What does the message "Another program has control of HP imaging device mean"?  I get this when I am trying to scan.

What does the message "another program ha control of HP imaging mean when I am trying to scan something. How do i correct it?

You may need to ask HP. I had the same issue with a networked (via ethernet) home HP multi-function. Sometimes the only way to get it to scan was to completely disconnect it from the network and connect it to only one Mac with a USB cable. Even that did not alwatys work.
Eventually, Apple started pushing out HP printer updates via Software Update. One of those finally made that error message to go away.
So run Software Update and see it there are new drivers that Apple made avaialble.

  • C7280 - Cannot scan. Error message says another program has control over the device

    I opened the HP Device Manager to do a scan. I accepted the settings and the scan started. But part way through the scan, I stopped the scan as I realized that I wanted to change the resolution. I quit the Device Manager  and restarted it but when I did, I got an error message saying:
    "The function you have requested cannot be performed because another program has control over the device".
    I don't have anything else open and so I can't work out what program has control over the printer.

    This question was solved.

    I was thinking that if you stopped the process in mid-scan that there may be some background processes still running. Rebooting usually stops those processes.
    No, you will not have to do this each time.  Next time, though, it may be easier to just let the scan complete and the do another scan at whatever setting you want.

    Found the answer on the HP site. It's the original software that works with this printer OS X 10.6!!

  • HP "another program has control of the device" Scanning Issue on Mac OSX 10.8.5

    I am running an HP C7200 series all-in-one on a Mac OSX 10.8.5 system. Everything has worked fine for years. Suddenly when I got to fax using HP Scan I get the following message: The scan cannot be performed because another program has control of the HP imaging device. This may be the result of a recent Mac update, but I'm not sure. I have tried many solutions from forums, including: restarting the program, restarting the printer while holding down the OK and Help keys, and installing RC Default Apps 2.1 and disabling the bundle extension preference. I have not yet uninstalled and reinstalled my HP software because I'm afraid something else will get messed up. 
    Also, I can scan by doing the following tedious chore. Open up the Systems Preferences, click on Print & Fax, click on Scan, Click on Open Scanner, click on Show Details, then fill in the scanning details. It's a pain compared to opening up HP Scan and clicking on scan. I can also scan via Image Capture but it also doesn't offer some of the nice features of HP Scan.
    Any other solutions?

    Hello NgnRoom,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having an issue with not being able to fax.
    As you stated , this could be caused by a Mac update.
    I suggest that we do an uninstall of the software and drivers and then while the unit is uninstalled, we then reset the printing system.  Here is a link on How to reset the printing system.  Once the reset is complete, I also suggest we Repair disk permissions.
    The next step would be to reinstall the printer on to the Mac.  Here is the link for the HP Print Drivers v3.0 for OS X.
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.

  • What does the message "Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired" when repairing disk permissions?

    What does the message "Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired" when repairing disk permissions?

    It's just a status message, albeit a misleading one, and can be ignored.

  • Can't scan-another program has control

    My HP Photosmart Studio program had suddenly stopped allowing me to scan from my Deskjet F4440. I get a message that, "The scan cannot be performed because another program has control of the HP imaging devise." I've performed the suggested fixes: restarted the program, closed all programs that might be using the device, and rebooted my computer. No luck. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
    Using iMac, OSX, v. 10.9.4

    Hi,
    The HP Photosmart Studio is a very old software which is intended for Mac OS X v10.6 (Snow Leopard), it is not intended for newer versions as Mavericks and issues are expected..
    Unplug the printer, from the Applications folder open the Hewlett-Packard folder and select Uninstall.
    Next install the software for Mavericks by following the steps below:

    Once you are done, follow these steps to scan on Mavericks:

  • What does the message "No Editor " mean ?

    What does the message "No Editor" mean?

    Okay - the message means that the system knows of no editor (program) to use to view these files.
    Since I gather you recently upgrade to Mavericks from Snow Leopare (you might want to update your profile), I am guessing these movies are in the file format for a program that no longer runs on Mavericks (or is not installed).
    It is possible that you can change the "kind" ie. the file format extension, to one that the system recognizes, and have it open these files with another program.  You will have to experiment to see what works.

  • CRS 5.0.2 What Does the Message "%MIVR-MGR_MGR-1-MGR_PARTIAL_SERVICE: Manager Manager in partial service"

    What Does the Message "%MIVR-MGR_MGR-1-MGR_PARTIAL_SERVICE: Manager Manager in partial service"

    CRS is HA
    Thanks by advance for your help

    Hi.
    Manager Manager is the controller of other Managers... File Manager, Document Manager, Script Manager, etc. If you expand Manager Manager which one of the Managers do you see in Partial or Out of Service? Based on that you would troubleshoot from there. For example if Document Manager is in Partial you need to make sure all of your XML documents are properly uploaded.
    If you need TAC assistance to troubleshoot this the best thing for them is if you restart the CRS Engine amd confirm Manager Manager is still in partial service, if so provide the \program files\wfavvid\log\MIVR\ciscoMIVR.log covering the startup event.
    I hope this helps.
    Regards,
    Andy

  • What does the message (unable to launch app at this time try again lat ....done. Retry

    What does the message mean( unable to launch app at this time   Done.    Retry ) .

    The only other thing I can think of since this problem has to do with downloading on 3G is that the signal strength isn't good enough. Try a reset on the device, hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and release. Once the phone restarts see if you can get it done. If not, you might want to check with iTunes support and see if they see anything wrong with your account.
    Have you tried downloading on wifi? Does this work? Have you checked in iTunes for available downloads to try and get what you have cleared to start over?

  • What does the message mean time capsule already in use when it refueses to backup?

    What does the message mean time capsule already in use when it refueses to backup?

    Just the network is cranky..
    Simple first step.. restart the TC.. ie unplug the power cord.. count to 10.. plug it back in.
    Second step if that fails.. restart the network.. off everything.. restart in order.. modem.. TC.. clients 2min gap.
    Finally if you are prepared to fight you can load 5.6 utility onto Mountain Lion and do a disconnect all users.. or a few other ways.. turn off file sharing and turn it back on.
    The issue being TM did not dismount the sparsebundle correctly.
