HOW TO SCAN FROM SCAN TO BUTTON IN THE NETWORK FROM HP 2727MFP

Have you installed the HP scanning software? (Found on the HP website).

Have you considered installing the scan tools on the other computers? Print sharing is a function of windows; assuming that the printer is not a true network printer. Windows does not have the ability to share scanners. But this is where the software can scan the network and find a HP scanner. Also some scanners can perform a "scan-to" function; but I believe the software need to be installed on the destination computers for this to work as well.

My HP LaserJet M1120 MFP will not print if the network cable is plugged in

Hello you have to open the HP LaserJet Scan.
In the HP program group, select Scan to start HP LaserJet Scan
Select a scanning destination
Click Scan.

Here is a user manual in more details:

Good luck

I have just come up against this issue my self, 4 x CM2320's installed on 150 PC's. After a lot of head scratching I dug out wire shark and did some network analysing as I thought it was a network issue. Turns out it sort of was, the HP software installs a custom network print port, this print port scans the network to see if the printer has changed its IP address BEFORE it tries to spool...!! The solution is to create a new network port and put the printer on that. Originally it took well over 90 seconds to print a test page, once the port was changed it dropped to 2...!!!! All PC's at this client were win XP so here's how to do it on an XP machine... Please note the printer should be on a static IP address!!!:

Start > Printers And Faxes > Right Click on the CM2320 PCL 6 printer > Properties > Ports >

If you scroll down to find the printer in the ports list you should find it has installed on a port called 'HP Colour LaserJet' or something similar.

Add Port > Select 'HP Standard TCP/IP Port' > New Port > Next > Type in the printers IP address ie 192.168.0.202 (Don't tick always print to this device) > Next > Standard - Dropdown - Hewlett Packard Jetdirect > Next > Finish.

The new port will now be in the ports list, click the tick box next to it > Apply > OK. Now try and print a test page, it should only take a second or two...!!!

Thumbs and testimonial are welcome!

Why would you offer a smart *** comment to a potentially legitimate question? I have the same issue after replaceing the formatter board, the printer is reporting SN12345678 as the serial number.

the Error is "the software had trouble scanning or was cancelled" in HP printer 2727 MFP please advice

Please try installing software components for your MFP device.

Hi,
If your printer is connected in the Network and you are able to print fine than there is no communication Error.
In htan case if you are not able to scan then you need to upgrade the firmware of the printer and install it and i m sure your printer wiill scan scanning on the Network.
Mentioned below is the link to download the latest firmware of the printer.

However before you start sending firmware to the printer you need to make sure that printer driver is installed on the PC.
