Thanksbut no. All HP links go to the same web page that has printer drivers for this device, but no "full function" or scanner driver. Long chat with "HP agent" eventually yielded conclusion that there is no Windows 10 driver/software for this AIO device, so this scanner will never work with my new Windows 10 Dell desktop. Very annoying. Everything worked great for years in old Windows 7 desktop. Ah, the price of "progress."
4. I USED to be able to just click Scan and then another dialog would ask me where to save it but neither the Preview nor the Scan button make the scanner scan. Preview gives me the vague "An error occurred...select "preview" again. If I click Scan, it just all disappears.
- Clicking Retry. I take the final option in the list and it gives another green bar and I end up full circle to the first Scan Doctor page with the "HP LaserJet M1522 MFP Series PCL 6" and "HP LI M1522nf Scan". Both still show network connections and "Installed".
I understand there is a windows application to use for scanning but because it also controls the camera to the computer, I wanted to stick with the simple scan I have been using for many years now that just scans from my HP scanner/printer to my HP Computer.
Hi, I've got the exact same problem on two of my machines, an HP and a Samsung, both Win 10 64 bit.
Testing with the Windows app, I get Problem with the preview, the scanner cannot be found...
I took your advice with a bit of a shotrcut. I downloaded M1522series-win7-full-solution-EMEA4-v4.3.exe to install - a windows 7 driver as you suggested. I tried to just run it but it failed so I uninstalled the driver via Programs and features. I got an error but figured I would continue along anyway. I rebooted. I ran the M1522series-win7-full-solution-EMEA4-v4.3.exe and it went as far at 96% done. It sat at 96% for iver an hour. I tried scanning and IT WORKED. I just killed the process for the install. I have what I need to scan now.
Where can I download the full solution software from the HP site? This is the error I receive when I use the basic Windows 10 scanner software. It feeds the paper, but the scan doesn't finish. We don't use Win10 apps at my company so that won't help.
Things I have tried so far: Updating the driver, Running HP Dr. program, windows hardware trouble shoot, restarting the computer, Uninstalling the printer and re-installing the printer, using hp scan, using windows scan.
I recently had an issue where we had a previous generation M476dn that would not scan to computer. When I talked to someone in HP support, they said that while they used to have it, they have since disabled the functionality on the printer and it resulted in an error message similar to what you note on the computer. They said it was on a different platform and they basically have stopped supporting it so they pushed out an update to kill the feature when you go and try to connect with the newer driver software.
To install the HP LaserJet M1522nf Multifunction Printer driver, download the version of the driver that corresponds to your operating systemby clicking on the appropriate link above. A window should then show up asking you where you would like to save the file. Save the driver file somewhereon your computer where you will be easily able to find it, such as your desktop. Then follow the instructions below corresponding to the file type that youdownloaded
I used it for my Canon, and it worked like a champ. You can use the free version as a test program to make sure your scanner will work with Linux; the free version puts a watermark on all scanned images. Or you can pay for the software to eliminate the watermark.
The first line installs Apparmor Utilities from the Ubuntu repo, which lets you have some control over the Apparmor feature that is part of Ubuntu and its descendants (like Mint). Apparmor is a security feature, but when it gets in the way, it has to be turned off.
Thanks for your post. After my re-installation, the system ignored my command to install the downloaded latest version, but re-installed the version that came with the distro, even though I had removed that one.
Is there a way to force the system to install the current drivers? What happened today was 1. uninstalled original drivers, 2. downloaded/installed newest version, 3. system re-installed older drivers from repository.
One of the posters in the thread I saw about this issue said that he got it to work by installing the 3.17.10 version from the Ubuntu repo, which Mint also uses, and the 3.17.11 plugin from HP, but he had to rename the plugin to 3.17.10 (whatever format the filename had, he changed that 1 to a 0), and it worked.
I would love to get this fixed. Just about to go through the whole Mint install project with the other computer, hoping it will be a little smoother, but I wound up at multiple dead ends with this one. If I get stuck, I will review these threads as well as my pile of scratch notes. I can see through these teething difficulties that Mint, once cleaned up, is a better system than Win7.
