Cannot do wireless printing to HP Photosmart C7180 since upgrading to Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit

     I recently upgraded one of my new HP p6150t Pavillion PCs from Vista Home Premium 64-bit to Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.  Since then I have not been able to print to my networked printer, an HP Photosmart C7180 All-in-One, which is wireless on my home network. When this PC was Vista, I was able to print. Two other PCs on my home network, both running XP, can access the printer across the network and print.  This PC now running Windows 7 64-bit can find the networked printer when I "Add-a-printer", and I am able to finish the installation of the printer. 
     I downloaded and installed new drivers for the HP C7180 from the HP website specifically for Windows 7 64-bit, so I have the latest drivers. (The version of the drivers is 13.1.0, date is 10-2009. From the same HP printer driver download site, I also installed " HP Print Software Patch When Upgrading Vista to Windows 7".
     I do not want to install the printer as a shared device on any of the other PCs, but rather want to be able to print from any of them, direct wirelessly, even if the other PCs are offline.  And I was able to do this when I used Vista...
     If I open and leave visible the print queue for the printer, and then print a Test Page, I see the print job briefly shown as "Spooling" and then as "Printing" in the print queue display, but nothing ever reachs the printer. There are no error messages, either during the process of Adding the Printer, or when sending Test Pages, or other print jobs to the printer.
     I have McAfee antivirus and Firewall installed on all of my PCs. The Firewall advanced setting for Networks shows that the IP address range for all of my IPs are trusted.
    [Although I just bought this PC from hp.com only 4 months ago, as part of a package of 2 PCs, a MediaSmart server, big hdtv monitor, and all with 4 year extended support agreements, HP provides "NO" support for network printing. That was what a support specialist called to tell me after I sent an email to the HP CEO.  HP PCs, HP printer, HP provided upgrade kit for Windows 7, but if you want to actually print from your HP PC to your HP printer, there is "NO" support.  (I worked for HP for ten years, but it is clearly a different company now.)  So, if anyone in the Community can assist, I would very much appreciate it.]

I have a year old Epson and an HP.. I upgraded to a win 7 64 bit and doing some sharing/networking.. Got some 32 bit XPand two win 7 64 bit..   The Epson ,shares and connects up  with no issues.. the HP is just a fiasco...   No more HP for me ...

  • Unable to scan and communicat​e with scan function C6180 Vista Home Premium 64 bit Printing works

    I have an all in one C6180 Photosmart connected by wireless network (infrastructure). Network consists of 2-laptops, 1-Desktop and the printer.  Everything works from HP solution Center on the Compaq laptop and the Dell desktop both running Windows XP. My newest laptop is a Dell studio XPS core2   2.4ghz running Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit. I am unable to scan from the Dell Laptop using HP Solution Center nor can I scan from the printer buttons to the laptop. Solution Center opens I select "scan document" and immediately get an error message "unable to communicate with scanning device. Likewise with the copy function.  The laptop does recognize the printer though and I am able to print wirelessly.  All functions work when connected via USB so I believe the printer is fine.  I have been working with this problem since I bought the printer in 2007. I spent many hours reading hundreds of internet posts, talking by phone with HP and via e-mail support from HP.  I became frustrated and gave up for awhile but now I want to see if there are any new solutions that I don't know about. I downloaded full feature software and drivers for the 6180 from HP and performed various levels of uninstall (L1, L2, L3, L4). I also cleaned the registry with ccleaner, windows disk cleanup and manual registry deletions when allowed per HP. I have checked port settings, tried stopping HP functions is Services.Msc. The Digital monitor is currently running, however no scanner communication-computer to 6180 and no scanner communication 6180 to computer. I can print and fax from computer wirelessly. I have ran the HP diagnostic utility separately and it appears everything is fine, connection IPaddress etc. During install when prompted to run test it says the printer is connected to the network. I have tried to add a device to the network after install and get the message no wireless devices found. The scanner does not appear under Cameras and Scanners in control panel. Nor will it find the scanner when I try to add device. Firewalls and antivirus have been turned off. Still can't make it work. Suggestions please.

    Sorry about your pain.  L3 uninstall is what I recommend.  Re-install from hp.com and this time, with the printer properly attached it should flow OK.

    Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
    Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
    I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
    Thanks for the advice, Bee

  • I am running IE 11 on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit Service Pack 1. When I attempt to install Flash Player, it goes through all of the steps, tells me the player is installed, and welcomes me. I cannot open the player and it does not appear in the Start M

    I am running IE 11 on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit Service Pack 1. When I attempt to install Flash Player, it goes through all of the steps, tells me the player is installed, and welcomes me. I cannot open the player and it does not appear in the Start Menu, Task Manager, System Tray, or anywhere else. When I try to open a file, the site tells me Flash player is not installed. I have even downloaded it to a separate folder and ran the install with IE shut down completely. And Shockwave in ENABLED but in 32 bit .I have been trying to get this to work for about 3 weeks now.  HELP!!!

    Flash Player is a browser add-on, not an executable program.
    If you need to open a local SWF file you will need the standalone player (Projector) from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
    Note that the download is the player, not an installer, so you will need to make the file association manually.

  • Itunes store does not open, or if it opens I cannot search anything. Win 7 home premium 64 bit.

    Well, this has been going on for about a year.  Itunes store gets 60% loaded and stalls.  The new user acct fix does not work, the admin netsh winsock reset, does not work. Stoping Apple mobile device does not work. Uninstalling Bonjour, Mobile, support, admin, quicktime and Itunes and reinstalling from scratch used to fully work. However now it gets me to the store, mostly fully opening, or opening, but I cannot search anything at all, it times out on the search after a few minutes.  I spend several hundred dollars a year in the Itunes store.  Now if you don't wnat me to do that, I will go elsewhere for purchases.

    For the people who state that it does nothing...
    That's because something's messed up with the icons. It makes it seem like the extension is not there.
    But it's there. The icon it uses is the set of left, right, up, down, etc.

  • Laptop cannot find wireless printer HP 2540

    Trying to connect my Acer laptops to HP Deskjet 2540 All-in-one printer.   Printer is connected to wireless network. 
    My laptops cannot find the printer.  I have tried everything suggested, apart from disabling my firewall  which I am reluctant to do as I do not want to have my laptop so vulnerable.  
    Did not have any problem connecting a Windows 7 laptop to former printer, which was a Lexmark wireless model. 
    One laptop is using Windows 7, the other Windows 8.1, but both have the same problem.  
    I am not very technically astute and also I am quite old, so if anyone can help, please keep it simple.

    Hi mev2911, and welcome to the HP Forums! 
    I understand that you are no longer able to get connected to your HP Deskjet 2540 All-in-One Printer on your wireless network. I suggest that you follow the steps in this document for Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. I suggest that if your computers are not seeing the printer, that you power cycle your network first as this may resolve your issue.
    How to power cycle network
    Follow these steps to reset your HP printer, your wireless router, and your computer.
    1.Press the Power button on the HP printer to turn it off.
    2.Disconnect the power cord from the rear of the HP printer.
    3.Disconnect the power cord from the wireless router.
    4.Turn off the computer.
    5.Wait 30 seconds.
    6.Reconnect the power cord to the wireless router.
    7.Wait 30 seconds, or until the router is fully on and ready.
    8.Turn the computer back on.
    9.Wait for the computer to reload.
    10.Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the HP printer.
    11.Turn the printer back on.
    I hope this information helps, please let me know how it goes.
    Thank you and have a great day!

  • Extremely slow wireless printing with HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m

