Hi,
I replaced the black inktcartridge 3 days ago. Printed a few pages without any problem 2 days ago. Now it doesn't work anymore ... Cleaned the printer as explained in previous posts. Still no printig. Set the options in 'only black printing'. No result ...
Any help would be welcome.
Thank you.

Welcome to the Forums, Theo
I saw your post about your black ink no longer printing on your Photosmart C3180. I understand you mentioned you cleaned the printer, but I am unsure if you have cleaned the actual ink cartridges, which I recommend.
Check Print Cartridge Light Blinking (Follow this guide)
You can also try this guide - Missing, Faded, or Dull Colors
I hope this helps!
Best wishes,

  • HP Photosmart c3180 Two-sided Printing

    I have been advised by HP support that it is not possible to use the two-sided printing feature on this printer with Mac, although it works perfectly on my PC. Does anyone know of a way to enable this feature on Mac or some workaround?

    One way to do this would be to run Windows in Parallels or some other partition environment, and print from Windows on your Mac.

  • Photosmart C3180 is constantly printing purple instead of black?

    I thought that it was simply running out of ink, so I bought a new cartridge. After I replaced it, the printer is still printing black text as purple?

    Could you tell me how to run a cleaning cycle for the printer as well. Thank you.

  • Error:-9672 when trying to add HP Photosmart C3180 printer.

    Printer: HP Photosmart C3180
    "An error occured while trying to add the selected printer. Error:-9672"
    Printer works fine if connected directly to my iMac. But, through "Airport Extreme Base Station", I get the error.
    Anyone with same printer having same problem? Anyone solutions?
    iMac Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I found the same thing out yesterday and did the same solution.
    One issue should be noted. The quality of the print is much worse since we are not using the correct print driver. Works fine for standard unimportant text printing, but really can't be used for printing photos.
    Connect the printer directly to the computer USB and print a photograph using the real print driver, then connect wirelessly using the above method and print the same photo. The difference is dramatic.
    It also seems to overuse black ink when hooked up through the Airport, and the printer light blinks for a while after printing is done.
    Anyway, I plan on leaving it hooked up wirelessly for convenience sake, but when good quality is needed I will attach it directly to the USB port.
    You can verify my findings and let others know if you find the same thing I found.
    Good luck, and lets hope there are more compatible printers available in the future.

  • HP Photosmart C3180 on USB Will Not Print After Update to 10.5.7

    My HP Photosmart C3180 all-in-one printer (connected via USB) has worked fine up to now. Last night I installed the 10.5.7 update and now all the machine will print is a single line of text with the name of the Adobe postscript file, and then it continues to feed and output blank page after blank page without end.
    I tried reinstalling my printer drivers. That did not fix it. It also keeps prompting me for an Adobe PDF file name each time I send a document to print.
    I've tried printing PDFs, Word documents, web pages, etc., and I keep getting the same results.
    Any suggestions about alternative drivers or are other people experiencing printer problems after the update?

    I downloaded the 10.5.7 update on its own and reinstalled it. That seemed to fix the problem now. Don't use the "Check for Updates..." link in Finder.

  • 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.

  • HP Photosmart c3180 Print Cartridge Cradle stuck on the left side

    I have a HP Photosmart c3180.  The ink cartridges were installed incorrectly.  When I open the front to change the cartridges, the two cartridges do not move over to the right for me to remove and reinstall properly.  All paper jams have been cleared.  Any help?

    Hello brummpa,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand the Deskjet 5150 carriage is stuck on the right hand side and won't move. I will do my best to assist you! Please make sure this printer is plugged into a direct wall, not a surge protector. Next, try performing a hard reset on your printer.
    After, performing this reset, I would try manually moving the carriage over to the left side. If this step doesn't work, then please follow this entire HP document on Paper Jam' Error Message Displays on the Computer.
    Please post your results!

  • Photosmart c3180 prints publisher 2007 multiple labels incorrectl​y

    When printing with Publisher 2007 with the Multiple labels per page option, the first label prints fine but the next 5 has a mini border in the upper corner. When I print to a PDF printer, these do not show and the PDF image is perfect. this issue is with my Photosmart C3180. Drivers for this AllInOne is very up to date. Using Windows 7 Home Premium. I scanned the actual printout so you can see what I mean.

    OK. Just installed MS Office 2010 with Publisher 2010 and it still does the same thing. It is either a simple publisher or printer setting. Also reinstalled the printer too. I know someone has a simple answer. Microsoft doesn't even understand my question.

  • Photosmart C3180 Printer

    I have the C3180 and the printer works fine. But the scanner is not recognized by my iMac. I'm using OS 10.5.2
    Did have it hooked up in a network and then found out that the scanner can not work in a network. I disconnected the C3180 from the network (I think) and now the scanner does not work. But the printer does. Perhaps I need to do something else to disconnect from the network. Can you help? HP is not linterested in helping until I pay them $35.00. I will never buy another HP product again.

    Found the answer.
    Please try the following step's
    1-Open Your Mac hd icon on your desktop
    2-Click on Applications and open the Hewlett-Packard folder
    3-Click on the HP uninstaller and run it
    4-After it uninstall's unplug your USB cable from your printer and
    your mac and restart your mac
    5-After mac restart's empty the trash can and plug the USB cable
    back in directly to your mac and not through a hub
    6-You will have to be on high speed Internet to get this software
    download
    7-Open your web browser and paste the following link in the address
    bar
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex
    ?softwareitem=mp-55009-3&lc=en
    &cc=us&dlc=en&product=1146331&os=219&lang=en
    8-Now select download only on step #3
    9-After the download is complete there should be a HP software icon
    on your desktop of your mac
    10-Open this icon and run the installer
    11-Make sure that you complete the setup assistant
    Are you now able to scan with your mac 10.5?
    This should resolve the issue.