The way I understand it, the system repository includes (generic) drivers for HP printers, but the scan function requires an additional plugin to be functional. This is above and beyond the related problem re installing the current driver version in place of the old one in the repository, gory details in previous posts in this thread.
Yes, there is. I will try as much as I can to not make this confusing. If you understand how to navigate to different levels of folders, this is the same thing, just in typed form instead of with clicking.
You can specify the whole path at once too. /home/steve/Downloads is a path, because it is kind of like written directions to get to a file if you were talking about roads instead of directories.
2. A shared drive, or at least a shared data folder. In this way, you can work on the same stuff in Windows that you are working on in Linux. I have two shared folders on my Linux Mint machine: one for documents, and one for videos and pics. I made these two folders (and all subfolders) accessible in my Windows 8.1 VM; in this way, I can easily work in the VM, because everything I work on (or download) is always available in Linux and in Windows. Without that, it would be a major hassle to have to copy files to a flash drive or move them from one side to the other in some other way.
Just had an idea. The version in the 18.04 LTS Ubuntu repo is one version too old to work for your application, so anything newer should work. What if we downloaded the file from the Ubuntu repo for 18.10 instead?
Any of the mirrors should work. I used the first one listed,
mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu. Whichever one you use, these links will take you to the actual Ubuntu files, ready to install with a double click from the package manager.
Those links both have the same title:
Download Page for hplip-data_3.18.7+dfsg1-2ubuntu2_all.deb
If the 3.18.7 designation refers to a version of the hplip driver file, does the rest of this line lead you to believe that my system will accept the command to remove (or, not re-install) the old version and replace with this one? This seems to be the sticking point, as my system re-installs the old version instead of a newer one, various strategies tried.
I think the two events may not be related. When the repo version of the driver is uninstalled and the printer then turned on, the system automatically re-installs it. But my attempts to install the new version have never completed, so it is MIA in Pkg Mgr.
Also tried custom 3.19.11 install instead of automatic, with option to choose installed elements- specifically did not select enabling scan function- system still called for the same dependency as before.
Followup- currently, repo drivers re-installed. Error message in terminal names PyQt5 as the missing dependency. Online search found PyQt5_gpl-5.6.tar.gz which I downloaded and tried to install. Attempt failed, but perhaps there is a clue here.
UPDATE: Recovered from that blunder to find that the libsane package is also already installed. So- current status is, two files in this post already installed, no hplip drivers installed. Pondering next move.
Next message, already installed- remove? Typed y for yes- installation continued to message, Build Complete. From there, configure printer? yes. Printer now on. All good until the fateful message re unable to download plugin. I then specified a path to my download, no joy there, but the issue seems to be that, on the plugin download site, each plugin version has two entries, one with .run (the one I downloaded), and the one the Terminal wants, .run.asc. I tried to download that one, the only response I could get, whether single- double- or right-click, was this text:
Have you created Rescue Media for the Veeam imaging program? (Any backup image files created with Veeam are of no use if you do not have the Veeam Rescue Media available to restore the backup image files.)
NightOwl- I do try not to make the same mistake twice- more often, I find new mistakes to make. Not sure how familiar you are with Mint, but I did (on my own) recover from an erroneous command line entry, alluded to above, a couple of days ago.
With considerable help from Ascaris, I am using Veeam for Mint backups. Currently still using Macrium for Win7 backups, although those will become superfluous soon, as the Veeam full backups are the bare-metal variety, and since Mint mounts the Win7 HDD (as I learned the hard way), the Veeam backups cover that OS as well.
If he uses the option in Veeam to back up the entire machine, it should back up the entire machine. I did a test run backing up my Acer Swift to verify this. It has one drive with Windows 10 on it (the built-in eMMC drive) and one with Linux (the M.2 SSD), and when I selected to back up the entire machine, it did indeed image the eMMC drive with Windows 10 along with the Linux SSD.
