HP Photosmart C4480 All in One Printer Scanner Copier

I am scanning scrapbook pages with a white background. However, my scanner picks up reds and/or pinks and tints the white parts of the page, so I am not getting a true color. Is there a way to adjust?

Hi JavaJoan,
Let me please take a moment to say "Welcome" to the HP Forums. I see that this is your first visit with us.  I hope you enjoy your experience!
To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I see that you are having some issues with  lines on your copies. 
This could possibly be a power issue. Please make sure you have the printer power cable connected to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip.  Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general.  Please click on the link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
I also suggest that you try the document that deals with Vertical Bands, Lines, or Streaks in Copies or Scans.
Please write me back if you are still having issues. If I don't hear back from you today, I hope you have a Fantastic Tuesday.

  • HP Printer Driver Photosmart C4480 All-in-One printer

    This did not help. There was no change in the printing of any documents. I am using an HP Photosmart C4480 all in one printer. Every thing I print from any website when in Firefox as my browser prints this way. Thanks, Gene

    Hi just been give a HP Potosmart C6380 All in One Printer - Scanner - Copier  , i have no information pack with it. How can i get hold of one to able to connect the printer at home.

    Hello lou, What is the operating system on the computer you want to install the printer on? Depending on the OS, you would download the Full Featured Software for that OS.Then making sure you have your USB cord ready to connect the two together, install the software and follow the instructions as it installs. Connect the USB cord when it tells you to. Here is the support page for that printer. It gives the download options and manuals you would want.HP Photosmart C6380 All-in-One Printer Manuals | HP® Support IF you need further help, let me know.Thanks.

  • All in One Printer/Scanner/Copier/Fax Recommendations

    Hi,
    I'm looking to purchase an all in one printer/scanner/copier/fax device. I was wondering what recommendations other people have. The main purpose would be to print photos, scan photos and some small business office printing. Note, a fax would be nice, but is not absolutely neccessary.
    Scanning photos would be important, since I plan to scan our family's photo albums into iPhoto.
    Also, is there a printer than can communicate with the Mini using bluetooth? If so , does it work well?
    Since I have limited desk space, size would be an issue (smaller the better).
    Looking to spend about $200, slightly more if the cost justifies itself. Less is always better.
    Thanks in advance!

    The Brother MFC-420cn
    http://www.brother-usa.com/MFC/ModelDetail.aspx?ProductID=MFC420CN
    does everything you ask for less than $100 -- except bluetooth.
    The Pluses: Good Mac software. Cheap ink. Networkable.
    The construction is flimsy plastic, but if you are gentle it will hold up.
    Definitely small footprint.
    Paper path is 180 degrees, which is not my preference.
    Personally, I prefer Epson all-in-ones. Also good Mac software and 80 degree paper path for less jamming. Exceptional scan quality.

  • HP Photosmart C3180 All-in-One printer -- SCANNER not working.

    I have had this HP Photosmart C3180 All-in-One printer for a couple years and all is well. HOWEVER, the one function not working properly is SCANNING. I can print fine and copy fine. But when I go to scan something my power button flashes for about 10 seconds and then stops. Nothing happens, and nothing scans. HP said it was not the printer itself, but something to do with my operating system through Apple. I have the current 10.5.6 version of Leopard.
    If I can get any help from others I'd appreciate it!

    HP provided this link to software which resolved my scanning issue.

  • Scanning on my c5280 all in one printer-scanner-copier

    since purchasing my lap running windows 8.1 I have been unable to scan from my all in one printer to my pc. all it allows you to do is to scan the document to a memory card or reprint the image

    Hello , Welcome to the HP Community. I'd like to help you with the issue you are having scanning on your Windows 8.1 system with your HP Photosmart C5280 All-in-One printer. I would suggest installing the full feature software for your product. Fortunately, the full software suite is still available for download for your Windows 8.1 operating system. You can download the software here: HP Photosmart C5200 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver If the issue persists, I suggest trying to install the printer using the Windows Update. You can find all of the steps to do that here (under Step Two: Method Two): HP Single-Function and Multifunction Printers - The Printer Does Not Print in Windows 8 and is Listed as 'Unknown' or 'Unspecified' or Appears with a Yellow Triangle in the Devices and Printers Folder If you're still unable to scan after installing the printer using Windows Update, try downloading the HP Scan and Capture app from the Windows Store. Please respond to let me know if these suggestions helped to resolve your issue!

