Scanning option disappeared from HP Officejet Pro shortcut

i have a new office jet pro 8600 all in one. After installation a desk top short cut appeared that when opened enabled me to access scanning, printing, faxing... all from one spot. After scanning for the first time from this window now it only lists printing options. And during scan it would not let me add multiple pages to one scan.
What happened? I previously had a HP photosmart all in one and it's HP solution center was much easier to use and intuitive. Not a good change by HP.

1. First uninstall the software
Click Start  button then go to Programs > HP > Officejet 8600 and click Uninstall.
2. Then go to Control Panel > Programs  and Features
and click over Officejet 8600 and then click Uninstall program
3. Then download the software from the HP web:
HP Officejet 8600 - Full Feature Software and Drivers - Windows 7 64bits
4. And install with the downloaded software.
Hope these steps helps you,

HP OfficeJet 8620 Scan Options Disappeared

I ran the scan doctor program on my scanner. When I reopened my scanner dialog through the print menu all of my options for scanning are gone.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled my printer twice and it has not corrected this issue. I have also restarted both my printer and computer.

Hi there @vks84 , Welcome to the HP Community
I read through your post about how when you were done running the Print and Scan Doctor,
the scanning options were missing from the software. The type of driver is the first thing to come to my mind when I see this.
Could you check your Devices and Printers on your computer and let me know if you have the Class Driver installed or "8620 Driver" or something similar to that?
Check this post for screen shot examples of checking in the Devices and Printers folder: officejet Pro e All-In-One x64 print driver for Windows Vista Home Premium (64-bit)
Also, when you uninstalled the printer, did you completely restart your PC before you reinstalled? Where exactly did you run the installation from (disk, or download), and which driver did you install (post me a link if you downloaded it).
Thank you,

I cannot "scan to computer" with my HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g ) - The option has been enabled

I cannot "Scan to Computer" with my HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 N911g - The option has been enable in the HP Utility - but I receive a communication error message - I'm connected to the computer using a Linksys Wireless Router and I am using OS X 10.5.8 - I can print wirelesly and I can use Web Scan, so the connection is good.
How do I resolve the issue?

petergole,
To make sure we aren't dealing with a software problem lets try to uninstall with the 'scrubber option' like this:
1. Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller and click Continue
2. Highlight your device on the left pane
3. Hold the Ctrl, Opt and Cmd keys and click on Uninstall
4. There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
5. Click Continue and let it finish
Now, run a Software Update. This can be done by clicking the Apple in the top left of the screen then clicking Software Updates.
Next, let's reset the printing system:
Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
- Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Default tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
Finally, use this guide to reinstall: http://goo.gl/Na4Qm

Can I Scan to editable text on HP Officejet Pro 8620 using the Apple Printer Driver 3.0?

Can I Scan to editable text on HP Officejet Pro 8620 using the Apple Printer Driver 3.0?
I had a very difficult time getting my new HP Officejet Pro 8620 functioning as well as it does now. I just tried scanning something as editable text for the first time and it ended up being scanned as a pdf. At one point in my various tries there was a note on the printer screen that I did not have the HP OCR software installed.
This may be because the resolution to my installation problems with the HP Officejet Pro 8620 seems to have been reverting to operating with the HP-Apple Printer Drivers 3.0 package instead of the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg installation package.
I do not, therefore, have the HP Scan application on my computer now which is where HP says its OCR software can be found.
So what I'm afraid of is that I'm now running well with the HP-Apple driver but if I do go back and install the HP Officejet Pro v12.32.0 driver software with the HP installer, in order to access the OCR softwware in HP Scan application, I'll mess up everything else.
Is there any chance that the HP-Apple Printer Drivers 3.0 package I have installed also includes OCR software? If so where can I find instructions for activating it and using it with the HP 8620's scanner?
Or can I only get OCR capability with the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg package?
Any experience with this? Should I leave well enough alone? Or can I somehow install the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg package without messing up my current functionality?
Thanks
Steve

The printer driver that is installed automatically from Apple doesn't scan. The scanner part can be accessed through Image Capture, but I don't think that does any OCR on the scan. You'd need a separate program. As you noted, many of the bundled software programs have OCR built-in (albeit limited). From my experience, that is only activated when you scan to "searchable" PDF or something similar. You would then have to extract the text from the PDF.
I don't have an HP printer/scanner, so take this all with a grain of salt.
If you can just install the Scanner utilities, that shouldn't affect the printer portion.
Your other option would be to purchase separate OCR software. Unless you need to scan lots of documents into text, you should further investigate installing the HP scan utilities.

