Scan to Computer is not one of the listed options. The only choices on the scan menu are Scan & Reprint or Scan to Memory Card. I need to scan and email documents but can't seem to get the ability to scan to computer. I have never been able to solve this since buying the C6280. So the Scan function is totally useless to me. Sure hope someone can help

if it is XP, then click on start , then run , in run type wiaacmgr.exe and hit enter, try to scan.

In vista and windows 7 , replace run with start search box.

Yes ... your all-in-one can print, copy and scan.

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.
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.

this happened to me too. i don't know how to fix it on the printer, but i scanned it through the computer. i went into the hp solution center, went to the scanning section, and told the printer to scan it from the computer. it worked fine. that way you don't have to save it to a memory card or anything. they went to the same folder all my other scans go to.

First make sure that the software is sucessfully installed in you computer and then try the steps metioned bellow.
Go To My computer>C:\Drive\windows>system32
Copy hpzipm12
minimize this window
Right click on Start button on the computer>Explore>Programs>Startup>edit>paste
minimize this window.
Go back to My computer>C:\Drive\windows>system32
Copy hpzinw12
minimize this window

Right click on Start button on the computer>Explore>Programs>Startup>edit>paste
Now you will see two new files in Startup
Now go to My Computer>C:\Drive\Program Files>HP>Digital Imaging>bin>
Copy hpqtra08
close this window
Right click on Start button on the computer>Explore>Programs>Startup>edit>paste
Restart the computer
Open Hp Solution Center> Settings>Scan settings and preferences> Scan to button>

HP Photosmart C6200 Owner Manual Photosmart Express Menu Setup Menu

When you press the Scan button on the HP Photosmart C6200, it seems to require the HP-All-in-One Network.

Page 11 suggests that "The Scan to Computer option only appears if the HP-All-in-One Network is connected."

The Basics guide on Page 8 suggests that the All-in-One software allows the use of a network cable or a USB cable.

I don't have one of these to test. It seems frustrating that the scan button doesn't automatically allow Scan to Computer option without installing HP all-in-one software, but you should be able to experiment, installing it, and if it works, you can see what works or not.

i would like to know if you did completely install the printer software of this printer.if you did kindly locate the icon HP SOLUTION center,go to settings>>scan setting>>san to set-up>>restore to defaults.kindly check now if the front panel destination list has generated the options then click apply and OKAY.try to press now the scan button of the printer is the scan options are generated...

send feedback for further troubleshooting solution..

Try ths:
This happens mainly when you try to scan from the printer ;
Always try to scan from HP solution center but still here is the resolution:
Open Hp Solution center
Click on Settings
Click on scn settings
click on Scan to Setup
Select all the option available to updrade the Front panel menu list and click on ADD
Click on Update;
Restart the computer and the printer and try to scan.
It should resolve the issue.

I reinstalled the program and will control the printer from my computer. The scan menu still does not say, 'scan to computer', as the basic guide book says that it should.

me too. What I just did, was open up word and then pressed scan. That worked, so maybe open the place you want the scanned item to go to and it will go there. You can tell I'm not a techie.
