Hp Photosmart C6180: endless installation loop

Hi, I've seen that many people had a similar problem but I don't have found any solution.
On a Windows XP32 desktop pc I had to reinstall a HP 6180 network printer.
The original software/driver CD enter in a endless loop; firstly ask to check internet for update, after a while reboot, and after reboot start again from the beginning asking to check for update, reboot ... and so on ...
I've tried to uninstall all software and reinstall but still the same.
I've tried to follow instruction to clean all drivers using "L...something.bat" and download full software/driver (more than 500mb) but result is still the same, endeless loop.
I've tried to add printer manually and select "driver disk" ... the printer now works, but it's impossible install the software and also the scanner device is missing.
Any suggestion about how to exit from this loop ?
Thanks
Marco

Photosmart c6180 driver disapears after restarting Windows 7

Problem is: Photosmart c6180 driver disapears after restarting Windows 7
Operating System is: Windows 7
Connection is Wireless
Printer is Photosmart c6180
Driver is for Windows
7 and has been downloaded multiple several times from the HP Website
HP Support was not help: they could not even get the printer to work even when it was wired USB since they refused to remove the driver first. I have old computers and use USB Hubs so it puts a strain on the resources to hook up to much on the USB Ports evern with the extra power they have.
I have removed the driver and reinstalled it at least 2-3 times a month since January. The computer sees and installs the printer and it works fine as long as I do not shut down the computer. However whenever there are any updates for windows the computer needs to be restarted and then the printer won't work anymore.
I tryed this today which I found on the internet and it did not work either.
Click on another printer or the Microsoft XPS Document Writer
Click on Printer server properties in the top menu
Choose Drivers in the Installed printer drivers select the printer that was uninstalled in step 3.
Click on Remove and when asked choose Remove driver and driver package and click on ok.
Install the Windows 7 software for the printer.
Does anyone have anything else I can try. I reinstall the printer driver again for the second time today and it allways works just fine if I just never had to restart the computer it would work fine.

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?

Follow-up to HP Photosmart C6180 Scan Problem

I posted the below a few days ago and since then have spoken with a few people who have experienced the same difficulty. We came to the conclusion this problem began after a recent driver update from Apple (sorry we can't remember exactly which one-about a month or so ago we think). Again any comments/suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks!
Until recently I have been able to scan wirelessly to my iMac G5 using my HP Photosmart C6180 which is equipped with a wireless card. (wireless network being run on Belkin router) However, about 3 weeks ago, every time I try to scan I get an error message saving the scanner cannot be initialized. If I desire to scan, I must connect directly using USB cable and initiate scan from the HP. Any assistance/suggestions will be most welcomed.

I have been working on this for months and tripped over the solution today - it works on all models * OS's and is network related.
Fix as follows:
1. Open HP Device manager program
2. Select maintain printer form info & settings drop down - this open printer utility
3. Click open embedded web server
4. Select Networking tab - from connections menu select wireless
5. Click advanced button
6. Go to bottom of page and check ALL "compatibility" check boxes
I just scanned a 50 page document and so did a friend with same problem with a new all-in-one and windows XP pro - same problem - same fix.

HP Photosmart C6180 won't scan

Please could someone talk me thru how to add scanning software to my Mac? I am new to Mac.
This printer works great with the pre-installed drivers that came with the Mac. But I can't scan at all.
I think there is a new driver which I can get from Hp website. Presumably it covers printing and scanning. Do I have to uninstall the pre-existing driver for this printer from the Mac first? If so how do I do this? Where is the uninstaller?
Has anyone out there actually been through this process for this printer and operating system? And did it actually work OK?
Thanks very much for all help and advice you can give. I just don't want to mess up the Mac or the beautiful printing I am currently getting, only to end up with nothing working properly - or even at all!