Scanning Documents From File Center from HP Officejet Pro 6830 Not Working with Twain Driver

I just purchased a HP Officejet Pro 6830 All-In-One printer and planned to use it to scan from Filecenter (Lucion Technologies) using TWAIN driver. The Twain driver for the HP shows up in Filecenter, but the scan produces a blank document. My previous All-In-One printer from Dell (Lexmark) scanned to this software with no issues. Are there any solutions to this issue? Filecenter has different scan modes A and B and Transfer type (Native, Memory and File) and I tried all 6 options and none worked.

Hi @cyclebob ,
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publically post ( serial numbers and case details).
If you are unfamiliar with how the Forum's private message capability works, you can learn about that here.

Cant scan to and from a OfficeJet Pro 8620

I have had this printer for a while connected by WiFi to an iMac and 2 Window 7 PCs. The iMac is my primaray computer however.
I noticed that the iMac disapeared from the "scan to computer" option on the printer, but you could scan from the iMac using the HP Scan App. I could scat to both PC's. After several attempts of fixing the problem scanning to the iMac i used the HO uninstailer app to remove the OfficeJet (and my HP LaserJet)
I installed the latest version of the HP OfficeJet Software (more than once) and now I can scan from or to on the iMac. When i have tride to select the "scan to computer option" I get the same error message
"The HP software required for Scan to Computer could not be located on this computer. Please download and install the latest HP recommended software for your device from http://www.hp.com/support, and then try again.
Now I have compltely uninstalled and reinstalled the software and I still get the same error message so scanning to and from the iMac using the HP software does not work. The printer is visable in System Preference, and I can "open scanner" and scan that way but it's a pain to do each time.
Anyone got any sugestions?
THanks

Hi wfreker,
I see that you cannot scan from your HP Officejet 8625 on Mac OS X 10.10. I am happy to help!
Are you able to make copies with the printer? This way we will no if the issue is hardware related or not.
Otherwise, I would suggest this guide, A 'Computer Not Found' or 'Connection Error' Message Displays for HP Officejet Pro 8610, 8620, 8630,....
Causes
Scan connection errors can occur for the following reasons:
The HP printer software is not installed, or it did not install correctly.
The network connection failed.
The USB connection failed.
A firewall blocked the scan.
Another person on the network is using the scanner.
Hope this helps, and have a nice day!

Photosmart 5520 - Scan Option disappears from Mac OS X 10.9 to 10.10 update

I have been searching this problem for the last 2 hours. I have already installed, deleted, reinstalled drivers from this website and Apples site.
Under printers and scanners in my System Preferences, I can choose and easily print from our HP 5520, but the scan option button has now disappeared from my 10.9 to 10.10 update. My wife has the exact same computer as me and we are both connected to the exact same 5520 printer, but she is still on 10.9 (scan option is available and works) and I am on 10.10 (scan option is gone and HP Scan doesnt work either).
Solutions please!

Configuring "Scan To E-mail" on HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus N911g

This is the same issue reported by several other users in this forum to which no solution has been provided.
I have been unsuccessful in setting up the scan to e-mail option for a HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus N911g purchased on August 12th 2012 and using the firmware CLP1CN1150CR.
I am trying to do this through the Embedded Web Server interface to the printer from an iMac running Mac OS X 10.6.8 and HP Utility 5.8.0. More specifically the page under "Scan -> Scan to E-mail -> Outgoing E-mail Profiles".
I have tried 2 different SMTP outgoing servers, each of which works well to send e-mail from the computer: Apple iCloud e-mail service (formerly known as Mobile Me, formerly known as .Mac) and AT&T Net e-mail service. I verified that the server name, port number and authentication login/password values were all correct.
When scan to e-mail is used from the printer, I get an error message: Cannot connect to server. Check server name and address.
When tested from the computer during the setup of an outgoing e-mail profile, I get an error message: The device could not send the test e-mail message. (EmailAccounts-timeout).
When I try to configure the page under "Settings -> E-mail Alerts -> E-mail Server" and use exactly the same values as the ones in the outgoing e-mail profile above, the Save and Test option fails with an error message: The device could not send the test e-mail message.
Interestingly enough, I am able to use the computer's e-mail client with the option Scan To Computer -> E-mail as PDF or E-mail as JPEG. With this option, the file is scanned and added as an attachment to a mail message from the Mail client under Mac OS X. When I press the Send button, the e-mail is sent successfully through the same SMTP server.
All the error messages seem to indicate that the printer's e-mail client software is unable to establish a connection to the SMTP server. However, it is not clear what configuration parameter is the one that could be causing the problem.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

