Scanning with Windows 8

I have a HP Officejet Pro 8500 and loved scanning photographs to my Dell computer.
I recently purchased a new Dell that has the Win 8 OS (the old one had XP). I am able to print from the new computer to the HP printer. However, the scan function is not available under the Pictures folder in Win 8. I tried to download the printer driver for Win 8 for my printer but it still did not resolve the problem.
What should I do?

Hello @luckyP , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you're looking into scan options.  I would like to help!
Due to the differences in operating system functionality, the scan options are not identical.
I would recommend this HP document on How to Scan: Windows 8

  • Hp officejet pro 8500 wireless a909g scan with Windows 7

    I have been using HP officejet pro 8500 a909g wireless with windows xp with no problems scanning.  I got a laptop with windows 7 64 bit and cannot scan to the computer from the solution center software on the computer or from the display on the unit like I used to be able to do.  When I try to scan, it says that it is scanning and then quits after a short time.  Nothing happens with the scanner.  The Solution Center also sees the document is loaded.  I have tried the scanning software program to see if something is wrong but it says all is fine.  What do I need to do?

    There is a way to launch the scan application directly.
    Go to c:\program files\hp\digital imaging\bin and double click on hpiscnapp.exe
    See if you are able to complete a scan this way
    If that doesn't work,
    Rename the twain folder:
    Navigate to C:\Windows and double click on it
    Scroll down to the twain_32 folder, and rename the folder twain_32 old .
    Then, Delete the whole Digital Imaging folder in the program files above and then do an install/reinstall which will repopulate the folder. NOTE: If you have multiple HP imaging devices (other printers, scanner, or cameras) Do not delete the Digital Imaging folder or you will need to reinstall those items.

  • Scanning with windows 8.1 and laserjet 3050

    I have had my Laserjet 3050 for many years and all printer functions have worked well for that time using Windows XP.  I have two new computers now. One with Windows 8.1 and the other a Mac with OS 10.9.  I am able to print with the LaserJet from either computer but unable to scan to saving to computer on either computer.  I have checked for HP updates and new drivers but no success.  UIn XP I would go to the Start menu and then programs to the HP folder and there I would click on scan.  There is no such program or application or HP folder on new either computer.  The Windows 8.1 will not read the installation disc that came with the Laserjet 3050.  What do I have to do to be able to scan and save to computer?  

    OK, I figured out how to scan in Windows 8.1 but still unable to do it in OS10.10.  I can print to Laserjet.  My LaserJet 3050 is recognized in System Preferences/Printers & Scanners but to scan my LaserJet and Mac don't see each other.  I am not able to find an app to do this function.  How do I correct this?

  • HP Officejet 4315 with Windows 7 - How to scan into a .pdf file?

    My Officejet under HP Solutions software worked wonderful at scanning files into .pdf with Windows Vista.  Now that I have an upgraded computer with Windows 7, I've found that HP Solution is no longer available and I have to use the Windows Scan and fax software which is very limited.  It only lets me scan into 4 different file types - .bmp, .tif, .gif and .jpeg.  None of my usual contacts can read and open the files I send them now.  What can be done here to allow me to do business as usual?  The only way around this that I've found is I can scan with Windows Paint and then insert the 'picture' into a word file which I can then convert to .pdf, but the quality goes way down, not to mention my time to do this goes way up.

    OK, only solution I've found is to use a 3rd party program - try cutePDF. 
    Thanks for nothing HP!

  • How do I scan to my desktop with windows 8?

    I have a HP 5520 all in one.  Ever since i got my new computer with windows 8, I've been having trouble finding my scans. How can I scan a pic to my desktop?  thanks for any help!

    Hi,
    Firstly you need to install printer software and drivers on your Windows 8 computer. After that, you can see an icon on desktop (or use Win  key and move to the right to see the icon).  Double click (ot touch) the icon and check "Manage scan to computer". Enable this if required.
    Now, you can scan from computer OR from printer. I always recommend: scan from computer, this will give more options.
    To can from computer, use the above menu
    (a) Click scan a Document or Photo
    (b) Put orginal on the glass face down,
    (c) Click scan from computer, ......
    (d) Click Save, remember where to save it.
    Regards.

