How to activate the scan to computer on HP photosmart 7515

[Camz]

I keep getting a message saying the scan to computer is not activated.

I had some problems with the install of my printer and really don't want to

uninstall and reinstall again. Any suggestions?

Hello Camz

If it comes down to it I would be more than happy to help assist you in a re-installation, but I enabling Scan to Computer should be a pretty easy step. Click the desktop icon for your printer. Under Scanner Actions you should see another option "Manage Scan to Computer". There you should be able to enable or disable Scan to Computer as well as make it startup enabled with Windows.

Logical response - however, does not permanently resolve the issue. Error condition continues, intermittently. 

Any other thoughts....?

ALSO, PS7515 goes to sleep, as set, but most times does not wake up or shut down with power button.

Have to remove power cord, re-plug to restart. What's up?

Thank you for your reply. I have enabled the scan to computer a while ago, but the problem still persists. I guess it really isn't a big deal, as I am able to use my scanner...Thanks so much! Camz

The only thing that I found under my control pannel was windows fax and scan and I cannot find the scanner actions. It won't let me scan anything because my printer is saying "enable activate scan to computer function"

In spite of simple directionis, I still cannot make scan work from my HPPhotosmart 7515. Worked for years and has stopped working. Keeps putting me in circle to go to HP Icon and hit activate scanner. I cannot find any buttons / links re: scanner. Hlelpppp. ght

@ghthoms, what happens when you select activate the scanner.
