Trying to open scanner session....

Like many others, I have an HP Deskjet F380 all-in-one. Printing is fine. Trying to scan, I get 2 messages.
1- Trying to open scanner session
2- failed to open a session on the device
I assume, eventually, there will be a fix from HP?

I solved my own problem, sort of. I reinserted my Snow Leopard installation disk and then went to the Optional Installs package. One of the Custom Installs available there is Printer Support. I loaded "All Available Printers," after which Mac OS recognized my HP 6310. So, apparently, there are drivers in the optional installations package that don't get loaded automatically with the basic Snow Leopard install. Perhaps the missing drivers can also be obtained through Software Update. I did that too, but can't tell if it affected my connection since the scanner worked both before and after I updated the HP software.
In OS 10.5, I typically scanned using Acrobat. Even though my scanner is now working, Acrobat can't find it. This is odd because if I scan through the Print & Fax screen in System Preferences, I can scan to Acrobat. After the scan, Acrobat opens and shows the scanned image in neat old .pdf format. But it won't scan directly, and the System Preferences route takes a lot of extra key strokes. I long for the old HP Director.

Need help scanning in Pictures:hp 4500-pics not found/trying to open scanning session

I have successfully scanned once with my hp 4500 printer, but once images are scanned nothing happens. They are not in iphoto even though I scanned them to pictures folder. When I open the printer scanner icon it says "trying to open scanning session" and remails here indefinitely. HELP!

OS X 10.6.8
Regardless of selecting pictures, or iphoto, once that first scan is done, the pics are not there and no other scans can be done afterwards without the printer/scanner locking up and saying trying to open scanning session. In image capture my printer scanner is not visible, the printer is visible however as a desktop icon.
Thanks for any help!

Logic Crashes trying to open a session file. Save copies often

I am having an unfortunate unique issue here. For whatever reason, Logic X has corrupted/infected several session files within my project. I have not been able to open my main or many backup session files within a project. Every time I open, crash and then this error bellow. I have tried every trick in the book. Crashes when i try to import the session in a new session, even tried tricking an older file that works with the new session files backup's inserted. Crashes + infects the working session file. This has been very frustrating. I don't feel I did anything to make the file corrupt. Lost a lot of time here and was wondering if anyone knows a solution.. Can one of you Apple people help me recover this file somehow? It's for a bigger client of mine so I would like to get the progress back. There seems to be no way of getting in so far
Thanks

There are no Apple employees here but....
Have you tried using the Selective Track Import (STI) feature to recover the tracks one by one from your corrupted project to a new one?
This video is for LP9 but STI works much the same way in LPX and is one of the most useful little 'gadgets' in LP's toobox...
http://support.apple.com/kb/VI255
and a detailed outline with screenshots can be found here...
http://music.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-use-selective-track-import-in-logic-p ro-9--audio-3181
Just create a new project.. and then import one track at a time from your old project into the new one, testing after each to help you identify the problem causing parts of your old project...

Cannot establish scanner session

Preview fails to open a scanner session with a networked HP Photosmart 3210 All-In-One. It just displays "Trying to open scanner session...". The strange thing is, I can scan from a MacBook Air at the same OS and fix level... Any help would be appreciated. tx

RE: Firewall on each Mac on a small Network
If you have your own Router, and you are getting your "strictly local" IP Address from your Router using DHCP, enabling the Firewall on each Mac is generally not necessary. Unsolicited Internet requests are discarded by the Router, and never make it onto your local network.
If your single Mac is connected directly to the Internet (not through a Router you control) and has an Internet-visible IP Address, then you MUST enable the Firewall on that Mac to keep intruders out.
Strictly-local IP Addrresses are in these ranges:

How to open Multiple session

I am trying to OPEN multiple SESSION for same application and unable to do this using FIREFOX 7.01
R 12(Oracle E-Business Suite), we are using FIREFOX for several clients to open the applciation. But i cannot open different session of same applcaition. it is ONLY opening singel JAVA form. In IE 8 or 9, i can do - NO MERGE option or File>New Session option. Is there some workaround for this. I am using Windows 7.

Hi,
When you run the form in the browser, it opens a new database session. For sharing the same session, you need to open/call/new form within the form itself.
For using same JVM, you can use the [JVM Pooling|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/web.1012/b14032/jvm.htm] feature (assuming you are on forms >= 10.1.2).