Hi. I just got a new iMac and I am new to Macs. I have the HP Photosmart C6180 printer too. Previously I had a Dell Pc and everything worked fine. I downloaded the software for the MAc from hp and installed. Printing works great. However, I tried to scan last night and it wouldn't work. HP Scan Pro gives the error that the scanner could not be initialized. I then opened the HP Device Manager and opened the Network Settings Utility. I picked "scan" from the left side of the Home page and then "Preview". My picture was displayed but again the scan feature wouldn't work. I also tried scanning from the printer console to the computer. It said it was scanning in the console window, but nothing happened. I can still scan FINE to my kids PCs in my house.
PLEASE help. So far I have been impressed with Macs but this is the first major problem I have had. I only had my Mac for a few weeks.
Thanks!!

Tried the # 6 button hold unplugg and replug routine.nothing same results.
dismantled the side to unplug the logic board and remove cmos battery and let it set for an hour. reinstalled noting that none of the capacitors looked bulged anywhere on the board.
Plugged power supply in lights up at connector, plug into printer ,no lights after a few seconds the printer goes into self test and sits there no display ,no lights on. Tried to print diagnostics, printed everything but magenta band of color , software shows no problems.
aside from taking the printer apart and using boiling hot water to clean the magenta print head circuit, what happened to the display? what can i do now with out spending more thanthan this is worth? i have some technical skills so time is not a problem.

Hi Gary,
Unfortunately, it sounds like the hardware has failed. I can't recommend any other solutions that you haven't already tried. The next step would be to service or replace your printer.
Service:
Determine if your product is in warranty or out of warranty. If you need help determining your product’s warranty status, go to HP’s Warranty Check Tool .
If your product is in warranty , contact HP support.
If your product is out of warranty , click here to view additional printer support options starting as low as $20.

Consider taking advantage of HP's Trade-In program: http://www.hp.com/united-states/tradein/home_flash.html

How to install additional drivers for a shared photosmart c6180?

Hi, i am running windows 7 x64 and i have shared a photosmart c6180 on the pc. I need to add additional 32bit drivers so that pc's that run xp 32 bit can print to the shared printer (i cannot connect these other pc's directly to the printer via network). any way, under the sharing tab in printer properties, i can click on 'additional drivers' and choose x86, but then it asks for a driver location. what location do i specify? i've already tried c:\windows and c:\windows\system32, but it does not pick up any drivers at those locations. i've also downloaded all of the latest drivers from the hp site, but when i run the executable and specify their extracted locations, for example, c:\users\user1\appdata\temp\7Z139A\, it does not see any drivers there either.
any help is greatly appreciated!
thanks!

You wont be able to use exiting Win XP drivers on windows 7. You need to get new drivers for Windows 7, and install them as per your convenience, ie manually or automate it via script GP

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\,sourcepath.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 on wireless network does not respond when attempting to print

Photosmart C6180 successfully installed on wireless network does not respond when attempting to print. All in one is successfully installed on wireless network and SW successfully installed on Windows XP computer yet printer does not print. Get no error message other than document failed to print. HELP!

So gald I'm not the only one. I have been fighting this crappy HP printer for MONTHS also. Everything says a OK goody goody but printer fails to print every two to three weeks.

Photosmart c6180 behaving strangely

My Photosmart c6180 (on a Dell Precision M4400 laptop, 2.53ghz, 18 months old, Windows XP sp3/quad core/4.0 GB memory/68% HD available/ZoneAlarm firewall and antivirus, I run virus/spyware scans frequently using ZA and Advanced System Optimizer/disk defragmented 24/7 using Diskeeper) will only print full document content in "fast draft" mode, and fast draft is about one fourth the speed it used to be. In other print modes (automatic, fast normal, normal, best) it will, for example, print the outlines of forms (when printing from a .pdf document or from QickBooks) but no text within the form. In automatic, normal, fast normal, best, It will not print text at all from Word or WordPerfect, onlyl prints text when in fast draft mode. It will not print text copied and pasted to Notepad, again, except in fast draft mode and even that is also very slow.
The HP diagnostics "Test Page" colors print fine (I have consumed half a cartridge of each color printing test pages), but there is no text (not sure if that page even has text). The HP "Diagnostic Page" prints the header text and the big color boxes fine, and the outline of the form, again consuming lots of ink, but the text within the document is a very light blue, so light it is unreadable though it is there. On one of the test pages it prints the Windows logo in the upper left, but nothing else.
When trying to print text documents the printer sounds like and acts like it is printing. The printer head moves over the page and the paper moves, slowly, through the printer but the paper has no print when it comes out. The printer has also become extremely slow when attempting to print in anything other than fast draft and that is even much slower than it once was.
I have already done the following:
     1) changed the USB cable, and then changed the USB port. Nothing changed.
     2) uninstalled all HP software and drivers and reinstalled all new. Took four attemptes and 18 hours, but once finally   up and running......no change.
     3) I have gone through the Windows printer troubleshooting Q&A, no help.
Would very much appreciate your help, I have exhausted the limits of my trouble shooting skills.

