HP 6480 all in one setup help

I just purchased the last floor model at an office supply store. Came with no box or installation instructions. My system is an HP Pavilion a335w with Vista OS. ATT wireless router(so Im told and payed for) 2 WIRE GATEWAY 2701HG-B. Store personnel stated VISTA would automatically recognize the all in one and the only thing I would have to do is plug it in. Any helpful suggestions?

You must be talking about the HP Officejet J6480, right?
Are you planning to connect the printer with USB or run it wirelessly?
First, download the driver from here. Also download the firmware upgrade and the two critical updates. We'll want to install them in chronilogial order. Here's what I would do if I was going to install the printer on my wireless network and I had a AT&T 2WIRE wireless-router:
Download the driver and the two critical updates.
Unplug the telephone line from the 2WIRE router and power-cycle the router.
Run the setup program from the driver and install the printer.
Run the critical update dated 3-2009.
Run the critical update dated 4-2009.
Finally, reconnect the telephone line to the 2WIRE router.

HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2645 All-In-One : Need Help

Newly bought HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2645 All-In-One printer and couldnt dial any numbers to fax a document. After restart the printer, it shows error code: 0XC4EB11C9. Tried to restart many times but still cannot fix it. Anyone can help to solve this matter?

Welcome to the forums amylicious21
I saw your post about the error code you are seeing on your Deskjet Ink Advantage 2645. This code is an Ink System Failure code.
Please check out this guide, try the step and if that does not help, call HP to inquire about a replacement unit.

Welcome to the forums connieavaughn,
I noticed your post about the issues you are having printing from your PC. I understand you are able to successfully scan and print a test page. This shows us that the printer functionality is fine. It seems as though you're running Windows 8 or 8.1, if that is not correct, please let me know.
Please run the HP Print and Scan Doctor first and if the tool does not help the issue, please respond to me with some more information.
1. Print from Notepad and let me know if that was successful or not.
2. If you notice that you cannot print from one specific program or web browser (IE, Firefox, Chrome), please try printing from another web browser and also let me know which browser seems to have the problem.
3. Provide me the results from running the Print and Scan Dr.
Thank you, enjoy your Monday

C7280 all in one software help

Hi, My computer stared saying "Scanner not found" when I tried to scan things. I have tried multiple things, including restoring the print/fax info from a previous TimeMachine backup. the scanner will scan to a thumbdrive. The latest thing I tried was to remove/add the printer to my computer, as insteructed on an HP help site. However, when I tried to add the printer, I get a message saying "software is not currently available for this printer". I do not even remember if i got a CD with the printer, and if I did I cannot find the **bleep** thing (I have looked all over). HELP!! Now I can't even print on the thing.... Cohdey

Officejet pro 8500 premier all-in-one

good morning from a frustrated user of a new 8500. a few days ago we junked our other all-in-one and bought the new one ref above. this init is equipped for wireless operation like our otherone was by using an hp print server. we are using a netgear range max dual band wireless-n usb adapter on our computer. when we insered the install disc and went through all of the directions several times the computer would not recognize the 8500. the store then told me to hook the printer direct with usb cables and after doing that and rerunning the disc the printer worked fine. however when i removed the cables and reran the cd for wireless it would not operater the all-in-one.
please help and thanks to evryone in advance.

Have you run the Wireless Setup Wizard to connect the printer to your router? If not, then do this first. Touch Setup(the Wrench symbol on the display)>Network Settings>Wireless Setup Wizard. This will let you choose your router and enter any security key. Then the printer should connect to your network.
Now unplug the USB cable and run the install CD again. Either select Add A Device or Install from the autorun menu. This time, the software should find the printer on the network and install it.

HP 3540 e-all-in-one series. Missed a step during setup. Please help!

Hi,
I've just set up my HP 3540 e-all-in-one series, however I think I've missed a crucial step and I'm worried I've messed everything up. I printed the alignment page and on it, it says to scan the alignment page for best print quality. I somehow bypassed this step and I'm at a loss as to what to do now. Will it affect the printer or quality in any way?
Please help!!

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @panda411
If there are any "alignment" issues you're noticing when you use your Deskjet Ink Advantage 3540, you can run the alignment manually to see if that corrects the issue.
If there is no issue, I wouldn't suggest doing anything differently. What comes to mind is the saying "if it's not broken, don't fix it"!
If you feel you need to align the printer, try this:

If there is anything else I can help with, just let me know!

HP 7140 xi (All in one) network printer not installing properly? Help?

