Cannot scan wirelessly from HP Photosmart 4580 wirelessly

uninstall the printer driver then connect it with computer if computer detect the printer then install it and print the documents.
if computer not detect the printer then connection media like USB cable or wireless connectivity setting

first you confirm scanning is working or not if it is working fine there is no issue with printer, if it is not working problem found with scanner assay you need to contact hp service center....

check cartridge black

A wireless printer must connect to the wireless router so you must know the SSID & password of your wireless router.

Initial setup must be done fist by connecting and loading the drivers to the PC. Once done you can print wirelessly because you are printing to a networked TCPIP port.

Solved! I now can scan wirelessly throughout my network. I downloaded the drivers for a friends newer HP all-in-one scanner and I can scan. Look for the driver for the 309a series of printers and install it. Complete the install and set up your existing printer. You can now scan, print, fax wirelessly. It includes updated HP apps for these functions that work with OS 10.5. I didn't upgrade to the HP 1.1 drivers through Apple. The file name is: PS_AIO_05_C309a_Net_Full_Mac_WW_102.dmg

1. did you install the software to the computer?
2. what is the OS of the computer?
3. how is the printer connected to the computer?
4. are you trying to scan from the printer or from the computer?
5. are you getting an error messages when you tried to scan?

Hi there
I not know why you getting this troble, but maybe another way round it for now is to Copy with your mouse the website page you want and then Paste it into your Microsoft Word, or any other word program you have then Print it.

All the best Pineworks

Download what you need from hp.com

I am not an expert, only a c7280 user. I use my printer wirelessly and was having problem scanning when using the controls directly on the printer (scan menu). By trial and error, I tried scanning by going to HP solution center on my computer and just followed the directions from the scan menu. That worked. If you can print wirelessly, you can scan wirelessly. I agree the HP support is a huge waste of time. I only get mad talking to them.

Hi,
It is possiblethat the all in one solution software you used in XP doesn't work with Vista, after some update or other. You did the right thing by uninstalling and reinstalling. Make sure you have the correct driver from the HP site..

But you can still scan and copy by using Windows Photo Gallery.

1. Click on files tab at the top in Window Photo Gallery.
2. Click on import from camera or scanner.
3. Highlight your scanner icon (ie HP C6180) then click import.
4. New scan window will popup, now you can preview or scan using this basic looking Vista utility.

Hope that helps.
