I received the following tip from HP about using the Network settings and the ethernet ports on both devices to get the scanner to work. I tried it and it did work after running the HP set up assistant, and then I went out and bought a ethernet port splitter and extra cable.

When I came back, the HP scanner was no longer recognized by the computer. I re-set up the device and got it to work. I scanned and after closing the scan program, the computer said that there was an error and would send a report to Apple. It seems that this might work from time to time, if you don't mind re-setting up your computer with HP Set Up Assistant each time. Maybe someone else can try and find a better solution. By the way, I returned the ethernet splitter and cable that I bought because this did not seem to be a complete fix to the problem. It seems that the problem stems around Lion's ability to recognize the scanner on the USB port and possible the ethernet port after several scans.
Here is what HP sent me: At this moment we have been able to make the software to work if you have the printer connected to the network. In the HP Director select remove device, then run the HP Setup Assistance once the printer is connected to the network and you should be able to setup the printer and scan.

Yes, you would use an ethernet cable and the ports for each and disconnect the USB connections when you want it to work. What I am doing is temporarily disconnecting the ethernet cable connect (and going offline) and connecting the ethernet cable to the HP m1522nf and doing some scanning. When I'm done, I disconnect the cable and go back online. It seems to be working and I haven't gotten the error reports after scanning like I did in the beginning. Its seems that this will allow you to get that function from your HP until they develop a better driver that works with Lion.
Hope this helps all those affected. Aug 7, 2011 7:13 AM. Hi all, Well I decided to bite the bullet and install Lion. I partioned the drive just to be safe so have SL running on one partition and Lion running on the other. Anyway, under Lion, I can scan and print just fine.
Did not have to install the HP software. I am running the 10.6 HP software in Lion and I can scan with no issues. Weird but there you go I will still keep my eye out for the 10.7 drivers which HP will hopefully release soon for people who are having issues scanning. PS: Printer is connected directly to iMac.

You need to use hp1522nf's ethernet port to connect it to the computer, then go to the print and scan settings and add the hp to the list and select it.
Since my ethernet port is being used to go onto the internet, I was temporarily disconnecting and using the cable to plug into the hp. Now, I just bought a USB to ethernet adapter (that Apple makes for the Mac Air) and I am connecting the ethernet cable to the adapter and plugging the USB end into my computer. The hp works without any issues so far. I hope that this helps those affected.
Maybe hp will come out with a new driver, but they haven't yet, and if you want to use your hp as a scanner inthe meantime, then you can do what I mentioned above. Also, see me earlier post about setting up your hp with hp set up assistant while connected via the ethernet port.
Sep 29, 2011 12:34 PM. I just got my printer scanning on the network. It works from both my iMac and MacBook (wirelessly) and here's how: 1.
GO to HP's website: www.hp.com and click on 'Support and Drivers' at the top 2. Click on 'Drivers and Software' on the next page 3. Search for the M1522 (I have a M1522nf) and click on the printer that you want 4. THIS IS KEY: When the list of OS comes up choose 'Mac OS X' WITH NO VERSION EXTENSION - that is don't go to 'Mac OS X 10.7' 5. Download and install the most recent version of hte driver. I ended up with: HPLaserJetM152MFPseries1.4.0.dmg 6. Run the program and install the software.
You do not need to plug the USB cable into the printer if it is a networked printer. You can then scan from 'HP Director' - the program you've installed.
Image Capture doesn't work, you need to use the HP software, but so far that works well for me. I've done it on both my Macs. Nov 21, 2011 12:46 PM. Apple Footer This site contains user submitted content, comments and opinions and is for informational purposes only.