After further research, I noticed that there are other possible default Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) port values:
Port 25 is the standard SMTP port number.
Port 465 is the port number for SMTP over SSL, Secure SMTP (SSMTP).
Port 587 is the dedicated port number for a Mail Submission Agent (MSA) that uses a variant of the SMTP, as specified in RFC 6409, which requires that clients are authorized and authenticated to use the mail submission service.
I had been using port number 25 as this is the standard one. However, all tests were failing. Hence, I decided to try the tests with ports numbers 465 and 587.
Port number 465 failed with the same errors listed above. However, the tests passed with port number 587. After saving the successful configuration with port number 587, I tried the scan to e-mail option from the printer and it worked.
A mail submission agent (MSA) is a computer program or software agent that receives electronic mail messages from a mail user agent (MUA) and cooperates with a mail transfer agent (MTA) for delivery of the mail.
Historically in Internet mail, both MTA and MSA functions use port number 25. However, many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and enterprise or institutional networks restrict the ability to connect to remote MTAs on port 25.
With a dedicated port 587, it is always possible for users to connect to their domain to submit new mail. Availability of a MSA on port 587 enables nomadic users to continue to send mail via their preferred submission servers even from within others' networks. Using a specific submission server is a requirement when sender policies or signing practices are enforced.
I know that many users may find the technical details boring or confusing, but I just wanted to include some background to those who actually care about this level of detail. I also wanted to provide a possible solution to other users who are experiencing the same problem.
So, in a nutshell, if the Scan To E-mail option is not working for you using port number 25, then try one of the other SMTP port numbers listed above. If none of them work, check your mail provider for other possible outgoing server port numbers.

Cannot scan, fax, or copy from HP Officejet 6500 All-in-One E709a

I can print from my HP Officejet 6500 All-in-One E709a, but I cannot scan, copy, or fax. All drivers and updates are current; no recent updates were made prior to the problems occurring. I use Windows 7 64-bit. When the printer is turned on, it always shows Original Loaded, but no documents are in the feeder or on the glass (I have already cleaned the glass and have ensured that the cover sits tightly). I am having problems scanning, copying, and faxing. The automatic document feeder is functioning. I have tried to reset the printer several times.
When I try to Scan a document in the document feeder (it does feed through) or from the glass, I get variable responses – rarely, it appropriately asks how I want to save/handle the doc (e.g., save as pdf), but the document does not actually scan and I am directed to Reload the document OR it displays No Scan Options. The document does not show in My Scans.
When I try to Copy, it shows the document as copying, but there is a long delay before the progress bar occurs. When I copy using the document feeder, I actually get a copy (rarely and always faded-looking) or the copy prints out blank—both results are always followed by an error message to Reload the document. When copying from the glass, the copy prints out blank with an error message to Reload the document
The same problems occur when trying to Fax. Whether trying to scan, copy, or fax, the printer is making a lot of sounds of gears whirring.
Again, I can print a document from my PC without any problems – the problem is limited to scanning, faxing, and copying.
I have tried the HP Print & Scan Doctor. It always stops at the HP Twain Scan step, saying the Scan process was cancelled by the user (not true). When I click on Continue, it proceeds down to the Test Scan step, but nothing happens when I click on the Test Scan button. It will only allow me to Skip at that point. All of the other steps show green checks.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

My first question is really going to get to the core of the issue, I heard you say that the printer makes sounds, but if you lift the lid does the bar A) travel across the screen and B) light up?
Additionally, perform both of these resets and let me know how they go!

