All in One Printer C5180 stopped printing/scanning from mac 10.6.8

Hi
My All-in-One C5180 has stopped printing and scanning from mac 10.6.8. It had worked for the past few years but after not using it for 8 months (out of country) it hasn't worked since I came back. I have done as a few suggested, carried out a software update on mac and also downloaded a new driver from this site. Neither worked. The message appearing is " printer off-line" and the printer symbol has red exclamation mark.
Would really appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance
Anne

HP Deskjet all-in-one F4440 will not print

My HP Deskjet all-in-one- F4440 will not print. I have put in a new color and a new black cartridge. It clanks loudly when it moves back and forth. Finally it stops and then pulls plain paper through as though printing on it - does this two or three times. then it pulls plain paper halfway through and stops. I have to tug and carefully pull halfway paper back out towards front to remove.

Any suggestions for an all-in-one "cable modem router print server" (N)

any suggestions for an all-in-one "cable modem router print server" (N)?

If that's a problem with your cable company, change the company.
If your cable company is not able to provide you with a cable modem which gets you full performance for their service why would you bother with that company or try to make it better than them?
If you subscribe to a 100 Mbit/s service they must be able to provide you with a modem that does 100 Mbit/s and be able to demonstrate you 100 Mbit/s on your cable.
If they are unable to provide you with a modem which does 100 Mbit/s and thus cannot demonstrate that the service they have installed in fact can do 100 Mbit/s but only give you a 50 Mbit/s because that's the best they have, why bother buying yourself a better modem to find out whether or not their service does what it promises or not??
In addition, an integrated device won't get you better performance. On the contrary, consumer devices are generally single CPU (and core) devices. It's usually running some Linux or similar. If a single process gets overloaded it can drag down the performance of the whole device. For instance, let's say there is a bug in the print server software of the router. You print something and it hangs and the print server process on the router runs wild. Now the CPU is fully loaded and the routing performance will go down. If there is a bug in the routing software it will bring down the whole device and you can't even print.
You'll get the best performance if you use dedicated devices because then one device cannot overload another. Get a modem. Get a wireless ethernet router. Get a printer with integrated print server. That's far better.
It's like the all-purpose audio device compared to components...

Printer has stopped printing in black, HP Printer Photosmart 5514

My printer suddenly stopped printing in black. We have two computers networked wirelessly, and from my husband's computer there are no problems. From my computer I can print other colors, but not black. Test prints print in colors but not black. I have tried uninstalling software, reinstalling, and reconfiguring for wireless without success. Reinstallation seems to have gone OK but problem is not resolved. I have also tried to connect via a USB port, but no success here either. I turned off the firewall for the last installation but this did not help either.
Printer: HP Photosmart 5514
OS: Windows 7
No error message just blank pages
No system changes made
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Start by following the troubleshooting steps in this document, especially check the vent as shown in step three of Solution Six.
I suspect when you print the test page in Solution Six there will be no black ink on the page. Most likely the computer you have that appears to print in black has its media settings set to photo paper, which would use the color inks to print black.
If the printer is in warranty I would suggest you Contact HP for replacement.

This is the third time in the past several weeks when my printer just stopped printing for no reason

I have a windows 7 laptop and a HP 8500 officejet fax....my printer has stopped printing again....I have disconnected everything and it still won't print.

How is the printer connected - USB, wired LAN, or Wireless LAN? Are there any error messages?
Running the diagnostics at http://www.hp.com/go/tools may help resolve the issue.

My brother mfc-240c printer just stop printing information when i send it from my computer.

my brother MFC-240c printer just stop printing information when i send it from my computer.

Hello Dethredic!
Is it a usb printer ? Do you use the desired driver for it ?

Ccould you tell me the name of a all in one printers that i can use on mac and pc, could you tell me the name of a all in one printers that i can use on mac and p

could you tell me the name of a all in one printers that i can use on mac and pc, can i buy it in apple store

What version of OS X are you using? If it's recent (Snow Leopard or Lion), almost all the newest all-in-one printers (regardless of brands and models) are compatible with both Windows (XP and over) and OS X. Finding a network-operated (or shared) printer could prove more difficult, of course.
Now, buying one in an Apple Store is another matter, first because I'm not sure you can find printers there (I may be wrong, and it may depend on how big the Apple Store is; I don't remember seeing any in the Paris Apple Stores I went to, namely at the Louvres and near the Opera), and second because you're bound to pay a lot more for one in an Apple Store than in, say, a department store or an electronics retailer.
Here's a little food for thought: http://www.macbroadband.co.uk/mac-compatible/best-printers-for-apple-macs/

