Photosmart 7520
Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan

My photosmart 7520 will not scan but will print wirelessly.  The screen on the printer says it is connected to the macbook but when I click scan to mac and then tells me it is not connected to any computer.

Thank you for joining HP Forums. 

I'll be glad to help you 🙂 

 

As I understand the HP Photosmart 7520 prints but does not scan,

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details: 

did you check if the scanner glass is clean?

Have you been able to use the copier lately, does that work as a stand alone printer?

Did you check for any other HP Forum posts to help resolve your concern?

 

If you haven't, Here's a related HP Forums post that seems to have helped others: Click here for the steps.

 

While you respond to that, here are a few things you can do:

When you try to scan, the computer or the printer is not found. One of the following communication or connection errors displays and the scan fails.

  • An error occurred while communicating with the scanner

  • Computer not found

  • Cannot communicate with scanner

  • No Computer Detected

  • Scanner could not be initialized

  • Scanner not found

  • The HP imaging device was not found
