C6180 All-In-One

I have wanted to post my opinion about this hardware which I now view as a piece of junk. Over the past twelve months, I have experienced:
1. Paper jams that do not exist
2. Maintenance that requires an insertion of a blank piece of paper and when you do, it prints a blank and asks for another. It just keeps doing that so select the right arrow to cancel and then select OK.
3. The SADF almost always selects more than one page being faxed, copy, or scanned.
4. Despite many ways to insert a blank envelope for printing N&A, it jams and often eats my envelope or says there is no paper.
It did not start out this way but began to have these problems about six months after purchase. Yes, I have re-installed the software (still get a message during Shut Down) and have spoken to HP people  but probably should do more.
Please do not take me wrong. I am a great fan of HP printers and have been for a dozen years but this one is the worst I have ever owned.

Hi @AdrianDavid4,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! I see you would like to know how to remove the scanner glass on your HP Photosmart C6180, you are running into some quality issues and there are large marks in the corners.
After checking out your User Guide on page 70, the only care and maintenance options available are cleaning the exterior and glass of the PS C6180.
Now I was able to find this document which you may find helpful, however if you are not comfortable with taking apart the product please do not continue:

I hope this helps!

  • Blasted printer problems - HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One

    Bought a spanking new HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One and installed the drivers. When running the HP Setup Assistant it had a blank list to select from.
    I came across this tip from macosxhints.com
    "If your system drive was set up with a case-sensitive HFS file system, HP's All-in-One installer will fail when it gets to the HP Setup Assistant -- it will ask you to "Select Device" and give you an empty list. To get the installer to work, you have to install it on a case-insensitive file system. I've confirmed this with version 7.9.1 of the PhotoSmart C6100 series and version 7.9 of the Officejet 7310 series drivers.
    The solution? The only one I've found is to re-format and install on a file system that is not case sensitive. After hearing back from HP's tech support, they confirmed the problem and the solution:
    Thank you for contacting HP Total Care.
    The software for the Photosmart C6180 is not supported on a case sensitive partition. You will have to install the drivers on a case-insensitive partition.
    I only wish they had mentioned that anywhere in the online troubleshooting section. Sigh." http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070623004646642
    Can someone point me in the direction of:

  • Problem installing Photosmart C6180 All-In-One software

    I've "googled" and found several similar installation issues but none quite match mine.   When I attempt to install the All-In-One software, I receive a dialog box error "The system cannot find the file specified."   The file that it is attempting to find is found in the Dialog window heading:
    c:\users\Myusername\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS52C3\,sourcepath.setup\blocksys...
    Using %temp% I am able to verify that the 7zS52C3 folder structure exists.  However the ",sourcepath.setup" folder shown above is incorrect.  it should be just "setup".  
    I've ran this install several times under  different accounts, including creating a new admin account.
    I've cleared all temp files, removed tsr files using msconfig as described and cannot seem to solve this issue.  I even renamed the setup folder to ",sourcepath.setup" to see if this would solve the install but it failed on another file.
    I am running Windows Professional x64,  My HP Photosmart c6180 is connected to the network and I am able to print properly to it from my computer.  I need the software primarily for "scanning to computer" functionality.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Hello @DirkPittP,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I understand that when installing your HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One Printer on your Windows 7 64 bit computer, you are encountering a 'c:\users\Myusername\AppData\Local\Temp\7zS52C3\,so​urcepath.setup\blocksysinstall.exe The system cannot find the file specified' error. I would like to assist you with this issue today.
    Now in your original post, I can see that you have already attempted installing the printer on administrator accounts, clearing the temp files, running an msconfig, and renaming the folder to no avail. At this time I would like you run the following steps to see if we can get this working for you.
    Step 1: Uninstall Drivers:
    First, I would like you to clean up your system of any software or drivers for your HP Photosmart that may have made their way onto your system during the failed installs. Rather than running the 'normal' uninstall process, I would like you to click here to download the Microsoft Uninstaller Tool.
    Once the website opens, please select the Run now button on the right hand side. Please follow through any recommended fix steps provided. When prompted, choose that you need assistance with 'uninstalling'. You will be brought to a list of populated programs from your computer. Scroll through this list until you see your HP Photosmart. Select your HP Photosmart and allow it to uninstall.
    This Microsoft Tool will also check your computer for any registry corruptions. Should any system corruptions be found, this Microsoft Tool will fix those corruptions for you.
    Once the uninstall has completed, please close the Microsoft Tool and proceed to the next step.
    Step 2: Clear the Temp Files:
    Click on your Start menu
    In the 'search programs and files' box type %temp% and hit enter
    In the Temp folder select Ctrl + A at the same time on your keyboard to highlight everything
    Select the 'delete' button on your keyboard. If you get a pop up to skip an item, just skip it.
    Once the Temp folder is emptied, close the window
    Right click on your Recycling Bin and select Empty Recycling Bin
    Step 3: Download Drivers:
    Please click here to download the latest drivers for your printer.
    Once the website opens select the Download button on the top left
    Allow the download to Run
    Once the download has completed the installer will automatically extract
    After the extraction if you get the error again for 'blocksysuserinstall.exe' take note of the temp folder 7z . . .  number sequence it refers to this time around.
    Step 4: Rename Temp 7z Installer package:
    Click on your Start menu
    In the 'search programs and files' box type %temp% and hit enter
    In the Temp folder locate the 7z . . . folder that shows in there
    Right click on the 7z folder and left click on 'rename'
    Rename the folder to the 7z. . . to the name that the 'blocksysuserinstall.exe' points to
    NOTE:  Ensure that you are logged into the same User Account that the error points to: "c:\users\Myusername\AppData . . . " when you make the change to the 7z folder. There shouldn't be any  'sourcepath.setup' folders at all.
    Step 5: Install Printer:
    Once the 7z folder is renamed to the name the error wants than click on the 7z folder to open it
    Scroll down to the bottom of the installer files
    Double click on the setup.exe file at the bottom. It may show an HP logo to the left of it
    An installer window should pop open
    Follow through the with the onscreen instructions to reinstall your printer
    Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. I look forward to hearing from you!

