I bought a HP Photosmart C4480 all in one scanner/printer a few days ago. On the day it was bought, during set up, i was able to scan. Now when i try to scan it says 'scanner not initialised (scanner not found). I'm able to print and copy and have spoken to HP support who said that the hardware is fine, and recommended that i try mac support as it could be an issue with communication or software.
View 5 Repliesmy neighbor is a Windows PC user and showed me the neatest hardware. It's called an Intel Scanner. He's able to scan barcodes of all his CD's and save it on his computer together with all the information. That is the songs, album artwork, etc. Does anyone know if there is such a scanner for the Mac?

Anyway, i want to do a scan for viruses and spyware. Anyone know a good option for this? Doesn't have to be free although that would be nice.
I'm looking to buy a scanner to scan old documents and photos. I also have lots of negatives of different sizes (both black-and-white and color). Most scanner companies don't put an emphasis on making good Mac drivers, and I know a lot of printers and scanners are not compatible with Macs running Snow Leopard. Can anyone recommend a good scanner that has a solid, updated driver and great support for scanning film negatives?

Can someone advise me on what is best for use with the Mac? Nicer if there were OCR capabilities, too.
What about software to collate and manage all these resulting files?
I just joined mac rumors because I'm tired of windows and I'm thinking of buying a mac. My first question is any idea why apple doesn't offer a biometric scanner?
Second question. Has apple ever offered financing for their products, and I don't mean That lousy Juniper card. I was thinking of getting a MBP,MAC and an I MAC and that is a lot of money , just wish Apple had financing like Dell or the other computer companies.
Planning to digitize old family photos for the family and need a good/reliable scanner that. Any recommendations? Software included worth while or are there better packages? Currently have Adobe Photoshop Elements.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a Canoscan 4400F which is not recognised by my MBP (early 2008) or my iMac (early 2007). (Error message is 'Unable to find driver'.) Despite installing various drivers which are supposed to be Leopard compatible, no luck so far.
Does anyone know of a driver which will work, or alternatively if I have to replace, a recommend a reasonably priced scanner which is Leopard compatible. Scanner will primarily be used for scanning documents for archiving and old photo prints for adding to iPhoto.
I found an old scanner in my house and I wanted to connect it to my sisters Macbook. I've connected the power cord to the mains and the USB cable into the Macbook, the light is on on the scanner but I don't know what to do next. The scanner is a few years old so I don't know if it needs an install CD.

Can someone recommend me a decent negative scanner? I want to digitise all my old photo negatives in a format good enough to keep in iPhoto and upload to Flickr. I'm not interested in ultra professional resolution, but something in the region of 5MP would be good enough.
I've read that Veho are going to be updating their scanner hardware to work with the Mac, but I've heard some stories about the quality being awful. I wish someone would actually upload some of the results so we could decide for ourselves, but it has put me off.
I don't want to spend a fortune, but I am willing to spend a decent amount of money (low hundreds of ���, NOT thousands!!) to get what I want.
This scanner was able to scan 3D objects as if they were photographed professionally, if you put a colored cloth behind the object. Great depth of field. Used to have one, I just bought several of them, I have a beige G3, but I have no software/driver. Where to go?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just bought me a brand new Canon DR-2020U, but to my dismay, I noticed that it doesn't have OS X drivers, and OS X doesn't even flinch when I connect the scanner to it.
I googled for drivers, but the official site does not say anything about those drivers. I have, of course, the Windows drivers and I can operate it through Parallels, but I feel a little stupid for paying $700 for a scanner which does not have necessary drivers to operato on my OS X.

I have a HP Photosmart B110 printer/scanner and I'm running OSX 10.7 Lion, I have no dramas printing but the scanner is not recognised.If I go to System preferences> Print & Scan, it shows the printer but won't show the scanner!! I obviously want and need to use the scanner but am unable!

Why is OS X's scanner support so terrible?
I borrowed an HP PSC 1410v all-in-one unit to scan a bunch of photos for a project, but I can't get it to scan! I downloaded all the HP drivers and utilities and rebooted, and it says it can't find the scanner.
I also tried the VueScan demo and couldn't get it to work there either.
The scanner works fine when connected to my friends PC... why won't OS X connect to it? Anyone else have better luck with the HP scanners?
she had this scanner that she didn't want anymore. It is a HP ScanJet 4300c. All I have for it is the power and USB cable. What do I have to do on my mac to be able to use it?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been asked by a friend to suggest a slide scanner that they can use with their Mac. They have over 500 slides that they want to digitise, so they would like something that is easy to use and can approximate the quality of 12MP camera. They have considered going to a photo store to do this, but they feel that given they have time it would be just as well to do it themselves, and possibly cheaper.

I have a very reliable Agfa scanner(Snapscan 310) which is over 10 years old but has always given me excellent quality and I'm reluctant to replace it. Even though I've re-installed the software from the original Agfa installation disk, every time I try to use the scanner through Adobe Photoshop in Classic mode, a message pops up asking me to turn on the scanner which of course it already is!!
Before my HP Photosmart C3100 worked fine with my Imac 27" i was able to print and scan without any issues. But lately after i haven't scanned for a while over the summer i tried scanning again and it always says NO SCANNER selected in the open scanner box from the print & fax panel from the system preferences. It prints fine but whenever i open scanner dialog box it says NO scanner selected? Why is it not recognizing the scanner part of the printer anymore?I tried uninstalling and installing the printer again didn't work

View 15 Replies View RelatedDoes anyone know of a mail scanning app, like MailWasher on Windows? Something to view the contents of your mailbox and remove spams before downloading them into Mail.
Please don't just tell me to use the filtering built into Mail, because it seems to always download the messages before filtering them - so I still have to wait for these supposed "Windows security updates" to come in before I can bounce them.
I've browsed the site for awhile now, but this is the first time I've had to post.
I recently tossed my old printer due to the scanner going bad, and picked up a new one. It's an Epson NX400. I've gone through the install disk, done what needs to be done, but I've got a problem.
Whenever I go to add it in the printer utility window, all I can do is highlight it. To clarify, it's showing up just fine under the 'Printer Name' section, and the 'Name' and 'Location' both fill in with the appropriate information when highlighted, but the 'Add' button doesn't become selectable.
It forces me to look through the 'Print Using' window, where the desired printer is nowhere to be found. This also happened when I tried hooking up an HP printer.
I've been scratching my head going through every support site I could find, but I'm giving up. Anyone familiar with a fix?
I am looking for a slide and negative scanner. All of the ones that I have found in the under $1000 price range say they are compatible with some variety of Windows.
Which is great for them.
But what about Mac? I don't want to spend the money just to find that I can't use the thing.
Any recommendations?

I read here that scan software for the HP OfficeJet 4215 under OS 10.5 was being tested and almost ready for release. That was in October, 2009. I can't find it anywhere. The HP download site says that the scanner function of the 4215 is not supported under 10.5. Does anyone have suggeestions on how I can get the scanner to work? Everything I try says, "No Image Capture Device found."
