Computer says printer is ready, printer says to check connections trying to scan to mac

mail or call to the technicale support team of hp for that problem and get the folloups from them every day, i cant say much more becouse its realated to mac and for mac there is too less data available on hp sites.

The printer says that it is connected correctly to the router because the router is aware of it and has assigned to it an IP address on the network.
The computer on the other hand does not know that there is a printer. Not finding one (or not knowing where to look for it) the computer reports that the printer is offline.
You must install the printer drivers on the computer.

mac or pc

try connecting hardwire to router to see if it sees the ip address or you might need to update drivers

Hi. To make sure that the product hardware is functioning correctly, use the product to make a photocopy. If you cannot make a copy, this solution will not help resolve the issue.

2. Press the Power button to turn off the product.
3. Wait 10 seconds.
4. Restart the computer.
5. Press the Power button to turn the product back on.
6. Try the scan again

Solution 2

1. Replace the USB cable.
2 .Try the scan again.

Solution 3

Workaround:

Try installing the printer to Windows XP environment just to prove functionality and test incompatibility issues. Might be your printer is icompatible with MAC OS. This will also prove if printer is working or not.

You need to use the grey cd to install the software onto your Mac if you have not already done so. If you don't have the Mac CD you can download the installation software and all drivers from HP here (select your operating system first).

If you have installed it aready, try uninstalling and then reinstalling using the HP website to obtain the updated drivers etc. rather than your CD.

Once you have uninstalled the software, disconnect your printer and then restart your computer. Do not re-connect your printer until you have reinstalled the software.

To verify that the software has installed properly, look for the HP Solution Centre on your desktop, double click on the icon and check that both "scan picture" and |"scan document" are showing.

Hope that helps!

Well I haven't necessarily scanned often, but i do know if you open up a program such as word, Excel, PowerPoint, Photoshop, Corel, etc... You are given an option to scan. That way you can scan information, images and such to that program in which you use. C2424 wont give you any support because its a primary printer but the drivers should include drivers for the scanner and the computer to interconnect. If you have any photo like software on your mac. Try looking at the options at your top menu for an option or "import"
Many times it will give you the option to scan from a device.

To scan to computer its software based. Also on the Panel on the printer you should be given an option to scan. If printer is connected by USB it will be easier to detect scans from panel, but if your printer is connected via Ethernet it will be different.

I hope this helps. Try using a program that you can use to edit pictures or display. You should be given an option.

I hope this helps. Let me know what you do? and possibly i can mirror what you do on my own mac

Hi,

I understand that you are receiving the error to install the All-i n-one software while scanning from the printer front panel.

You have not informed whether the unit is connected in network or with USB cable.

However, follow the below given instructions to resolve the issue.

Verify that the communication between the computer and the printer is fine and the full version All-in-one software is installed in the computer.
Solution one: Verify that the Digital Imaging Monitor is ready The Digital Imaging Monitor must be running for the scan to feature to function. The Digital Imaging Monitor normally displays in the system tray in the bottom-right corner of the computer screen, which is next to the time. The Digital Imaging Monitor is ready when a check mark displays on the icon. This can take some time after startup to complete the initialization and for the check mark to display on the icon. If the Digital Imaging Monitor displays in the system tray, proceed to Solution two - Populate the destination list . Search for the file " hpqtra08 " in your computer and run the file. Solution two: Populate the destination list Here are the steps to set the scan options: 1. Open the HP Solution Center. 2. Click Settings. 3. Click Scan Settings and Preferences. 4. Click Scan to… Setup. 5. Click the Destination List tab. 6. If the Front Panel Destination List is empty, this is the reason the All-in-One is generating the error message, and you should continue with this procedure. 7. Click each program that you want to display in the scan to list. 8. Click the Add arrow. 9. Click OK. This should resolve the issue that you are experiencing with. Regards, Lawrence

If you;ve installed the MP Navigator software from the CD, then you should be able to press the scan button on the printer with your Mac connected and the MP navigator will open automatically on your Mac ready to scan. You can also try going into Preview (the Mac app) and from the file menu select Import... and it should open a scan window.  Hope this helps!
