HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One , Mac 0SX 10.6.8 Error message:' pump motor stalled

HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One , Mac 0SX 10.6.8 Error message:' pump motor stalled' press (I don't recognise the icon!)
What is the button & what is the solution?

Hello, I don't have a floor model of that printer available and the manual for this printer does not mention the pump motor. But I would first try removing and reseating all the cartridges in the printer and power cycle the machine. If you are still getting that error message I would do a hard reset that involves removing the cartridges. No user settings are lost with a hard reset and it is a very common tool used to try to resolve a hardware issue with a printer.  To do a hard reset with removing the cartridges: 
While the machine is powered on take all the cartridges out of the machine. Close cartridge access.
Then pull the power cord out of the rear of the Product, and then unplug the cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 20 seconds.
Plug power cord back into wall outlet and then back in the rear of the printer. It should power on by itself but after 10 seconds or so use the power button to turn machine on
Wait for printer to go through start up process and as it recognizes the cartridges are missing (the display panel will inform of missing cartridges) put them back in their slots.

  • I have an hp photosmart c7280 all-in-one series printer won't print. error message, system problem

    I have an HP Photosmart All-in-One C7280 series printer/fax/copier/scanner. I have been having issues with printing for the past few weeks. It is a wireless printer, with a jack into the wall (for fax) and it is plugged into a power source. I never used to have issues with it before, but recently, it won't print when I send a document to it to print. It will print its configuration pages, reports, etc if I select them from the Printer's menu but not when I send a doc to it to print. First it was saying it was offline, but I figured out how to override that by operating as an administrator and selecting "Use Printer Online" from the dropdown menu when I right clicked on the printer from the control panel. But now it says "Error: Printer failed to print document. System error".
    Noooo clue what to do now. This is the only color printer we have so we kind of need it to work. We bought this printer off the shelf at a office store (before I started working here) and so we don't have any designated technichians to work on it. I asked the guy who services our Image Runner Copier to look at it but he had no clue what was wrong with it. Hopefully someone can help?

    I need to know what operating system you are using to helps narrow troubleshooting a bit, what OS are you running?

  • HP Photosmart c7280 All-in-One Mac 10.7.1 (Lion) the "Two-Sided​" option is grayed and cannot use?

    I have a HP Photosmart c7280 All-in-One printer and a Macbook Air that runs the Lion operating system (10.7.1). 
    I am trying and needing to print via the "Two-sided" option that appears under the "Layout" pull down tab option, however, the "Two-Sided" option appears to be greyed out as if you are not allowed to use it.  I am sure that that is not the case I just do not know how to unlock it yet I guess?
    I just made sure that all of my software was up to date and it is currently.
    Everything else is perfect about the printer and I have been using it for years, so thank you!  I would just like to know what on earth I am doing wrong or need to do to unlock that "Two-sided" setting, so I do not waste a ton of paper!  Thanks again!
    Sincerely,

    Hi DAP413,
    In order to actiate the Two-Sided duplex accessory, you have to enable it from the printer settings:
    -Enter System Preferences > Print & Scan
    -Double click the Photosmart printer name to open the Print Queue.
    -Click the Printer Setup button
    -Click the Driver tab and make sure the Two-Sided Printing Accessory option is checked.

  • My HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One printer won´t print out documents, just pictures ...

    My HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One printer won´t print out documents, just pictures. I´ve used the printer, since it was new on the marked, and it has worked perfectly until a few weeks back. There is no problem printing out pictures, but only blank pages comes out when I´m printing out documents. Regardless if it is Word, Excel etc.
    I´ve never used anything else than original cartridges, and the printer is used on Mac OS X 10.7.4. I´ve tried to reinstall the printer several times without any success.
    Can anyone help me?

  • Since I installed Mountain Lion operating system, I cannot print.  I have a HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one printer.  I get a message when I try to update the software "Server not available  The software update service is currently not available."

    After installing Mountain Lion, my printer doesn't work.  I know it is connected as it shows up,  The message is:
    "The printer software was installed incorrectly.  Please reinstall the software for this printer or conact the anufacturer for assistance."
    I used the disk that came with the printer as when I go to the HP site, it tells me that Apple has the drivers needed.  I unistalled the printer and reistalled.  Previously, I just went to the HP website an everything worked fine for drivers, program, etc.  I never had to use the CD that came with the printer.  My printer is:  HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one, it is wireless, but I even took the computer and plugged it into the printer to make sure that everything was connected.  Can someone please help me to get this working,
    Thank you,

  • HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one problem printing. Ink System Failure has failed unable to copy--

