HP Photosmart 5515 all-in-one not detected by HP software, driver not found by Windows Update

Hi,
I have Windows 7 64 bits and an HP Photosmart 5515.
I had to reformat my PC, and when I tried to install the printer, Windows Update recognized it, but couldn't find the appropriate drivers, while the HP software didn't find the printer, neither with the IP address nor the Hostname.
The printer is connected to the network, and is working perfectly (we are able to print on my wife's computer), but on mine it's not possible to connect it.
I've tried both the Full Feature Software Package:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-108875-3&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
And the Basic Divers Package:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-108878-3&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
Is it possible to just download an "old school" driver so I can use it straight from the Device Manager in Windows 7?
This question was solved.

Since I installed Mountain Lion operating system, I cannot print. I have a HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one printer. I get a message when I try to update the software "Server not available The software update service is currently not available."

After installing Mountain Lion, my printer doesn't work. I know it is connected as it shows up, The message is:
"The printer software was installed incorrectly. Please reinstall the software for this printer or conact the anufacturer for assistance."
I used the disk that came with the printer as when I go to the HP site, it tells me that Apple has the drivers needed. I unistalled the printer and reistalled. Previously, I just went to the HP website an everything worked fine for drivers, program, etc. I never had to use the CD that came with the printer. My printer is: HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one, it is wireless, but I even took the computer and plugged it into the printer to make sure that everything was connected. Can someone please help me to get this working,
Thank you,
Cheryl Paul

HT1338 How do I get the Lion update for the HP Photosmart 3210 All in One Printer? The auto software update says none are available, while HP says one is available.

I just installed LION and no Power PC Apps work.
HP says there are updates for Lion from MAC APP store for the HP 3210 PhotoSmart All in Printer and provided instructions.
I followed these but no updates were visible or installed. Any idea why?
Is there a place where I can look at Apple for an update?
If no update is available, can anyone recommend a good flatbed scanner for under $400 that works with Lion?

Hi,
The drivers do available from Apple and your Mac may fails from getting them due to any connectivity or installed software issue.
First make sure you don't have any previous OS drivers installed:
Open Finder, then click Go > Computer and select the active volume of your OS.
(If have couple and not sure which one is correct, click the Apple icon > About This Mac.)
Open Library\Printers and move the HP folder to the trash.
Enter into PPDs\Contents\Resources, search for 3200 in that folder and move the results files.
Reboot your Mac, ensure the printer is turned on, in Ready state and directly connected to your Mac.
Enter Print & Scan, click the Plus sign and you shoud see your printer listed.. select it and click Install.
If no printers appears at all there is a connectivity issue.. ensure it is directly connected and not through any USB hub or adaptor, the cable is not longer than 2m length.. otherwise try a new USB cable.
If the printer appears but stil cannot locate drivers for yoru printer download and install the package below and then try adding the printer again:

How do I get my HP Photosmart C6280 All-In-One to scan?

I have updated to Mac OS 10.9 the driver for my HP Photosmart C6280 All-In-One, but the scanner function no longer works. The Apple update list shows the update was performed on October 30.
The printer does not show up in the list of printers as a "Bonjour" printer, as the instructions from HP's website indicate it should.

Hi there,
I understand you're having issues printing/scanning with your Photosmart C6280 since upgrading the 10.9 on your Mac. I would like to help you with this as best I can.
The reason your having issues is because the HP software you're using is not designed for the 10.9 operating system. The last full software package HP released for the Photosmart C6280 was for 10.6, so the best option at this point would be to use the in operating system drivers.
To get everything to work properly again, I'm going to link you to how to completely remove the HP software so you can use the Apple software as Sunshyn2005 has described in her post. Once you follow those steps to begin using the Apple software you may not know how to scan using the Apple software and you can learn 3 different ways to do so.
I hope this helps, have a great weekend!

