Cannot get HP C8180 to print from Windows XP

It prints fine in Lepoard, but cannot even set it up in Windows when I boot from mac using bootcamp.
I tried wired/wireless and it will not install any drivers.
Is this a bootcamp issue?
Thanks
Frank

Well, the only way I got this to work was using usb and plugging it into my airport express and then use bonjour. The network option did not work or wireless.
I ended up returning the C8180 and getting a MP970.

  • Cannot print from Windows XP in Boot Camp

    I rarely boot into Windows using Boot Camp. Usually will use Windows as a VM with VMware Fusion.
    Now I am unable to print when in Windows/Boot Camp!
    Yes, I can print just fine in Mac & in Windows as a VM.
    My Boot Camp installation of WinXP is the same one I use as a VM.
    I wonder if I changed some printer setting long ago & forgot. I am fairly certain I used to be able to print from Windows/Boot Camp.
    From: Windows XP/Control Panel/Printers & Faxes/My printer/properties/Ports
    The last port/box in the list is checked, “TPVM: ThinPrint Print Port for VM”
    I thought this may be incorrect for when I am in Windows using Boot Camp so tried changing it to LPT1 & then LPT2 & LPT3 & no real help. However, when using
    TPVM: ThinPrint Print Port for VM, When I attempt to print, nothing happens & no print job appears in the print queue. (See what’s printing) If I change the port to LPT1,2 or 3, than the job DOES appear & under status says “error.”
    I think I need to change some setting when I boot into Windows via Boot Camp vs. Start Windows as a VM.
    What is the problem?
    Thanks!

    Thanks but, no help.
    I did set up printer sharing. Even though I only have one computer I still share the printer between the Mac & WIndows on the Mac in both VM & BC.
    On Mac: System Preferences/Print & Fax, I do have the box checked “Share this printer on the network.”   Under Sharing Preferences I have checked; Printer sharing, Scanner sharing & file sharing. Users: Everyone Can Print.
    If I remember correctly, b4 I had set up printer sharing, I was unable to print from Windows as VM. It would send the print job over to the Mac side & would not print. Then I used to go into the sys tray on Windows & change something re the printer (I forget what) but essentially telling Windows to use this printer or activate it. Then when finished -- If I forget to undo that change, it would not print on the Mac side. Setting the printer to share fixed that so, I can easily print Mac or Windows VM.  Again, I very rarely boot into Windows/BC but I would like to be able to print when I do.
    It may be similar to use of the optical drive for DVDs/CDs. If I am in Windows/VM The Drive doesn't work until I go into some menu (Virtual Machine?) & enable the drive & then I must disable it to get it back working for Mac.
    I am going to try DVD & CD sharing & see if that fixes it so I can use the drive in both Mac & Windows VM w/o having to bother to change settings back & forth, Then I will see if doing that somehow breaks the DVD/CD drive for Windows/BC.
    Maybe I need to uncheck printer sharing in order for the printer to once again work on Windows/BC?
    Or maybe since I enabled printer sharing, I must somehow tell my Mac or tell Windows that all 3 can share; Mac, Windows/VM & Windows BC?  I’m sure if I had 3 different computers I would need to somehow tell the system which computers are authorized to use my Network printer. Maybe since Windows BC is never online/running at the same time as the Mac, it was not recognized?

  • Cannot print from Windows Live photo gallery

    I cannot print from Windows Live Photo Gallery.   The printer is connected and has a signal.

    This printer is an HP Photosmart Touchscreen.  I have since resolved the problem by uninstalling, and reinstalling the printer.  Not sure what the problem was, but it is now working.  Thank you for your help.

  • I am trying to get my D1560 to print from my laptop.

    I was trying to get my D1560 to print from my laptop. On advice from the HP website, I uninstalled the printer, and downloaded the latest driver software. But when I extract the file (either the downloaded file or from the CD), nothing happens. The file extraction reaches 100%, then nothing. No error messages, no directions on what to do next, not even a kiss goodbye.
    How can I get the printer installed, and then print from a networked computer that is not directly attached to the print device? 
    I've taken two steps back. At least before, Windows (7, 64-bit, by the way) would recognize the printer, even though I couldn't print to the D1560.
    The print device is attached to my HP Slimline desktop. Does the Slimline have to be awake in order to print from my laptop?
    Also, I downloaded the HPPDU software, (before I uninstalled the printer) but since it can't find the printer, it can't solve the problem. That IS the problem - the computer can't find the printer.

