Computer won't initialize printer

I have re-installed my original software 3 times on for my C3180.  I am able to print but not scan or anything else.  I get a "HPIO Trap Monitor Not Launched" message.  When I try to use the Assist me Set-up, no printers appear in the list.  I am using a MacBook Pro.  My scanner.  Now it doesn't. Please help.

SOURCE: can't scan PLEASE HELP!

SOLUTION: Download the latest version (v 7.7.2) of the HP software from the HP website at www.hp.com. Uninstall the previous software and then reinstall the downloaded software. WORKAROUND: Follow the steps below:

  1. Load the slides or negatives in the TMA and place it on the scanner glass.
  2. Open Image Zone and click on Scan Picture to scan everything.
  3. After the scan is completed, change the settings from glass to scan slide/negative from TMA. The unit will scan again and show the four slides or negatives in the preview.
  4. Click on the first picture in the scan preview and make the following changes:
    • change the dust and scratch removal/sharpness to none
    • change the resolution to 72 dpi
  5. Click on the second picture in the scan preview and make the same changes described above.
  6. Click on the third picture and then the fourth picture and make the same changes.
  7. Click Accept . The correctly scanned slide or negative images will be saved in the Gallery.

SOURCE: When installing the 6310 all

There are two ways for install the Scanner using only "the driver" and using "HP Photosmart Studio Includes Support for Mac OS X v10.3, v10.4 and v10.5 (Leopard)" using the driver not include IRIS OCR software only the driver to scan and thats why say "An OCR error ocurred, couldn't create file". Installing the HP Photosmart Studio fix the problem.

SOURCE: HP L7650 Scanner Could Not Be Initialized in Leopard (Not Found)

If you're using Vista, this happens all too regularly with HP printers. I've had a few where I have to uninstall everything then re-install to make things work.
Two weeks later the same thing, same process.
Try downloading latest drivers from HP and see if that helps. HP don't admit there's a problem.
Don't seem to have this problem with Epson printers tho.

Hi,

According to your problem first reinstall the Mac version of the scanner driver. If you get the same error after reinstalling driver then try to scan a document and print from scanner without PC access. If you can't do this then follow the roller of the scanner. If the light or the roller not moving properly then contact nearest service center. You may need to replace the roller.

I scan a document and then I click on

I suppose you should have some software running on your system to accept the file.

Check the user guide.

Scan an image
You can start a scan from your computer or from the HP All-in-One. This section
explains how to scan from the control panel of the HP All-in-One only.
To use the scan features, the HP All-in-One and computer must be connected and
turned on. The HP Photosmart Software (Windows) or HP Photosmart Mac Software
(Mac) must also be installed and running on your computer prior to scanning.
● On a Windows computer, look for the HP Digital Imaging Monitor icon in the
Windows system tray (at the lower right side of the screen, near the time) to verify
the software is running.
HP All-in-One overview
Note
Closing the HP Digital Imaging Monitor icon in the Windows
system tray can cause the HP All-in-One to lose some of its scan
functionality. If this happens, you can restore full functionality by restarting
your computer or by starting the HP Photosmart Software.
● On a Mac, the software is always running.
Tip You can use the HP Photosmart Software (Windows) or HP Photosmart
Mac Software (Mac) to scan images, including panorama images. Using this
software, you can also edit, print, and even share your scanned images. For
more information, see the onscreen Help that came with the HP All-in-One.
To scan to a computer
1. Place your original print side down on the left front corner of the glass.
2. Press Start Scan/Reprints.
A preview image of the scan appears on your computer, where you can edit it.
3. Make any edits to the preview image, and then click Accept when you are
finished.
