HP Scanning and Leopard A NO GO

Yeah, I got the same problem here as well. Just bought a Mac mini and the printer yesterday and haven't gotten the scanner to work.

I've been searching for free scanner software but no avail. I don't want to have to spend money on something that should already work. I guess we'll just have to wait on HP.

 

Same problem!!!! I got the imac today did the upgrade and plugged in the free Printer/Scanner and BAM .... Nothing ... Guess you pay the price to be on the cutting edge!!!

 

That comes as no surprise to me, the HP drivers are crap. Just open up activity monitor on a machine with an attached HP printer or scanner attached and you'll see a process that starts with the letters hp...... which is running as a root process and taking up an unreasonable amount of cpu %

 

also no go (scan) for hp 2710

anyone got HP photosmart 2710 to scanner in leopard?

 

Canon scanners too

I'm having the same problem with my Canon scanner too

 

I have a C7280?? forget the exact model, but I'm having no issues scanning. I had a little trouble during setup, but once I solved that, its been good to me.

Have you searched on the Apple Support forums?

 

Ya, I'm having the same problem.

 

If you're using the F4180 (that Apple sells on their site) you'll need to download this

It's a huge download, but it did the trick.

Hopefully Apple will update the drivers for scanner - printers in 10.5.2

 

Hp says they are working on an update, which should have already been released lol

 

I've also had this same problem, except I've just changed from Windows to Mac recently. I bought a HP Laserjet M1005 MFP (all in one) and it wouldn't scan. My printer came with a disc for Readiris Pro, that was SUPPOSED to work on Mac, but wouldn't. So I looked it up (on Torrentz.com) and found on for Mac that the comments say works. If you're a anti-piracy person, then please forget this post and please don't report me! It's not so piracy, since I actually have the disc with serial and stuff, except it doesn't work, so I guess it should be okay

I haven't installed it yet, but when I do, I'll be sure to let you know whether it works wonders or not.

I didn't want to create a new thread, so I thought I'd bump this one.

Have those of you with the C4280 noticed any improvements/progress? I'm going to be hooking mine up in a few days and I wasn't sure if the "Leopard headaches" were still around.

Because I have some moderate scanning to do (~50 pages) next week, I was wondering if the scanner issues had been resolved in particular.

Thanks guys.

 

I just was on HP's site. Still no updated driver.
I may have to go buy a new scanner.

 

You might want to consider Vuescan instead of buying a new scanner. The list of supported scanners is on this page. I'm using it with my Canon LiDE35 on 10.5.1 with no issues.

 

I've been scanning through my HP c3150 on leopard just fine using this software driver:

HP Scanjet 8250 problem

Well, I thought it was just me. My document feeder HP ScanJet 8250 doesn't work with my Leopard upgrade at work. And scanning to Adobe PDF doesn't work either since I understand Acrobat 8.0 has not been upgraded to work with Leopard.

Any suggestions?

What a pain! I should have held off for a little while longer on upgrading to Leopard given this (although I do find the interface a little better, and quickview is useful).

 

hp Scanning

if you look on Apple's website, they have posted a link for leopard's driver. I am downloading it now and if I remember I will try to report back on how I get on. I still think hp though are unorganised for not sorting this out sooner...

 

Success

Just to confirm the link Apples provided does install a compatible piece of software to scan using the C4280. The link is as follows:

vuescan

hi, i tried vuescan and it worked fine with my HP PSC 1315 fine..i had it before and it didn't work but today it is!! was just in the middle of downloading the drivers from the HP website but i don't think i need them now! thanks blodwyn

 

Have you all tried using the Image Capture app that is already installed in your apps folder? It can acquire from Twain sources. I'm not sure if a scanner-specific driver is required or not. I have used this with a Canoscan LIDE scanner.

 

i can't scan withmy all in one 6500 wireless HP...any solutions?

 

Not without information, we don't. All you said is that you have a 6500 wireless HP. You don't even say that you have a computer or which kind.

 

this is a Mac forum what the hell do you think i have biatch?! i have iMac 21.5'' the new one..

 

we do not have crystal balls