  • HP Photosmart 5510 will not print Black Ink!! - Time to "break-up" with HP

    I came upon this forum by doing a google search for the issue I'm having which is my HP Photosmart 5510 will not print black ink. The printer is a year and a half old and is used only for home office use (not a heck of a lot of printing being done)
    It started right after I installed new ink cartridges (all four of them) I want to mention hear that I ONLY buy genuine HP ink cartridges from Staples and when I replace my cartriges I replace all four at the same time even if one ink level is not considered "replaceably" low. When the issue started I thought I must have gotten a bad black cartridge so I went out and bought another one but was still having the issue. So that's when I did my google search.
    I tried all the suggestions (several times) on this post (which did not reslove the problem) : http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printing-Issues-Troubleshooting/HP-Photosmart-5510-will-not-print/m-p/1...
    and I tried a "Hard Reset" as suggested here (again did not resolve the problem) :  http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Ink-Toner-Cartridge-Printhead-Issues/Photosmart-5510-Will-not-print-in-...
    After trying all of these my color ink is less than half full....remember....I started with 4 brand new ink cartridges...so now, I'm out roughly $85 in ink just trying to resolve a problem that should not have happened in the first place!! Shame on HP for makeing such poor quality products. I gave up on HP computers years ago and now I'm giving up on their printers!! This HP Photosmart 5510 All In One printer replaced an HP Color Laserjet CM1312nfi printer (which cost approximately $400) that only lasted about 3 years. Sorry HP but that's it....I'm moving on! Consider this our "break-up" letter. 

    Hi TisKate, sorry to hear that you are having printing issues when it comes to printing in Black. I am also sorry to hear that you are breaking up with HP. I would like to offer a couple more troubleshooting steps before we say our fond farewells. Now this might sound silly but really it isn't. If you have the power cable connected to a Power bar/strip, please remove it and connect the power cable directly to a wall outlet. HP printers already have a built in surge protector and if you have it in a strip/bar, the printer will not get all the power needed to function properly. This can cause printing issues or false error messages on the printer display screen. Here is a document that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector. 
    The other step I would like to take is on the printers display touch screen. Please use the right arrow key and go to the Wrench icon. Press the wrench and go to the Tools menu. Once in the Tools menu, please select Clean Printhead. Use the cleaning utility 2-3 times or until you see a change in the print status reports. It might take a few cycles but I am confident that it will make a difference.
    I hope you and HP can still be friends( friendly humor).
    Thanks for your time.

  • Photosmart C3180 and C4680 Scanning Problem with Mac OS X 10.9.5

    I upgraded to OS X 10.9.5 and now can't scan using either Photosmart C3180 or C4680.  I've repaired permissions and uninstalled and reinstalled printers in Printers and Scanners preferences.  Scan no longer appears as an option in Printers and Scanners preferences, just print.  Using Preview, "Import from scanner" in File menu is grayed out.  Printing works fine on both printers.  I can't find any updates to printer drivers on Apple Software Update.
    This question was solved.

  • How do I add an HP Photosmart 5510 wi fi printer to my i Mac

    How do I add an HP Photosmart 5510 wi fi printer to my i Mac

    Hi, davidfromickenham.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I understand that you are wanting to connect your Wi-Fi printer to your iMac.  Here is an article that will help you with that process.
    Add a Wi-Fi or network printer
    Update your software: Choose Apple menu > App Store, click Updates, then install any software updates listed. Even if no updates appear, this ensures that OS X has the latest information about printer software it can download from Apple. If you don’t do this, you may see a message that software isn’t available when you connect your printer. If you have an AirPrint printer, no software is installed so you don’t need to check for software updates.
    Prepare your printer: Use the instructions that came with your printer to unpack the printer, install ink or toner, and add paper. Turn on the printer and make sure it’s not displaying any errors.
    Connect your printer: Follow the instructions that came with the printer to connect it to the network. For more information, see the Apple Support article Connecting a Wi-Fi printer to your Wi-Fi network.
    Add the printer to your list of available printers: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Printers & Scanners. If you don’t see your printer listed on the left, click Add at the bottom of the list. A dialog appears listing printers on your local network. It may take a minute or two for your printer to appear. Select your printer when it appears in the list, then click Add. If you see a message prompting you to download new software, make sure to download and install it. If your printer still doesn’t appear in the list, try adding the printer by its IP address (see below).
    When you add a printer, OS X can usually detect whether the printer has special accessories installed, such as additional paper trays, extra memory, or a duplex unit. If it can’t, a dialog appears that lets you specify them. Make sure the settings in that dialog accurately reflect your printer’s installed accessories so you can take full advantage of them.

  • Photosmart c3180 windows 8.1

    I have a Photosmart C3180 all in one printer.  Worked fine with Windows 8.  I installed Windows 8.1 (64 bits) and I cannot install the proper driver.  A pop-up is telling me that the printer is not plugged.  I did few steps for trying to correct the problem (unplugged, and pluged again, change the USB port, try to reinstall the driver, installed a HP Printer Install Wizard...)  My C3180 still does not print (but I can scan with it...).  Can I try with the Windows 8.1 32 bits driver?  Or what esle can I do?  Thanks!

    Hi @cubitus123 ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read about needing drivers for Windows 8.1 64 bit and your HP Photosmart C3180. Here is link to the drivers and software.
    Here is a link to the HP Print and Scan Doctor. The HP Print and Scan Doctor will run a check on your system and install the drivers and software that is needed.
    Hope this helps.
