Unable to scan

OK…brand new iMac and have it hooked up to a HP Laserjet 3055 (about 6 years old)…I can print, but can't scan. I went to driver update on HP site, updated there, it seems to not want to download the HP update provided by Apple…Am I missing something, or should I give up? Thanks! Christine

Hi,
Scanning is no longer supported for your product on Mountain Lion or on any previous OS X version starting from 10.6:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c03411613 #A2
You may try the following workaround at your own risk, however consider that the latest scan software was provided for v10. which is a very different architecture than 10.8:
Enter System Preferences > Print & Scan, select the 3050 printer ant then click the Minus sign to remove it.
Download the Mac OS 10.5 installation below by clicking the download button:
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software9/COL22359/ma-58935-1/LJMFP305x339xOSX10.5 Update-v8.2.dmg
Make sure to skip the Setup Assistant and follow the steps till the installation completes.
Perform the following steps in order to provide the Setup Assistant the right permissions to complete on Lion:
1. From the Utilities folder, open the Terminal
2. Type “sudo “ (with space) in the Terminal.
3. Locate the HP Setup Assistant in folder Applications/HP LaserJet Software
4. Right-click (Or CTRL + Letf click from the Apple keyoard) the HP Setup Assistant and choose “Show Package Contents”.
5. Open the “Contents” folder and then the “MacOS” folder. It should contain the Unix Executable File of HP Setup Assistant.
6. Drag the HP Setup Assistant (Unix Executable File) into the Terminal and press enter. Terminal will ask for the password of the user.
7. After writing the password press Enter Button.
Now follow the Setup Assistant Steps.
Good luck,

I am unable to scan from my HP all in one printer/scanner

Since installing Mavericks I am unable to scan using my HP printer/scanner. I have uninstalled the software and tried to just use Apple method - but really cannot find out how to scan and save. Does anyone have any ideas?

Unable to scan and communicate with scan function C6180 Vista Home Premium 64 bit Printing works

I have an all in one C6180 Photosmart connected by wireless network (infrastructure). Network consists of 2-laptops, 1-Desktop and the printer. Everything works from HP solution Center on the Compaq laptop and the Dell desktop both running Windows XP. My newest laptop is a Dell studio XPS core2 2.4ghz running Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit. I am unable to scan from the Dell Laptop using HP Solution Center nor can I scan from the printer buttons to the laptop. Solution Center opens I select "scan document" and immediately get an error message "unable to communicate with scanning device. Likewise with the copy function. The laptop does recognize the printer though and I am able to print wirelessly. All functions work when connected via USB so I believe the printer is fine. I have been working with this problem since I bought the printer in 2007. I spent many hours reading hundreds of internet posts, talking by phone with HP and via e-mail support from HP. I became frustrated and gave up for awhile but now I want to see if there are any new solutions that I don't know about. I downloaded full feature software and drivers for the 6180 from HP and performed various levels of uninstall (L1, L2, L3, L4). I also cleaned the registry with ccleaner, windows disk cleanup and manual registry deletions when allowed per HP. I have checked port settings, tried stopping HP functions is Services.Msc. The Digital monitor is currently running, however no scanner communication-computer to 6180 and no scanner communication 6180 to computer. I can print and fax from computer wirelessly. I have ran the HP diagnostic utility separately and it appears everything is fine, connection IPaddress etc. During install when prompted to run test it says the printer is connected to the network. I have tried to add a device to the network after install and get the message no wireless devices found. The scanner does not appear under Cameras and Scanners in control panel. Nor will it find the scanner when I try to add device. Firewalls and antivirus have been turned off. Still can't make it work. Suggestions please.

Sorry about your pain. L3 uninstall is what I recommend. Re-install from hp.com and this time, with the printer properly attached it should flow OK.

I have a MacBook Air (10.8.2) connected to a Canon MP530 printer. I am unable to scan documents as it appears my Mac does not support MP Navigator. Any ideas? I have made an inquiry to Canon but have not received any answers yet.

Why do you say your MBA won't support it? MP Navigator for OS X 8 and the MP530 is available here.