  • I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 on Windows XP, SP3

    I can no longer print PDF files that were scanned with the very same MX479 All-in-One.
    I have an (obsolete) Windows XP, SP3 computer.  Obviously, no updates from Microsoft
    have occurred that might have impacted my Canon Pixma MX479.
    When I attempt to send 1 or more pages from a PDF file to the printer, I don't even get the
    Canon PIXMA popup that would allow me to cancel the print job.
    Yet the Print Queue icon appears in the lower right corner of my monitor.
    If I view the Print Queue, the print queue shows "spooling" and does nothing more.
    If I attempt to CANCEL the print job in the Print Queue, it simply changes to "deleting -
    spooling".
    I cannot cancel the print job that shows NOT RESPONDING via Task Manager, either.
    In fact, the only way the Print Queue icon disappears is if I totally reboot my computer!
    "Luckily", I can still print e-mails, Word documents, and even my downloaded PDF of my
    bank statement.
    So, I was thinking that it was *only* PIXMA'S OWN SCANNED PDFS that could not be
    printed ON THE SAME PIXMA 479.
    However, I have since realized that I also cannot print USPS Signature Proof of Delivery
    PDFs that I received from USPS via e-mail.
    So why can I print *some* PDF files, but not *all* PDF files, like I previously could do?
    THESE SCANS ARE OF LEGAL DOCUMENTS, SO I WILL LIKELY HAVE TO E-MAIL
    THE REQUISITE, PREVIOUSLY SCANNED PDFS TO FEDEX TO PAY FOR *THEM*
    TO PRINT THEM.
    NOTE: I *have* tried turning the PIXMA off, unplugging it, rebooting the computer, plugging
    the PIXM in and restarting the PIXMA - still no ability to print PIXMA-scanned PDFs.
    And, I find it very strange that e-mails, Word documents, and some other PDFs print with
    no problem "around" "NOT RESPONDING" PIXMA print jobs.
    I have owned Canon printers for years, including the MX420, and the MX340.

    There may be some security issues related to the USPS PDFs.

    I can't help with the scan/print problem. You seem to have done everything I would try.
    I don't know if maybe using a registry cleaner would help.

    my 3 year-old macbook pro is very slow. I have run disk utility and virus scan with no improvement. The "beach ball" will spin for minutes at a time when opening, closing or changing windows. Apple Store looked at it a few months ago with no help. What can I do?

    Under System: out of 2GB - 54.7MB free; 530MB wired; 603MB active; 862MB inactive; 1.95GB used.
    Is too much of the system memory tied up? If so, what can I do to free some up?

  • How do I scan with my hp color laser 2840 using windows 7 64 bit?

    I'm using an HP color laserjet 2840 all in one printer with my hp Pavilion dv7-6163us laptop.  Before I upgraded to this new computer using windows 7 64 bit addition I was able to scan documents with this multifunction machine.  Now with windows 7 I no longer have this functionality.  When I look at HP's help section they tell me that drivers for the 2840 for printing and scanning are built into windows 7.  How do I get my machine to scan a document?

    This seems to be a commercial product. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!
    You can find the Commercial Laserjet board here:

  • Not able to scan on windows 8 x64 with acrobat 10.1.4

    I am not able to scan on windows 8 pro x64 rtm (from MSDN) with acrobat 10.1.4.
    My combined printer/scanner model is HP Laserjet Pro 400 color MFP M475dw.
    My scanner driver "WIA-HP LJ300-400 M375-M475 scan" works fine in Windows Paint, but when trying to scan with Acrobat it only shows a "Wrong parameter" message.  When I try again or to close Acrobat a "operation not allowed because scanning is in progress" error message comes.
    Is acrobat 10.1.4 ment to be windows 8 x64 compatible (like the sales rep told me)?
    Is there a solution to this problem?

    As Acrobat X up through 10.1.4 wasn't intended for a Windows 8 "beta" a possible solution is to use what ever comes along that has been designed for Windows 8.
    Keep in mind Acrobat 9.2 worked with Windows 7 until the first round of Win 7 updates. Full functionality came with Acrobat X (the 10.1 update provided PDFMaker compatiblility with some Office 2010 x64 applications).
    Be well...

  • HP Photosmart C6380 not scanning or photo printing with Windows 8

    Just purchased HP M6/1125DX/15j with Windows 8. My current HP printer is an HP Photosmart C6380 All In One.  The printer does work but the photo part and scanning icons no longer appear that were on my desktop before. I tried to download the whole program that said would update my printer but after 6 tries at an hour each, at the end it just said my download was cancelled. Is there any chance my printer will be supported by Windows 8 and how do I do that if I can't download.  Or am I stuck buying a new printer? Thanks

  • Cannot make Canon PIXMA MX922 fax to work with "Windows Fax And Scan" on Windows 7, 8.1

    I have Canon PIXMA MX922 multifunction printer installed wireless on iMac OS X Mavericks. It works great but there is no fax drivers for Mac. I have Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 installed on Parallel Desktop. I am able to print and scan on these machines. I can scan using "Windows Fax and Scan" and other programs including My Image Gardens but no luck with faxing. I can send faxes using print function and chosing a Cannon MX920 series fax driver. The problem is to recieve faxes. I've connected MX922 wireless and wired with no help.
    Does anyone have the same problem? Any ideas?

    Hi Anton,
    thank you for your advice.
    In case this is going to fix itself in 25 hours I will check for the issue then. I'm gonna let you know whether the issues has disappeared.
    But it sounds to me a little bit, like you have been expecting that behaviour? Have you? Especially within a Lab it is very confusing to have test clients which appear fully functional 25 hours after the setup has been succeeded.
    I've followed your annotation and posted the log files on the Connect portal.
    Thx
