Hp c3180 all in one prints some thins fine but others print and look like programmer language

HP C3180 All in One running on Windows XP
Some pages print fine, but others from different job websites print out what looks like Config Sys language.  For example:  <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 FRAMESET//EN">  and this goes on for 1/4 of a page.  How do I correct it?

Hard Reset – While printer is powered ON, pull the power cord from the printer then from the wall. After 30 seconds reconnect power to wall and printer. This will trigger a ‘dirty power up’ and restore the printer to a known good condition (if it is possible). No user settings are lost with a ‘hard reset’.
This ‘Hard Reset’ is one of the most powerful tools to use when the printer hardware is not functioning properly!
IF NOT RESOLVED, uninstall hp software & reinstall using latest hp software from hp website.

  • HP Photosmart C3180 All-in-One printer -- SCANNER not working.

    I have had this HP Photosmart C3180 All-in-One printer for a couple years and all is well. HOWEVER, the one function not working properly is SCANNING. I can print fine and copy fine. But when I go to scan something my power button flashes for about 10 seconds and then stops. Nothing happens, and nothing scans. HP said it was not the printer itself, but something to do with my operating system through Apple. I have the current 10.5.6 version of Leopard.
    If I can get any help from others I'd appreciate it!

    HP provided this link to software which resolved my scanning issue.

    I have a C4240 All-in-One printer and am getting an error message on the display panel "carriage Jam".  I have not given this printer any kind of abuse.  I do leave it turned on but hardly ever print to it.  I have replace the cartridges probably twice since i have owned it.  Can you help me out  as to what I should do with the printer

    Can't really help with your Internet issues, but I can put you on the path to leaning more about Macs.
    If you're a former Windows user, there many resources on Apple's web site to get yourself familiar with how Macs and OS X work.
    Here ard a few areas to spend time with

    http://support.apple.com/videos/
    http://www.apple.com/support/lion/
    http://www.apple.com/support/osx/
    For the video tutorials, in the video search box, just type in OS X. You'll get a list of OS X video tutorials to watch  as you learn to use your iMac.
    Start with the Anatomy of a Mac video first, Then the Finder Basics video second. After you have watched and put to use these two videos, you can watch any other OS X video you want in any order.
    Here is a free eBook download of David Pogue's OS X Snow Leopard The Missing Manual here. While OS X 10.7 LIon and OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion work a bit differently than OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, there are many things that still apply.

  • HP 3210 All-in-One Printer and Vista

    Having trouble with HP 3210 All-in-One Printer/Scanner.  Purchased printer late 2006.  Upgraded to Vista in February 2008.  All functions of the Printer/Scanner have been working just fine with Vista until this month.  Error message says 'Unable to Scan or Copy'.  Scanned from computer on 12/01/2008 and a week later the error message appeared.  Print function from the computer works fine.  Buttons on front of the printer for both scan and copy will not work and scanning from the computer will not work.  Have tried suggestions from different websites to work-around using a program like Microsoft's Paint but still nothing.  Any suggestions will be welcomed.

    Resizing and cropping are not the same process.
    Image>resize>image size brings up a dialog where you can resize, and if the image is resampled, distortion may ensue.
    The crop tool is said, by some, to resample as well, although in many instances minor distortion is not noticed by the uninitiated..
    The preferred way (for me) to crop is Image>crop.
    If you have a 4x6" picture of a tree, landscape mode, and wish to display the tree in portrait mode, the sure way to avoid the issue is to select the tree with one of the selection tools, then copy/paste it on a canvas which is sized 4x6" portrait mode.

  • HT2693 Kodak All-in-One printer and Airprint?

    Can a Kodak All-in-One printer run with Airprint?  Is there a device that adds Airprint and Airplay to devices that do not have that feature?

    Kodak does not appear in the list of Compatible Air Print Manufactuers in the following link:
    AirPrint Basics.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    With that said, there are several alternatives both software and hardware based to give non Airprint compatible printers the ability to be used by iPads, iPhones and other iDevices.
    If you are running a Mac Pc you can look into Printopia
    http://www.ecamm.com/mac/printopia/
    If you are more interested in a hardware solution look into Air Print servers such as:

  • I have a hp7250 all in one printer and it just stopped printing hp printer says radio not working

    i have a hp 7250 all in one printer it just stopped printing my compute says its offline but when i go to pinter and try set up it says cannoct connect then review says raido not working

    If that reset did not resolve the issue, and the printout indicates that the wireless radio is not working then there are a few options that we can go through. 
    First, make sure that through the Setup Menu that the wireless has been enabled and turned on. If these options are not available, you may have to try a differnet reset that I will PM to you. 
    Also, if the wireless radio is not functional then you might consider connecting the printer directly to the router using an Ethernet cord and reinstalling the printer on your computer using that method of communication. 
    Let me know! Happy holiday!