HP Photosmart C4180 All In One ... won't scan at all

According to HP, I have all the latest HP Photosmart C4180 "All In One" Drivers Installed.
According to PackardBell (my pc) it is all installed to Windows 7 with a 32 Bit Operating System.
The problem I get is that I start the P/C ... Then I opened up the HP "Solution Centre" on the desktop ...
It tells me "Your HP Photosmart C4100 series is ready"
In the middle of the screen it says "Start An Activity" then there is a button that says
"Scan Document" ... I press on this button and it seems to do nothing!!! ...
Please Help?? ... gooseman57

Hi there @gooseman57 !
Thanks for contacting the HP Forums!
From what I can see from your post, sound like the scanning software for the HP Photosmart C4180 is not responding. I should be able to provide you with a resolution for your issue.
A good place to start with an issue such as this, is to restart the computer and the printer. I would suggest trying a photo copy on the printer to ensure the printer hardware is OK!
If you continue to experience this problem I would then suggest uninstalling and reinstalling the HP drivers.
I have provided a link with instructions on uninstalling the printer software and another link to the HP Photosmart C4100 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver
There are also other ways of scanning we can explore. For example, you can scan using the program Microsoft Paint. All you need to do is:
1.Open PAINT
2.Go to "FILE" dropdown
3.Click: From scanner or camera
3.Choose your printer
4.Choose what type of scan you would like
5.Click SCAN
6.Click SAVE
Here is a link to a YouTube video for scanning using Microsoft Paint: Scan with your All-in-One Using Windows Paint (Windows 7)
Let me know if this was useful information and please post back with the results of your troubleshooting.

Hello @costianna , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you're running into print issues. I would like to try and help with that!
I would suggest Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once it is uninstalled, I would suggest putting your system into clean boot mode within the Microsoft configuration. You can do so by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Once the computer is in clean boot mode, I would suggest reinstalling the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Photosmart C4580 All-In-One - Error Message: Print Cartridge(s) missing or not detected

Hi
I have recently encountered a problem with my printer.
I went to print a document and the following error message was displayed on the printer "Print Cartridge(s) missing or not detected", and the document would not print.
I am unsure as to why this message was displayed as I had not changed anything to do with the printer.
The cartridges that were in the printer had been in the printer since October so I thought that it could be due to the cartridges needing to be replaced, therefore, I changed the black ink cartridge. Once the cartridge had been replaced the error message disappeared and the document printed.
However, I went to print another document shortly after and the error message reappeared and the document would not print.
Due to the fact that changing the black cartridge cleared the error message, I replaced the colour cartridge, however, this did not cure the error message this time.
I have followed all of the advice on the HP support pages about cleaning the contacts etc, however, it has not worked. I have also contacted the support team by Email, but have had no reply.
Does anyone know how to cure the problem, or if in fact it can be cured. I am a university student and desperately need the use of my printer, so any help would be appreciated.

Hi
Yes it did get resolved in the end.
It seems that the fault came from using remanufactured or re-filled cartridges.
I had to replace both of the cartridges so that they were genuine HP cartridges.
Originally I only replaced the one that was causing the problem, but in the end I had to replace both of them. This then resolved the problem immediately.
I hope this helps.
If not, I would advise contacting the HP support team as when they finally replied to my email they were very helpful and quick to reply to queries and offer advice and suggestions.

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?

Detection problem of my HP photosmart C5200 All-in-One series

Hi,
I have an HP photosmart C5200 All-in-One series and the printer will not detect that it is connected to the computer via USB cable. I checked all the USB slots in my computer and they are work, so the problem is with the printer. I tried installing and re-installing the printer to several computers and the installation goes well until the step that asks to connect the USB cable to the printer and computer for identification. However, printer seem not to recognize that it is connected. So, it gives me the option to proceed without the connection step and the installation is complete.
If anyone had the same problem and solved, it would be greatly appreciated to have your help.
Thank you.

What operating system are you using ?
You may try the HP Install Wizard to detect and resolve your issue.
