Scanning from all-in-one printer to Elements

I have a Dell 4000 desktop computer, running Windows 7, 32-bit version, an Epson Stylus SX515W all in one printer/scanner etc, and Photoshop Elements 6. I am told that I cannot scan from my Epson scanner to Elements 6, and that I will need Photoshop Elements 10 to do this.
1. Is this correct?
2. If so, do I have to buy a full version of Elements 10, or can I buy an upgrade?
3. If only an upgrade is needed, what is it called, what will it cost and where can I download it from?
4. If I have to buy the full version of Elements 10, will I need any other software to get it to scan images from my Epson Stylus SX515W?
5. Where do I have to look to find your reply?
Best wishes

Hi Nick,
First of all I would like to inform that PSE 6 is not tested on Win 7 and is very old version.
In order to scan from PSE, you will need Twain plugin which is required to scan from within Adobe Applications.
To check if you already have twain or not, follow this :
Navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 6.0\Plug-Ins\Import-Export\
If you find a file called "Twain", then you should be able to scan, if not then you have to download Twain from here : http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4688&fileID=4376
Save the file, unzip it and then follow these steps :
Close PSE 6.
After that , navigate to PSCS5OptionalPlugins_Win_en_US\PSCS5OptionalPlugins_Win_en_US\Optional Plug-Ins\Win32, here you will find Twain_32.8BA file
Copy this file and then paste under : C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 6.0\Plug-Ins\Import-Export\
Launch PSE 6 and check if you get the option to scan under File >> Import menu
If the above solution doesnt work, then you may have to ugrade to PSE 10.
The price for upgrade is $79.99 and full price is $99.99
You can purchase full and upgrade both from Adobe.com website
Thanks,
Baljeet

SAP faxing from all-in-one (printer/copier/scanner/fax) device

Hi,
We have a all-in-one printer/copier/scanner/fax (Ricoh Aficio 3025) and would like to make use of it to send fax from SAP.
I know how to set it up as a printer. But how should I go about setting it up to send fax?
Can someone help?
Thanks in advance.
Edited by: Sisab Nimda on Jan 8, 2009 2:38 PM

You can't just set it up as a fax... you need a fax server in order to send faxes (I.E. Rightfax)... basically the way it works is that you create a node in SCOT for faxes and send the data to the fax server via SMTP and the fax server deliver the fax to your hardware.
Check the SMTP guide,

8500A Plus Scan from all-in-one to Mac over wireless only possible?

I have spent most of the morning reading over the various Forum questions and answers regarding my issue but nothing seems to have addressed my issue directly, perhaps what I want to do is not possible. I'm trying to scan to my Mac (Yosemite 10.10.1) from my Officejet Pro 8500A Plus (referred hereafter as "Officejet") over my wireless network without have to connect to my USB.
Scenarios
A) When I have the Officejet connected to my Mac via USB, when I hit the touchpad Scan -> Computer it shows my Mac and works just fine, and it lists my Windows desktop as "Computer Not Listed".
B) When I have the Officejet connected to my Windows Desktop via USB, when I hit the touchpad Scan -> Computer it shows my Windows Desktop and works just fine, and it lists my Mac desktop as "Computer Not Listed".
C) When I have the Officejet connected to neither computer via USB, when I hit the touchpad Scan -> Computer it doesn't show either computer as an option to scan to and says "No Computer Detected" and has some instructions but they don't help me with my Mac, and for the Windows Desktop it tells me to "Activate Scan to Computer" but when I try to do that, my Windows desktop tells me "Communication cannot be established with the printer".
My main goal is to be able to scan to my Mac from my Officejet via my wireless network, with a secondary goal of doing the same with my Windows Desktop. But right now it only seems to work with one or the other if connected by USB. Is it possible to send a scan to my Mac from the Officejet over the wireless network without having to connect it to my compter via USB?
Your help is much appreciated!

