Scan to Computer 8610

[UncleMalky]

Like many folks I've read about, I am having trouble getting "Scan to Computer" working with the 8610. I can print ok. I can ping the device, but I cannot get scan to work. If I select HP scan it doesn't give me the option to choose the correct printer. I hev reinstalled the software. I have used scan doctor. I have already spent over 5 hours on this to no avail!

The HP message boards that I've read do not address this specific issue. HP are no help. I'd ask directly, but this is a waste of time. can anyone enlighten me so I can get this figured out. It is so disheartening.

Hi,

Thanks for using the HP Forums.

Can you download and install the FULL feature printer software from HP for your operating system:

The following resource will help you :

Key in your printer model, Operating System and download & install the FULL feature software.

How to Scan to Computer

Once you have installed the software:

1. Click on the printer Icon (on your desktop) and it will bring up the HP Printer Assistant.
2. Under the Scan menu, there is a “Manage Scan to Computer”, click on that.
3. Make sure that you “Enable” Scan to Computer. Also make sure the tab “Automatically start Scan to Computer when I log on to Windows” is checked if you want to make this feature permanent. (the following video will show you how)

We can now scan to the computer, however am error msg comes up on the Printer. 8610. that's a minor issue. Don't have the error code, but at least the admin staff can now scan. Thanks
