Product: OfficeJet Pro 7740

I have a customer with a Officejet Pro 7740 and the scan to computer does not work. The complete software driver set is installed but the scan to computer is not listed. I need to find out why we can't add the scan to computer in the software."

Hi,

is the printer connected via USB or through the network?

 

From Windows Explorer, right-click 'This PC' and select Properties - what is the listed computer name?

When you click Scan > Computer from the printer front panel, can you see a DIGNATOVICH (USB) option?

 

Select that option and then press Start Scan to scan from your computer.

 

If that fails, what exact error or behavior is shown?

When the customers tries that option, the printer is telling her that it cannot find a computer to scan to.

Thanks for clarifying.

 

I suggest following the HP Print and Scan Doctor Utility by selecting Fix Scanning, be sure to follow any shown prompt and then check for any difference:

If the utility cannot resolve the problem and return with an error, please clarify what exact error or behavior is shown.

There's only one problem, I've tried that and the utility gets blocked by our firewall. So the software will not download.

So uninstall the HP Officejet Pro 7740 Basic Device Software from the Control Panel, then download and reinstall the latest software below:

http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software13/printers/OJ7740/OJ7740_Full_WebPack_40.12.1161.exe

 

If it is blocked, download it from a different connection and move the installation with a USB stick.
