How do I enable 'Scan to computer' via the printer software in a mac OSX 10.7 environment?

[Onbashi]

I am unable to see my apple mac computer listed on the printer's screen. When I select scan and then computer, it simply informs me to enable scan to computer via the printer software, does anyone know where this setting is?

• OS X 10.7.3 (Lion)
• HP Photosmart 5510
• Connected wirelessly with the latest drivers (as of today)
• HP Utility 5.2.0

Hello,

Thanks for the post.  With Lion (10.7) you do have other options for scanning.  I've included a link below with some steps to do this.  Good Luck!

On the computer desktop screen do you see printer icon which says HP Photosmart 5510? If YES, double click it. Then double click "Scanner Actions" and then you can see the option "Activate Scan to computer".

Note: In order to use scan button on the printer, this feature should always be activated. Once activated, if you restart the printer or computer, this needs to be re-activated again.

Hello, 

Thanks for the post.  With this one, we actually have several options for scanning.  I've included the links below for scanning with both the HP software and for scanning without.  On the computer desktop screen do you see printer icon which says HP AIO 110e? If YES, double click it. Then double click "Scanner Actions" and then you can see the option "Activate Scan to computer".

Note: In order to use scan button on the printer, this feature should always be activated. Once activated, if you restart the printer or computer, this needs to be re-activated again.

Good Luck!

I don't have an icon on my imac. How do I get my hp envy printer to connect and scan to the computer?

Hello Nycmom,

Thanks for the post.  Since we don't have an icon, how did you install the HP printer?  Did you use the disc or ASU to get the driver software?  When you choose file/print, what does your iMAC see as the default/last used printer?  Check the below document for some great tips on ensuring that it is installed and assistance if not.  Good Luck!
