Hp c6180 all in one scan problem

Hp all in one C6180 printer/fax/scanner/copier will not recogonize handwritings so as signatures. The letters and number print as characters ? ~ ! and some caps. I  Appreciiate your help.

HI there marlenes,
This is generally going to be a limitation of OCR software in general. Despite how nice our handwriting can be most OCR does not pick it up as expected. However, software changes all the time and there some handwriting recognition software suites out there (depending on what you are looking for). Throw a search into google for "ocr software that recognizes handwriting" and there are a few links out there. Let us know if you find what you are looking for.
Best of Luck!

  • HP8600 Officejet all in one -scanning problem with ADF

    Hi there - I have an Officejet 8600 all in one printer-scanner etc.  I love it - it copies no problem - it used to scan both from the Automatic Document Feeder and from  the glass.
    NOW - it prints OK - it scans from the flatbed glass OK - but when you scan a document in from  the document feeder - it scans 4 pages 1inch high then the document.  This is really irritating as it never used to do this and I dont want to have to scan pages one at a time from  the glass.
    Thanks for your help!
    Stella

    Hi @Stella33, and welcome to the HP Forums! I would be happy to help you with your 8600.
    Based on your description, it sounds like the issue is limited to the document feeder. Although the document does pick up paper, the following document will guide you through helpful troubleshooting steps to potentially solve the issue you are experiencing; The Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) Does Not Pick Up Paper.
    I hope this helps.

  • 1315 all in one scan problems

    This printer used to work so well, but now there is no HP director with which to choose "scan" on my desktop or in my "all programs" field.  I've tried to hunt through the troubleshooting section to no avail.  No matter what the troubleshooter tells me to do there is no way I can see to scan, although it used to.
    Thanks, e

    Hi again cybasmith,
    I just had a thought about the scanning issue.  Do you by chance have a firewall or an anti virus protection running?  If so I suggest we disable them and then run the Print and Scan Doctor again.
    As for changing the password on the HP Forums,  If you go to the main page on your profile, you will see on the right hand side "My Community"
    Under My Community, you will see " Welcome cybasmith".
    The next line will say "My Account" .  Click on My Account.
    The next window that comes up will have all of your information.  Edit HP Passport > User ID - Password - Contact information - Security questions.  
    From here you can click on Password and this will take you to another window that will enable you to change your password.
    I hope this is the information you are looking for.
    Thanks again for your time.

  • 3520 All-in-One Scan Problem

    Why is there a black line on the length of my scanned documents about two inches from either side of the document.  This happens only during ADF scanning, but not when scanning on the glass.  Any help will certainly be appreciated.

  • Blasted printer problems - HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One

    Bought a spanking new HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One and installed the drivers. When running the HP Setup Assistant it had a blank list to select from.
    I came across this tip from macosxhints.com
    "If your system drive was set up with a case-sensitive HFS file system, HP's All-in-One installer will fail when it gets to the HP Setup Assistant -- it will ask you to "Select Device" and give you an empty list. To get the installer to work, you have to install it on a case-insensitive file system. I've confirmed this with version 7.9.1 of the PhotoSmart C6100 series and version 7.9 of the Officejet 7310 series drivers.
    The solution? The only one I've found is to re-format and install on a file system that is not case sensitive. After hearing back from HP's tech support, they confirmed the problem and the solution:
    Thank you for contacting HP Total Care.
    The software for the Photosmart C6180 is not supported on a case sensitive partition. You will have to install the drivers on a case-insensitive partition.
    I only wish they had mentioned that anywhere in the online troubleshooting section. Sigh." http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070623004646642
    Can someone point me in the direction of:
    "Setting up a case-insensitive partition"

  • 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\,so​urcepath.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!

  • C6180 All In One Printer only prints 1 page per document after Windows 7 64 bit upgrade

    I loaded the software for my Photosmart C6180 all-in-one printer as part of a computer upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7. My printer is networked and everyone else in the house can print to this printer with no problem. However, whenever I try to print a document I only am able to print the last page of a multiple page document. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the driver/software package  multiple times to no avail.
    Any suggestions? Thank you.

  • Photosmart C6180 All-in-One: Replace cartridge message after already having replaced cartridge

    Would appreciate ideas on how to resolve this issue with Photosmart C6180 All-in-one Printer.
    Receiving "Cannot Print, Replace the following empty ink cartridge(s) to resume printing."
    Replaced cartridge with newly purchased cartridge (so not expired) and still receiving same message.
    Thoughts?

    All cartridges (from original to replaced ) were HP ink cartridges.
    No refills.
    No non-HP ink.
    All are now within expiration.
    Issue appeared when yellow cartridge ran out of ink.
    Printed black .
    Went to store ( STAPLES ) and purchased 02 yellow XL plus 02 combo pack . 
    Replaced yellow with 02 yellow XL. 
    It did not recognize new replacement cartridge.
    Replaced yellow with 02 yellow from combo.
    Again did not recognize second new replacement cartridge.
    Per HP, replaced  'expired" cartridges (not yellow).
     No change.
    Did Power on Reset / reseat all cartridges OR reset voodoo.
    Iink levels still 0 but able to print self test  in color and  photo.
    Turned off PC and printer for 2 days.
    Now back to three cartridges at ink level 0 and 2 need to bne replaced.
    Only prints black.
    I tried Power on Reset and repalce cartridges, but same result : Black only : replace empty ink cartridges.
    TY

  • IPhone 4 print coupons from app Grocery ID directly to my HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One BUT

    iPhone 4 print coupons from app Grocery ID directly to my HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One BUT the iPhone cannot find the wifi printer when I try to print from email or Safari or Contacts, etc.
    Why doesn't HP list this printer in the approved list?  They have the HP Officejet  listed and many photosmart printers as well.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    No, its not that easy.  AirPrint is a "driverless" print environment and must have hardware and firmware support in the printer to be able to print.  Other apps are more of a traditional driver-based print apps and can find and print to the printer on a network without it having to support AirPrint.

  • 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