My Wireless HP ENVY 4500 All-In-One Printer Has Stopped Printing PDF Files

I installed the subject wirelessly printer about 1 years ago. It works quite well with my iMac OS X10.9.1 desktop and my Win7 laptop PC. But, it recently stopped printing PDF files for no apparent reason, and I get no error messages.
It won't print PDFs from my browsers nor from Adobe Reader (11.0.07) ... but all other document file types print OK from my browsers and Reader.
The only thing that comes close to printing PDFs is that sometimes, when I try to print a PDF page or file from within Adobe Reader, it prints - on a single sheet - 6 tiny duplicate sections of what appears to be the upper right-hand quadrant only of the original PDF document.
Please note that I un-installed and re-installed the printer and its driver twice without success. Also, no amount of printer re-configuring of layout, size, etc. made a difference. I received some previous work-around advice about converting the PDFs to a Word document, and printing that. But this is just not convenient; and besides, the printer is suppose to print PDFs (PDF is my document of choice for basically all my collaborative work). I should also state that I received no help with this problem from the HP ENVY user group forum; so, I guess that means you may be my last resort. And finally, I don't know if this is relevant or not, but I upgraded my iMac from Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) to Mavericks (OS X 10.9) a few months ago - this upgrade was frought with all sorts of teething problems! - and I am now somewhat suspicious that something in the upgrade might have something to do with my current PDF problem.
Could someone please advise me on any Adobe Reader and/or printer re-configs, re-sets or other actions I should try?
Thanks

HP ENVY 114 all-in-one d411c and wireless printing.

I have a HP ENVY 114 all-in-one d411c printer connected wirelessly and a HP Pavilion HPE h8-1237 which is also connected wirelessly to my NetGear N750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router. The problem is that the printer, according to the desktop computer, is constantly going OFFLINE. I have tried reinstalling printer software, ran the Print and Scan Doctor, etc. with no luck. I think the problem is with the desktop computer because I also have a HP Pavilion dv7 notebook which is also connected wirelessly and it can print all day long with no problems, never goes OFFLINE. I don't know what else to do. I recently upgraded both computers to Windows 8 Pro. The printer worked fine when I was using Windows 7 Ultimate. I need some suggestions, Please. Thank You in advance.

Sounds like you are having issues with your printer going offline? Now is this actually inhibiting your printing? Because if the printer is in sleep mode it will register as offline. If you ARE having issues with printing, then we can check some of the setting on the router. Here are its specs :
http://reviews.cnet.com/routers/netgear-n750-wireless-dual/4507-3319_7-34467825.html
Here I can see that there are potential hazards, I would recommend contacting Netgear and making sure that the router is broadcasting on the 2.4GHz range, and that it is set for 802.11g and not 802.11n wireless. These could effect your printer's responsiveness.
Run this diagnostic tool :
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c03286146
And as a last bit, you might want to consider setting the printer up with an Ethernet-network connection and seeing if the issue is with the method of communication.
Let me know and I will get right back with you!

HP all in one J4550-won't print blue

I have a 5 month old printer, HP all in one J4550. Last month we put in a new color cartridge (from Rapid Refill, a very reputable place for re-manufactured ink cartridges) & now we are totally missing one color, blue. I have gotten a replacement thinking it was the cartridge and am having the same problem. I have done all of the cleanings and I've even swabbed the contacts with alcohol. Any other suggestions? Is it possible that the remanufactered cartridge ruined something? Help!!
Thanks everyone

When you say commands what do you mean about that? Like it wont print? Or wont scan?
Please let us know.

