HP Photosmart C4580 All in one

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard my All in one C4580 will not scan. I just get an error notice saying that the printer cannot be initialised. It still prints, no problem. Is there a fix for this yet?

Here is what I did to get my scan with OCR working today after updating to 10.6. Noticed yesterday the OCR function was not working with the scan on my HP C5580 Photosmart all in one.
1. I did an uninstall of the HP software using the HP uninstaller that is located in the HP folder in Applications.
2. Went to the HP Downloads/Support @ hp.com and downloaded the latest update for my printer and 10.6 OSX from HP.
Installed that and during installation it asked if I wanted a scan button in the dock? I said yes.
Then I did a reboot and then did a software update from Apple and it said now it had an HP update which I had it do.
Now, when I use the dock scan button, the scan and OCR function work great. If I try to do it from Preview or using the Printer System Pref window, the OCR function won't work.
It may have been roundabout, but seemed to work for me.

    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.

  • HP Photosmart C4580 All-In-One Mac OSX 10.5

    My printer no longer works as a printer, it will copy and scan but will not print.
    I rebooted several times both printer and computer, no change.
    Then I deleted the printer and added it back, and no success, the printer is gone.
    I used the CD to reinstall the software, no printer.
    I downloaded the software and drivers and the disk image would not mount, because it was not recognized.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Hello, I don't have a floor model of that printer available and the manual for this printer does not mention the pump motor. But I would first try removing and reseating all the cartridges in the printer and power cycle the machine. If you are still getting that error message I would do a hard reset that involves removing the cartridges. No user settings are lost with a hard reset and it is a very common tool used to try to resolve a hardware issue with a printer.  To do a hard reset with removing the cartridges: 
    While the machine is powered on take all the cartridges out of the machine. Close cartridge access.
    Then pull the power cord out of the rear of the Product, and then unplug the cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 20 seconds.
    Plug power cord back into wall outlet and then back in the rear of the printer. It should power on by itself but after 10 seconds or so use the power button to turn machine on
    Wait for printer to go through start up process and as it recognizes the cartridges are missing (the display panel will inform of missing cartridges) put them back in their slots.

  • Photosmart Premium All in One Blue screen error B882B1C4

    I have recently purchased a Photosmart Premium All in One C309G machine which is connected via a USB cable to the PC. When I try to use it wirelessly it produces a blue screen with an error message B882B1C4 as soon as I switch on the BT hub. HP haven't been able to sort out the problem as I am now in  receipt of the 4th replacement . Can anyone suggest a solution please?  I have a BT1800HG wireless hub connected with an ethernet cable to my HP PC.

    This is posted in your separate thread:
    Hey there. I would try a power reset to fix the issue.
    Press the Power button ( ) to turn off the product.
    NOTE:The product might not turn off after pressing the Power button. Continue to the next step regardless.
    Disconnect the power cord from the back of the product.
    Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet, and then wait 30 seconds.
    Connect the power cord to the electrical outlet.
    Connect the power cord to the back of the product.
    Press the Power button ( ) to turn on the product.
    If this does not solve the issue then the printer will most likely need to be serviced.Hope this helps!

  • HP Photosmart e-All-in-One - B110a : How can I deactivate wireless?

    Hi, everyone.
    I just bought HP Photosmart e-All-in-One - B110 and after the installation (which went OK), while trying to get acquainted with the printer and the rest of the functions, I pushed the Wireless button out of curiosity.
    Now, every time I switch on B110, the Wireless blue light keeps blinking. Does that mean that it's working?
    I do NOT want to activate wireless printing (at least for the time being). I want it deactivated permanently. Is there a way to do this?
    Many thanks in advance.
    This question was solved.

    The blinking blue light means it's looking for a network to connect to. It won't connect to a network if you haven't put any info in the wireless setup. I believe there's an option to turn off the wireless radio in the settings somewhere.

  • Hp - photosmart e-all-in-one wireless printer cn731a- nothing prints??

    HP - Photosmart e-All-in-One Wireless Printer  (CN731A)
    Went through setup on Windows 7 64-bit, printed the test photo, came out great.  Thought everything was good to go.  Later, when trying to print a document, it wouldn't print.  Computer popped up a message saying "Successfully printed" but when I went to the printer, there was nothing there.  I tried running a wireless network test on the printer's screen, and once that page printed with the results, immediately after that, the document I was trying to get finally printed.  This was an early Christmas gift for my parents, & my mom just informed me that she tried to print again today, but nothing happened on the printer.  I am out of town now and am not able to troubleshoot on my own on the printer like I did a couple days ago so came here for advice.. Any idea what the issue might be? Did I maybe miss a step after doing the test print of the photo?  Any ideas would be appreciated!

    Hello,
    Try the below steps ..
    While the printer is ON, Unplug the power cord from back of the printer.
    Disconnect all the cables that are connected to the printer.
    Wait for 30 seconds.
    Plug in only the Power Cord. ( Printer would Power on ).
    Try making a standalone Color copy of a document . If it fails to print a copy, then it could either be an issue with the Ink cartridges  or the Printer .

    Hi,
    Given your ptinter supports print from Android, you need an app called HP ePrint. Please use Google Store to install it:

  • Problem with installing Solution Center for a HP Photosmart Premium All-in-One Printer - C309g

    Hi folks,
    I've searched many threads and found some directions to remedy this, tried them and have had no luck.
    I'm running Windows 7.  All updates are current.  When I bought the printer I installed the software (on Windows 7 OS) from the disc and everything was fine.  Fast forward a year and Solution Center stopped working.
    Uninstalled all HP software to reinstall.  I was only able to reinstall HP Update.  I was able to load the basic drivers for print and scan, but not the entire software suite including Solution Center.  The installation stops abruptly after "installing updates".
    I even downloaded and tried "PS_AIO_06_C309g-m_USW_Full_Win_enu_140_175" and got the same result as the original installation disc.
    What can I do with my printer (HP Photosmart Premium All-in-One Printer - C309g)???
    Thanks,
    Alex

    Hey Spider! First off welcome to the forum.
    I would recommend removing all the ink cartridges, unplugging the USB cable from the computer that connects to the printer, and then shutting the printer off completely by removing the power cord. Then restart your computer. Turn the printer back on but leave it disconnected from the computer. After it has finished its power on cycle go ahead and insert the ink cartridges back into the printer and be sure to seat them properly.
    After you have all the cartridges back in the printer properly then connect it to the computer. See if this resolves the issue. If not post back with any findings.
    Thanks,

    I have an HP Photosmart 5520 all in one printer and a MacBook Pro. Bought the MacBook Pro in Jan 2013 and the printer in Dec 2012. I was able to print to the wireless printer up until June 2013.

I have tried to update the HP software on my laptop, but could not. What can I do to use this printer with my MacBook Pro? Please help!

    The MacBook Pro is running at least 10.7.