Hello,
Thanks for posting your queries on forum,
Scenarios A, B and C holds good with the product functionality, when the printer is connected via USB cable it will detect only the computer to which its connected and not the other computer.
For you to scan to both the computer yes you can install the printer on wireless network, I dont have the printer here with me but will try my best.
Install all the three devices(Mac, Windows and Printer) to the same network
for Yosemite we dont have the full feature driver available so i would like you to perform Apple Software Update and install the HP Printer driver Version 3.0.
You can also download it from the standalone link " http://support.apple.com/kb/dl907 "
For Mac go to Printers and Scanners>> Click on the (+)symbol>>Add Printers or Scanners
An Add window opens up>> Select your printer(Bonjour multifunction) >> At the bottom under USE section select the HP 8500A printer driver>> Click Add.
It will download and install the required driver
on the Printers and Scanners window>>Select the Printer that we added >> Click on Options & Supplies>> Check if you have Utility Tab.
If yes click on the same>> Open Printer Utility and enable Scan to computer.
Now check on the front panel if it displays your Mac.
Install full feature software for windows and Activate scan to computer on your windows machine and it should display the both computer name on front panel of the printer.
I tried the above steps on my Envy Printer and it works.
Thanks

E-mail from all in one printer

When I try to e-mail a scanned document directly from my HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 wireless A909g it gives me the following message: "Cannot find the remote server. Check server name or use IP address to connect." I have no idea what it means or how to begin to fix it. Any help would be appreciated.

It is possible that the printer and the network are not communicating with each other properly. I would power cycle the printer and router to try and correct the scan issue that you are having with the scan function.
If you are connected by Ethernet, disconnect the cord from the printer. Otherwise if wireless, just start following the steps listed below.
Unplug the router from the wall outlet ( most do not have an on/of switch)
Power down printer using power button.
Wait 30 seconds,
Plug router back in and wait for it to be fully up and functioning.
Turn printer back on and once it completes process reattempt scan.
I hope that this helps.

Scan Control from HP 1210 All in one Printer/Scanner

I now have Macbook with OS 10.6.8.
Used to have 10.4.11
We have an HP 1210 All in one printer/scanner.
With 10.4 there was a very clear and user friendly utility provided by HP that enabled good scan control.
It enabled multiple choices of destination filetype and multiple pages scanned into a single document.
Now I have 10.6.
I have done S/W update both with printer connected and disconnected.
I have been offered and have downloaded the latest version of s/w from HP.
Nowhere on my Mac is there a file that has any name like HP, Hewlett Packard or PSC or 1210
The utility is there somewhere because I can print, and, if I have the printer active, I can use the utility to check ink levels etc.
However the ONLY scan facility is the Mac IMage Capture.
This only does single pages and only scans to jpeg.
What do I have to do to get my full scan control facility back and active as provided by HP

steve.br wrote:
However I repeat, There is no s/w that the system can find that is labled HP, Hewlett or PSC or 1200. Not in applications or Utilities or anywhere I can see.
If I use the Finder File Find utility I can search for files with any of those attributes and nothing related is found.
Path should be HD/Library/Printers/hp
Within the hp folder are several folders with one titled "Utilities" and within that folder is the application HP Utility
Path HD/Library/Printers/hp/Utilites/HP Utility
Since it's to be accessed from the System Preferences Print & Fax tab/pane/icon or within Image Capture, that is why those files are not in the Applications folder nor Utilities folder. It is not to be launched directly, i.e., double clicked. Be careful accessing files in the main Library folder (i.e., HD/Library/).
FYI: I have all those folders on all my computers each using a different OS even though the only HP printer I use is a 1995 Laserjet 4MV.
I Have just done a test using the SystemPreferences Printer area and get sent to the Image capture function.
So, that was after clicking the Scan tab in System Preferences > Print & Fax? It's most likely using the HP Software that you noted downloading in your original post. It is not using some phantom software.
I want to be able to save a multiple page document file in .pdf format.
I use Acrobat Professional to scan as PDF with a Brother multifuction device that is equiped with a 30 page auto document feeder (ADF). Since the HP 1210 is a flat-bed scanner, it seems that your wish can be achieved by scanning and saving each page as separate documents and then combining those documents. I cannot remember whether Apple Preview in 10.6.x offers combining PDFs but there are a number of freeware and shareware apps that can.
Is there a conversion capability that would convert from .jpeg to .pdf
Apple Preview, Adobe Photoshop, GraphicConverter are just a few apps that come to mine.
Thanks for your help.
You're welcome. A lot has changed since Mac OS 10.4.11. Hope the above helps too.

