I can't seem to scan from photoshop 6 on my mac running 10.8 mountain lion. the printer and scan function says it's connected to photoshop 6 but in the import pull down it doesn't show up to scan. i also can't scan from the printer menu directly. i can print but no scan. and the software update has no updates from hp to install regarding the printer. i remember installing these already. help!
SOURCE: mac and hp 7780
I had the exact same problem but never could get my Mac to work wirelessly with my 7780 even though the box said it was wireless and worked with OSX....false advertising. Enough of the problem though.
I set up my printer through my Airport Extreme network. That solution worked sporadically. I would get error messages that the computer could not open the printer. I found clicking the "pause" print button and then clicking "resume" would often work but needless to say that became a pain.
So, my IT guy set the printer up through it's IP address over my airport extreme network. The printed has worked flawlessly for the last week since this change but.....the fax no longer works and now the scanner takes about 3 minutes per page.
Overall, I have been a die hard HP fan for years but after the nightmares with the L7780, I will NEVER use another HP product. The item cost me about $459 but I have lost or spent over $5,000 in diminished productivity and IT charges and it STILL DOESN'T WORK AS ADVERTISED!

I had this very same problem yesterday & solved it, after about 4 hours, with a clean install!!
Check my "solution" post at another question where I explained it in detail.

Testimonial: "Thanks this got my options back on the printer but I still cant scan to paint etc. It works from the HP director but not from the printer itself."
An Intel Mac
and
OS 10.5 (Leopard) or later (including snow leopard, lion, mountain lion and even mavericks)
there IS a fix: Just download the free Vuescan software for Mac, then use it to scan with the MF4018.
Go to: http://www.hamrick.com
Download Vuescan for Mac OS X
Install it, and start the application. It will recognize any scanners attached.
NOTE: If Vuescan asks you to identify your printer, you will not see the MF4018 listed. Choose the MF4010 instead - the 4010 and the 4018 use the same drivers.