So gald I'm not the only one. I have been fighting this crappy HP printer for MONTHS also. Everything says a OK goody goody but printer fails to print every two to three weeks.

Photosmart C6180 Twain not working in Win 7

I have tried updating drivers, not sure if they "took". Uploading "all" software always fails (via print/scan doctor). Where can I download Twain, etc.?

Hi @wa7dxq,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I noticed that your software always fail when using the HP Print and Scan Doctor, with your HP Photosmart c6180, running Windows 7. I am happy to help with this scanning issue!
For further assistance, I will need to know some more information:
If the printer is connected, Wireless, Ethernet, or USB.
If the printer is able to make copies.
If the power cable is plugged into a surge protector, or directly to the wall outlet. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
In the meantime, I would suggest to try the following:
Uninstall the software. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Re-install using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Hope this helps and hope to hear from you soon!

Photosmart C6180 lockups

I've had my Photosmart C6180 for about 19 months or so. It's on a wireless network, and used by both Windows XP Pro and Linux machines. It operated with no problems until last Friday, when it started locking up a few minutes after turning the printer on. When it locks up, it won't respond to print jobs, nor will it respond to push buttons on the printer control panel. The display freezes, and you can't even power it off with the power button. The only way to get it to shut down is to yank the power cord out the back. It locks up even if you don't send a print job to it. Occasionally it stays up long enough to sneak a print job through, but communications seem spotty. Network diagnostic printouts typically show the wireless radio as failing the self-test, and the connectivity report shows the radio hardware as in a "bad state."
I've tried the NVRAM reset with no effect. Is it toast? Is it repairable? Is it worth reparing?
TIA

Hi,
Try the steps in the link bellow and see if it resolve the issue :
Step one: Remove and reattach the faceplate
Remove the control panel faceplate from the printer.
NOTE:A hollow on the upper left corner of the faceplate helps removal.
Make sure that the buttons move correctly and are not still held down.
Align the control panel faceplate over the buttons on the top of the printer, and then snap it firmly into place.Figure 1: Align control panel faceplate
Illustration of aligning the control panel faceplate over the buttons
NOTE:Make sure the bottom of the control panel faceplate snaps into place.
Figure 2: Control panel faceplate in place
Illustration of the control panel faceplate correctly installed
Make sure that the control panel faceplate does not hold down any of the buttons.
NOTE:If the control panel faceplate holds a button down, press the button so that it comes through the opening on the control panel faceplate.

Universal Binary Driver for Photosmart C6180

Is there a Universal Binary Driver for the Photosmart C6180?
I'm trying to use Presto Page Manager, a Paperport-like application for OS X, and it isn't recognizing the scanner. Their tech support (or what passes for it) is telling me I have to use a Universal Binary Driver.

Since the printer works on a different computer, it sounds like the issue is strictly software based.
It sounds like a complete reinstall of the software for the printer needs to be done. Ensure that the software is uninstalled from the Vista system.
If the fatal error appears again, try using the A 'Fatal Error' (MSI error) Displays on the Computer During HP Software Installation in Windows document from HP for assistance with the fatal error.

HP Photosmart C6180 printer. Says the magenta ink cartridge is empty when it is new.

I own a HP Photosmart C6180 printer. It sat for several months so I replaced all of the ink cartridges. It will not print because it says the magenta ink cartridge is empty. It is brand new and i can see the ink inside of it. I am not sure what to do. I don't want to take it to get serviced as I live several hours from any computer or printer repair shop. Please help!

Hi pbeck39
What are the ink levels like on a self test page - are they good? Are you using Win XP x64 by any chance?
Thanks