Unable to scan to HP 8600 after Mavericks update

I am unable to scan to my HP 8600 Officejet Pro since updating to Mavericks 10.9.4. It keeps telling me that it can't open a session. I have reset the printing system and downloaded and installed the printer drivers but still get the same response. I have tried using the USB connection and wireless.
Before updating the Mavericks software, the Mac and the printer communicated with no problems. The printer works fine but cannot get the scanner to respond at all. After searching the web, all I can find is that HP are responsible for correcting the glitch but can't get a response from either HP nor Apple and have now become totally frustrated with the whole thing.

I have the same problem. I was trying to upgrade my 3G iPhone to 4.1 and ran into problems. Then I did a right-click "Restore on my iPhone in iTunes and halfway in it just says "cannot restore this iPhone" or something to that effect and then a message pops up asking if you want to send the info to Apple and that's it!
Need help too!

Restoring .dmg image from external to Mac HD in Disk Utility: "Unable to scan image (Input/output error)"

Hi guys,
So I've got a problem with restoring the image backup I did (using Disk Utility) of my 500GB HD on my MBP which was acting weird or maybe even crashed a few months ago. After creating the backup image and putting it on my external device, I installed Mavericks back to see if everything was alright (mainly the HD) and everything seems okay.
I did try restoring the backup image through disk utility before installing mavericks (thus erasing everything again on the HD) AND after. But nothing..
The whole process starts fine and then it starts scanning the image when after maybe a good 10-15min in I get a message that says that it was unable to scan the image. I tried verifying the disk(s), everything came out "OK". Also tried scanning it through Images > Scan image for Restore... with the same results.
While searching I've seen people getting messages like "Unable to scan filename.dmg (Invalid argument)" and "Unable to scan filename.dmg
(Internal error)" but none have (Input/output error)
The screen grab is below.
I also came across something about using terminal/commands but I'm not that savvy with it, especially considering that those there had issues with either mounting or trouble finding the image.
I've also tried moving the backup image to a different external device 2TB and also the desktop because I read it may have to do with the format of the externals or maybe free space. But THEN I would get a message saying
"The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in "Mac HD Backup.dmg" can't be read or written. Error code -36"
Fyi ALL my externals are HFS+/Journaled and the backup image format was compressed.
I REALLY don't know what to do next. Was it the wrong move to create a dmg image? Have I lost everything? Is there still a way out?
If anyone can help, THANKS!

Unable to scan and install windows updates on Win 2008 R2 server

I've encountered some of my win 2008 servers are unable to scan and receive windows updates from SCCM 2012. Browse through the logs and found some error code related to
0x80244023. Excerpt from the WindowsUpdate and WUAHandler is as below. Searched the net and found some workaround which is to rename the registry key
WinHTTPSettings to WinHTTPSettingsx (by adding x at the end of the string)
under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> Internet Settings -> Connections.
I've did just that on the effected servers and after running again the Software Update Scan Cycle action, it is now able to scan and install the updates. My questions is, based on you guys experience, is there any repercussion (apart from enable to install
software updates) that I could encounter in changing the registry key value WinHTTPSettings?

Hi
If SCCM is setup correctly and your boundaries are correct then once you deploy updates the agents will pick them up.
Also make sure you SUP role has the FQDN set. Lastly if you are using port 8530 make sure it is open.

Disk Utility: after creating the .DMG (compressed image) When "scan image for restore" finishes it displays "unable to scan (internal error)". Since the process was scanning for about 1 hr is this a fake warning?

External 500GB drive is partitioned with 400GB for Mac OS extended (journalling) and 2nd partition formatted today as "ExFAT".
Yesterday I tried to create a disk image of my HD to no avail - this was compressed on a FAT partition. I got a warning after running the <scan image for restore> saying "unable to scan (internal error)"
I rang Apple support who suggested formatting a partition as MAC OS extended (journalling) and choose to save the image as "read/write'. The image process stopped writing at about 200GB and then the file size jumped to 499GB (ie the size of the HD). But the process did nothing for about an hour so I foce quit disk utility (as suggested by apple support)
My current attempt was to format the external drive again; this time with a 400GB Mac OS extended (journal) format; plus a 100GB ExFAT format partition. The new image was created after about 2.5hrs with a compressed size of 149GB. However, after running the "scan image for restore" facility I got the warning message "unable to scan filename " (internal error). The process was scanning the image file according to the progress bar - this took about hour - thus the warning is a puzzle.
If anyone can say more about this error I would really appreciate knowing tips for using disk utility. The screen grab is below.
"unable to scan filename " (internal error)
thanks

