C6280 HP Solution Center will not run or install

I have been using my C6280 on my home network for years with Solution Center intalled on a desktop running Vista andtwo laptops running Windows 7 with only the print drivers installed. HP Update was eanbled on the desktop.
In the past two or three months, I started to get a number of error messages on my desktop indicating there was something wrong with Solution Center. The issue steadily worsened to the point where Solution Center would not run at all (unable to detect device seemed to be the most recurrent message) and I was unable to run the scanner.
I was able to maintain printer fnctionality by deleting and then adding the printer through Windows, although I seemed to be forced to do this every few days.
I went on the forum and decided the best course of action to restore full functionality was to uninstall all HP software and then download/install the software suite. I downloaded the Vista 32 bit version  (100_228_PS_AIO_02_Full_Net_enu_NB.exe) andI tried installation several times with no luck - the installation always seemed to get stuck immediately after extracting files.
I went back on the forum and found out how to do a level 4 uninstall from a temp folder beginning with 7z... . I did that and tried again (after checking that my Adobe Flash was up to date).  The install went a little further this time but eventually stopped again. File not found.  I ran the installation .exe from the temp file and went a little further but stopped again. An error log was created and a 'fix' was placed on my desk top. I followed the instructions but the 'fix' did nothing (it was just a text file - nothing to run that I could decypher). Just to make sure I was doing it right, I repeated the entire uninstall/download/reinstall process two more times with the same result. 
The above process was beginning to remind me of Einstein's defiition of insanity (do ing the same thing over and over and expecting different resuts) so I gave up and successfully downloaded and installed the printer drivers to restore print functionality.
How do I get my scan functionality back?
Thanks

  • Solution center will not recognize J4680 in wifi

    My J4680 will print a document in wifi so I know my computer and printer are communicating.  I have reinstalled the software and I am still able to print.  However, when I open HP Solution center to check ink level or scan an item it will not recognize the wifi printer.  It will recognize it as if I have the USB connected.  This defeats the purpose of having wifi options if I cannot communicate with the printer except to print.  I cannot even run diagnositics like cleaning printer heads etc because HP Solution center will not communicate via wifi.  Solutions?

    That link is not working for me at the moment either @judomax , perhaps if you wait it out for a few hours or a day it will be back up and running. It is possible there are changes being made to the page. It would be nice it if said "under construction" or something of that sort, but in the meantime I guess we sit and wait.
    I will keep you posted if the link is no longer valid and the Print and Scan Doctor link changes. I will keep an eye on it.

  • HP Photosmart Premium all-in-one C310a printer, Solution Center will not stay installed.

    It seems lately, past month or so, that the HP Solution Center keeps failing and needs to be reinstalled.  I get a message which says:" HP Solution Center cannot run because your device installation is not complete." followed by a list of steps to take to remedy the situation, which do not work.  I have to uninstall and reinstall the printer and then it will work, but after I shut the computer down for the day or run a virus scan (PC Matic) the problem returns.  Can anybody help me? 

    Hi @oboe1827,
    Welcome to the HP Forums! 
    I see that your HP Solution Center will not stay installed for your HP Photosmart Premium c310a printer. I am happy to help you resolve this issue!
    For further assistance, I will need some more information:
    If you are using a Windows or Mac Operating System, and the version number. To find the exact version, visit this link. Whatsmyos.
    If the printer is connected, Wireless, or USB.
    If the printer is able to make copies.
    If you are using Windows, please try the HP Print and Scan Doctor, and let me know what happens!

    Windows 8.1 will not run my install CD for Photoshop 5.0. What can I do ?

    i'm not sure your expectations are realistic.  ps 5 was designed for win95.
    you can't fault adobe for failing to design ps 5 so it would be compatibile with an os that wasn't in existance when ps 5 was released. 
    to be sure, adobe did not  warrant their software would work with all future operating systems.  and no other software company can or does make such a claim.

  • WSUS 3.0 SP2 will not run after installing update 2720211

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2720211
    The update was installed and server rebooted.  Now the WSUS console on Server 2008 SP2 will not run.  "Error: Connection Error.  An error occurred trying to connect to WSUS server."
    The update service and IIS are both running.
    When checking for updates from clients, they  show a message saying their update software needs to be upgraded, but they fail updating.
    I was going to uninstall the update, but there is no option to uninstall the update from the WSUS server.
    What are options to fix this?

