macOS 10.12 Sierra and HP M1536dnf : scanning not working

[Bebermu]

I cannot use HP M1536dnf as a scanner since I upgraded to macOS 10.12 Sierra.

The scanning option has desappeared from the print driver. Image capture and HP easy scan do not work either.

Hello @Bebermu, Greetings!

Thank you for becoming an HP Forum member. It is a dynamite location to get help from the community, get suggestions and find what has worked for others.

I understand you are facing issues while scanning with MAC Sierra. I will do my best to assist you with this issue.

I would suggest you uninstall and reinstall the drivers first. Then install the HP easy scan and check:

• Click the Apple menu icon, and then click “System Preferences”.
• Click “Printers and Scanner” / “Print and Scan” or “Print and Fax”.
• Right-click the blank space in the Printers list, and then click “Reset printing system”.
• Click “Reset” in the confirmation window.
• Enter an administrator username and password, and then click “OK”.
• Wait until the printing system is reset and no devices show in the Printers list

No follow the instructions mentioned here to completely uninstall the drivers: http://hp.care/2cKwLyC

• Restart your computer and then go back to System preferences – Printers and scanners.
• Click the “Add button” (+).
• Find, and then select the name of your printer from the printer list, and then click “Add” to add your printer.
• Click “Print Using...”, and then select the name of your printer (By default “Airprint” would be selected)
• Now try installing the HP easy scan and try scanning. You can check the instructions here: http://hp.care/2c8ckuS

Please let me know whether that works for you. Good luck!

Cheers 🙂