    I'm seeing extremely slow print speeds when printing wirelessly from a Mac or a Windows XP system to a new HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m printer. The printer begins printing immediately when I request a print, but it only prints one line. It will then take about 15 minutes to print the rest of the page, printing each line after a very long pause. Demo page printing doesn't exhibit this problem, only documents from programs like Word 2008, Safari and Firefox (tried firefox on PC and Mac) are affected.
    If I connect to the printer through a USB connection it prints fine, so this problem appears to be with wireless printing only.
    Printer: HP Photosmart Premium C309g-m
    Computer: Mac mini (Late 2009 model) (also tried a Windows XP laptop as a comparison, using latest drivers from HP's website)
    OS: Mac OS X 10.6.2 with all available updates installed
    Computer connection method: Wired Ethernet connection to wireless router
    Printer drivers: version 2.2.1 (Apple supplied, HP drivers never installed as system shipped with 10.6)
    Wireless router: Apple TimeCapsule (Early 2009) 1TB, running in a/n and b/g modes on 2.4 and 5GHz. TimeCapsule is in bridging mode as the DSL modem handles DHCP service
    Encryption: WPA2 Personal, no MAC filtering or hiding of the SSID.
    IP addressing scheme: All addresses are handed out by DHCP server with no reservations of any kind
    The TimeCapsule is sitting three inches from the printer and the printer indicates full signal. Connection of the printer to the wireless network and setup of the printer on the Mac went without a hitch. Only when printing a test document did we discover the problem. The wireless network is behaving as expected when accessing the Internet from both Mac and Windows devices (tested with a Dell laptop running XP and a MacBook running OS X 10.6.2), so I don't see any overall problems with the wireless network.
    Attempted remedies:
    1. Rebooting and powering off, waiting, powering on computer
    2. Resetting the print subsystem, turning the printer off and on again and reinstalling the printer
    3. Unplugging power from the printer and letting it sit for several minutes before trying to print wirelessly.
    None of these worked.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I don't think there is anything wrong with the DSL modem HW.  There might be an issue with how print data is being routed though.
    Please try the second experiment where you blank-out the default gateway and DNS entries from the printer's internal web configuration page.  Open the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address.  Select Networking and then Wireless (802.11).  Under the IPv4 Configuration tab, select Manual IP:
    For Manual IP Address, use the existing printer IP address.
    For Manual Subnet Mask, use 255.255.255.0
    For Manual Default Gateway, leave blank.  This is important.
    Select Manual DNS Server:
    Leave both the Manual Preferred DNS Server and Manual Alternate DNS Server fields empty.  This is important.
    Press Apply.
    Turn off the DSL modem, the printer and all computers connected to your network.  Wait 60 seconds then turn on the DSL modem and then turn on the printer.  Then turn on the computers.  See if this corrects the printing speed.

  • Slow wireless printing on HP Photosmart C4780

    I am using the following hardware:
    HP Photosmart C4780
    Macbook Pro OS 10.6.7
    iMac OS 10.6.7
    Linksys E2000 router (previously Netgear router)
    When using the C4780 driver the wireless printing from both Mac computers is very slow and often won't finish on large jobs.  This was so frustrating that I went to using a long USB cable to print which worked just great.  I finally got fed up and went from an old Netgear router (802.11 b) to a new Linksys E2000 router.  The problem remained.  
    I read through the forums on this site and found that several people had success by using older HP Photosmart drivers.  I started with the HP P1100 driver and that worked great but color printing was poor quality.  I then read further that people had better luck with the HP Photosmart 2700 series driver.  I have switched both computers to this driver and things seem to work OK.  Printing is normal speed and I may be imagining things but I think the scanner capability hooks up quicker also.
    Someone at HP thought it might be a router problem.  How could that be?  I am on the 2nd router from a different company and fixed the problem by changing the driver only.  
    Here is my question:  
    Does HP have any plans to fix their HP Photosmart C4780 driver to work properly with OS X?  Given that I bought my printer with my Mac from the Apple online store I would think this is a priority but it has been months and no solution has showed up on any of the forums I have found.  Any help would be great.
    Thanks!

    OK, first are you positive that the HP software you loaded on your Mac is compatible with 10.6?  That is a common mistake that has special, non-obvious ways to correct.
    You could try to set a static IP address if the software is not an issue.
    Please advise on the software and we will go from there.

  • Wireless printing for HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One

    Receiving error message when attempting to print via wireless network.  Problem started with installation of a replacement wireless modem & router. Previously had successufully printed through  wireless netwrok for a few years.  I completed the Wireless setup to the new wireless network name and printed the test report which states successful setup of your wreless printer. What are your recommendations for me to successfully printed to the C7280 wirelessly? 

    Hello ,Welcome to the HP Forums I understand you're facing wireless printing issues since connecting a new modem/router. I would suggest running the Print and Scan Doctor. This diagnostic tool will check for any conflicts that could be causing the issue. The tool will show you a report at the end. If there was a problem that the tool could not fix, you will notice it in the results. Please try printing afterwards to see if the tool fixed the issue. If you noticing any errors in the tools results, let me know what they said please! Good luck!If you wish to thank me for my response lending a helping hand, click the  below!