I am unable to scan using the hp office jet pro 8500 wireless all in one printer from an I-MAC

I have a new I-MAC OS Lion computer and an older HP Officejet Pro 8500 wireless all-in-one printer, scanner, fax, photo. I cannot scan, though I can print and I can fax. The error message says I must be connected to the network, and yet I am connected. The only diagnostic tool available is for MS systems only. Help???

Hi,
Make sure to use any scan method available for Lion.
If you have the HP Scan application installed, be aware that the used software version is not intended for Lion.
Please follow the steps below to find what scan methods may be used on the OS:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01910186&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=3752459
If there is still any problem while trying to scan, also make sure to install the latest HP Printer Driver 2.9 by clicking the Apple icon and then Software Update.

All in One Printer no longer scanning (C5280)

I have an oldish printer/scanner that was working fine until I downloaded the update that came from HP on Aug. 13th. Since then, I cannot scan. I got an error message that the machine was disconnected from the computer which made no sense since I can print from the computer just fine. I did all the things the error message suggested: rebooting, disconnecting the cable, redownloading the driver. The machine worked for about 5 pages of the scan after the redownload, then conked out again.
I saw some directions about going into the registry editor window but they were for Windows 7 and below. I have Windows 8. I did not see a folder for Digital Imaging in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/H-P
If there are updated directions for Windows 8, pleae let me know.
I have an All in One Printer (C5280)

Hello @Toonces , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are experiencing scan issues. I would like to try and help.
I would suggest Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once it is uninstalled, I would suggest putting your system into clean boot mode within the Microsoft configuration. You can do so by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Once the computer is in clean boot mode, I would suggest reinstalling the HP Photosmart C5200 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Driver question - my all in one printer will print but not scan

Hi
I have an HP c4280 (you know, the all in one printer you could get for free with the mail in rebate in 2007). I just plug it in and my mac recognizes it as a printer, and it prints fine, but image capture does not recognize it as a scanner. Before I upgraded to leopard I had all of HP's stupid software installed but after upgrading to leopard it didn't work (surprise). A lot of other things didn't work either so I did an erase and install and now everything works beautifully (I feel like I have old Tiger back, but better). However, I do not want to install HP's stupid overbloated and highly unnecessary mountain of software on my nice new clean system (I have turned into kind of an apple-only purist I guess ^_^). I checked HP's website and all they have is the same ginormous software bundle for download, and the installation wizard does not allow the option to install only components of the software (its all 28 programs or nothing). So, my question is, does anybody know where I can find only the driver I need (or WHAT driver I need) to make this printer compatible with image capture so I can scan?

You need to download the full featured driver from the HP site, and it also seems HP has an update for the Leopard installation as well.

Hi @EslamHassan
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I gather that you have a question regarding the HP All-in-One Printer Remote app.
The LaserJet M127fw printer is not a supported printer for the HP AiO app. I have included the HP Printers and Supported Mobile Printing Solutions document for reference.