  • HP psc 1210 all-in-one printer and Mac OS 10.9 (Mavericks)

    I just installed the new OS X (Mavericks) on my mac yesterday, and now my printer, an old but reliable HP psc 1210 all-in-one, will not install.  I was previously running OS 10.6 (Snow Leopord) and had no problems with the printer.  Is there anything I can do to install my printer on the new OS?  My computer doesn't even recognize that there is a printer connected via USB when I try to install it... is there anything I can do?

  • I have a canon pixma mx360 all in one printer and it won't print

    my printer won't print I just replaced the ink. I tried to trouble shoot the printer, and it said that I had a printer error in the que.
    I cleared the que and it still won't print. can you please help me figure this out? my printer is a pixma canon mx360 all in one
    ink jet.

    Hi wendasa,
    If you have any antivirus or firewall programs on your computer, please temporarily disable them and then try to scan again.  Sometimes these programs can block the scanning process of the printer.  If you are still unable to scan, we can try scanning using the Microsoft Paint program to see if the scanner function of the printer is working.  To attempt to scan using Microsoft Paint, please follow these steps:
    1.  Launch Windows Paint by pressing the Windows Key+ R, then typing mspaint, then clicking OK.
    2.  Once inside of Paint, in the upper left corner you will see a blue square; please click on that and select FROM SCANNER OR CAMERA.  A window will appear asking you what device you want to use.  Please select the PIXMA MX360, then press the OK button.
    3.  In the next window, you should have the option of selecting a document type; please select one, then press the SCAN button in the window.
    Are you able to scan using Microsoft Paint?
    If this is a time-sensitive matter, additional support options are available at Contact Us.

  • I just purchased the envy 7640 all in one printer and need to enlarge the print

    I just purchased the all in one envy 7640 printer and want to print from my lap top but the printing that comes out is very very small and i need to enlarge it, I am not a real computer whiz so I just need step by step instructions on how to enlarge the copy being printed.  Thank You in advance for your help.

    Hey , Welcome to the HP forums! I hope you enjoy your stay here. I see that you are trying to enlarge the size of a document you are trying to print. While the specific directions will change depending on your operating system, the program you are using, and the type of document you want to print, I can certainly make sure you get pointed in the right direction. Assuming you are trying to print a text document (and please let me know if you are not) then first you will want to highlight the text you are trying to change the text of. Once highlighted you are looking for an option found at the top of most windows. The option usually has a font name to its left such as Times New Roman. When you select a larger font size it will change the highlighted text so that it matches the size you selected. I've included an image of the option below.  If you are trying to print something that is not a text document then please let me know what program you are trying to print from as well as what operating system you are using. If you are not sure what your operating system is you can click here to find it. If you have any other questions please let me know. Also, if this resolves your issues then please let other forum users know by clicking on Accept as Solution below my post. I hope this helps and I hope you have a great evening!  

  • HP B201a All in One Printer and iPad Issue

    Okay.  I bought a HP 210a air print printer.  It was working great with my Linksys router and my iPad and iPhone worked with it perfectly.  Since that time I have recently bought a new new 2TB Time Capsule and just recently set it up.  The old router is no longer hooked up.  Since switching over to the new router, nothing prints from the iPhone or iPad.  So here are the details and I am hoping I am just missing a step:
    1.  I think it is important to point this part out.  After setting up the new router, and before discovering any of this, I turned on the HP printer.  Upon doing so, the printer informed me a software update was available from HP so I downloaded it and it appeared everything was fine.
    2.  After the update, I tried printing and nothing.  Duh, the printer was still looking for the old router.  I ran the built in HP wireless setup wizard on the printer and it pointed to the new router fine.  I tested the connection using the test feature on the printer, and it printed a report that all was fine and that it was now pointed at the Time Capsule, great signal, etc...
    3.  I went to my iPhone and iPad, made sure they were pointed at the same network as the printer, and once again the printer appeared on each device as an AirPrint printer.  Great I thought, so printed a  test a page from each device.  Both pages printed.  Now here is where it gets weird.
    4.  I tried to print a second document from the iPad and iPhone, nothing.  I tried a picture.  Nothing.  It still shows eveything setup correctly, the HP shows as the AirPrint printer and connected, but no matter what I do, it nothing is printing from either device.  I've tried resetting my network settings on the iPhone and iPad and pointing to the network again, re-running the HP setup Wizard on the printer.  They all show that everything is fine.  The iPhone and iPad connect to the network fine, both show the printer when I go to print.  However, after I hit the "print" button on either device, it shows like the document is being sent but NOTHING happens on the HP.  It is very frustrating. 
    The WiFi is working fine, I can surf, email, etc... so the router is working properly.  So what am I missing?  Could the HP update somehow have caused the problem?  I have to believe that between the update and the new router that somewhere I am missing a step.  Any help is greatly appreciated.
