  • 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!

  • HP C5280 all-in-one printer will not print yellow

    I tried cartridge replacement.  Update driver, and clean head. Nothing works. I had this printer in a box for three years without using. Now It will not print yellow or green.

    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!

  • My C5280 All in one printer flashes a blue screen with error B0248122.

    It flashes a blue screen with a different B 8 digit number each time. All the buttons on the front flash yellow. I have to unplug it to turn it off.  Occasionally it will say to turn it off and turn it back on, but it rarely solves the problem.  This used to be an infrequent problem, only appering occasionally, now it is all the time and am not able to use my printer at all.
    Any ideas?

    Hello,
    This error typically is caused by some issue with the ink delivery system.
    Recommend to follow some steps mentioned in this link:

  • C5280 All in One Printer - Black Printing problem

    Hi, I'm new~
    I'm unable to print Black even the 74 Black Inject Print Cartriage is full. The other colours are doing fine.
    It use to be perfect a few months ago but suddenly, it just gone
    Please, I don't get what is the problem here, can anyone help me?
    I have to print my work ASAP X<
    Using Window XP here~

    I will be more than happy to assist you but I would like to know a little bit more about the email you are trying to print.  In order to find the exact settings we need to change, I would like to know what internet web browser you are using.  Are you using Internet Explorer (blue e icon), Firefox, Google Chrome, etc?  What are you signed into? By that I mean, are you using Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, AOL, Hotmail etc?
    It will be much easier to find a setting to change if it's in the web browser or in the email settings than it will be to find it in the printer preferences under "Devices and Printers." 
    If you are using Internet Explorer, look up near the top for the word "Page" with an arrow beside it.  Click on "Page" and a drop-down menu appears.  Select "Text Size" and if it is not set to Medium but rather Larger or Largest, then you have found the problem.  I recommend Medium for print outs to be the same font size as what appears on your screen.  If that does not fix your printing font size, then please answer the questions above so I can look into it further.
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.

  • All in One Printer no longer scanning (C5280)

    I have an oldish printer/scanner that was working fine until I downloaded the update that came from HP on Aug. 13th. Since then, I cannot scan. I got an error message that the machine was disconnected from the computer which made no sense since I can print from the computer just fine. I did all the things the error message suggested: rebooting, disconnecting the cable, redownloading the driver. The machine worked for about 5 pages of the scan after the redownload, then conked out again.
    I saw some directions about going into the registry editor window but they were for Windows 7 and below. I have Windows 8. I did not see a folder for Digital Imaging in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/H-P
    If there are updated directions for Windows 8, pleae let me know.
    I have an All in One Printer (C5280)

    Hello @Toonces , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you are experiencing scan issues.  I would like to try and help.
    I would suggest Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once it is uninstalled, I would suggest putting your system into clean boot mode within the Microsoft configuration.  You can do so by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
    Once the computer is in clean boot mode, I would suggest reinstalling the HP Photosmart C5200 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Hp officejet pro 8500 premier all-in-one printer

    The above printer is 1 1/2 years old and it has stopped printing.  When the printing became light, I installed new print cartridges less than a week ago.  Now, after five days, the printer is consistently cleaning the print heads and aligning the print heads and my documents are not being printed.  And, what is most frustrating, during all the cleaning and aligning, all of my new ink is gone and I'm receiving a message replace ink cartridges.
    Re: Problem with HP Officejet Pro 8500 printer: cleans printheads every time it's turned on
    Options 
    08-24-2011 06:34 PM
    Well,
    to this is say, "get used to it", or throw it away.  Many, Many, Many people have had trouble with this printer.
    The following are common and frustrating issues that this printer exhibits on a regular basis:
    1.  Constant Self-Checking (usually every 20-30 pages of print)
    2. Very persistant Printhead Cleaning/Checking, (Every startup and after about 20-30 pages printed).
    3. Worn-out printheads (usually within 1,100 to 1,500 pages printed).
    4. Paper mis-feeds. 
    5. Paper jams.
    6. Nearly impossible to use once the printer reports ink-depletion.
    7. Nearly impossible to use CIS Ink for larger print jobs.
    8. Ink and printheads "expire" regardless of when they are placed into service. (get a deal on ink or printheads last year?  Too bad, the warranty is already expired, most likely).
    In short, this printer is the most EXPENSIVE printer I've ever owned, and the most frustrating to use. 
    I have just over 2,000 pages of regular text printed matter with very little color, and have already gone through 4 sets of ink, and 2 sets of PrintHeads. 
    Although it's true that you can leave the unit on, and let it go into standby, you should NOT be punished with constant and time-consuming "self-checking" everytime it's turned on, or prints a handful of pages, BUT, it does NOT appear that HP will be standing behind this printer disaster.  AND, to make things worse, they've gone on to redesign it, giving it a different look, and so there are about 6 different models/versions of the OfficeJet Pro 8500.
    Anyone needing a reliable print/fax/scan/copy solution should look beyond this printer, because it will leave you wanting more, and spending more than you ever imagined you would have to on a late model printer.ro
    What is going on?  Why does it just automatically clean and align?  I also get alignment failed messages.  Any suggestiions?  

