Scanner on L7780 printer

The scanner software will not load when installed with HP installer wizard.  I have download the software many times and nothing seems to work. It say HP Photosmart needs to be reloaded. I have done that many times does not work. Print and Scan Dr.  does not help either .  Also the soft ware hang up in installing the full ver. from HP when it gets to anything to do with the scanner software. Scanner works if i use the front panel on the printer.  Just not from the computer. I have windows 8.1 on one computer and windows 7 pro on another system.  Have searched the web and found that this is a none problem and no one seems to have a fix.

  • HT3669 HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One Version 3.2.1 does not work on iMac 20-inch, Mid 2007. Only recognizes scanner not USB printer.

    HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One Version 3.2.1 does not work on iMac 20-inch, Mid 2007. Only recognizes scanner not USB printer.
    I would like to print via the USB connection instead of wireless (the wireless does work, and the scanner works via USB).
    I tried connecting the printer directly (via USB) to my MacBook Pro laptop and it worked just fine.
    How can I make this printer work on my iMac?
    I spent 4 hours on the phone with HP and we did every combination of installation of drivers ad nausum and their bottom line is that it is a Mac problem.
    Any help would be appreciated. Will be sending this printer back to Amazon if I can't make it work on the USB.
    I am open to questions or suggestions
    Thanks,
    Chet

    After 4 hours on the phone with HP and another hour with Apple (Mavericks support) no real solution other than check everything (removed everything from Login Items, removed all HP software anywhere in the system reboot, reinstall printer) then when nothing worked for the 4500, did an OS Reinstall (boot with CMD+R).
    The Mavericks support group did open an incident (# 542875311) and I will update it when I figure out how to find it on the system.
    My feel is that the base problem is that somewhere between the HP-Inkjet-SW-OSX-Mavericks_v12.34.49-2 package and the Apple HP Printer software in the Library (version 2.16.1) the app for printing via the USP Port just does not get installed for the mid 2007 20 inch iMac. The scanner is recognized on the USB Port and the Printer works fine on Wi-Fi. I have too many devices to burden my home network with anothe device. Also, every time I put any HP Printer on Wi-Fi, my router (Netgear N600 WNDR3400 running 12 to 20 devices depending on who is home) gets wonky (but that's anothe story...).
    Additionally, when I attach the HP Envy 4500 to my MacBook Pro (2010) it works perfect - print and scan via the USB prot and both functions show in the System Preferences - Printers and Scanners just as expected and just as the 3050 does.

  • How can I get my IMac to recognise the scanner part of the HP printer/scanner?  It prints!

    How can I get my iMac to recognise the scanner part of the HP printer/scanner?  It prints!@

    I had a similar problem right after the first update to 10.6.7, which happened to quite a few people.  It took a couple of software updates and then an HP printer update to fix it.  So make sure that all your software updates are up to date.   Mine is an older printer: C6280 All-in-one but scans fine now that my mac recoginises it.  You might want to check on the HP site also.
    It was really frustrating because it had worked fine before.

  • HP L7780 Printing - Two-sided and Multiple pages

    The HP L7780 printer is capable of printing two-sided pages and multiple pages per page (e.g. two-up on a single sheet). This works just fine with my WIndows XP systems, but not with my BRAND NEW Pro! I've installed the latest drivers from HP ... any help here?

    Is any of this helpful?

  • HP Support Assistant Uninstalls L7780 printer

    I have a HP Officejet L7780 connected wirelessly to my HP TouchSmart 600 (Windows7 64-bit). I’m running the Full Featured OfficeJet software dated 1/15/2010.
    Each time the HP Support Assistant runs it finds no pending actions. However, it removes my L7780 Printer. The printer does not show up in the Device & printers or any printer drop down boxes. The L7780 FAX is still there. Every time the Support Assistant summary shows up (This morning was the latest) when I boot my computer I check the Device & printer and sure enough the Printer is gone, but the FAX is still there.
    When I look at the Support Assistant it shows red X (dated 4/17/2010, 5/10/2010, and 8/2/2010) for the “Cannot find scanned image or document after scanning critical update”. However, if I download and attempt to install the update I get a dialog stating “This update does not support any HP device drivers that you have on your PC. You do not need this software update.”