I have the 7140 setup with a fixed ip address on the network. When I install the HP drivers the setup process hangs. Every time you restart the setup program runs again. Either abort the program or try to setup and watch it hang.
I had the same thing happen with my older G5 after a OS upgrade and had to do a driver reinstall. It would do exactly the same thing. The difference was the install software on the G5 was not the latest from HP's web rather the CD supplied with the printer. This time on the MacBook I am using the latest drivers from the web. Now on my MacBook how do I even get it to print when you cannot set it up? Could HP have an issue having two printers? I have the Laser 2300 dtn working fine also with a fixed ip address (different of course).
Anyone else having the same issues or has solved it yet?
MacBook Intel Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2gig RAM and 120gig HDD

I found the following information on HP's web site.
The address is http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bpm35033&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en& product=91463&rule=36617&lang=en
When I applied the instructions it deleted my HP2300dtn printing but fixed the HP 7140xi (All in one) and got it working great. I will now go back and get te 2300dtn working.
Hope this helps others.

I have a hp deskjet 3050 all-in-one printer how can i setup for wireless printing my os is windows7.

how do i setup my hp deskjet 3050 all-in-one printer for wireless printing my operating system is windows7

Unplug the USB cable. Now go to Start > All Programs > Hewlett-Packard > Deskjet 3050 > Add a Device. Run the program and choose Wireless as the installation type.
Follow the directions. It will ask you to connect a USB cable temporarily. Do not connect until it asks and remove it when it tells you.
Finally, when you are done, go to Control Panel > Devices & Printers and delete the USB instance of the printer so you don't get confused when printing.

Print a WIreless Network Test from the front of the printer. It will self-test the printer's radio.
Can you give me the exact model number of your router? If it is a 802.11b router, it may be time for a new one. If it is, are you sure you are using WPA and not WEP?

I understand, while you may have knowledge with PCs you don't have the diagnostic tools available to you to professionaly diagnose a Mac. Apple does not make those tools available for the general public, they are only available to Apple and AASPs. To install the OS on the machine you need to locate the original 10.5.x install disc that shipped with the machine and insert it into the SuperDrive. Below are Apples instructions for setting up the machine:
Turn on the computer.

Click the Erase tab.
Click Erase... Important: This step will completely erase your hard drive. If you have installed Microsoft Windows using Boot Camp, or have multiple partitions, this procedure will erase the partition you select.
A dialog box appears asking if you want to erase the partition: click Erase.
After the partition is erased, choose Quit Disk Utility from the Disk Utility menu.
Part Two: Installing the operating system
When the Mac OS X Snow Leopard Installer screen appears, click Continue.

Help me spend 20k on VDI/Virtualization/all-in-one Cluster. What would you do?

I want to buy hardware for VDI, virtualization and general cloud-services. (hardware will be colocated.) I need some help/advice on my current setup; I already have a (semi-succesfull) IT company, I have a customer base, advertising, cashflow, connections,
etc. Fort starters I will be using one colo location, the DC's in my country are one of the most reliable in the world. And so is the infrastructure. My DC is one of the bigger ones, and I will either go with a private rack or with 2 seperate ones shared with
my clients. (So I will be the only one placing hardware). There are no natural disasters or things like that, and DC's going down is extremely rare, and only happens to with startups/smaller shops. The 20.000$ is purely for hardware. I already decided to go
with the Windows Server/Hyper-V platform, because of the new technologies that make "decent" low-budget setups possible. I cannot afford a SAN so I will need to use a different storage solution that utilizes the server2012r2 capabilities. I might
have been a little unrealistic regarding my requirements, and they are more of goals anyway. Let my try again; My main goal will be virtualization and delivering VDI. (zero-clients) Second to that I would like to be able to deliver some cloud-services (backup,
hosting, sharing, remote-desktop, etc.) to eventually offer a all-in-one package. I understand that with my budget I will not be able to do immediately be able to offer all these things at maximum performance and reliability. However, I should be able to lay
a solid foundation for future investments, and probably even be able to offer VDI at a small scale? Some things to take into account before sharing your advice; These services will not be offered publicly. I will start with my current customerbase and work
up from there. Most of my customers have minimum storage requirements. So I'm okay with making concessions on the amount of storage I can offer, as long as i can easily add more storage in the future. Most clients have very small bandwidth (8-60mb download)
that's why I want to build my architecture around the zero-client model. That way I can at-least offer everyone of my clients my services. The downside of this is of course that i am very dependent on latency, which is why I think local SSD's (combined with
HDD's) could be my answer. I am aware about the SSD lifespan, but I will be choosing only the drives that have proven to sustain some heavy-duty punishment. (Check THIS out, Hardcore SSD edurance test, 600TB so far, and not one has failed, not even TLC based).
If each of the consumer grade SSD's in that test can sustain over halve a petabyte of non-stop writes without breaking a sweat, (except for the TLC maybe) and probably make it to a petabyte without dying, they will serve my cause just fine. Now I've made some
decisions so far; The E3 does not offer enough ram for future expansion, so I will be going for E5 platform. Since DP MB's are not that much more expensive then the single ones, I will probably go with dual socket. Very flexible in terms of expansion, and
not that more expensive compared to single socket. Now the big question for me at this point is; a Can i use the DP e5 nodes for storage as well, by adding local storage in every node, and use clustering for redundancy and sharing? What are the con's versus
dedicated storage servers? Would it be better to use separate nodes just for storage? if so, why? This would cost me allot more money, and the all-in-one option would be allot more efficient. If i'm going the all-in-one route, I will be probably be going with
10gb/e aswell, and put each node in at least a 2u form-factor for more drives, expansion possibilities, and ease of management. I am aware that I will have a smaller number of nodes in total, but because each node serves so many purposes i still think this
would be the best route. Especially if you consider that eventually I will need to step up to 10gb/e anyway, and in the future I can always buy more nodes for extra redundancy. And I can start with nodes that are only halve-filled, and work up from there,
and if one of the nodes does go down, I could temporarily move the CPU, RAM, etc. to the remaining nodes to give them some more power until i fix the problem with the node that has failed. So, that is my plan as of now, feel free to criticize me on anything
you would do different. If something in my setup is impossible, or impractical, please say so, and tell me what would be a better alternative. Many thanks for the responses so far, Regards, Cloudbuilder