    I'm having a problem printing on my HP Photosmart C7280 All-In-One. The following message is what came up on the printer screen: Ink System Failure has failed unable to copy, receive faxes or print. Refer to printer documentation Error O.cl9a0007.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Hey Spider! First off welcome to the forum.
    I would recommend removing all the ink cartridges, unplugging the USB cable from the computer that connects to the printer, and then shutting the printer off completely by removing the power cord. Then restart your computer. Turn the printer back on but leave it disconnected from the computer. After it has finished its power on cycle go ahead and insert the ink cartridges back into the printer and be sure to seat them properly.
    After you have all the cartridges back in the printer properly then connect it to the computer. See if this resolves the issue. If not post back with any findings.
    Thanks,

  • HP Photosmart C7280 All in One installati​on problems with windows 8.1

    Hi,
    I have a HP Photosmart C7280 All in One printer which was working fine on wifi with Windows 8. A few days ago I got the prompt to upgrade to 8.1. Following this the printer would not work at all, and I got prompt/warning message to re-install the printer software. So I went to the control panel and removed all the old HP software, and tried to re-install the latest one from the HP site...to no avail.
    I have tried doing this a number of ways - manual download, downloading the HP software that determines what software is required, then downloads it for you....
    It seems to start unpacking ok, but then gets stuck on 'Checking System' and never progresses to do anything else. Help!

  • Photosmart c7280 All-in-one Network Issues

    Hi, i was given this printer (Photosmart c7280 All-in-one) by my dad about a year ago it worked flawlessly for quite some time. However a few months ago we had a really bad storm and lost power and ever since then I have been getting error messages and my network radio has not been working at all. I am afraid that it might be fried but if i could have any help troubleshooting it at all that would be greatly appreciated! Also, i was reading some other help forum posts and tried to reset it (# and 6 while powering on) and it printed out a connectivity status report by itself. It says "The wireless network interface (Wifi0) is not functioning properly. This may be a problem with the printing device hardware." Again im afraid it might never work again but any help is appreciated! Thanks

    Hi,
    Since you have tried performing reset and printer status shows as WIFI ICU not working, you can try connecting printer with an ethernet cable and use as a network printer.

  • Photosmart C7280 All-In-One & feed other than plain paper

    I have a HP Photosmart C7280 All-In-One printer. This printer is supposed to be a photo printer however the paper feeder does not accept any paper other than plain paper. i have purchased some a4 heat transfer paper but the paper feeder does not pick it up. there ae options in the print settings to change the type and thickness of the paper being used but it seems useless. and there is no manual paper feeder so it renders this printer a basic plain paper printer which is to what it is advertised to be. it is part of my business that i am able to print on paper that is the thickess of glossy photo paper and cards for invitations which is certainly why i purchased this model. Any assistanve ou can provide would be greatly apprecited. thanks.

    Sorry you are having this problem. I have  a C7280 and have printed from main paper tray on thick card-stock paper, photo pape, heavy greeting card stock and iron on transfer paper without any problem . I did not have to change any settings except the printing type (I normally use fast economical printing) and paper type (if appropriate) on the printer document properties page and printing shortcuts tab.I think you need to get on the live chat with a technician because you should not be having this problem. I have had good experiences with live chat.
    The smaller photo paper tray works fine for me too with the special sized photo paper.
    This may not help much but it shows the paper handling specs...

    I have an HP photosmart C7280 All in One and I get a message that says pump motor stalled.  I have done everything from resetting and turning it off.  I have checked to make sure that there is not any paper jam.  It makes a clicking sound after it has been reset and then the message "pump motor stalled" pops up.  Any suggestions or should I just toss and buy new???  It is only three years old but it is out of warranty.

    You might try the suggestions in this post.  There is also a post here that reports success.

    Printer = PhotoSmart C7280
    Situation #1
    Printer screen displays message "Ink System Failure" with error code 0xc19a0035
    Situation #2
    All lights flash - printer screen is blue with symbol (power) and message b03771de in white.
    Is this printer beyond  saving?
    The printer may have suffered from a sudden power outage prior to these problems appearing.
    PC - operating system is not relevant.

    The same thing happened to me ... I tried everything.  If I turned it off and put it back on it would print or copy but thats it.  I finally just bought a new printer.  HP officejet pro 8600 e all in one.  Stay away from this one if you have to buy a new printer.  Its not half as nice as the C7280.  No preview when you print and you can't even pick which pages you want to print.  A lot of wasted paper and ink!  Seems quite a few of us are getting that error message from the C7280, maybe HP did something wrong and should compensate us for the malfuncuntion!  Now I wish I didn't buy another HP.