Thanks for a quick reply <baltwo>. You’ve answered that it is not a fake message!
fyi: I thought that I would use my external Buffalo for two purposes; namely the smaller ExFAT partition for copying stuff to my win7 netbook. The larger partition was to be used as my imac image of SL. So this was my first attempt at using disk utility - the idea being to hold an image backup at another location. Plus I now have the Lion thumbdrive ready to upgrade from SL and so being cautious wanted to have a SL image backup
Anyway I followed the apple instructions using my mac 10.6.3 install DVD but it would appear from other discussions that <unable to scan (internal error)> is not unique to me.
I’ll get back to apple telephone support for further advice.
I would though be grateful for an “idiots’ guide to making an image backup of my internal HD that runs SL 10.6.8
eg should I have just one partition on the external USB drive? format it as Mac OS extended? create the image as compressed or read/write? Basically I’ll do whatever will work!!
thanks again

You are not addressing Apple here. If you have a problem, describe it and someone might be able to help. Just to be sure, the wi-fi on the phone will go off after the phone goes into sleep mode unless it is actively being used. This is a battery saving measure. If you are actively using the internet, and the phone is still awake, then the wi-fi should remain connected.

HP 5610 Officejet all in one unable to scan

have misplaced the original installtion CD. have dowloaded from HP the complete program. I am able to print documents from pc, however, unable to scan as I have no ico or possibility to access the printer from PC.

Have reinstalled several times but still no access to this control icon. How can I get this back.?. Thanks for any help, this has me bottle necked at the moment, as scanning is what I really need to be doing at the moment. Thanks again

Unable to scan and email to hotmail

yesterday i did a disk clean up not sure if this is related to this or not. i always scan, save and email to hotmail. Today it i an scan but when i try to send to hotmail address it says error unable to receive or send messages to hotmail. What is wrong?? Thanks

Hi , Based on your description, unable to scan to hotmail, I suspect the issue is related to the Browser or your Microsoft settings. HP scan is not designed to scan to web mail, so I am not sure how much help I can be, but I will happily do all I can to assist you. What Browser are you using?

Google Chrome Support I don't think the Disk Clean up would have effected your ability to scan to you hotmail, but perhaps you could perform a system restore back to when it was working. I am not sure that would resolve the issue, but might be worth trying.

Unable to scan (internal error)

Hi Apple Have a question,
I am trying to create a bootable partition on my external firewire Hard Drive for Leopard OS.
First I created .dmg file : "Mas OS X DVD.dmg"
2nd > after creating the dmg file - I ran "Scan image restore" on the DMG file
3rd > after running completing both steps above the system generates this error message:
"Unable to scan "Mac OS X install Dvd.dmg" (internal error).
According to my research, before installing Leopard on to an external hard drive as a bootable partition, the dmg file must be scanned before completing the process.
However, the scan is not working. Can someone shed some light on how I can
get this off the ground.
Again:
The object is to create a bootable partition of leopard on to my external hard drive for
Technical maintenance support of my computers.
Please send me your solution or thoughts
Message was edited by: oross

Sorry, no Apple here, only other users. That said, I have no idea of what you're trying to do. If you want to make a bootable partition, all you have to do is install the software onto the partition. Alternatively, you can put a bootable backup/clone of your current boot volume onto it using Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper!. BTW, the error indicates that the .dmg file you created is corrupt.

Scanjet 4890 Unable To Scan with Mac OS 10.9 Mavericks

I am unable to scan on my Epson Artisan 730 since downloading yosemite

Since downloading Yosemite on my Mac Book Pro I am unable to scan on my Epson Artisan 730 printer. The printing function still works.

Did you add the printer using the AirPrint driver? If so, add it again using the Epson driver (by selecting the Epson driver in the "Use" menu in AddPrinter). If you don't have the Epson drivers installed, you can download them here:

Officeject 7500A: Unable to scan, copy, or send a fax

I get the following error message: "Unable to scan, copy, or send a fax", whenever I try to do any of these operations.
I already did a semi-full reset. And a normal reset (remove from the plug, wait for an hour, and return it).
And I can't connect the printer directly to the outlet, because it supplies 220V (as in the european standard) and the printer operates on 110V, thus I have an adapter that must be connected.
The problem was not solved.
Are there any suggestions for solving the problem? Can a full-full reset help (and if yes, then how can I do that reset)?
Best,
Yuval
