All-in-One Photosmart C5180 not working correctly Airport Express

I am new at this so please bare with me.
Last night I installed all the software etc and hooked the printer up via usb into my airport express. I did all the instructions as instructed. As I began to use the HP software, it would not recognize the printer.
So to sum up I can print from like a website or print from iPhoto etc. However I cant use the HP software to scan copy etc. When I go through the printer recognition software it isnt found in the first menu it is not able to find the printer. I have tried USB and Network. What am I doing wrong? Is there a guide somewhere that is more indepth for setting up the airport expresses with a printer? The guide included etc isn't as in depth as I would have hoped for.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, of the multi-function printers, that are supported, they are supported for printing only...the "advanced" functions (scanning, copying, faxing, etc.) will not work.
Take a look at one of these iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility links, depending on which AirPort base station you have:
o 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) or AirPort Express Base Station (AX)
o 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)
If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
Also, you may find the following Apple article helpful.

Photosmart C4280 not working with Airport Express

I have a Photosmart C4280 connected to an Airport Express Base Station via USB for wireless printing. I have two computers that I want to use for printing - an iMac and a Toshiba laptop running Windows XP. Printing from the Mac works perfectly and required zero configuration. On the laptop I created the printer using Bonjour. It located the printer on the network without a problem and I selected the driver for the HP 4200 Series printer. However, when I try to print, the print job sits in the qeue and eventually I receive an error message that it couldn't print.
I have disabled the Norton and Windows firewalls but that doesn't solve the problem. I have also tried some generic drivers but that didn't work. Does anybody have any additional suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

It describes a Vista/AirPortExpress/C4280 installation, but should be relevant to XP.

LaserJet Pro MFP M125nw - Scan to app All-in-One Remote does not work

Hi gurus,
Basically I have pruchased that super-printer and I am now trying to achieve scan to my mobile devices.
I have one iPad 2 on iOS 7, on 2 Android devices (smaller tablet and phone) both running Kitkat 4.4.2
I am trying to submit a scan from all these devices and retrieve the output within my mobile devices, actually this is fairly described here and concerns accurately my printer model : http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02486319&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&destPage=pr...
Unfortunately, What happens :
- From my iPad, the AiO app states that my printer is not compatible with the application !!
- From my 2 Android devices, the All-in-One Remote app will work fine, except the scan feature as nothing happens (well, when tapping either 'Preview' or 'Scan' button in the Scan section, I see a 'Cancel' button during 0,1 second and I am back to that scan section)
Any one could help please ???
This question was solved.

Hello,
Can no one help ?
Is the product description misleading ? Is the AiO app not really reasy to support this printer ?

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.

8500 All in One - touch screen not working

One minute the touch screen with all it's functions was working fine and then, bam (!), the touch screen stopped working and I can't even use the one/off switch to power the unit off - it does not respond. Funny thing is that the printer is still working from my computer so I can still send a print job via the wireless. With the touch screen not working I can't use any function from the unit itself (copy a hard copy, fax a hard copy) and if the unit runs out of paper I have to unplug it to reboot since I can't hit the 'enter' on the touch screen once I've reloaded.
Bottom line --- nothing from the unit itself works. Has a printer fairy locked me out or does this sound like a hardware error? Thanks for any help ...

Excellent. Let me know how round 2 treats you. The sad demise could have been due to a couple of things...as a side question, is the climate where you live especially dry right now? I may request that our testers recheck how well we handle a static shock on the product if it is dry where you live.

C7250 All in one Wireless radio not working

I have a C7250 All in one printer that suddenly the wireless stopped working. I ran the wireless test and it says the radio is on but the radio fails. The wireless LED is on, any suggestion on what could be the problem?

Shut off the printer. Hold the # and 6 keys while and a for a few seconds after turning it back on.
If that does not work, it is toast. You could plug it into your router with an Ethernet cable and it would have the same functionality and still work with wirelessly connected computers.

Do I uninstall and reinstall?? Or something else??
Please someone advise

Deskjet F4435 All in One Scanner undetected, not working

I have Mac O S X 10.6.8, and the deskjet F4435 all in one. My printer is working fine. I am having issues with the scanner. I open the scanner and it gives an error message, "Failed to open session on the device." I already uninstalled all the hp software and reinstalled it. The scanner used to work by using photosmart, scan, except now it searches for device and doesn't detect it. Please help me fix this problem.

Hello @computerilltrit , welcome to the forums!
I saw your message, and I am hoping I have a fix for the issue you are having with scanning on 10.6. Below are the steps I would recommend that you try, and also do them in order they are written.
Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
Repair disk permissions
Restart the Mac
Download and install the Full Feature Driver here which contains scan software: HP Deskjet Full Feature Software and Drivers - Mac OS X v10.4, v10.5, and v10.6
Try scanning from the HP software and you should be able to scan, fingers crossed!
Let me know what happens!

All-in-one touch screen not working

I have an HP Pavilion 23 All-in-one desktop that the touch screen has stopped working. My system info shows I have no Pen or Touch installed. All of the answers for fixing this problem tell me to go in and enable Touch - how can I do that when my system says I don't have it. Yes, I have had it for the last 18 months so where did it go? This problem happened once before and I did a system restore (for another problem) and my touch was restored. I did this again and it did not work. I am at wits end trying to solve this. Can anyone help - Please?
