Common problems HP Solution Center not working : Adobe Flash Player Error and Unable to scan
We would like to share some of the most frequently asked questions about HP Solution Center not working : Adobe Flash Player Error and Unable to Scan.
HP Recommended

We bought a new MacBook Pro. Because of the scanning always output a blank page, so we install the HP software again. 

The scan output is normal after install the latest software, but the "Scan to computer" button on the printer dose not work anymore. 

The PC name is shown on the printer screen, but nothing happen after I click on the printer. We found that the "Scan to computer" function cannot be enable, but we can scan by operating on the computer screen. 

How can we enable the "Scan to computer" button again? Please help.

Follow these steps to enable Scan to computer on your Mac

  • Choose Apple menu > System Settings, then click Printers & Scanners in the sidebar. (You may have to scroll down.) Click the printer or scanner in the Printers list on the right, then click Open Scanner.

Keep me posted.

Cheers.

Hi Sandy,

 

I am able to scan documents from the printer following the instructions. However, this does not resolve my inability to scan using the printer’s control panel.

 

Regards,

Jacky