  • Photosmart C6180 All-in-One: Replace cartridge message after already having replaced cartridge

    Would appreciate ideas on how to resolve this issue with Photosmart C6180 All-in-one Printer.
    Receiving "Cannot Print, Replace the following empty ink cartridge(s) to resume printing."
    Replaced cartridge with newly purchased cartridge (so not expired) and still receiving same message.
    Thoughts?

    All cartridges (from original to replaced ) were HP ink cartridges.
    No refills.
    No non-HP ink.
    All are now within expiration.
    Issue appeared when yellow cartridge ran out of ink.
    Printed black .
    Went to store ( STAPLES ) and purchased 02 yellow XL plus 02 combo pack . 
    Replaced yellow with 02 yellow XL. 
    It did not recognize new replacement cartridge.
    Replaced yellow with 02 yellow from combo.
    Again did not recognize second new replacement cartridge.
    Per HP, replaced  'expired" cartridges (not yellow).
     No change.
    Did Power on Reset / reseat all cartridges OR reset voodoo.
    Iink levels still 0 but able to print self test  in color and  photo.
    Turned off PC and printer for 2 days.
    Now back to three cartridges at ink level 0 and 2 need to bne replaced.
    Only prints black.
    I tried Power on Reset and repalce cartridges, but same result : Black only : replace empty ink cartridges.
    TY

  • C6180 All In One Printer only prints 1 page per document after Windows 7 64 bit upgrade

    I loaded the software for my Photosmart C6180 all-in-one printer as part of a computer upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7. My printer is networked and everyone else in the house can print to this printer with no problem. However, whenever I try to print a document I only am able to print the last page of a multiple page document. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the driver/software package  multiple times to no avail.
    Any suggestions? Thank you.

  • IPhone 4 print coupons from app Grocery ID directly to my HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One BUT

    iPhone 4 print coupons from app Grocery ID directly to my HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One BUT the iPhone cannot find the wifi printer when I try to print from email or Safari or Contacts, etc.
    Why doesn't HP list this printer in the approved list?  They have the HP Officejet  listed and many photosmart printers as well.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    No, its not that easy.  AirPrint is a "driverless" print environment and must have hardware and firmware support in the printer to be able to print.  Other apps are more of a traditional driver-based print apps and can find and print to the printer on a network without it having to support AirPrint.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Hp c6180 all in one scan problem

    Hp all in one C6180 printer/fax/scanner/copier will not recogonize handwritings so as signatures. The letters and number print as characters ? ~ ! and some caps. I  Appreciiate your help.

    HI there marlenes,
    This is generally going to be a limitation of OCR software in general. Despite how nice our handwriting can be most OCR does not pick it up as expected. However, software changes all the time and there some handwriting recognition software suites out there (depending on what you are looking for). Throw a search into google for "ocr software that recognizes handwriting" and there are a few links out there. Let us know if you find what you are looking for.
    Best of Luck!

  • HP C6180 All in One Not Printing on the Network

    I have 3 wireless laptops and an HP C6180 on a wireless network. This week all 3 computers had issues intermittently trying to print. The print job would go to the que, but then it would just be an error and not print. Now today, none of the laptops have been able to print. I tried to connect to the wireless network with the printer an it did find the wifi sometimes and did not other times. (Oh, and it's not about it being too far away, they were right next to eachother). I actually plugged an ethernet cord into it and it did the same thing. So, I assume there may be an issue with the wireless, but I can't print when is wired with an ethernet cable either. I am completely stumped. Been working on this issue for about 5 hours now, and figured I would just post it here. If anyone has any idea what this could be, please let me know.  Also, 2 computers are Vista, 1 is XP. No changes have been made to any of them lately.

    If you can connect with an Ethernet cable, do so and turn off the wireless function of your printer.  Only have one connection method live at any one time or things will get very confusing.
    OK, once you choose your connection method, it will be best if you can set a static IP address for the printer (outside the DHCP range).
    Need help?  Tell me about your router.