  • Can't scan from brand-new HP PSC 1600 all-in-one printer/scanner/copier

    Just installed this new all-in-one, and the printer and copier work perfectly. But when I try to scan, it won't do anything. Error message says to configure a "scan destination." But the menu to do so, on the desktop, won't open at all. Just stalls and stalls. Everything else seems to work fine, so no connection problems. Anybody know how to shake this menu loose?
    iMac G3, iBook G3   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    I've been using the HP psc 1210v for about a year now, and I've always been able to print, but scanning (which I do very infrequently) has always been a problem. Typically, to use the scanner, I have to remove the printer and re-install with the latest drivers from HP's (currently 7.7.2).
    So, after doing this again, I was able to scan a couple of images by using the "HP Device Manager". I just double-click on "Scan Picture", which opens the "HP Scan" application, and I can choose from there how to scan; either opening in another Application or Save to File.
    I'm using 10.4.6, but I know I originally scanned some images using this printer in 10.3.9. Hopefully this will continue to work!

  • HP Photosmart C6150 All-in-One Printer/Scanner - Blank, black photo edit window

    When I now scan a photo I wind up with a blank black screen in the window where I would normally be able to edit the photo.

    Hi functionless,
    Welcome to the HP forums!
    I'm sorry to hear you haven't been able to edit your photos on your Photosmart C6150 recently but I will absolutely do my best to lend a hand to help out
    Would I be safe to assume the printer's screen only goes completely black when trying to edit a photo? If you try anything else on the printer (say a copy, a test page, or navigating the Setup menu) do you get the same screen at any time?
    Is the printer plugged directly to a wall outlet? If not, please move it to one.
    Do you have to unplug the printer, or turn it off, to get it back to a regular screen?
    Did you notice any changes or anything prior to this happening?
    Once I hear back from you I will certainly offer some suggestions for you to try

  • Re: scanner failure hp 4280 all in one printer scanner copier

    Can anyone help me please?
    I have an HP Photosmart C4280 which will print but will not scan when using it with my Apple Mac.
    I have looked at the various posts and have installed, deleted, re-installed.  The Mac sees the printer and sees the scanner too.
    This morning the printer has now decided to print in miniature so that anything that I print you need a magnifying glass to read. This is so aggravating.  I have tried to resolve this but have failed miserably.
    Any suggestions would be gratefully received.  Thanks!

    If you are using Snow Leopard and have HP software for pre-Snow Leopard (either from a CD not marked as compatible with 10.6 or you recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and had the HP software on your Mac before you upgraded - even if you did a standard uninstall of the old software or installed new software over the top of it) you must uninstall the software using the 'scrubber' option:
    Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
    Click on Continue
    Highlight your device on the left pane
    Hold the Ctrl, Opt and Cmd keys and click on Uninstall
    There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
    Click Continue and let it finish
    Restart your Mac
    Now, run a Software Update.
    Finally, download and install the "Full Featured" Driver and Software from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.

  • Are there any updates so i can use my HP Photosmart C4780 All in One Printer wirelessly?

    just wondering..are there any updates for the iMac with OS X (10.8.2) so I can use my HP Photosmart C4780 All in One (Print,Scan,Copy)?

    Hi,
    An HP Full Feature Software is not available for Mountain Lion, therefore the Wireless configuration is tricky and cannot be done through the software.
    To connect the printer to your wireless network you will need to create a temporary wireless ad hoc connection, then the wireless connection to your router can be configured via the EWS page:
    Step one: Restore the printer's network default settings
    Touch the ATM button ( ) next to Wireless / Scan .
    Touch the ATM button ( ) next to Wireless Menu .
    Touch the ATM button ( ) next to Wireless Settings .
    Use the up and down ATM buttons ( ) to select Restore Network Defaults , and then press OK .
    Touch the ATM button ( ) next to  Yes to confirm your selection.
    Step two: Networkly connect the Mac to the printer by creating a temporary ad-hoc connection
    From the Mac, click the Wi-Fi icon.
    Click Join other network.
    Click Show Networks.
    Select the printer's SSID, it should be listed as HPSETUP or should contain HP or C4700 within its name.
    Click Connect
    Allow two-three minutes to fully establish the network connection.
    Step three: Connect the printer to your router via the EWS page
    Open Safari.
    Click the Bookmarks icon ()
    Click Bonjour.
    Double click the printer name, the EWS page appears.
    Open the Networking tab.
    From the left pane select Wireless.
    Click the Start Wizard button and follow the steps to connect the printer to your router.
    Step four: Reconnect the Mac to your router
    From the Mac, click the Wi-Fi icon.
    Click Join other network.
    Click Show Networks.
    Select your router SSID.
    Click Connect
    Allow two-three minutes to fully establish the network connection.
    Now the printer should be connected to your network.
    Open Print & Scan, click the Plus sign and add the printer listed as Bonjour.
    btw John Galt - I this it should be spelled as OS X, please correct me if i'm wrong.. ;-)
    Hope that helps,
    Shlomi
