Trying to make new scan shortcut in HP Deskjet 2544 All-in-One

Good morning,
Because of a major computer crash I recently had to purchase a new computer and as a result I also had to buy a new Printer because my older Photosmart was not compatible with my new system.
I now am using a HP Pavilion 23-g017c (x64) AMD A6-5200 APU w/Radeon HD Graphics, running Windows 8.1 and using IE 11 with Zone Alarm Firewall and Antivirus& Spyware.
My new printer is a HP Deskjet 2544 All-in-One.
I am trying to see if there is any way I can add a new shortcut to my scanning options which will enable me to scan a document to my computer besides the two options available now (PDF and TIF).
I would like to be able to scan directly into my Microsoft Office 2013 Word program if possible.
The reason being is because I find it easier to edit and then print from my Word program than a PDF program.
Is this possible?
Thanks and regards,
2harts4ever

Hi @thefewtheproud
I have done some research, and it turns out you are not likely doing anything wrong. I downloaded the software for this printer, and it seems that the version 32 software has omitted the ability to save your document files as anything other than PDF or TIFF.
With the older software, the solution I posted above would have worked, but I feel like our software has taken a step back instead of forward. The only solution I can think of at this point is not ideal, but is doable. You could download a file converter, save your files as PDF then convert them.
I even tried saving a scan as a PDF, then opening it with different programs and saving it using 'Save As" and changing the file type there. I chose .txt , but then when I open it in Word or a text program, the formatting is lost.
Basically, the only think I can suggests is a conversion program. I am sorry I misinformed you in my first post, this was an oversight on my part, I forgot that the version 32 software was different from the older versions.

Trying to scan from hp officejet 150 mobile all in one to my computer

trying to scan from hp officejet 150 mobile all in one to my computer. downloaded the full feature for my printer off hp website. push scan on printer and will not find program on my computer to scan to. help!!!

Hi @Bryan1968,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you are trying to scan with your HP Officejet 150 mobile to your Windows 7 computer. I am happy to help you with your scanning!
First, I would recommend to make sure you have downloaded, and installed the full feature software and drivers, from this website, HP Officejet Full Feature Software and Driver. It is possble, you might have accidentally installed the basic driver instead.
Then according to your printer's user guide, the scanning functionality will only with a USB cable connection from the printer to the computer. Please see page 43 of your printer's User Guide.
I would also visit this guide, How to Scan: Windows 7, as it will give you some alternate methods of scanning, even without HP software.
Hope this information is helpful, and have a great day!

After upgrading to Mac OS 10.9 My HP Deskjet F4580 all in one printer no longer scans. How can we fix it?

Hi All,
I recently upgraded to Mac OS 10.9 Mavericks, but now my HP Deskjet F4580 All in one printer will not scan any documents either as PDF or as JPG, how can we fix this?

I have simialr problems, after i scanned the ducuments or pictures, i can save it for only once, but the file is just black pictures with many lines through them. When i try to save it again, then it says ''An error has occurred saving the file because it could not be written to. Check the properties for the file to make sure it is not read-only.', which then doesn't allow me to do anything of saving the file or even just to print it out.

Scanning not working on 6525 eSeries all in one

I got a new 6525 series all in one printer couple of days back. Installed the same and worked fine for printing, both in connected mode (USB) and on wireless. But when it comes to scanning, it wont work.
From the front panel, tried the scan to email option. setup the email.. got the PIN etc and was ready to go.... but once started.... It would just say 'scanning' and wont go any further.... I cant cancel that and had to turn of the printer....
Thinking there could be a issue with scan to email from the front panel, tried doing scan to computer... while it recognizes the computer (both in USB and wireless mode), but again it wont scan...... then tried the other option to scan from the laptop too... .... (has Windows 8) . When I initiate scanning by hitting start scan... after few minutes it gives me a message the device might be busy scanning previous document. Wait for sometime to try again (not the exact verbatim)...
Installed the HP App for scanning, there too no luck.... it gives the message device busy....
Is there a issue with hardware and i need to call for replacement (have another couple of days window).... or issue with drivers which could be attempted to be solved ?
Any help much appreciated...