    rammerjammer,
    Thank you for bringing this to my attention, your feedback is very important and I want to do my best to help.  To answer what is going on, since the printing became light, started cleaning itself constantly, and fails the alignment, the printhead was damaged.  Click here to see and use the Limited Warranty for HP Ink Cartridges, Printheads, and Related Supplies.  There are many ways to contact HP.  The number to call is 1-800-474-6836 for HP and Compaq products for Home & Home Office use.  If you no longer have a warranty with the printer you can still use the warranty that comes with the printhead or ink cartridges.
    If you have a carepack with the printer that extended the one year warranty then the troubleshooting will be covered along with the printer if the printer needs replacing.  Check product warranty here, see HP Out of Warranty Support Options for Select HP Consumer Printers here.
    To order a new printhead you can go to HP Sure Supply and enter your printer or go to the HP Parts Store and order the printhead by part number C4900A for the Black and yellow and part number C4901A for the Cyan Magenta.  These printheads go by region also so be sure you are using the right region, these were found using the United States region. 
    The HP Officejet Pro 8500 Premier All-in-One printer has separated the ink cartridges from the printheads.  The ink cartridges are on the lower left and the removable print heads are on the carriage inside the printer.  The printer goes through a calibration process when turned on that will use ink.  Leave the printer on and let it go into stand by mode.  This type of printer is energy star efficient and made to calibrate on start up and be left on.  Allow the printer to clean or calibrate only if the printer must.  If it starts cleaning a lot it may be time to do a little maintenance to the printer (recommend once a month for maintenance).  Please see the following links for further details.
    Cleaning the Printhead Contacts
    Printer Paper Tears, Wrinkles, or is Damaged while Printing from the All-in-One
    Paper Path Issues in the Automatic Document Feeder
    Officejet Pro 8500 User Guide
    The printer has a duty cycle of 7.5k page/month.  The XL cartridges have a composite page yield of 1.4k pages with about a third of the black ink left over.  To me it would seem that the printhead should last somewhere in between.  This printer was designed to save money on ink compared to the rest of the officejets.  I hate that it has been causing so much trouble, hopefully the information I provided will help.

  • Driver question - my all in one printer will print but not scan

    Hi
    I have an HP c4280 (you know, the all in one printer you could get for free with the mail in rebate in 2007). I just plug it in and my mac recognizes it as a printer, and it prints fine, but image capture does not recognize it as a scanner. Before I upgraded to leopard I had all of HP's stupid software installed but after upgrading to leopard it didn't work (surprise). A lot of other things didn't work either so I did an erase and install and now everything works beautifully (I feel like I have old Tiger back, but better). However, I do not want to install HP's stupid overbloated and highly unnecessary mountain of software on my nice new clean system (I have turned into kind of an apple-only purist I guess ^_^). I checked HP's website and all they have is the same ginormous software bundle for download, and the installation wizard does not allow the option to install only components of the software (its all 28 programs or nothing). So, my question is, does anybody know where I can find only the driver I need (or WHAT driver I need) to make this printer compatible with image capture so I can scan?

    You need to download the full featured driver from the HP site, and it also seems HP has an update for the Leopard installation as well.

    I too have a C4280 and wasn't able to use my scanner until I had fully installed the HP software.

  • HP all-in-one printer app

    Trying to get my NEW windows 8 laptop connected to my MFP M276 color printer...
    I get to
    http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-gb/app/hp-all-in-one-printer-remote/94883cdd-504d-4e94-871c-c70...
    this eventually asks me to create a Microsoft account. I don't care to have Big Brother Bill Gates be involved in my HP printer driver.
    But finding no way around this, I finally try to make one.  It asks for an email address, but the domain is restricted to either Hotmail or Outlook! HELLO? Are there only 2 email providers on the planet?  I am stunned. Did a single human test this software?
    I finally did the traditional search for a driver, not an app, and find one on the HP site.
    Lesson... if you're on a laptop, and see the word "app," run as fast as you can.

    Hello Seahorse1305,
    Welcome to the forums!
    I am here to assist you with the printing issue you are having with your Photosmart B210. The first thing I do recommend, is running the HP Print and Scan Doctor to find and fix printing and scanning problems. If there is more of an issue that the tool cannot fix, it will let you know what the problem is.
    Please let me know how this turns out for you!
