Setting up scanning on my HP 7520 all in one

Watched the video on setting up my scanning function but when I click on the printer icon in my control panel I do not see "Scanner Action"  I only see printer action??  Please help.  What am I doing wrong.  Can't locate my printer software disc.

apucciarello,
Welcome to the HP Forum.
You may need to (re)install the Printer Full Feature Software for your Printer onto your computer.
After you install the Software, Double-click the Printer Assistant shorcut on the Desktop to find a Scan feature function (left side).
General Instructions to Install the Printer Software
Reminder:
1.    In most cases, the Solution Center has been replaced by the Printer Assistant.
2.    The Printer Assistant shortcut will be installed on your Desktop during the last part of the installation.
·         Create a Restore Point:   Create a Restore Point – Win7  OR  Create a restore point Win8
·         Open  HP Drivers & Downloads
·         Enter your Printer Model information
·         Select your Printer from the “Results” list
OR
·         Open HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One Printer Drivers
·         Enter your Operating System in the Drop-down menu
·         Click NEXT and Scroll down
·         Look for category Driver - Product Installation Software
·         Select the Basic Driver, e-print, or Full Feature Software
·         Save the *.exe installation package(s) on your computer
The file(s) will likely save to the "Downloads “folder.
Be sure to look for Updates as needed for your installation.  If available, you may download the Print and Scan Doctor and / or other programs from Category – Utilities. 
·         If you have ‘Admin’ control, you may highlight the package and “double-click” to install it, else Right-Click, Select run as Administrator and install.
NOTES: 
·         Look at the bottom half of the main webpage for your printer for helpful videos to assist with the installation of the printer software!
·         Scroll the video list back and forth until you find the video that most closely matches your situation.
·         USB connection:  Download and install the driver software before connecting a USB cable.
·         Ethernet:  Connect the printer to the network and (Optional) assign the printer an IP address at the router.  Once the printer is connected to the network, be sure the printer is switched on and then install the printer software.

There is valuable information at the printer’s website, including manuals, how-to pages, a Troubleshooting and SOLUTIONS section, and alerts and notifications for your printer.  Be sure to take an extended look at what is available.  Bookmark the page.
Remember:  After you install the Printer Software, use the Printer Assistant shortcut on your Desktop or use your Favorite browser and the printer's IP address to access the printer through the EWS.  You can set / change your wireless, assign a static IP address (network tab), check your printer's stats and more.  Excellent!

  • 7520 All In One not scanning from computer

    I have a 7520 all in one printer.  I can scan from the printer to my  computer with no problems, I can print from my computer with no  problems.  I have always been able to control scanning from my computer when I put a picture on the printer without any issues.   The HP Photosmart icon on my desktop is there but I cannot open it.  I've tried opening it from the Start Menu and I still can't open it.  Now I've tried going to the HP Solutions Center and when I click on that it says it cannot run b/c installation is not complete.  (I've had this printer for a almost a year and this just happened out of the blue.)
    I uninstalled the printer then reinstalled it again.  I unplugged my printer and my wireless router and retstarted both, all to no avail.  My software is updated and I've run Scan Doctor and everything is in working order. 
    I simply cannot open HP Photosmart from my computer.

    Hi @FinnGirl47,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand that you cannot scan from the computer with your HP Photosmart 7520, and I am happy to help! 
    For further assistance, I will need to know: If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos, also if the printer is able to make copies.
    In the meantime, please try going through this scanning guide, A 'No Computer Detected' or 'Connection Error' Message Displays during Scanning.

  • Power up problems on my HP 7520 all in one printer

    My HP 7520 e powered down whilst in the process of printing. when the power pack is disconnected from the printer and powered back up from the mains supply a green light shows on the actual power pack. when the power pack is connected to the printer the power fails immediately.

  • After updating to WIndows 10, I can print but not scan with my HP 2210 all in one

    I updated to Windows 10, and since then I'm able to print but not scan with my HP 2210 All-in-one printer.  I've tried downloading the software updates but nothing seems to work.  Any suggestions

    Hi , and  I see you are both having trouble scanning after upgrading to Windows 10, and I may be able to help. Most products do have updated software available on HP's support website for Windows 10. I've also seen a few posts that say the Windows 8.1 driver will work for Windows 10 as well, so you could try that too.  HP provides a free tool called HP Print and Scan Doctor to diagnose and resolve printing and scanning problems. I recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor, if it doesn't fix it automatically let me know what errors or messages you receive.  Do you know if you are able to scan using Paint? To Scan from Paint: HP Multifunction Printers - How to Scan: Windows 8 
    (It's the same for Windows 10, from what I've been told)Right-click the Start button () in the lower left corner of the screen, click Search, and then type Paint.Click Paint in the results.Click File, and then click From scanner or camera.Select your printer, click OK, and then click Scan.  Please let me know if any of these steps resolved your issue, or if there is anything else I can do to help.  I look forward to hearing from you!  Thanks, 

