Photosmart C6280 All-in-One Printer Will not acquire IP Address

I have happily had a Photosmart C6280 for some time now, however I recently replaced my router and my ISP Cable Modem (NetGear WNDR 3700 and Cisco 2100 respectively). At first everything was wonderful. Sadly, my NetGear router went bad and I had to return it. As it stands right now my printer will not take an IP address from the router. I have tried everything I can think of, several times and nothing has changed. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software on the Windows 7 and XP machines that I'm using. I have tried to manually set an IP address but on my printer when I'm done inputting all of the information there is no "enter" option. Looking at the Connectivity Status page it states : Network Interface Adaptor Summary

I have tried two different print servers and nothing. I am at the end of my rope and any help will be greatly appreciated.
                                                                                                                           Thank You
                                                                                                                             -ndrdog

On the front of the printer: Setup > Network > Reset Network Defaults.
Now, set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wired along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you know what that is, set an IP outside that range but no higher than 254 (the last number in the address). If you do not know this, enter the current IP address.
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Leave the gateway and DNS blank. Click 'Apply'
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One printer will not work

Printer worked one day and the next day it did not and now will not turn on. I did not turn it off. It went off all by itself. Only 3 years old and not over used. Have checked outlet and power cable. Green LED light comes on when connected to outlet but as soon as I connect it to the printer, the light goes out and the printer will not turn on. Is it dead?

I have the exact same problem
Where do we find a solution

HP C7200 All-in-One printer will not print through the Wifi network

I have used the HP printing and scanning Doctor but none of the proposed solutions have solved the problem. The blue light for wirelwss 802.11g service is on and connected to the same Wifi address as my laptop is using now. My Dell laptop is running Windows 7 and the printer works if I use the USB connection instead of the Wifi. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the community @Larrypat
I understand your printer is not connecting wireless and only connecting USB. I have some questions and ideas for you that should help. Let's get to it!
Could you please remove the USB cable, run the Print and Scan Doctor again and send me a screen shot of the results from running the diagnostic tool?
Also let me know which model from the C7200 series you have:
HP Photosmart C7250 All-in-One Printer
HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One Printer
HP Photosmart C7288 All-in-One Printer
Try power cycling the network devices:
Turn off the printer and computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press any buttons on the router).
Plug the router back in and wait another minute, next turn on the printer and computer. Run the Print and Scan Doctor afterwards and try printing.
Let me know how it goes and the results

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.

HP 7780 All in One Printer will not print PDF files!!!

I have an HP 7780 All in One printer setup as a network printer. It will copy, scan, and print everything except PDF files. Why will it not print PDF files? You send a PDF file to print. The printer spins up like its about to start printing and then nothing. No error message or nothing. Nothing even shows up in the print queue as waiting to print.

Happy Monday edam. Green is actually the result of two or more color mixed together. Lets try printing a self test report:
Make sure the All-in-One is on and loaded with unused, plain, white paper.
Press Setup . The Setup Menu appears.
Press the down arrow button to select Tools , and then press OK .
Select Self-test Report , and press OK . The self-test report prints.
Let me know the results of the self test. Are all the colors present on the self test or are you missing specific colors?
Thanks!

HP 1510 all in one printer will not install

I have just purchased a new 1510 all in one printer.
I have installed the printer software from the CD supplied.
However when I try to run the printer HP assitant comes on with run time error.
I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the printer many times but with the same result

Hello @aka6812 ,
Thanks a lot for the question, now lets get you an answer!
I see you are experiencing a "run time error" when trying to run your printer assistant after installing the HP 1510 software drivers.
Here is a description of what a run time error is. Microsoft Run Time Error
This might be because you have an outdated operating system, anti-virus blocking etc. Please take some time to follow the 3 step procedure to see if that fixes the issue.
Here is also a separate way to download the drivers from the web instead of a disk. Just click the appropriate link - Install / Uninstall software & drivers
Let me know what goes on! Look forward to hearing back from you!

3512 all in one printer will not copy

Installed new ink, both color and black. Cleaned print heads and still get broken copy results with light print and white lines going horizontally through the words.

Hi @Dana47,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand you are running into some copy issues with your HP Deskjet 3512, you have installed new ink and cleaned the printheads but are still getting poor copy quality. You have light prints and white lines going horizontally through the words.
First, I would like you to go ahead and perform a Hard Reset:
1. Unplug all cables and memory cards from the printer. Unplug the power cord, directly from the back of the printer while the printer is still turned on.
2. Unplug the other end of the cord from the power source.
3. If there is a power module on the power cord, disconnect one end and reconnect it.
4. After 60 seconds, plug the cord directly into a wall outlet (not a surge protector or battery backup as they can cause the printer to lose basic functionality over time).
5. Plug the power cord into the back of the printer.
6. The printer should automatically power back up. If it doesn't, turn it on with the power button.
7. Try making a photocopy (if your printer is an all-in-on printer) before connecting any other cables to the printer.
8. Connect any other needed cables to the printer.
Now continue here: Fixing Print Quality Issues
Please let me know the outcome, I will watch for you reply.
Thanks,

HP 2480 all in one printer will not print documents, i.e., Word, e-mail, etc.

I have installed the Printer diagnostic utility and the test page printed, so I thought my problem was solved. However, the printer still will not print anything! I have tried pictures, Word documents, e-mail documents, etc. The printer was working fine a week ago, and I have restored the computer to an earlier time, but nothing has fixed the problem!

I have the same problem with HP Photosmart C4750!!
Anybody have solution?