    I've come to the end. I don't know what to do. The printer has never given me any problems except every time I get an update, it stops working off my computer. It works fine by itself, but the wireless connection to my computer is weird in the past I've had to uninstall all the software and then reinstall and everything will work fine until I get an update and I have to go through it all over again. This time, that didn't work the wireless Wizard keeps saying invalid WPA passphrase I checked thoroughly, I've got the right passphrase off the back of the router. I don't know what else to try if anyone knows what to do about this. I would sure appreciate it.
    Thanks

    Hi there Ira Fletcher,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below. Note: While the article was written for printer issues, many of the same troubleshooting steps apply to scanners as well.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909a wired network to 2Wire i38HG- Scanner not found, Printer fine

    Hello everyone,
    I've seen multiple posts & good support regarding this error, however most seem to be in response to wireless & I am using mine wired to the 2Wire i38HG modem/router (supplied by AT&T Uverse Internet) on the 2nd port. Perhaps that's why I'm still stuck? Worked fine on my old router so I'm sure that's where the problem lies as well.
    I have tried all of the guided uninstall, reinstall. Tried with min/max software loads. I have also tried assigning a static IP via manual setup on both 192.168.1.60 & .200, same issue. (verified .60 in router page, it saw printer, but computer {Windows 7 64bit} still did not see scanner). This is affecting both my wired desktop & our laptop on wireless (laptop is Win 7 32 bit).
    I also did try the Print/Scan Doctor, & internal Guided solution, same circle, same issue.
    And... I'm guessing it's not going to help, but in the Win 7 error popup screen, the extended error information is
    8, [(1, 0, -2147221496)]
    Hoping for some advise to solve this, thank you!

    Consolidated, where's the delete? 

  • 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.

  • MP460 scanner reset to printer

    My MP460 printer is now recognized as "scanner" by my Mac (System 10.6.8) after I recently scanned some documents and now when i want to print, my Mac  doesn't recognize the printer, only a scanner device, and returns a message "Printer offline" and I don't know how to remedy this situation so I get my printer back!  Help!!

    Hi,
    yes, I was able to change the format to landscape using
    att name                             att value
    S_LZPL_SETUP     '^FWR'
    This command was on the first window(just once)  and that window and every subsequent window rotated 90deg.
    the windows need to be set up accordingly.  This was messy. 
    hope this helps

  • Printer L7780 printing magenta when it supposed to be cyan

    Something certainly is NOT right, the printer has been working correctly for more than 4 years suddenly in place of Cyan it print in Magenta.
    I check the cartridge color is correct that is Cyan but it always printing Magenta.
    I have tried many things but do not resolve the problem, I conclude this must be a software that always use Magenta cartridge for Cyan and Magenta.
    This does not come immediately, first it shows some Magenta where Cyan supposede to be so it is a mix between Cyan and Magenta, then one day it print correctly in Cyan but thereafter to date all Cyan and Magenta always print in Magenta.

    Hello oemar01,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    It appears to me that the L7780's printing issues magenta in place of cyan is caused by the printhead. This printer as four cartridges and two printheads, black / yellow and magenta / cyan.
    Check out this troubleshooting guide: Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues, it will have you printing a Print Quality page. If the issue is still present on this page, keep using this to troubleshoot the issue.
    If needed, you could buy replacement printheads from the Home & Home Office Store.

    MX 922 quick menu shows up as scanner but not as a printer. It doesn't show up in drop down menu in tools.
    So I can't print from Canon appications. Mac - Yosimite

    Hi COGO,
    You can try reinstalling the printer using the latest drivers from the Canon USA website to get the printer to show up in the Quick Menu.  Prior to reinstalling, please close the Quick Menu and restart your Mac.  Once your Mac is restarted, please click here to go to the Drivers and Software page for the PIXMA MX922.  Once on the initial download page for your model, please do the following:
    1. Verify that the operating system detected in the "OPERATING SYSTEM" drop-down menu is correct, and if it is not, please click the drop-down menu to select your operating system.
    2. Next, please click on the red arrow next to the "RECOMMENDED FOR YOU" section and click the CUPS drivers file. When you do, a red DOWNLOAD button will appear. Please click on the checkbox below the DOWNLOAD button, then click the red DOWNLOAD button to begin the download.

    Most of the features in my new printer are not functioning probley. The scanner does not work at all. Whether I'm using th wireless network or the printer is connected with UBS. Wireless printing is not working too.  I don't know what to do. I tried to contact the customer support, but in order to do that, I had to provide the serial number. I put the number, but it said that they're unable to identify the serial number. Listed below all the information pf my frustrating printer.

    Hi Alsahafi,
    I mention they were unable to verify the serial, was this a new in box printer?

  • HP L7780 Prints Reversed Images

    I have a one year old Sony Vaio computer with Windows Vista.  Recently, Windows updated my operating system with Service Pack 3.  Since then, my printer (HP L7780 All-in-One) sometimes prints reversed images.  I do not know if this is caused by Service Pack 3 or not.  My printer operates wirelessly.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I might fixthis?  Thanks.