  • HP 7520 all in one - scan to computer won't work

    Hi there,
    I was wondering if someone would be able to help me with a scanning issue. I use my HP 7520 wirelessly, and the printing works fine. I can scan to email and to a USB, but scanning to my computer won't work. It used to work, and stopped one day. I've tried shutting down the printer, computer, and router to re-start.
    I also followed all of these directions:
    http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/kb/docDisplay/?javax.portlet.begCach...
    I have a Mac OSX 10.8 operating system. I tried un-installing and re-installing the software, nothing works. But the printer is connected to my wireless network. The only thing I couldn't do with those instructions is under the "check scan to computer setting" area, number 7. Whwn I open my print que and click on "settings", I don't have a utility tab. So there is no where for me to check the box "scan to computer". Is that the issue? Not sure why I don't see this on my computer. Thanks!

    Hi clh283 and onespeedbiker,
    I understand you aren't able to scan from the printer to the computer.
    Thank you for your reply.
    I will be happy to help you with this.

  • HP 7520 All in One "Unable to Communicate with Printer" msg

    We have a HP all in one Photosmart 7520 printer- it is USB connected to a mac (OS Snow Leopard I believe).  This was the original set up.  When I moved back here I was able to set up a wireless network with the mac as the host computer (connecting the modem to a Linksys router).  I was able to set up my windows 7 PC to this network and to the printer with no problems and was able to print to the printer for months.  Now I am getting this error "Unable to communicate with Printer"  and says it is unable to to be completed because the printer is unavailable or not connected.
    The printer IS connected and on.  My PC can see the printer listed in the control panel (I in fact uninstalled and reinstalled to see if that would fix the problem- it didn't).  The only thing that has changed since I originally set this up was that I added my second PC (Windows XP) to the network but I don't think that's the cause of my print job requests failing to print.
    I do know that the modem itself has been reset a couple of times due to the cable deciding to drop out a couple of times.  Could this be the reason why?
    What else can I look at to try to get my PC to communicate fully with the printer.  I've tried printing from googlemaps as well as a short notepad file.
    Thanks!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Let’s try this.
    1. Verify in the printer that 'Auto Off' is disabled.  Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) by going to the  
        printers IP address in your browser, Settings Tab/Auto Off.  Or use the Printer Assistant, Printer Home
        Page (EWS).
    2. Set a static IP in the printer outside the DHCP range of the router. 
    In the router:
    3. Use a fixed wireless channel like 1,6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest. 
    4. Set router to 20Mhz only, or 145Mbps depending on router. 
    5. Always use WPA2-AES (Personal) encryption, but you can try ‘mixed’ mode. 
    6. For the routers security, disable WPS and never use it and disable UPnP so nobody can hack your
        system (if you want to know why, search the web). 
    7. If you have a dual band router (2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz bands), make sure the SSID’s are NOT the same,
        they must be different for all bands, even for any Guest networks. 
    8. Save all settings.  Power off both, wait 5 mins.  Power on router wait 3 mins. 
    9. Power on printer and verify it reconnects to router. 
    Windows 7/8/8.1   Is Network Discovery on or off?
    Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center\Advanced sharing settings.
    Under Home or Work (current profile) \ Network Discovery.
    Select "Turn on network discovery" and save changes.
    Now try.

  • HP photosmart 7520 all in one

    Purchased new HP 7520 printer and am using an iMac with OS x Maverick system. When attempting to print from the iMac, the printer selects the main tray instead of the photo tray. Photo tray is selected as default in settings on the iMac, as well as on the printer. I've attempted to print from the iPhoto app as well as the Lightroom app. Neither works.
    The photo tray WILL select when printing from my iPhone, however. Is there a driver error or something that needs corrected? I see that this seems to be an ongoing problem from viewing the forums. I hope there is a solution. Otherwise it gets returned tomorrow. Please help.

    Welcome to the HP Forums ADowns,
    I read your post which indicates that you are unable to print to the photo tray on Maverick. But the Iphone prints to the photo tray fine. I can help you with this.
    Are you using the Full Feature download drivers from HP?
    HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One Printer Full Feature Software and Drivers - OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
    Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. The Airprint driver might be installed instead of the Printer's driver. (usually defaults to Airprint)
    Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen should show the name.
    If the printer name shows Airprint then that is the Apple drivers, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
    If you are still having issue then please try the following steps:
    Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
    Close all applications.
    On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
    Double-click Disk Utility.
    Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
    Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
    Restart the computer.
    Reset the Printing System:
    Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
    Click the Apple icon ( ), and then click System Preferences.
    Click Printers & Scanners.
    Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
    Click OK to confirm the reset.
    Type the correct Name and Password.
    Click OK to reset the printing system.
    Then click the + sign, then select the printer from the list and click on the Add button.
    (make sure it shows the printer name beside Use, not the Airprint driver)
    Try printing again from the photo tray again.
    If you need further assistance, let me know.
    Have a wonderful day!

