I have my USB cable hooked up to my MacBook Pro. My HP C5580 printer/scanner has been printing fine this way since I have had the printer. I want to start scanning some documents, but it keeps giving me an error. "Sorry. Scanner can not be initialized. Scanner not found."
I went to HP's website and really could not find anything to help solve this. It appears others were having similar problems.
Please help if anyone can.
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
No help here but same problem with my Mini2010 and C5180 All-in-One.
Will try and reinstall 10.75, the current OS and see if that helps...
I also have the same problem with10.9 on another external HD
so expect it's more ....?!
My solution for MY problem;
My printer is connected through a powered USB hub which is connected to my mini.
When I tried connecting a spare USB keyboard through the same hub, it also didn't work so I
powered the computer down, removed power from the hub, disconnected it from the computer, then
reversed the steps(connected the hub to computer and powered it on).
When I restarted my Mini I found the keyboard now worked - then checked the printer which also now
works again.
This solution will likely only apply if you are using an external hub ;-)
It solved my problem.
Good luck.