    This page helped alot. Let me recap for others on the interwebs.
    Cause:
    - Applied KB2720211 to a WSUS 3.0 SP2 server thats running on Windows 2008 64 bit server with local SQL db.
    What happened:
    - I could no longer sync my WSUS server with the interwebs.
    - clients could still connect to WSUS and I could still open the WSUS console.
    - Uninstalled WSUS, left DB and downloads and reinstalled WSUS in attempt to fix broken syncing.
    - Clients could now no longer sync with WSUS server. (They got Windows Update error code 800B0001).
    Solution:
    - Googled, found this page.
    - Followed just these last few steps that Chucker2 posted.
    Extract necessary files from 2720211 installer
    Download the KB2720211 installer for your architecture from Microsoft (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2720211)
    Extract WUSSetup.msp from the installer by running the installer with the /extract parameter (example: "WSUS-KB2720211-x64.exe /extract")
    With 7-zip, open WUSSetup.msp and extract "PCW_CAB_SUS".
    With 7-zip, open "PCW_CAB_SUS" and extract "DbCert", "DbCertDll", and "DbCertSql".
    Rename those files to "WSUSSignDb.cer", "WSUSSignDb.dll", and "WSUSSignDb.sql", respectively.
    On your WSUS server, navigate to "C:\Windows\SYSMSI\SSEE\MSSQL.2005\MSSQL\SchemaSig" and copy the extracted "WSUSSignDb.cer" and "WSUSSignDb.dll" to it. Make a backup copy of the two existing versions, just in case.
    On your WSUS server, navigate to "C:\Program Files\Update Services\Database" and copy the extracted "WSUSSignDb.sql" to it. Make a backup copy of any existing versions of the file.
    Reinstalled 2720211
    PROBLEM FIXED AND CLIENTS COULD ALL SYNCH AGAIN.
    Thanks Chucker 2.
    ps. Susan Bradley stop polluting every WSUS post on the interwebs with your constant links to WSUS KB2720211 : Common issues
    encountered and how to fix them
    this is the best solution. after reboot the problem is solved .

  • HP solution center will not recognize my printer

    I have a all in one 7410. I have an HP laptop with vista and another with windows 7. I have uninstalled reinstalled and updated all the software, patches etc. I took off the firewall. I cannot get either of these computers to work anymore to scan. I can print, i can copy, i just cannot scan. Every time I open solution center on either computer it says either no HP device detected (which it is installed) or rest of software never installed, which it is !!! I downloaded the latest utility and it says the same thing. HELP! I need to scan college recommendations for my daughter and this thing isnt working on any of my computers, forget my windows 8 computer!

    RegCure has caused this problem with my PCs.  I have restored what RegCure removed and all is well.  I am working to determine just what RegCure removed which caused the proboblem.

  • Adobe Flash Player will not run since installing Firefox 25.0 upgrade

    Windows 7 Home Premium X64.
    My question says it all. Within Firefox's own system it says the flash player is update and enabled. Any place I go today and want to play something the page posts "Get Adobe Flash Player". I upgraded to Firefox 25.0 just before I retired for the night. Today Flash Player will not work.
    Within Tools>Options>Content the option to turn java off and on is no longer there. I believe you folks have CREATED A BIG BUG!!!!!

    Your statement: "I missed that Firefox 25 turned on "click to play" as the default behavior for plugins. I assume you prefer to have Flash run automatically if you've approved the site in NoScript."
    I didn't read anything anywhere, nor was I aware of the fact that Firefox may have changed "my" plugin settings, or broken them. How many users do you think there might be that have NoScript set this way for one or more sites.
    I'm just saying it might have been nice to have been forewarned about this - obviously something that was KNOWN that the update was going to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • ITunes installs but will not run post install in SERVER 2003

    I have MS Server 2003 as my OS. I haven't used iTunes in a long time because I never got it to work on my computer. I downloaded anapod explorer and that has worked well for me, but I really would like to try iTunes again as I have several friends that tell me how wonderful it is.
    Anyways, I install iTunes and it goes through the initial setup procedure, then will not actually show up. I see iTunes.exe in my task manager for about 10 seconds then it disappears. No error message, no nothing. I've tried new versions, old versions, standalone quicktime, deleting "ipod/apple" anything out of the registry. I've force-disabled DEP.
    I'm a well seasoned windows user, not so much mac stuff, but I've been messing with this for 3+ hours now, and can't seem to get it to run.
    Suggestions are appreciated, thanks.

    I don't think your OS is on the list of supported operating systems, but still.
    Does your Quicktime work? iTunes can't work without it and the fault seemed to relate to a Quicktime file.
    Sometimes installing the stand alone QUicktime works.
    First completely remove Quicktime using the method here: it is not for your OS but I expect you can adjust.
    XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Vista
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    When you come to the system32 folder you can remove any file with Quicktime in the name.
    There can also be problems with incompatible codec packs. If you have any of the following:
    ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar, (possibly starcodec pack, 3ivx)
    Uninstall them before installing the stand alone QUicktime.
    Download the version of Quicktime that does not include iTunes from here:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
    Note that it is not the default option.

  • I-Pod Touch 8GB Will not Run User-Installed Applications

    Now, this isn't really a question as I have solved it myself but I am simply curious as to the cause (and probably to help others who may have had the same issue as I didn't see this type of question floating around already)
    I got an I-Pod Touch Brand-new from the box two days ago, was running perfectly fine with the few applications I had installed on it. Just today I ran "PDF Viewer Lite" from the App Store, did as it should but however a couple of minutes later any other applications (including PDF Viewer Lite) would not run. I confirmed they were running in the background -- applications like ICQ or AIM were still displaying notifications to messages but would not display themselves when clicked as they would simply show their main screen for less than a second and boot me back to the main menu. Hard resets did not work (HOME button at bottom + power button on top being held), and even a restoration from backup had failed. Before I restored the I-Pod to its factory settings, I reinstalled the offending program, PDF Viewer Lite and automagically, it, along with everything else, decided to work as they should.
    So my real question is, what could have caused it? I've used PDF Viewer Lite just yesterday and it didn't lock up all of my applications on my I-Pod. I'd like to know what caused it so I can avoid it in the future -- as I'm not always connected to a WiFi network to reinstall that application.

