I understand that the issue has not resolved after following the steps mentioned in the previous interaction.

 

This could be a hardware issue with the scanner component.

 

Hence, you may contact HP Technical Phone Support from this link: http://hp.care/2r9wSvP

Select the country where you are located and type the product# or the serial number of the unit and then choose the 'Contact Support' tab at the top and scroll down to the bottom of the 'HP Support- Contact' page to fill out the form provided with your contact information.

Hi @Martra,

Welcome to HP Forums, this is a great place to get support, find answers and tips.


Thank you for posting your query. I'll be more than glad to help you.

I understand that you are facing issues with your HP Officejet 4500 Desktop All-in-One Printer wherein it does not scan.

 

In order to isolate the issue, I suggest that you make a copy from the control panel of the unit and check.

 

If the copy is fine, then I suggest that you follow the steps in the link: How to Scan (Mac)

 

Let me know if this works.
 

You have a good day ahead.