IMac will not recognize scan function of all in one printer

My 24" iMac will print on the HP Photosmart 3210xi All in One, but will not scan.
Twice, (to ensure I didn't miss anything) I have run the manual un-install procedures prescribed from HP, and installed the appropriate driver for Mac with no success.
When I try to scan, the scanner wants to begin, but the computer displays the message, "Sorry, scanner could not be initialized. (Scanner not found.)" We have the correct driver (Not the Print only option).
This printer still works "full-up" on the clunker PC, so it's not a hardware issue with the printer.
Any others with similar all-in-one issues? Solutions?

I had the same problem with my HP Photosmart 2610xi All In One Printer. I went to the HP website and downloaded the full feature software/drivers and now it works great. Below is the software that you should download for your printer...hope it works for you!

Scanning on my c5280 all in one printer-scanner-copier

since purchasing my lap running windows 8.1 I have been unable to scan from my all in one printer to my pc. all it allows you to do is to scan the document to a memory card or reprint the image

Hello , Welcome to the HP Community. I'd like to help you with the issue you are having scanning on your Windows 8.1 system with your HP Photosmart C5280 All-in-One printer. I would suggest installing the full feature software for your product. Fortunately, the full software suite is still available for download for your Windows 8.1 operating system. You can download the software here: HP Photosmart C5200 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver If the issue persists, I suggest trying to install the printer using the Windows Update. You can find all of the steps to do that here (under Step Two: Method Two): HP Single-Function and Multifunction Printers - The Printer Does Not Print in Windows 8 and is Listed as 'Unknown' or 'Unspecified' or Appears with a Yellow Triangle in the Devices and Printers Folder If you're still unable to scan after installing the printer using Windows Update, try downloading the HP Scan and Capture app from the Windows Store. Please respond to let me know if these suggestions helped to resolve your issue!

HP Deskjet 3520 e-All in one printer trouble with scanning network, connection and very slow print

Dear all
I bought two days ago HP Deskjet 3520 e-All-in one printer serie, but i have some really bad issues with the scanner! I have searched on the internet and i couldn’t find anything to solve the problem.
I have installed the printer according to the book of the printer, so everything did go well(i think), except that i can’t connect the scan to my computer, a Mac OS X (i am connected with the printer). I get directed to the website where i can connect the scanner, but every time i try to connect it with wi-fi, i get two notification, one from my computer (from HP Itility (Dutch) program) that the connection is off and second from the website that i have to make sure that i’m connected with internet (which i am) and to check the IP address if it is the same with my computer (which is the same).
Obesely something did go wrong, but i can’t find the problem.
Beside when its copy or prints a document (no matter how many pages) it’s very slow. It takes 10 -15 minutes till the printer starts. Has it something to do with the problem i’ve got with the scanner or is the printer always so slow? Because the very first time, when i installed the printer, it printed very fast.
By the way i also print the test-results to check if there is a problem, but according to test-results there are no problems at all.
I hope that someone recognize this problem and can help me to solve it.
Regards,
Esra

I was trying to scan a document using this new printer and my Mac OS Yosemite 10.10.1 and I cannot even find the page that allows me to scan since now it is all through the computer.

Hp 8600 All in one printer problem with scanning through wired network its very slow!

Hi
i have problem with scanning thru network which takes almost more than 2minutes very slow compared to scanning when printer connected locally with USB. i need some solution to fix this issue. Plz advise me what needs to be done prior to scanning?

Welcome to the community @Larrypat
I understand your printer is not connecting wireless and only connecting USB. I have some questions and ideas for you that should help. Let's get to it!
Could you please remove the USB cable, run the Print and Scan Doctor again and send me a screen shot of the results from running the diagnostic tool?
Also let me know which model from the C7200 series you have:
HP Photosmart C7250 All-in-One Printer
HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One Printer
HP Photosmart C7288 All-in-One Printer
Try power cycling the network devices:
Turn off the printer and computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press any buttons on the router).
Plug the router back in and wait another minute, next turn on the printer and computer. Run the Print and Scan Doctor afterwards and try printing.
Let me know how it goes and the results