  • Can't print from Windows Explorer

    After installing the "HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-All-in-One Printer - N911a", on a Windows 7 64-bit PC, that is Ethernet connected, I get the following error message:
    Script Error
    An error has occurred in the script on this page.
    Line: 2061
    Char: 1
    Error: Invalid procedure call or argument
    Code: 0
    URL: res://ieframe.dll/preview.js
    When I try to print from Windows Explorer; however, I can print from other applications such as Word and Quicken OK, and I can print from Explorer OK from a Windows XP PC. Anyone have any suggestions?

    The issue is caused when Windows creates the printer profile in the control panel that it doesn't correctly create it with the drivers.
    We're not going to completely uninstall all the HP software, instead we're going to remove the corrupt Windows printer profile and reinstall it.  Total time for this on an average computer is about 5-10 minutes to completely repair (including reboot).
    1) Navigate to Start Menu > Devices and Printers or Start Menu > Control Panel > Printers
    2) Select each printer profile for the printer with an issue, then select remove device/printer.
    3) Reboot
    4) Navigate to Start Menu > All Programs > HP > insert model # here > Add Printer (or Setup Wizard)
    5) Follow the setup prompts to reinstall the printer profile and it recreates the Windows printer.
    6) Test by printing google.com (uses very little ink when the test page comes out).
    Let me know if you have any questions or issues.
    Thanks,
    Dan

    solved follow the steps from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CU … er_sharing
    then go to localhost:631 and share the printer,
    next go to the w7 machine and browse in the navigator archLinuxMachineIP:631 and copy the URL for the printer in printers tabs,
    then add on w7 this url and select the driver.
    you have to add a address reservation in your router to the machine with the printer,

    I am also getting exactly the same problem, highlighting multiple pdf files right clicking and choosing "print" prints the first document, fails to close the adobe x window and sits there patiently untill it's manualy closed and then the next document prints  - repeat - loop.
    Have this happening on just about every windows xp machine in the office that I try it on and any and all versions of "Adobe X" that I care to install.
    would love a fix for this, reinstalling 9 manually on every PC would waste a day of my life.

    CANNOT PRINTING FROM WINDOWS 7 TO MY PHOTOSMART c7180 ALL-IN-ONE (I CAN SEE MESSAGES IN QUEUE)?

    Hi,
    I think you need to remove the queue. Please try:
        hold down the Windows key and press R.
        from the Run window, type services.msc and hit enter.
        if the machine asks for Admin you have to accept this,
        look down to the print spooler service, right click it and select properties
        click on the Stop button,
        browse to C:\Windows\System32\Spool\printers
        delete the job inside this folder
        reboot the machine

    My sister's 5s is having the same issue since yesterday.
    Neither resetting via holding home+power buttons helped, nor the "reset all settings" in the settings. The only option left is erasing the iPhone and setting it up as a new phone ( or restoring from a backup?)

  • I cannot get my ipad to print using my wi if printer. It works with my computer

    Is your printer listed on this page as supporting AirPrint : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356 ?
    If it doesn't support AirPrint then you could see if the printer manufacturer has their own app in the store which supports it (e.g. Epson have an iPrint app, and HP have an ePrint app). If not then there are third-party printer apps such as Print n Share and PrintCentral Pro which might work with it

  • Is it possible to print from Windows 8.1 to a printer connected to the USB port on an Airport Express?

    Is it possible to print from Windows 8.1 to a printer connected to the USB port on an Airport Express?
    a) HP printer with USB port only (no ethernet port) connected to Airport Express
    b) No issue printing from Macs
    Tests
    1) Installed Bonjour 2 - does not find printer (now uninstalled)
    2) Bonjour 3 is listed in programs but no way to access
    3) Using TCPIP address (and no Bonjour) gives 'Unsupported Personality' error when printing test page
    Regards
    Richard
    p.s. why are all Windows 8.1 questios n the forum 'Locked' with no reply?

    This is possible, but not with Bonjour or any other fixes.  It is just a printer set up based on the Port name of the Airport, 10.0.1.1.
    I found the answer on YouTube, Title: Windows Printing For Apple AirPort Extreme without Bonjour Wireless wifi.