    The same thing happened to my daughter on her Mac the other day. It turned out that the program she'd downloaded wasn't compatible with her OS. Did you make sure you'd downloaded a version that is compatible with Tiger?

  • Unable to update, deleted and reinstalled Itunes and my Pioneer DVR 218-L will not run. Install corrupted driver. Have tried to delete and reinstall 3 times 11.1.64 and not working?

    I recently attempted to " update " iTunes and received the missing .dll and Windows error message it seems everyone is posting. I had to delete  not only Itunes, but the Apple update and other associated file in order to get my Pioneer DVD DVR 218-L to work. The driver would not work and Microsoft had no fix for this. It told my registry was corrupt. Apple should certainly fix this problem. Now I cannot run iTunes at all unless I do not want a functioning DVD drive?

    I am having the same issue with Vista 64 bit: After many failed download attempts ("network error") the Progress Bar briefly appears and that's it.
    Searched for solution that led me to running "Microsoft FixIt", deinstalling iTunes, Apple Software Update, Mobile Dev Support, Bonjour, and Application Support - even manually deleting common files that were left over (tough with Vista). No difference. FYI, I was able to get rid of the Apple folder in Program Files (x86)/Common File, but not in Program Files/Common Files ... but that shouldn't make a difference as I am installing iTunes64Setup.exe, right?
    I even tried iTunes 10.7 and 10.6.3 from Apple's support page ... same differnce.
    Had a lot of security updates on 1/22/14 (all related to Office 2007 (including SP3), though). So I tried to restore past this point, but an "unknown error" occurred and I am stuck where I am ... lovely.
    So now my system is chopped and I seem to not be able to get iTunes even close to my computer ... :-(
    Just Irritatedtech said: Any suggestions are highly welcome ... - Thx.

  • Premiere Elements 12 will not run after install

    Long time Premire and Premiere Elements user.  Had been using PE 9 earlier this week.  Yesterday purchased PE 12.  Before even downloading, to avoid any potential conflicts, I uninstalled PE 9, then installed PE12.  After reboot, I attempted to launch the application.  it fails.

    Thanks for letting us know of the outcome of your contact with Adobe.
    I do not work for Adobe nor am I affliated with it in any way. Just a user in a user to user forum.
    In my troubleshooting of various Premiere Elements has have not yet run into a connection between the  dvamarshal.dll and the computer's video card/graphics card. But, video card/graphics card compatibility issues can cause the type of problems that you see in the program.
    What video card/graphics card does your computer use? Under Device Manager/Display Adapters/, do you see only one card listed or two? Assuming that the card(s) are up to date, then please try the following. We are going to delete the BadDrivers.txt file for Premiere Elements 12. In Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, it can be found
    Local Disk C
    Program Data
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    and in the Premiere Elements Folder is the BadDrivers.txt file that you delete. In this Premiere Elements Folder are folders besides this BadDrivers.txt file. You do not want anything in the folders in the Premiere Elements Folder, only the file named BadDrivers.txt file. (When you open a new project, the program will generate a new BadDrivers.txt file and hopefully all will be resolved.) Be sure to be working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited.
    The rationale behind the above approach is explained in the following older thread (post 10). BadDrivers.txt deletion has proven to be a life saver for those with display issues in 9 as well as later versions.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/732067
    About reverting to Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1....
    We can get tryout files for 9 from the following web site, and you can insert your purchased serial number in them....
    http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-9-premiere-elements-9-direct-download-links.h tml
    You have to read the instructions very carefully so that you do not get hit with an Access Denied message.
    But, we need to get your purchased serial number. If you registered Premiere Elements 9 with Adobe, you should be able to see it at http://www.adobe.com under "My Products".
    Please review and consider the above and then we can decide what troubleshooting strategy needs to be developed.
    Thanks.

  • Successfully downloaded a program, but will not run once installed.

    I am not as Mac savvy as I should be so I apologize if my computer terminology is not up to snuff.
    I have never had problems downloading programs, installing them, and running them in the past. The last successful program was Amazon MP3 Downloader. Today I attempted to download Plex. It downloaded successfully. I dragged the icon to my applications folder. When I went to click on the icon for the program to run, it appeared in the dock for a second (did not bounce at all) then disappeared. I tried the process a few more times and yielded the same results. I also tried to download a few other programs just to make sure it was not Plex in particular, and the same thing occurred. Any suggestions?

    The same thing happened to my daughter on her Mac the other day. It turned out that the program she'd downloaded wasn't compatible with her OS. Did you make sure you'd downloaded a version that is compatible with Tiger?
