C6180 All-in-one - will no longer copy

Recently my C 6180 All-in-One stopped being able to copy, or scan (haven't tried faxing) I get error message on printer window: "Unable to scan, copy, or send a fax". it will still print a document from the computer. No ink cartridges are "expired" (ie, "you have to keep buying our cartridges, even if you try to be frugal, or we'll break your computer"). Tried all the HP suggestions from their Help section - unplugging from unit and power source, plugging into wall socket instead of surge protector, restarting the computer, etc. Keeps failing and the only way I can turn it off is by unplugging it, even though it says to use the power button. And it's well out of warranty.

Hello Eli9,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I am sorry to hear that your C6180 has an error "Unable to scan, copy, or send a fax". I also read your updated post, since the error does not happen when using the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) it would seem that a hardware failure is present in the scan mechanism.
I think this because when the ADF is used, the scan mechanism remains stationary. When the glass is set to be used the scan mechanism needs to move the full length of the glass. If you hold up the lid for the glass, does the scan mechanism appear to be straight vertically?
If that be the case, I am not aware of a fix sorry to say.
Regards,
JERENDS

  • Officejet Pro 8620 All in One Will No Longer Scan in Color

    Hello,
    I have an Officejet Pro 8620 all in one.  I was scanning a few items last night and the first few items came out in color fine. Then all of the sudden as I continued to scan the next few images would only scan in black and white.  I cannot seem to get the scanner to scan in color again.  How can I fix this?  I did not change any settings or anything while I was scanning so I do not know why the sudden change to black and white?  I am on a Mac computer with all newest operating system etc.  
    Thanks in advance

    Hi there
    I have some more suggestions for you to try. Please try them in order I have written them in.
    Reset the printing system
    Repair disk permissions
    Restart the Mac
    Install the Full Feature Driver here: HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers
    In addition, download this Apple driver: HP Printer Drivers v3.0 for OS X
    That should do the trick!
    Good luck

  • My HP Officejet 6500 E709a All-in-One will not print more than one copy at a time.

    My HP Officejet 6500 E709a All-in-One will not print more than one copy at a time.  This is especially disconcerting at Christmas time when you're trying to get Christmas letters in the mail!  Any help?

    The cyan portion of the printhead may be clogged.  I would suggest running the diagnostics shown here.  If three levels of cleaning of the printheads does not resolve the issue you may need a new printhead.

  • Windows 8.1 driver for HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One

    I am trying to install the printer driver for Windows 8.1. The printer is a HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One. However, when it gets to installing the software it errors out. So I tried just downloading the driver without all the bells and whisles and it comes back telling me it cannot find "mp-110021-2/AIO_CDA_FSW_Full_Win_WW_140_408-4.exe" bur with the URl in front of it. I have done a search and have check the ftp site given in this forum and nothing has proven to be available any longer. Does anyone know where I can get this driver from? Thanks

    Hi , I see that you are experiencing issues installing the printer software. I would be happy to help you.
    Perform a clean boot on the computer and turn off the Antivirus Software. How to perform a clean boot in Windows. Then run the HP Printer Install Wizard, to see if that will help to install the software.HP Printer Install Wizard. How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless) If you appreciate my efforts, please click the 'Thumbs up' button below. Thank You.

  • My HP 5610V all-in-one is no longer recognized by any pc as a working equipment.

    My HP Officejet 5610v All-in-One is no longer recognized by any of my pc's.  When I plug it in to another pc it says that the device is not recognized or malfunctioning.  All the local or off line functions of the printer, such as copy and fax is working just fine, but it is no longer recognized by the pc as a printer or any functioning device.  I change the printer cable already and setup the printer to the original factory settings but no change.

    I have XP Pro in one of my laptops and Vista on the other.  I really don't think this is a PC or operating system issue because both pc's used to recognize this printer but now both of them say that it is a malfunctioning equipment that is connected to the usb input and it is not recognized at all by the pc as to what type of equipment it is and they recognize other printers immediately.  
    Thanks for trying to help anyways.

  • Officejet 7310xi All in One Printer no longer connects wirelessly

    Hello all,
    My Officejet 7310xi All in One Printer no longer connects wirelessly.
    The printer does no show up while searching for it wirelessly where it had previously.
    In the past it would say that the printer (HP Series 7300) was offline.  I would remove the device through the control panel and search again.  A printer would be found as HP Series 7300 (Copy 1) . A "ghost" of the original would remain as an offline device.  I would default to the new printer icon, Copy 1, and it would work.  This happened over the course of a year without any problems.
    Now nothing is working.  The printer can't be found by my network.  I tried downloading drivers, etc. from HP but they either can't download or stop during installation. I don't know if an Windows 8.1 update affected it.
    Although the printer has a built in  network set up option, it has no installation wizard.  I can't find a way to activate the wireless feature/icon.  There is no I.P. address either.
    I feel like a monkey pulling levers for a banana!  I appreciate your help.

    Hey @Kathlanta ,
    Thank you for taking the time out of your day to ask that question on the HP Forums today!
    I understand you are having issues with your HP Officejet 7310xi connecting and staying on your network. Going through all of this is making you feel much like this;
    By the end of this I want you feeling more like this;
    Now let's get to the bottom of this and have some fun doing it! (and no, I have not completely adopted the idea that you are a monkey, but for the time being, seems most fitting LOL )
    Ok, so what we are going to start with here is; a full print system uninstall and reinstall and run it through USB to test the printers functionality.
    Here is how you uninstall the whole printer software on 8.1 >> Uninstalling The Printer
    Here is how you install the drivers offline (use the appropriate links to get your steps) >> Installing HP Printer Software for a USB Connection in Windows 8
    You wont need to worry about the wireless right yet until we figure out if the rpinter hardware is ok or not. So sit tight on that portion, I'll get that all back and working later after we figure this stuff out now.
    Look forward to hearing back from you! Have a good one!

  • New iMac, new HP all-in-one - will they be compatible?

    I am new to Macs, and loaded Leopard as soon as I got it. Immediately after, I loaded the software for my brand new HP C4280 all-in-one. All seems fine except the scanner - I get a message indicating that the USB is not connected, or a message that no Image Capture device is found.
    Can anyone advise me?
    Thanks, Kepp

    Welcome to the Mac platform. I have a HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One running under Leopard and the TWAIN driver doesn't seem to work with other applications. For example, when scanning in Photoshop or Image Capture it will either not recognise the scanner or crash the application when it does.
    Firstly, you need to make sure that you are using the latest software from HP. I think version 9.1 is the latest for your C4280 printer. If you haven't got the latest, uninstall all the (HP) software and install v9.1.
    Secondly, don't use Apple's Image Capture, just use HP's Scan Pro which works well under Leopard.
    I hope this helps.
