Scanning from HP 3030 to Mac OS 10.9.5

I am able to print from the mac 10.9.5/HP 3030
But when I open the mac system preferences to check the printer config, the scan option does not show.
How do I scan?

Hi @scanning8
I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as your HP Printer is a commercial model.
My technical expertise is with consumer products and software, I am sure the commercial folks would be happy to help if you re-post your question for them to answer. The HP Enterprise Business Community is an HP Forum designed for the Commercial and Enterprise customers to help one another. I am sure you will find some HP folks there to help too.
Click here to view the Printing and Digital Imaging. When the page opens you will see the option to 'Log in' or 'Register Now' on the right. The commercial forums are separate from the consumer boards, thus you will need to register if you don't already have a commercial account.
You may find the HP LaserJet 3030 All-in-One Printer support page helpful while you wait for somebody in the commercial Forum to respond to your inquiry.
Best of luck.

Location of Save Icon after Scan from HP 8600 to Mac

After scanning a doc from my HP 8600 via wifi to my Mac, I am prompted to save the doc by hitting the Save Icon. I cannot find the Save Icon. Where is it? I cannot find the scanned doc anywhere on my Mac. Suggestions please. Thank you.

Hi RickP777,
Welcome to the HP Forums! I gather that you cannot find the Save Icon while scanning with your HP Officejet 8600 to your Mac. I am happy to help you with this scanning issue! I have some questions for you:
What program are you using for scanning?
Are you scanning from the computer, or the printer?
What Mac OS X are you using? OS X: Finding your OS version and build information.
In the meantime, please take a look through the How to Scan guide for your Operating System. Scan.
Hope to hear from you, and thank you for posting!

All in One Printer C5180 stopped printing/scanning from mac 10.6.8

Hi
My All-in-One C5180 has stopped printing and scanning from mac 10.6.8. It had worked for the past few years but after not using it for 8 months (out of country) it hasn't worked since I came back. I have done as a few suggested, carried out a software update on mac and also downloaded a new driver from this site. Neither worked. The message appearing is " printer off-line" and the printer symbol has red exclamation mark.
Would really appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance
Anne

Correction to initial post: The 6 tiny sections incorrectly printed on a single sheet are actually from the bottom right-hand quadrant of the original PDF page - NOT the upper right-hand quadrant.

Can't scan from Pixma to Mac

Hi,
I have an ongoing problem with scanning from my Canon Pixma to my Mac Airbook. The printer scans, but the image is not made available on the computer - Image Capture says that 'no device is connected'.
Having done some internet research, I see that this may be a driver problem. I've followed advice and installed various drivers, bypassing Apple's gatekeeping systems to do so, but it makes no difference.
I've consulted Apple several times on this but they are unable to help. The latest advice - to uninstall the printer and re-install has had no effect, although I did notice that there was an option to select a particular driver, which I didn't do, not knowing which one to select.
Any thoughts please? It seems daft to have two of the highest-spec bits of kit available, but not be able to do something so basic.

I believe Image Capture is for cameras.
If you go to System Preferences>Printers and Scanners there should be a button for scanner.
Which printer are you using?

Best way to scan from office jet pro 8600 to mac pro and attach to email

What is the best way to scan from an officejet pro 8600 printer to a mac pro desktop, attach and scan?

dunno if you can do it directly, but, assuming the drivers are up-to-date, use Image Capture*, which should get you a scan, then save it, then when sending the email, click on the paperclip, and choose whatever it was that you scanned, wherever you saved it....
and then send it.
JB
*Preview might work, but I don't recall 100% if it does...
don't recall seeing anything that'd let you scan something in, then have it go directly to email and send it out, one-step

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.

Mac 10.9.4 : hp photosmart c4795. scan error. try scan from computer or see documentation. press ok

I have a Mac running Mavricks which the wireless printing works with my HP Photoshmart C4795 Printer but the wireless scanning to my Mac is not working. I am getting the error: "hp photosmart c4795. scan error. try scan from computer or see documentation. press ok"
It used to work. I've downloaded and installed the patch for Mavericks.
I have searched for other solutions but none are for a Mac to do a diagnostic test on the HP page.
Any solutions to make this feature work again?
Thanks!

