Hi, lately when i try to scan a document from the HP Sultion Center, this message appear:

The error, in italian, is: "Periferica di imaging HP non rilevata." (i.e. "peripheral of imaging HP not detected").

 

I try to make anything possibile as unistall and reinstall printer driver, Hp Doctor, and many more but the result is always the same: when the driver finish to install, the message suddenly appear and i can't scan even with Windows scan.
I have another PC which have no trouble.

Welcome to the HP Forums. I would be happy to help you with your HP Officejet 4500 printer. I understand that you are getting issues while scanning and you have already done some preliminary troubleshooting. 

 

Don't worry though as I have a few steps to determine the issue and find a solution as well,

 

Restart devices and check driver scan settings.

  1. Turn off the printer.

  2. Make sure the printer power cord connects directly to an electrical outlet and not through a surge protector or power strip.

  3. Close all running programs on your computer, and then shut down the computer.

  4. Turn on the printer.

  5. Turn on the computer.

  6. Search Windows for your printer model name, and then click the printer name in the list of results.

  7. If HP Printer Assistant opens, click Scan a Document or Photo or Manage Scan to Computer, and then make sure the checkbox is selected next to Automatically start Scan to Computer when I log onto Windows.

  8. If HP Solution Center opens, click Scan Settings to view scan connection status, settings, and preferences.

  9. Try to scan.

Uninstall and reinstall the printer software.

Check Windows Image Acquisition settings.

  1. Search Windows for view local services, and then click the View local services Control panel setting in the list of results.

    The Services window opens.

  2. Find Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) in the Name column and look at the Status and Startup type values.

    • If the status is 'Started' and the Startup type is 'Automatic', WIA is running correctly. Skip to the next step.

    • If the status is 'Disabled', right-click Windows Image Acquisition (WIA), click Properties, click the General tab, click Start under the Service Status, and then select Automatic from the Startup type drop-down menu.

  3. Try to scan.

Temporarily disable firewall software on the computer.

Hi sandytchy20,

 

thank you for your support. Unfortunately i've tried everything you wrote me but the problem always persist.
When i re-install the printer's driver, in the end of the process a notice appears and it says the The Bing Bar cannot be installed 'cause it's not supported by my Windows 10 version.
Maybe the scan's problem is also related to my Windows 10 version? I have Windows 10, version 1703..maybe it's a problem of compatibiliy? 
Thanks!

Hi,

 

thank you for the answer.

I installed the printer by the Windows Panel, and it has been corectly installed. But the scan problem hasn't be resolved..when i try to scan using the windows scan, a message appears which tells that the scanner can't be found.
I really think it's a problem related to an incompatibility of the printer with my Windows' version...isn't it?
