Re: Hp Envy 4500 E-all-in-one Printer Series Drivers

Firstly, you'll need to have the full feature software for your printer installed on your Windows 8 computer. You can download and install the HP Software here - HP ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers
Once the software is installed on the Windows 8 computer. You should have an icon on your Desktop for the HP ENVY 4500 Series. (If you don't have the icon on your Desktop, just go to your start screen and start typing "HP Envy" and it should come up)
If the scan to computer will not enable, or if it still doesn't work after being enabled, try doing a network power reset. Let's leave the router on and unplug the power cable (NOTE: Do not reset the router.), then do the same with the printer, and shut down the computer. After a full minute, plug the router back in, wait for it to fully power up, then plug the printer back in and wait for the wireless light to become solid. Once both the router and printer are on, go ahead and turn the computer back on. Doing this will refresh the network connection.
My printer prints and copies. When I open the printer assistant and go to "scan a document or photo" to open the scan dialogue, the link, the link hightlights, but nothing happens. I have unplugged and replugged everything, and used the "scan doctor" Any further suggestions?
I fixed it myself. After looking more on the internet, ran across a suggestion to run "services.msc" and stop and restart "windows image acquisition (wia)" and be sure it was set to "automatic" Note that this is where the scanner doctor had stopped.
My daughter bought me an HP Envy 4520 AllInOne printer. I am trying to install drivers for that printer on Ubuntu and when I go to the HP Linux site, I see lots of printers but not that one. Has anyone managed to install drivers that will work for that printer on Ubuntu 14.04?
I just had to configure Ubuntu 19.10 with HP envy 4520. I had no issues with 18.04, 18.10, and 19.04, as it used to auto-discover both the printer and the scanner over Wi-Fi with no human intervention. However, in 19.10 I had to do it manually.
To add the printer, in Applications, go to Printers and click Add. This should automatically find the printer and add it to the list. You can double check by printing a document. Adding a scanner is a little trickier.
To add the scanner, based on HpAllInOne, I had to run sudo hp-setup. If you get error: hp-setup requires GUI support, you need to run sudo apt-get install python3-pyqt5. Retry sudo hp-setup, and it should open a GUI window1. From there, it wouldn't auto-detect the scanner over Wi-Fi, as it couldn't find any scanners. So, click Back and on the start page, click Advanced. Enter your printer's IP2 and confirm. Now if you go back to Printers utility, you should see your scanner there.
2You can find the IP in at least two ways: (1) if your printer is already detected, go to Printers, click the gear icon, then Printer Details, and you'll see the Address there; (2) in your printer's interface, go to network settings and look for the IP address. It goes without saying, but you should be connected to the same Wi-Fi network!