Hi,
Scanning from the front panel is no longer available on Mavericks as there is no Full Feature Software for the operating system.
Using the provided solution, you may scan using Image Capture. preview or Printers & Scanners.
Below you may find the steps to scan on 10.9:

Scanning from my Officejet 6700 premium printer to a mac 10.9.3 wirelessly

Hello,
My new printer is connected wireless to my network. I can print and scan from the computer fine, but can't scan from printer to computer.
I tried going into the HP Utility folder to confirm the Scan Settings, but all I can do is scan from the computer. It doesn't give me another option.
I have an HP Office 6700 Premium trying to scan to my (new) Mac OS 10.9.3
Please help

Hi there hbetz,
I saw your post about how you are able to scan from the computer however, cannot scan from the printers front panel to your computer. Sometimes the connection is interrupted when the computer or printer or even router disconnects or falls into a sleep mode.
Here is a suggestion for you to try:
Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
Repair disk permissions
Re-add the printer back (not the AirPrint driver)
I hope that helps you, have a great weekend

Can not scan from mx4890dw buttons, only from the computer

Hello,
I got this Canon AIO a few days ago. I followed the start up guide instructions, got it signed on to the wireless net work easily enough, and installed the software from the CD onto a Win 7 64 bit Dell laptop.
Printing worked perfectly from the get go. Also, "Copy" seems to be working fine. Fax appears to be working, although I can't confirm yet that a fax has gone through ( no one is at work ) and I may have some questions later about how to send and receive fax when sharing a phone jack with a Comcast modem/cable set up. And how to get it to accept faxs while ignoring voice calls.
As for Scan, after I figured out that I had to push the scan button and choose "remote scanner" ( I push the scan button/Remote scanner/ buttons, get the message "waiting" and then operate from the computer) the scan function worked perfectly, in single and duplex, when controlled FROM the computer and Canon MFC toolbox software. But for the life of me I can not get it to scan from the Canon mx4890dw buttons. I push Scan, then "computer", then I select my computer ( there is only one computer), then either color or BW scan. All seems OK until here. But after I select color or BW, I get a screen that says :"Scanning" with the choice to either cancel or "confirm destination". I select Confirm destination, which then takes me to a screen which says: Confirm destination" showing both the name of my computer and "color scan". That is it, as far as I can go. If I press "OK" it just takes me back to a choice of confirm or cancel. I am trapped in a cycle between these last 2 screens. Once I get to the next to last screen that says "Scanning: cancel or confirm destination", the processing data light starts flashing green. After a minute or so it will stop flashing with the message "an error has occurred/CLOSE". Oh, BTW, I have registered the scanner on the Canon MF Network Scan Utility.
So, I figure there is some button I am failing to push, or I am missing a step. Any one have any ideas on how to get this to scan from the Canon machine?
Thanks
Bill

Thank you Deborah, but after many hours of trial and error, time spent with Norton 360 AV/Firewall folks, many install/uninstalls ( especially after I saw on the E-manual that if you plug a cable from the printer into the computer, and you want to go back to wireless, you must uninstall/reinstall the software), the problem is finally apparently completely solved.
I found what I thought might be the problem by accident. When I last got off the phone with Canon, all they had to suggest was that it was either a Norton or firewall issue, or possibly a computer issue, and nothing they could really do or suggest about that. I accepted this, but while wondering what in the world I was going to do, it dawned on me that my previous Kodak all in one( that this machine replaced) had worked fine, with no scanner problems at all, with this computer, Norton and network. So it seemed like it had to be something other than those things. And I believe a Canon inkjet all in one before the Kodak had also worked with no issues scan wise.
Then I decided to try something else on a whim: I cranked up my old Acer Win XP and installed the software, and guess what happened? Perfect function in all ways from the printer/scanner. Scanned perfectly from the Canon using the panel buttons on the printer. And over the wireless network on an old computer using the same Norton Firewall as my Dell. So it now seemed impossible that it could be the network or firewall. It had to be the only variable, the computer or someway the canon was in conflict with the Win 7 Dell. I bet you can see where this is going! So I go to the online support for Canon and sure enough there are Windows 7 drivers for download as well as a firmware update. So I down load these and clock on them, but as far asd I can tell, nothing happens. It appears they did not complete installation.
So the next day I am back on the phone with Canon. Asking in desperation if they can think of anything before I return this machine back to Staples and get something else, which I really hated to do, but I can't take any more of this, as now it had stopped printing also( but all still hunky dory on the Acer!). But this time, the person I am talking to quickly asks if I am trying to install wireless, and says "hold on while I get you to the wireless guys". The wireless expert listens to my problems and quickly says "did you download the Win 7X64 driver?". I said I had tried but it didn't seem to do much. So he has me download it again and shows me the trick: when you click on the download, it creates a folder somewhere else where the driver is actually stored. I click on that driver, and 10 minutes later all is working perfectly. In fact, before I even hang up with the wireless guy, I press the buttons on the Canon and scan quickly to the computer.
So for now all seems perfect, just as it was immediately once I tried it on the Windows XP machine. So I suggest that this be the first thing suggested when folks are having trouble installing on a Win 7 computer. In fact, I have since noticed there is a sheet of paper that came with the canon that advises downloading drivers for Mac computers. Too bad it didn't mention this for for Win 7 also, since apparently at least some of the installation CDs don't include these drivers.
Now I am wondering if I should try and do the firmware update? Kind of afraid to fix what ain't broke.