  • Can't set up wireless connection for HP C4385 All-In-One with Windows 7.

    Hi guys,
    I just got a new laptop with Windows 7 64 bit. I already had an HP C4385 All-In-One that I was using with my last computer. I have also just set up a new wireless network because I got a new cable provider. So basically I needed to do everything from the beginning.
    When I inserted the setup CD and ran the setup program, it said I couldn't continue because my OS was not supported. I went to the HP website and found the solution, which was to plug the printer in via USB and let Windows Update find the latest driver. Ok, that's fine, the printer works now when the USB cord is plugged in.
    To set up the wireless connection, the instruction manual says I need to do it through the network setup wizard p on the CD. But that brings me back to my original problem-- the setup CD won't work because it doesn't recognise Windows 7.
    So my question is-- how can I update the network settings (SSID and key) on the printer without the network setup wizard?
    Thanks for any help, this is really driving me crazy!

    I have several computers.  Everything works great with printer in Windows environment.  I have an iPad and a MACbook PRO with Maverick 10.9.4.   The photos are terrible when I print with either of these devices.   It almost looks like a negative image.   I have checked for updated drivers, etc for the MAC.   The ink is HP and the levels are good.  It works fine with my PC computers, but not my Apple devices.   I have checked system preverences in the APPLE.   It appears to be only the photographs.  Text prints fine.  Any suggestions?

    Hello cpsimon, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you're running into photo print issues. I would like to help!
    I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
    I would also suggest running your Apple updates:  OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps.
    After the updates, I would recommend reinstalling the HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One Printer Drivers.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Scanning with an HP 3390 all-in one laser jet printer using Windows 7 pro (64 bit)

    I have recently acquired a Dell Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) OS computer and was wanting to use my HP all-in-one laser jet 3390 printer and scanner. The printer software which came with my HP 3390 will work with my Wind 7 Pro OS computer, however my HP 3390 scanner function will not work using this HP driver software, with my Win 7 Pro OS.  I am trying to locate the appropriate HP scanner and/or different printer drivers that will support both the printer AND scanner functions of my HP 3390 printer/scanner, while using my Windows 7 Pro OS computer.  Within the HP website, I have not been able to find this type of driver software or support, as least listed as such?  I was wondering, if there are maybe no dedicated or described scanner drivers for my situation, is there even another set of drivers which might be intended for other Window 7 Pro OS based computers and other HP printer/scanners, which would work for my situation as well?  Does anyone have a solution to resolve this issue via HP driver software or by another method...maybe even 3rd party?  Ther has to be a solution?

  • How to use the scan function on a 4215i all in one printer

    How do I use the scan function on this printer with windows 8. I did the installation but the scan function does not seem to wwork 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Do you have the Officejet 4215 series All-in-One printer?
    If so, then there is no full feature driver for the printer.  The printer is installed using the Windows Update menu of the print drivers.  For information about using the Windows Update driver click here.
    Do you have this printer connected via USB?  If so, then there are workaround methods to get the printer to scan, as the old software package is not available on Windows 8.  In the document linked above, scroll down to the section on how to scan with the Update driver to find information on how to perform these types of scans.  Hope 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 B

    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.

  • Is anyone able to scan with an HP 3055 all-in-one using Leopard

    MY hp3055 all in one will not scan with Leopard. HP support says I should wait until "sometime in the future" Any ideas?

    Two options:
    If the 'TWAIN' driver for the scanner is working, then with scanner connected (and powered on), run "Applications" -> "Image Capture" (standard with OS X). Image Capture just generically looks for TWAIN devices and uses them.
    The other option:
    You might check to see if VueScan supports it. They claim to support over 750 different flatbed scanners. You can see the list here:
    http://www.hamrick.com/vuescan/vuescan.htm#supported
    VueScan isn't free (I don't think I paid very much for it -- it was probably about $25-30) but you can download it and it'll operate in 'trial' mode (it puts a watermark pattern over everything you scan until you register it) but you can at least see if it recognizes your scanner before you pay for it.
    I use it because I was relying on an ancient flatbed scanner for which the manufacturer no longer even made the drivers -- and it was able to recognize and use the scanner with no problem.

Maybe you are looking for