I have two versions of Pr, one is the latest 2014 and when trying to open a Pr2014 session, I get an error message saying the project was saved in a newer version and cannot be opened. Could there be an issue with an older Pr application on the computer? Please help!

You need to be very careful which project you open in which version.

Facing short dumps when trying to open session in CSA

Hi
All am facing Short dump when i am trying to open session in CSA
Error detials:
go to System Administration workcenter task management up CSA. Choose the Solution
got short dump:

What happened?
    Error in the ABAP Application Program
    The current ABAP program "SAPLDSVAS_PROC" had to be terminated because it has
    come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
Error analysis
    An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
    The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_IMPORT_MISMATCH_ERROR', was

    Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
    exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
    The reason for the exception is:
    During import the system discovered that the target object has
    a different length than the object to be imported.

Please help me to solve this problem

Hello Neni
According to the information I saw in that post it could be caused by a sort of inconsistency of the program code vs a structure.
Wether that is a bug that is in your SAP Solution Manager release or something that is caused by administrative actions (perhaps solving SPAU entries after SP stack update or upgrade) I cannot tell.
I would recommend you either try and find a relative SAP note (narrowing down result to only your SAP Solution Manager system) and searching using the dump keywords. If you cannot find anything I would recommend you to open a customer message so SAP can take a look at the specific error.
If you give more information, perhaps someone on the forum can help you out abit better, which SAP Solution Manager version and so on.
You also didn't answer my question, any recent changes you are aware of ?
Kind regards
Tom

Photosmart C309g - Scanner session fails to open on Mac

I've had this printer (all-in-one) for a few years. It has always been troublesome, unreliable, flakey. Firstly, the much talked about networking issues. I think I've fixed that, for printing at least. Now the scanner, which has worked intermittently, will not work at all - I mean, when I open up the System Prefs > Print Fax > Scan > Open Scanner - it fails to open session.
I have just dumped the old HP software, downloaded the whole installation again and reinstalled. HP Scan just doesn't even find the device. And when I try to scan from the printer to the Mac, the Open in Preview plug-in 'Unexpectedly Quits' every time. This printer/scanner has been an expensive mistake. Soooo frustrating! I have searched the Forums, but could only find one other relevant question on this, from 2009 and the only suggestion there was to 'reinstall', which i have done. The HP drivers for Mac seem really poor.
Any suggestions/known bugs/fixes out there?

Hi,
Please clarify your Mac OS X version, that can be found by clicking the Apple icon and then About this Mac.
That may help to better understand what may cause a such,

How do I fix an error message of "failed to open a session on this devices" for my HP photosmart 6510 scanner?

how do I fix an error message of "failed to open a session on this devices" for my HP photosmart 6510 scanner?

Hello Kwastfamily,
It sounds like you are unable to print from your computer to your printer. I would run through the troubleshooting steps in this article:
Troubleshooting printer issues in OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3147
Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

JUst installed OS10 maverick. Got updated epson scanner software. update refused opening saying third party could not be opened. same thing when trying to open grab tif file in photoshop. any ideas?gr

Just installed maverick. dowmloaded updated drivers for epson scanner. could not open download. got message would not open because third party file. Also tried to open grab tif file in photoshop. also denied as third party file. Any ideas?

If you are trying to install the updated Epson scanner driver when you get this message, it will be due to the installer not being digitally signed - which is odd if it is an updated driver. To get past this block, which is a function of Gatekeeper, hold down the Control button and click the installer. A pop-up window will appear. Select Open from the menu. You will now get the option to install the driver software.

Trying to restore bookmarks and get error msg windows can't open places.sqlite file. also get same message when trying to open json files for prev sessions.

Ibelieve remote user deleted cache and now I have no bookmarks. I have tried to reset firefox and was unable to do so. I tried to restore bookmarks through the places sqlite file and windows cannot open the file. I went to old firefox file on desktop and tried to open a previous version of bookmarks and windows could not open file. I still have bookmark toolbar and a lot of my categories bookmarks but they are all empty. My plugins are still there Can you tell me where to direct windows to open sqlite of json files?