Hi ,
It is hard for me to answer this .
I am not family with storage , but I think shared storage is needed if you want to build a high availability cluster .

Setup can't detect network printer Photosmart C7250 all in one

I volunteer for our local historical society. The person who did a lot of the computer maintenance work is not active at this time so I’ve begun to look at things.
There is a Gateway PC running Windows 7 64 bit home premium, a Sony Vio laptop running Vista 32 bit home premium, an HP Laser printer and (of most importance here) an HP Photosmart C7250 All in one printer.
Internet connectivity is via a dsl line with a combination modem/router. I think the modem/router is a Westell or an Actiontec through Frontier Communications (formerly Verizon in this area) but I’m not sure and I’m not at the museum now.
A couple of weeks ago I was able to connect the laptop to the network via wifi. My next step is to connect the laptop wirelessly to the printer so we can print wirelessly over the network. The printer was originally set up through a usb connection so I changed it to a wired Ethernet connection. The PC now successfully prints to the printer over the network. I downloaded the software and drivers directly to the laptop from the HP site and began the installation. When it got to the point of finding the network printer the software couldn’t detect it. I then put in the ip address for the printer (from the network info printed out from the printer) and it still couldn’t find it.
This same situation occurred when I tried to set it up on my personal laptop (Win7 , 64 bit) as well. Setup couldn’t detect the network printer, even after searching for the network ip address.
Since the printer is connected to the network (router) via an Ethernet cable, I don’t have the wifi radio turned on in the printer. This shouldn’t make any difference.
I’ve searched the forums and haven’t seen anything that is like my issue.
I don’t what else to do. Hopefully someone will give me some advice on what to do next.

Download and run this utility: http://h20180.www2.hp.com/apps/Nav?h_pagetype=s-926&h_lang=en&h_client=s-h-e17-1&h_keyword=dg-NDU&ju...
What does it say?
If the network has Wireless Isolation turned on it will prevent wired devices from seeing wireless devices. Do you have access to the router?

Help with Epson and HP All-In-One Drivers

I've been looking through the forums for a day and not really finding what I'm looking for, so I decided to post...
Running an AE-N for a Macbook, a Powermac, and a Powerbook.
I've got two printers...an Epson R200 photo printer and an HP PSC 1410 All-In-One printer/scanner. I'm not worried about the scanning so much as the actual printing, both wirelessly and wired. I have no problem adding the printers...they pop up effortlessly in the printer setup through bonjour. But once I actually try to print to them, they endlessly search for the printer ("Looking for printer Epson R200"). Didn't think this would be a problem because they were found so easily by the AE.
I've read all the iFelix stuff posted and granted, I haven't tried the GIMP method just yet, but the R200 at least should be printing right out of the box, correct?
The printers are plugged into a USB hub and I've got an external HD plugged in as well...no problems with it. Any help would be appreciated...

This is working. I had the same problem with Yosemite and found Hp drivers were not working properly.
No need to delete the HP folder in library- printers because there wasn't any directory.
