HP Phtotosmart 3310 Scanner Problem

I have an HP Photosmart 3310 All-In-One Fax/Scanner/Printer. I am connected to it through a wireless network. The printer works just fine. It has a built in web site, which I can get to through the IP address, and I can use the scanner application to scan, but I can't get the output from it to my computer. However, it does show that the scanner is working.

The Windows FAX/Scanner applications does not see it, and the HP Scanner application can not find it. I have tried turning off my firewall and antivirus, and that did not solve the problem. I'm not sure what troubleshooting procedure to use at this point. Any pointers, or solutions?

I couldn't connect with my printer/scanner after installing Win 7 either. I emailed HP directly and explained the situation... they emailed me a workaround within an hour.

HP has great customer service. they always reply quickly to my problems, and their fixes work great. Give them a try... they'll have a fix for you.

Thanks! I'll, do that.

HP tech support said they don't support Windows 7 yet. Call back in October when they release drivers for my printer for Windows 7, which is exactly the response I would have expected.

So, anyone have any ideas to get me up and running before October. If not, it's going to be a long summer.

That's odd. When I emailed them back in early May, they sent me a workaround right away. Maybe they got too many Win 7 help requests and decided to stop helping until the official release. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Here is the email they sent me two months ago. Maybe there is something in it that can point you toward a fix.

Thank you for contacting HP Total Care.

Sorry we do not have any update for the Win 7 (64 bit) OS. But we have some work around for the same.

Workaround

6. Click Use the driver that is currently installed, and then click Next.
7. Use the default printer name, click to remove the checkmark next to Set as the default printer, and then click Next.
8. Click Do not share this printer, and then click Next.
9. Click Finish to complete the setup.

This should resolve the issue. If you need further assistance, please reply to this message and we will be happy to assist you further.

Actually, mine is connected through a wireless network, which is probably why I'm having problems.

Thanks! I tried them, but no joy. I had downloaded the latest software from HP, but tried the ones you posted, just in case they were newer than the one at the HP site, but no luck. Printer still works, scanner still doesn't. Neither the HP scanning software, nor Windows FAX and Scan can see it.
