Windows scan and fax problems

I am not a computer guy.  I have had nothing but problems reaching out via phone and online support for this simple problem.  Microsift support web site is not working properly.  Please help.  I can not find the windows fax and scan
program on my windows server 2002 R2 that I just bought.  Where can I find it and how do I activate it?  Everywhere I look for it on my computer I can't find it.  Thanks

  • Scanner and fax problems with the Officejet 7410 AIO

    Hi
    I have Windows 7 SP1 Ultimate 64 bit and I installed the basic drivers for the network of the Officejet 7410 AIO printer and I checked that all its functions worked properly.
    Now, the functionality of the scanner and fax do not work more as in the "Devices and Printers" not appear more their relative icons. How come? How do I install them manually?
    Thanks
    Bye

    Hi balubeto,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I see that you are having scanning, and faxing problems with your HP Officejet 7410 on Windows 7 SP1.
    I would recommend the following:
    Run the HP Print and Scan Doctor, to diagnose the issue.
    Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Re-install the software using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
     Hope this helps, and have a great day!

  • How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files?

    How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files? I need to look at several thousand PDF files. It takes too long to open each one individually. The only thing I could think of is combining them into large groups and then using the Navigation index. But I like the way windows Picture and Fax Viewer does it because you can keep the files separate. Combining PDFs causes loss of individual file names. That would be a problem since I do need to have the individual file names.

    Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is a DLL and is started via a rundll32.exe call and can't be set as an application to handle images in Firefox 3 and later versions.
    Try to set Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as the default viewer in Windows, then it should be listed automatically in the Mozilla Firefox Browse dialog.

  • Ipod does not appear in itunes after windows scan and fix

    Two days ago, I restored my Ipod classic using Itunes 9.2.0.61. After restoration my Ipod started freezing Itunes and Vista. At a point, I saw a blue screen and my computer forced a shutdown. When it rebooted, Vista kept asking to automatically "scan and fix" problems on my Ipod. Thinking that would solve the "freeze" problem, I stupidly went ahead to have Vista scan and fix my Ipod. Now the freeze problem is gone, but my Ipod does not appear in Itunes. I have tried the five Rs from Apple, but that has not helped. Anyone with a solution?

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4. Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job.
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

  • HP Photosmart scan and fax no longer working

    Has anyone had their hp photosmart scan and fax stop working after installing lion os x? And, if so, what can be done to fix it? Thanks!

  • Why does my pdf file open in 'windows picture and fax viewer'?

    Anytime someone sends me a pdf file, when I click 'open', it automatically opens up my 'windows picture and fax viewer' and of course, I get nothing. So, in order to read a pdf file, I must first save it, then go into my Adobe Reader, and open it from there. Can anyone tell me how to change that? It's only happened since I upgraded Adobe Reader to 8.0. What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks

    Right click the pdf file and click on Properties. In the General tab click the Change button and associate the Adobe Reader 8 program to the pdf file. Click Ok, then Apply.
    I assume the connection to this forum is that the pdf file is a Lighroom generated slideshow.

  • I think the last update did not work, and now I cannot open jpeg attachments with windows picture and fax viewer, it is not listed in the tools/options drop dow

    I don't believe the last Thunderbird update worked, there was a very fast error message. But since then I cannot open jpeg attachments in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. If I go to Tools, then options, the jpeg line is grayed out, and the drop down menu does not show Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. The windows picture and fax viewer still works on my computer, but not for opening attachments.

    I did as you said - deleted the entry for jpeg, but when I tried to open one there is not an option for Picture and Fax Viewer in the drop down, and it can't be found by browsing. It's just not there anywhere even though I can see pics in it except in email attachments.

  • How do I get Windows Picture and Fax Viewer to be the application used to view pics, images? It doesn't even show up in the list of "other applications".

    Image files(jeg, gif, etc) are assocaited with the picture and fax viewer in the files options but firefox doesn't see the app, even inthe open with other list

  • What multifunction(all-in-one) printers work with Mac OS 10.9 and 10.8? - Printing, scanning and faxing!

    What multifunction (all-in-one) BW laserjet printers work with Mac OS 10.9 and 10.8? - Printing, scanning and faxing!
    I had a HP3052 whith a scaner message error 5 which can't print anymore. Anyway scanning with this HP is not supported anymore. So looking into the huge HP compatibility list on the web I see no good choice:
    http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/mostViewedDi splay?javax.portlet.begCacheTok=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.endCacheTo k=com.vignette.cachetoken&javax.portlet.prp_efb5c0793523e51970c8fa22b053ce01=wsr p-navigationalState%3DdocId%253Demr_na-c03800910-1%257CdocLocale%253Den_US&javax .portlet.tpst=efb5c0793523e51970c8fa22b053ce01&sp4ts.oid=25475&ac.admitted=13914 44156214.876444892.492883150
    The new HP LaserJet M127fn MFP  duplex is not even on this list...
    I prefer laser than ink printers (I hate buying cartridges every month or have the system stuck with dry ink when not used for a month).
    There are some good brother laserprinters, e.g. MFC7860DW, but PC-Fax doesn't work on Mac (I believe).
    Thanks to anybody with some good ideas.