  • IPhone 3 I cannot get my pictures to download from iPhoto.  I keep getting the error message required file cannot be found.

    I cannot get my pictures to download from my iPhoto from an albumto the iPhone 3 (one of the kids phones). I was able to download an Event.  I have changed the name.  I have used my iPhone 4 and the pictures from the album downloaded just fine. I have looked at the message board and I have deleted the cache and done all the things that were suggested.  WHAT IS THE DEAL!! I have been working on my phone and the kids phones for about five hours now and super frustrated!!! 

    I used Terminal to change the permissions on the folder in question.  I followed the instructions in this article:
    iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization
    In my case, the folder was there, so I needed the command to change permissions on the folder, not to create one.   I was hesitant to use Terminal b/c I know that if I made an error I could wipe out my hard drive or render my computer unusable.  So to be SURE I didn't make an error, I carefully copied the command from that page and *pasted* it into Terminal.  Also, before I could do anything in Terminal, I had to go change my admin password (it had been a blank password before and that's not acceptable for making changes in Terminal).  I was just super careful when entering my password or doing anything else while Terminal was open (making sure I didn't accidently hit the spacebar or another key, etc.)  And it fixed the problem right away.
    What was confusing for me was that the iTunes error message said to change permissions in the FINDER, which is what I was trying to do.  It didn't mention Terminal.  What would really be helpful is if Apple included a link to a page like this in their error message.

  • Can't print from Windows XP

    I'm a new Mac user with a MacBook Pro, and found I needed to run Windows for a couple of applications so installed Parallels. All applications run fine, except printing from Windows. Have a Canon Pixma MP480 printer at home, and an HP Deskjet at the office. Both print fine from Mac, but no luck from Windows at all. I've tried to troubleshoot the configuration in Parallels, and everything seems set up correctly as far as I can tell (I'm not very tech oriented, though). I have the feeling that there is something very basic that I have missed. Anyone have thoughts on what it might be?

    Please post Parallels related questions on the Parallels forums as Apple discussions only provide support for Apple products:

  • Can't print from Windows to Mac

    I've always had trouble printing to a printer attached to my Mac from Windows. Bonjour used to see the printer, but I could only occasionally actually print. For a while everything but PDFs worked, then even text stopped. As a last resort I tried the "reset printing system" option in System Preferences and then re-added the printer, but now Bonjour doesn't see it at all. I can browse to it via SMB at \\macname\printername, but all I can do is print a test page as Administrator. Regular print jobs and non-admin test pages just disappear - not in the queue on either client or server. Setting it up as an IPP printer instead didn't help.
    I'm at the end of my rope here, and any troubleshooting tips are welcome. I'm an IT guy, so technical details are very welcome: TCP ports to check for listeners on, services to look for, registry settings on the Windows end, anything.
    Details:
    Server:
    Mac OS X 10.6.2
    HP Photosmart D7560 printer connected via USB using HP Photosmart driver
    Clients:
    Windows XP, Windows Vista (32-bit), Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit)
    All on the same LAN (wireless), no trouble with TCP/IP connectivity (can ssh into the Mac from the Windows boxes, etc). Both Windows Firewall and UAC are turned off on the Vista/7 boxes, guest access is enabled on the Mac in Sharing preferences...
    Any help welcome.
    Thanks!

    I followed the instructions at http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3012.html and am having the same issue. Whether setting up manually or using Bonjour, it seems that you have to select an Apple Driver. The problem is that the Windows 7 does not provide Apple drivers. Luckily, I have an old XP installation CD so I can access the printer drivers I need, but because I already installed the printer drivers from my printers CD Windows will automatically install with that driver, not giving me the "have disk" option.
    So I tried to install with Bonjour again, which allowed me to pull up the drivers from teh XP installation disk, but then gave me an error that I didn't have permissions to install the selected printer.
    So I deleted the Canon driver for my printer from Windows 7 and went through the process described at http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3012.html again. This time I was able to select the Apple Color Laserwriter printer from the XP installation CD, but I got an error message saying that Windows was unable to find an appropriate driver.
    At this point, after a couple hours trying to do a simple file share, which should only take 30 seconds, I'm giving up being able to print to a printer connected to a mac from my Windows 7 laptop. Now I have to open files on the mac from the network file share to print.
    Mixed having both Macs and Windows machines on the same network is a recipe for a headache.