Intermittently having issue sending scans to networked directory folder HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g

Hello All,
I have a printer installed an AIO HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911g which is cappable of scanning either by flatbed or feeder to a networked drive/folder. For the most part this works fine, however 2 times out of 10 it produces the following error;
"Cannot connect to \\'Server details\Folder location path'. Make sure the remote computer is turned on."
Now I have seen many post about disabling the filewall and other, however none of this type after an install.
Some obvous checks have been made already, Network cable replace, Changing of the destination folder location, and reseting the password for the scanner to auth as well as confirming the permisions. And each time the tests via the web console and physical tests work fine though this doesn't last.
Could anyone help?
Thanks

Hi @Paperjam27
From your description, it sounds like the issue is intermittent. It can sometimes be challenging to identify the root cause of an issue when the problem is not consistent, but I am happy to work with you towards a solution. I suspect the issue might have something to do with the network. I know you said you have tried a new cable and done some troubleshooting already but bear with me here.
When you say you replaced the cable, do you have an Ethernet cable connected between the printer and the router? if not, then I wonder if there is some sort of interference on your wireless connection. Is your router is a dual band router broadcasting both 2.4 and 5.0 frequency? The printer only works on 2.4GHz, maybe this is the root cause.
The channel your router is set to can impact your network consistency too. For example, if you are on channel 11 and others in your area are also on channel 11 or even 9 or 10 it causes congestion on that channel. Think of the channel like a highway or interstate, the more cars on that highway/interstate, the slower you go due to congestion, if you are on a highway with less people are on it, it is more like smooth sailing! You can print a network configuration page to see what channel you are using and see what channel others in your area are no. If the higher channels are most common you might consider changing yours to 1, 2, or 3, and visa versa. How to: Printing a Network Configuration Page.
has this ben an issue since you have had the printer or did it recently start happening? If this only recently started, can you think of anything that changed recently? Do you have only one access point (router) or do you have a secondary router or extender? Can you think of anything that might be interfering with your network, and do you find the issue occurs more at a certain time of the day than others?
I found on my network at home, I was often seeing delays in response time in the early evening because others are coming home from school and work and 'clogging up the channel', I changed the channel and have had little to no issue since.
Let me know if you think of anything, and post back with the answers to the questions I have posted and I will get back to you. Thanks.

Duplexer no longer an option in print screen - hp officejet pro 8100

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8100 that came with a duplexer. Up until today, the duplexer has worked. I don't technically know that it's not working. But when I open up the print screen in open office, adobe, or any other program, it no longer gives me the option to print double sided. I have no idea what to do and there are no tutorials that explain how to correct this. Any help is appreciated.
Found out after trying to reinstall the printer software that because my OS updated to 8.1 from Windows 7, my printer is no longer compatible with my computer. Is that ridiculous or what? I messaged HP, though I have no warranty so I'm sure they'll deny any product support. That's okay, if need be I'll take my business elsewhere. I shouldn't have to pay for support on a product that they made obsolete on purpose. Businesses used to be all about a quality product. Oh how the times have changed. This is one expensive paper weight.
This question was solved.

About printing from hp officejet pro 8000

Hi,
My question is on technical side. I don't know I should ask it in this forum or not, Yet I am going to ask.
I am using officejet pro 8000 printer in my project. I connect it to my machine and send the test report data to printer. Report is printed successfully, but after printing the report the power LED is blinking continuously. It means that printer is still waiting for some data to print. So please tell me that which character should be sent to printer to specify "END OF DATA TRANSMISSION".

I wanted to share what I found in case someone else has the same questions.
Microsoft 2008
Go to Print dialog box
Choose the "Layout" Submenu (I think this menu defaults to "Copies and Pages")
There is a "two-sided" option, and you can choose "off", "long-edge binding", or "short edge binding"
Once I did this and saved the settings, it also worked for Excel and Adobe.
The only issue with Adobe is that you have to follow these steps every time you print. If I just hit print without following the below steps, it will not print duplex. The steps are at the following link.
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/print-double-sided-acrobat-reader.html#main_Ma c_OS_print_double_sided
I expected the same dialog box that appears on the web brower to also appear with my other applications, and that is not the case.