    Thanks baltwo, but I am looking for a printer-copier-scanner-fax machine. I think I might go with the brother
    http://www.brother-usa.com/MFC/ModelDetail/4/MFC7860DW/Overview#.UvAHCf1LrfM
    mainly because more and more people seem to have bad experiences with HP printers in the $150-$300 range and manufactured in recent years;
    and forget about faxing...

  • When will there be scan and fax drivers for kyocera FS-C2126 MFS

    I am new to MAC OS X and was a bit astonished that the MFP printers manufactured by kyocera are not supported any more regarding scan and fax option. This was not really clear to me when I checked their driver homepage a few weeks ago. I managed to get at least printing work on my FS-C2126 with their drivers but kyocera support told me that scanning and fax is not supported under os x 10.7.x neither via USB nor via ethernet. From their side there's no plan to provide a new driver, they told me to ask apple about that issue. Thats a bit frustrating as the kyocera printers are commonly used in business environment and I cannot beleive that there should be no way to use them in combination with a mac...
    Does anyone know a solution for these issues? Maybe a (commercial?) third party software? I could not find any clues in the internet. I already checked SANE for scandrivers but there are none.
    What's your experience with apple regarding these things? Is it likely the'll provide drivers from their side?
    Any help is welcome.
    Regards
    Stefan

    I totally agree but for whatever reason they don't at the moment....
    I just read that apple is providing updated printer driver packages sometimes (they just released packages for samsung, canon, gestedner etc.) so it seems they do take care about these issues.

  • Windows Keboard and Booting Problem (on a Mac laptop)

    Hi, I've been putting up with a really strange (and annoying) problem that my laptop has been going through. I have a Santa Rosa MacBook Pro with OS Leopard, and I put on a Windows XP Pro (with Service Pack 2) NTFS partition. It used to work fast at first--especially booting up and logging on. I have noticed that now when I log onto Windows (no other user accounts , just mine) the wallpaper, desktop, desktop icons, start bar, all load. But when I click on My Computer it takes a good minute and a half for all the components to be displayed (like C drive , the CD drive, Shared Documents). I only have one partition which is C drive. But for a minute and a half, the flashlight icon keeps moving back and forth. Even if I click on any icon, the cursor will turn into a sandtimer but no programs will open once all the drives show up in the My Computer window.
    My initial theory was that maybe it's searching for My Documents which I shifted to one of my external harddrives. But that doesn;t seem to be it. When I log off and log back in, it loads much faster. I can open programs in 2 seconds. Also, I realized that the Apple keyboard features (which is controlling volume and brightness) works only then. If I had to boot up Windows, not only does it take long to load (although shutting down is pretty quick), the brightness and volume keys don't work. I have to set it manually through Control Panel. So now if I have to open up Windows, the ritual is that I sit around for a minute and a half (which is a very long time if u think about it) and just when it's working I force myself to log off (so the volume and brightness keys work once I log back on)
    I suppose it's worth mentioning that I had downloaded this "skin" which makes XP look like Vista, but I uninstalled it now although not completely since it needed the Service Pack 2 CD which I don't have at the moment (I'm on vacation) . I would think that could be the problem, but then why does simply logging off and on make Windows work like a charm? Is it an update glitch? Has anyone had this problem before? Could somebody please help me since I'm really tired of waiting around or this stupid thing to load (not to mention hearing myself come up with stupid theories). This has been going on for 4 and half months now. Come to think of it it's been a while since I received any Bootcamp updates from Apple (unless they just haven't released any that could fix such a problem)
    Just in case my specs are-- 2.4 GhZ, OS 10.5, nVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT, 15 inch display, 250 GB (of which 30 GB is for Windows).
    I'll be waiting for any answers/suggestions/tips/solutions. Thanks so much in advance =)

    I have 3 iPods, mine, by younger brothers, and my older brothers. My older brothers has been used on a Mac and works fine he hasn't tried to use it on the windows computer yet. My iPod has gotten all of its songs from the Windows computer. My younger brothers iPod got all of its songs from the Mac and wants the songs off of the Windows computer also. The Windows XP computer keeps saying that the iPod is not readable and needs updating. I have tried updating it and it says that it has the latest software at that point. Is there any way to get the songs from both the Mac and Windows XP computer onto the same iPod?
