Hello Tegus

 

The only thing you can do with Mountain Lion on the Officejet 5510 is to make sure that you have run the Apple Software Updates with your printer plugged in with the USB cord. This will get you the latest HP Software that you can run on Mountain Lion.

 

To do the Apple Update correctly follow the steps below:

 

Step 1. Plug in the printer USB cord to both the computer and the printer

Step 2. Click on the "Apple" in the upper left hand corner

Step 3. Click on "Software Updates"

 

Once it is completed you can refer to the HP Support document How to Scan: OS X v10.8. This document will provide you with instructions on how you can scan using Apple Preview, Apple Image Capture and from Print & Scan. If it at all possible for you to scan this is how you will be able to do it.

 

I hope this answers your question about scanning. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

I tried to install the drivers for Windows 7 and it didn't work. It says the drivers should install automatically, but they don't. How do you get this to work manually?

Print speed extremely slow. Is this due to ink cartidge level.

I have the 5510 and had it installed and fully functional on my desktop PC. That PC is not working now . I wam currently working off my netbook and I downloaded the full feature software package from the site and I cannot scan. It does not have all the software downloaded.  How can I c=get the entire software package again? The netbook does not have a CD drive.

I cannot get the scan and fax features to work on a new computer, even though it runs XP. Where can I find the correct drivers?

HP Recommended

This get's you to a screen that asks you for your operating system. Then asked you to pick out the version. BUT, it only gives you "INFO" on what to do once it's downloaded. NEVER give you an option to actually download. 

 

Question remains, you can't scan with this unit as bought. 

No way to download anything from the HP website.