Hi MNC1972,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you cannot scan with your HP Photosmart 6525 from or to Windows 8. I am happy to help with this scanning issue!
Please try the following:
Make sure the power cable of the printer is plugged directly into the wall outlet, not a surge-protector. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
Try to make a standalone copy, Copy Text or Mixed Documents, and let me know if it works or not.
If it can copy, then run the HP Print and Scan Doctor, on the laptop, and let me know what happens!
Hope to hear from you, and thank you for posting!

My brand new HP Deskjet 1510 all-in-one series Cant print

This new HP 1510 All in one series that I just bought is not consistent in printing and most of the times it picks the paper and makes a bipping sound and then stops. It will then give a printing error report and spit out the paper with no print. This is driving me crazy. I have uninstalled and installed a couple of times but the problem persists. At times it prints and at times it doesn't. you can barely tell when it is going to print and most of the times it doesnt. I really need suggestions please

Hello there @Drawingston , welcome to the forums
I read your post about your Deskjet 1510 not printing consistently from your Windows 8.1 system, and when it prints, the pages are blank. I will surely try to help you!
I would suggest that you try a few things, they are:
Run the Print and Scan Doctor. This diagnostic tool will check for any conflicts that could be causing the issue. The tool will show you a report at the end. Please send me the results in a screen shot or write them in a response.
Try a different USB cable that runs directly from the back of the printer, to the PC.
Click this guide and try cleaning the paper rollers: The Printer Does Not Pick Up or Feed Paper
Reset the printer and make sure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors.
Try printing again from more than one program.
Let me know all of the results
Good luck!

HP Deskjet 3520 All-in-one, after scan get message that I don't have enough memory.

HP deskjet 3520 A-I-O. Using Win 7, SP1.
Scan using Paper Port 12 to main desktop folder. Been doing it for weeks with no problem. All of a sudden I get a message after the scan that the printer doen't have enough memory to put the scan in the desktop folder. Tells me to turn off other running programs. There are no other programs running other than the ones I have had in the background during the privious hundred scans. Just in case I unpinned several shortcuts on the deaktop and from the Start bar. Still says not enough memory.
Turned everything off and back on...no change. Just prior I did change some of my default settings concerning my browser and CD/DVD, but nothing regarding the All-in-One.
I know that the printer puts data in memory before printing but I thiught that it was a temp file. Is there a place where information is stored long term? And if so can I clear it? What am I missing?

Hi Dadwpr,
Here is a link from Microsoft on how to run the Memory Diagnostics Tool.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Diagnosing-memory-problems-on-your-computer
Also I was wondering if you have changed the dpi of the scan and if you have tried a different folder to scan to?
Click on how to scan with Hp software, it will give you how to check scan settings.

I got my first Mac 2 weeks ago, a Macbook Pro. I can't get it to scan on my HP Laserjet1217 nfwMFP all in one. It prints (wirelessly) just fine. But when I try to scan, it says something like "no scanners available". Wireless or connected, it's the same.

I have not been able to get my new Macbook Pro to scan, either wirelessly or connected, with my HP Laserjet all in one M1217 nfwMFP printer. It prints wirelessly just fine, but if I try to scan, I get the message that no scanners are found. The guy in the Apple store had it scanning just fine with a new HP printer he took out of the box. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I would check with HP. Your scanner may need a firmware update and updated HP software. Start here:

I'm running 10.5.8, trying to print from Word 08 to a HP C5180 all in one, getting random text along top of first page then the printer keeps feeding paper through.

I downloaded the driver and software from HP for my OS, during installation it says HP Monitor Tray? quit unexpectedly, then it says installed successfully. I opened Word 08 for Mac, typed a test page, hit print, and the first page came out with three lines of words and numbers, then the printer continued to feed blank sheets through? I tried printing from TextEdit and it says "Textedit quit unexpectedly." Please help, I am new to the Mac and this is driving me nuts. Thanks.

That happens when the printer driver sends binary when ASCII or something else is expected. It ususally means the driver is goofed up.
If this is an inkjet all-in-one, most of those are "dumb" printers that have a "monolithic" driver that does the imaging on the Mac, then sends the bitmap to the printer.
The default for Mac OS X Printers is to send Postscript to the printer. So if there was any trouble installing the driver or setting up the Printer, it would end up a generic postscript, and that would go badly.