HP C4385 All In One is the worst printer I've ever bought

I will never buy another HP printer or other HP product for the rest of my life. I purchased a HP C4385 Photosmart All In One printer and it has been absolutely terrible from day one. First when installing it screwed up my LAN so bad that I had to spend hours on a live chat with Lynkys to get my network up and running. HP software would automatically delete my current network to establish its own for the wireless printer connection. After many attempts I gave up on trying to connect the printer wirelessly, which was one of the main reasons I bought this model.
Somehow the printer's software and drivers mysteriously delete themselves because I've had to reinstall the software and drivers around 15-20 times. When I go to use the printer, it will show it as a new device and that I need to install the software and drivers. This isn't a problem with my computer. It doesn't happen with any other device I use- other printers, camera, flash drives, etc. I have downloaded any updates but they do not help.
The monitoring software is constantly running with 3 or 4 HP process running at all times using up my RAM. The alignment is constantly off and when I go to align it gives me another nonsense error message because it doesn't acknowledge the alignment paper.
To top it off, after using about half the ink in a cartridge it won't print anymore because it says the print cartridge is missing or empty when I know its not. I have tried every troubleshooting tip offered and none of them work.
I am sure this will end up in another {Content Removed: no legal discussion permitted} due to faulty equipment knowingly being sold. I don't want my money back, I want the 50 hours I have wasted dealing with all of the {Content Removed: Language Filter Evasion} this printer has caused me.
Thanks a lot HP for selling me a piece of junk device. I used to respect you and the products you sold. Not anymore I will purchase another HP product because of the frustration this one has caused me.

I fully agree with this complaint. Curiously, I have faced similar problems like him. Frequently, I have seen the messages like "paper jam ", "Cartridge missing" while there wasn't any paper jam and genuine brand new cartridges were already installed. My experience is worse than his. I could hardly use it for more than one week! What is worse the wireless operation could never be achieved. Now this printer is lying discarded.
It really beats all logic that why should one not be able to scan a document (say -- to save the image on the hard disk for possible future use) even if there was so called paper jam or missing cartridge?
Also, it is virtually impossible to delete any job once you have clicked the button print. The printer would keep on retaining the job, making the printing of other jobs impossible, unless perhaps you uninstall it and then re-install! Why can't HP find a solution to this problem?
I join his sentiments that I would refrain from buying any HP product in future.

HP Deskjet All in ONe L7650 will not print black only --

Started doing this with previously working black cartridge, updated software--prints, but blank page comes out when set to black ink only; prints other colors.
Changed black print cartridge and still will not print black. Diagnostic page prints other colors.
Printhead health shows good for all colors.

What brand of printer cartridges (not printhead) did you use the last time you changed them? I don't know if it was because one or both of my printer cartrdiges went dry, but I put new cartridges in (not printhead) and it improved somewhat--I kept trying to clean the printheads but it seemed to never get resolved.
I refuse to have to buy new printheads. I tried several cycles of "align printheads" "clean printheads" and never got a decent print out, but I did get to the point of all the colors printing although magenta printhead makes printing errors and so I never know what I am going to get with color anymore.
It seems to be at its worst when printing in "draft" but in normal or best (with more ink coming through) it seems better--the higher ink volume seems to cover some of the problems with the printheads.
So, I am justing using it "as is" and not replacing the printheads--because it is a waste and yes, could almost get a new printer for this cost.
I wish I had never gotten this All in One and just stuck with the old 970 csi and the old UMAX scanner, which was a better scanner, but thought I would "save some space" by getting this since it scans legal, which I needed.
Just keep trying to reseat the printheads (also trying to reclean them, which seems to make it worse) and keep printing out those "tools" alignment and cleaning procedures.
But no help from HP.

How to install All-In-One software with network printer?

I plugged my 7310xi into my Linksys WRT54G router. In Windows 7 64-bit I found the printer, installed the default drivers, and it's printing happily via the network.
But I need to install the HP All-In-One software if I want more advanced functions like scanning to my computer.
Downloaded the software from the web. During installation I get to the part where it asks me to choose how the printer connects to the computer. I select "through the network," click next,and it just keeps on kicking me back to this screen and I can't proceed. Any ideas?
Here's the error:
Now Launching=X:\hpzdui40.exe -I XXX -f X:\DIVins??.DAT
fail to load library X:\hpzscb01.dll
CNetworkUIPlugInApp::InitInstance fail to initialize sacabod. Result = o;
GetLastError = 193
RUN: Driver UI Plug-In exits returning 50
Exit code=50
I've set it to run in Vista compatibility mode and Run as Admin.
Message Edited by fuzzybabybunny on 08-06-2009 11:59 AM

I had exactly the same problem with Windows 7 64-bit and HP Photosmart 2610xi. All you need to do is right click on the installation program, go to properties, go to compatibility mode, select Windows Vista SP2 and optionally check run as administrator. It worked after that.