To experiment more safely, could you create a new Firefox profile? The new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder. If we get your bookmarks into the new profile successfully, you can create a backup and restore it in your regular profile.
Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
firefox.exe -P
Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
Please do not delete anything in this dialog.
Click the Create Profile button, choose a name like TESTING, and skip the option to choose a folder. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
If you have backups in the JSON format (e.g., bookmarks-2014...json) try to restore one to this TESTING profile. This article has the steps (you will need to use Choose File... to get to the backup):
[[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
Does that work and give you complete results?
If not, the next thing I would try is to drop in the places.sqlite file you have and see whether Firefox can read it properly.
First, open up a Windows Explorer window to this new profile folder. You can do that using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* Help menu > Troubleshooting Information
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button
Got the list of files? Okay, leaving that window open, switch back over to Firefox and Exit the browser, using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
* File menu > Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup -- you will see the timestamps update in the profile folder, then rename '''places.sqlite''' to something like places.old and drop in the places.sqlite file you want to test.
Start Firefox back up again. Bookmarks?

Failed to Open a Session on the Device - scanning from Mac OSX 10.9.3 - M1217nfw

Hello,
I'm running into some issues scanning wirelessly from our HP LaserJet M1217nfw MFP from any Mac running 10.9.3. I've tried to "Reset Printing System" and re-adding the printer with no success. Each time I open either Preview/Printers & Scanners/Image Capture, I receive the following error message: "Failed to Open a Session on the Device." When I add the printer, I do so by selecting the "+" icon, and selecting "Add Printer or Scanner..." selecting the printer from the list listed via bonjour, and "Select the software" but my model printer is not listed. The closest printer listed is HP LaserJet Professional M1210nf MPF Series, but it doesn't work. Any ideas here?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Welcome to the HP Forums jpuebla,
I see by your post that you are having issues scanning, you aren't able find the drivers to add the printer.
I can help you with this issue.
The drivers for Maverick are the Apple Update drivers.
OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
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)
You might have to run the Apple Updates again with USB cable connected to get the drivers installed.
Then try and add the bonjour printer again.
Test the printer again.
If you are having network issues, then add the printer through the IPProtocal.
After clicking the + button, select the IP icon across the top, type in the printer's IP address, select jet direct below and then Apply.
Test the printer.
I have seen the HP Printer Drivers v.2.16.1 for OS X drivers work successfully, if the issue persists.
If you need further assistance, let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Officejet J3680, Failed to open a session on the device

Officejet J3680, connected by USB to Mac Mini with OS X 10.9.5.
It had been working fine for a long time, but now scanning is broken. Printing still works fine. Full functionality (both print and scan) works fine if I connect the USB cable to my MacBook Pro with same OS.
Specifically, I get the error message "Failed to open a session on the device." This occurs for all types of attempted access (Preview, Image Capture, System Preferences> Printers & Scanners> Scan> Open Scanner...)
I have tried various solutions, up to and including a full uninstall and reinstall, with reboots of both computer and printer.
Apple Software Update (in App Store) indicates that I successfully installed HP Printer Software Update Version 3.0.
Printing System has been Reset multiple times.
Any clues? It is super-frustrating that it works on my laptop, but not the desktop (where it is intended to be attached.)
This question was solved.

Hi James!
Thanks for getting back to me, and yes you're correct and forgive me for overlooking that the printer is working with other devices.
Here are some more suggestions:
Remove the print driver by following these steps first: Sunshyn2005: FRUSTRATED!!! HP 6700 Scanning feature not working with my MAC
Complete a manual uninstall next: Sunshyn2005: Re: Scan Definition
Install the v3.0 driver again: HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X
If that still does not work, try Creating another user account
Hope you are enjoying your Monday

Failed to open a session on the device

I recently updated my hp printer to version 3.0. I tried to scan a document but no longer can. I have uninstalled my printer (hp Photosmart C5280 all-in-one) and installed it again. I keep getting message that it has failed to open a session on the device. PLEASE HELP! My scanner was working fine before this last hp printer software update.

Welcome to the forums CKamm1 and @MissOctober ,
I read about the issue you are both having with your printers and seeing the message "Failed to open a session on the device". I have some links and suggestions that may help you both below.
If either of you are connected to a Mac computer, try these steps in order:
Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
Repair disk permissions
Restart the Mac
Re-add the printer
If you are on a Windows OS, please run the Print and Scan Doctor and let me know the results from running this diagnostic tool.
Also, if either of you are still having an issue, let me know which OS X or Windows OS you're running and if your printer is making copies successfully.
Thank you