Hp photosmart 5510 won't scan in colour on my mac

My HP Photosmart 5510 will not print in colour to my mac documentary page.

I assume you may try scanning from the printer front panel and the scanned page appear as Grayscale only?
If I assumed incorrectly, please clarify the exact problem and the OS details as listed above.
If my assumtion is correct, please try the following steps:
*If you are using Mac OS X 10.7, install the Critical Update below, otherwise skip that part (The OS version can be checked by clicking the Apple Icon > About This Mac):
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL41827/mp-101648-1/HP_Scan_for_Mac_OS_X_10.7_Update.dmg
Now change the device settings as following:
1. Open the HP Utility and select your device.
2. From Scan Settings open the "Scan to Computer".
3. Click the "Scan Tasks" tab.
4. Select the Scan Shortcut used to scan, then click Edit.
5. In the section of Scan from an HP Device click on the blue triangle to enlarge the menu.
6. From the enlarged menu now open the drop-down menu next to Mode and set as Color.
7. Click OK and try scanning.
Please let me know of any change,

Acrobat 9.0 Scan From HP Color LaserJet 2840 Sheet Feeder

Running Windows 7 32-bit on HP computer and HP Color LaserJet 2840 all-in-one.
Attempting to scan from sheet feeder and getting pages clipped at bottom. Windows Scanner program works correctly.
The Acrobat 9.0 Pro scanner setup (WIA, not TWAIN) only allows me to select "automatic" paper size - no other paper size options are presented. Acrobat was recently reinstalled; all software is updated to current revision levels.
Any ideas?

Experiencing the same issue. Mac OS X 10.8.5, HP Easy Start Version 1.1.1 (33) Correctly identifies my HP product, searches for and suggests the appropriate drivers (I'm assuming), and fails when clicking Install. Dialog box says the same exact message as the previous post. Network is obviously working. Can we get direct links to these driver downloads? Essential Software version 4.0.0.32HP Scan version 4.7.0.46 Can't find them anywhere on the HP site. Thanks.

Can't scan from wireless networked Pixma MP640

I just hooked up a new Canon MP 640 via wireless network through my Airport Extreme. Printing works fine, but when I try to scan to my Macbook the printer can't find it over the network. It will only scan to the Macbook with a direct USB connection. I can't find any documentation that suggests that scanning doesn't work over a network connection. Any help?

First of all, even though you mention network scanning, I am not sure if you have the printer using the internal wireless support or if you have it connected to the USB port of the Airport Extreme. Some users interpretation of network connections vary. So if you do have it connected to the USB port of the Extreme, then scanning is not supported. This is a limitation of Airport devices.
If however you have configured the MP640 to connect to the Extreme via wireless and you are trying to initiate the scan from the MP640 to the Mac using the Scan button, then you need to have the [Canon IJ Network Tool v2.70|http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0200080802.html] installed on the Mac.
Also, if you want MP Navigator to open when you use the MP640 Scan button, you need to install [MP Navigator Opener v3.0|http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0200087801.html] on the Mac.
Note that for the network scanner, there should be a separate MP640 entry under the heading of Scanners within the list of devices in Print & Fax. With this MP640 selected, you will have the Open Scanner button visible in the right hand pane. If you click this button, the MP640 scanner window will appear and attempt to connect to the AIO. Does this occur for you?
