd.exe /install app.appx /targetdevice:6" where "6" is the ID of the emulator retrieved by "AppDeployCmd.exe /EnumerateDevices". This works well. The emulator is being started and the appx is
    deployed properly.
    For testing, I use "vstest.console.exe" together with a runsetting file which looks like the following:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <RunSettings>
      <MSPhoneTest>
        <TargetDevice>Emulator 8.1 U1 WVGA 4 inch 512MB</TargetDevice>
      </MSPhoneTest>
    </RunSettings>
    The device string is exactly the same which is printed by using "AppDeployCmd.exe /EnumerateDevices" and also visible in the Visual Studio selection.
    This works fine when using English as the primary system language of Windows. When using German, the emulator names are appended a "(DE)", so "/EnumerateDevices" and also Visual Studio display "Emulator 8.1 U1 WVGA 4 inch 512MB(DE)".
    For deployment, I use the index number which stays the same (6 in this example). For running the tests, however, neither "Emulator 8.1 U1 WVGA 4 inch 512MB" nor "Emulator 8.1 U1 WVGA 4 inch 512MB(DE)" are found by vstest.console.exe and
    an error is returned when using either string as the TargetDevice value in the runsettings file:
    Error: Could not start test run for the tests for Windows Phone app: The selected target device is not valid..
    I'm using the latest VS2013 tools with the latest WP8.1 SDK and already tried reinstalling everything.
    I'd appreciate if someone could help me running my tests on Windows with German system language.
    Thanks and best regards
    Sebastian

    Hi Nithak,
    thanks for your reply!
    As described above, deploying via AppDeployCmd works fine - I pass the ID/number which I received using /EnumerateDevices and then it works in both languages. The app is updated properly in the emulator and the next step in my CI progress would be to
    run the tests which require the app to be deployed.
    The problem is only vstest.console.exe where I pass a emulator name via the runsettings file.
    In my eyes there should be used IDs as well as neither "Emulator 8.1 U1 WVGA 4 inch 512MB(DE)" nor "Emulator 8.1 U1 WVGA 4 inch 512MB" are found by the tool.
    Best

  • LV DLL in C# app. does not work with 64bitXP, 32bit7, 64bit7 windows

    Thanks for taking time to read thru.
    Attached is a source code for
    - a simple Labview2009/2010 based DLL (child) . 
    - a simple Visual Studio2008 based C# container (parent) calling the above DLL
    Built this DLL (child) in 32bitWindowsXP.  
    The container  (parent) is built in 32 bit mode for x86. Hence container is succesfully launched on all 4 combinations. 32bitXP,64bitXP,32bit7,64bit7
    Container is cuccessfully able to launch C# based DLLs (which are built in 32 bit mode)
    When I call LabVIEW DLL (using icon on top left), following are results
    With 32bitXP......DLL launches cuccessfully
    With 64bitXP computer.......Application crashes
    With 32bitWin7 computer...Application crashes
    With 64bitwin7 computer....Application crashes
    Included PPT in the attachment shows picture of crash.
    Some background notes are:
    Same C# application successfully launches C# based DLLs in all 4 combinations of Oss
    .NET framework is 3.5, Visual Studio is 2008
    Got the repeatable crashing results when installed
    32bit LV run time engine on 64 bit machines
    64bit LV run time engine on 64 bit machines
    Got the repeatable crashing results when used LabVIEW2010.
    If made EXE (instead of DLL) it works in all 4 OS combinations with 32 bit RTEs.
    Looking for help
    - to identify why LabVIEW DLL crashing in above situation
    - to elliminate crash.

    Apologies if you've seen it all before, but you haven't explicitly mentioned deleting various folders before trying to reinstall.
    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • I have a virus on my iPad that sends out bogus emails to everyone in my contact list. I don't know where it came from (email, apps not from iTunes, etc) but it sits somewhere on my iPad. Does anyone know of a scanning app that will find and eliminate it?

    I have a virus on my iPad that sends out bogus emails (no subj and an URL that goes nowhere) to everyone in my contact list. I don't know how it got on my machine (email, non-iTunes apps, etc.) Does any one know of a scanning app that can find this virus and eliminate it? I have an iPad version 3 (WIFI) with 6.0.2 IOS. This scanner should be capable of running on my iPhone as well -- just in case it made it to to my other IOS machine. Thanks for your help! Steve

    The chances that it's a virus on your iPad or iPhone is very slim. Who is your mail provider? it's far more likely that your address has been spoofed and it's your mail service that has been compromised not your iDevice. I know my Yahoo mail was hacked and people in my address book received spam mails that I didn't send.
    have you changed the address on your e-mail account?
