When I try to scan from my printer it does not connect

When I try to scan from my printer I get a message "Cannot find HP deskjet 3050 j610". But i can print from it and get printer data like ink supply. This started abruptly today. It was working OK until a couple days ago.  The printer is connected by a USB cable. I have tried updating driver and "fixing" scanning problems via HP menus without success.  If I press the scan button on the printer it says "scan error. try scan from computer" But this is what I usually do by using the compute icon on the START menu.
This question was solved.

I've resolved the problem. The basic steps were (1) using the HP links to update my printer driver and search for errors in the scan program. (2) restart my printer and computer. After doing the first part,  I saw no results listed. Normally I would have restarted the printer and the computer, but was afraid of losing my sites and the survey so I continued to search the various comments.  I found a reference to this site in one of the post near mine for a #7520 device but cannot get back to it right now to give the author of the post. I think I sent him a reply.

This site gives a lot of advice for various situations and devices. I followed the advice as it applied to my computer and printer which ended with step 2 (I use a USB connection) and the scanner worked  again.

    Been waiting along time for this problem to be fixed. Unfortunately the update hasn't help at all and even made the situation worse. Now my airplay connection from iMac to stereo abruptly stops after about 10-15 min. so I have to go over and quit wifi, start it up and find my airport network. Not sure why it always has a problem with the apple airport network. My neighbor's pc network is always there.

  • I've found two bugs in iOS 7. 1) declined calls does not appear as missed calls on the lock screen/notification centre. 2) when bluetooth is enabled from control center, it does not connect to an already paired bluetooth device

    I've found two bugs in iOS 7:
    1) declined calls does not appear as missed calls on the lock screen/notification centre - iOS 7.0.2.
    2) when bluetooth is enabled from control center, it does not connect to an already paired bluetooth device automatically - iOS 7.0.

  • When trying to install apps from app store it does not prompt an apple id and after 15 minutes says "cannot connect to itunes store"

    When trying to install apps from app store it does not prompt an apple id and after 15 minutes says "cannot connect to itunes store".

    Your Apple ID may be greyed out because of restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions>Allowed Changes>Accounts. If you set that restriction, your ID will be greyed out. Nobody can make changes to the account without entering the passcode to change disable the restriction.
    Maybe something in here will help, even though this is not exactly what you are experiencing.

  • HT204053 Pop up menu shows my Apple ID in my iphone as my old email Apple ID. This happens when I try to go into iCloud . It does not show my new apple ID.

    Pop up menu shows my Apple ID in my iphone as my old email Apple ID. This happens when I try to go into iCloud . It does not show my new apple ID.

    Hi jackburkholder,
    You will need to delete the iCloud account with your old ID, but before you can do that, you will have to go back into Manage Your Apple ID, and change your Apple ID back to the old address. Don't worry about verifying it, you just need to change it.
    Then, go into Settings>iCloud and turn off Find My iPhone (it will ask you for a password - put in your current one to turn it off). Then, scroll down to the bottom of the screen and Delete the iCloud account using your current password.
    Also go into Settings>iTunes & App Store, clidk on your old ID and sign out of iTunes.
    Then go back to Manage Your Apple ID and put your new Apple ID back in.
    Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your new Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID.
    Go back into Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign on with your new Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID.
    Cheers,

    There is no way to consolidate iTunes accounts.
    Setting up an iPhone has never required creation of a new Apple ID.
    You've apparently purchased content with both Apple ID's.  Sign into the device with the correct Apple ID and sync the content.

  • I have 2 email addresses on the phone. How come only one accepts a alert tone. When I receive an email from 2nd email it does not notify me of its arrival. What am I doing wrong

    I have 2 email addresses on the phone. How come only one accepts a alert tone. When I receive an email from 2nd email it does not notify me of its arrival. What am I doing wrong?

    Each email account can have its own alert or notification settings.
    Settings > Notifications > Mail > tap on each account and set the alerts you want.

  • Why when I delete a document from the print que does it not delete?

    When I send a document to my hp photosmart printer and there is an error, I go in to delete the document from the print que on my hp laptop and it shows it as being deleted but nothing happens and I can't print any other document. How do I fix this?

    If your problem is not resolved please read this post then provide some details.  What exactly is your printer model?  (There are hundreds of Photosmart models...)  What operating system?  How is the printer connected?
    All the Photosmart printer models except the first one had a  "cancel" button on the front panel.  It may be easier to press this to cancel the print job rather than deleting the print job from the spooler. The cancel button is typically marked with an "X"; pressing it will stop printing and discard the remainder of the print job.

    I have my new MX922 connected to my home network via wireless. When I attempt to scan photos I receive an error message stating that the scanning software was unable to communicate with the scanner. Code:5,157,69.
    I have no issues when printing or faxing it is only the scanning function. I am using the Canon supplied software - My Image Garden - to do the scan.
    Please advise.

  • After updating to firefox 17.0 when I do a scan with Norton 360 it does not pick up tracking cookies what has changed from 16.0.02

    After updating to firefox 17.0 when I do a scan with Norton 360 it no longer picks up tracking cookies. These cookies that were picked up with firefox 16.0.02 what have you changed? Further I am getting sick of these updates - at least tell us users what has changed in new versions.

    Did you update Norton to the latest version to get support for Firefox 17?
