Hp photosmart C7180 is printing colar images in yellow-green only

I am trying to print color images on my PhotoSmart C-7180 All In One from my Mac Pro with OS 10.6.8. All ink cartridge levels are O.K. I've tried cleaning the print heads twice, and I've tried Color Sych and colorsmart RGB settings to no avail.
I've reset the driver on line twice, but printer won't use magenta or blue.

Images turning yellow/green

I am running Aperture 3.1.3 on 10.6.8 and importing camera RAW from a Canon 60D. I've been working fine with Aperture for about a year, but when I started opening images in a folder for the third or forth time since I imported them yesterday, they are turning dark green, one by one. They look fine during the load, but once it completes, it's like the bottom drops out of the gamma.
I found a post suggesting I remove a few plists -- I tried moving the only one I found, but no luck (and all the Adjustments panels have now disappeared). I had made no adjustments to the image but I reset them all anyway; no change. Reopened Aperture, the adjustment panel is still empty. At first the thumbnail remained the normal color, now it too is dark green.
I'm afraid to open any other images.
Any one had this problem or found a solution? Borderline desperate here...

Just a note: Quick Preview is not enabled, and when I click Show Master, I a "Missing Adjustments !" message is displayed (for some reason I'm not able to upload a screenshot).

HP Photosmart c7180 wireless scanning setup

I recently changed my connection from USB to wireless (with wireless access point) for my PhotoSmart c7180 and printing works fine but when I try to scan nothing happens and it no longer appears in the list of scanners. What can I do to allow scanning wirelessly?
When I press Scan Menu on the printer and select Scan to Computer it says "refer to device documentation to troubleshoot."
Please help!

What computer operating system are you using? What kind of router and ISP?

Problem with printing and scanning after updating to Mavericks for my Photosmart C7180

After updating my macbook pro (mid 2009) to Mavericks, I have found that I can only scan to a jpeg2000 and cannot scan as a tiff or jpeg or anyother format. I have followed instructions on troubleshooting and have not been able to make anything work ie scanning from preview etc. I have now uninstalled all the HP software and tried to load it again but software update will not recognise that I do not have the software for my printer. What do I do now?

Hello Cyd23, welcome to the forums!
I understand you're having issues with scanning since you upgraded to Mavericks. I have looked into this concern for you and found that there is no downloadable driver with the full feature software (scanning software) included for the Photosmart C7180 and Mavericks.
However, there are work around options for scanning that may help and work!
Please see this link for the other methods: OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac
I hope that helps!
Have a great day

Cannot do wireless printing to HP Photosmart C7180 since upgrading to Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit

     I recently upgraded one of my new HP p6150t Pavillion PCs from Vista Home Premium 64-bit to Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Since then I have not been able to print to my networked printer, an HP Photosmart C7180 All-in-One, which is wireless on my home network. When this PC was Vista, I was able to print. Two other PCs on my home network, both running XP, can access the printer across the network and print. This PC now running Windows 7 64-bit can find the networked printer when I "Add-a-printer", and I am able to finish the installation of the printer.
     I downloaded and installed new drivers for the HP C7180 from the HP website specifically for Windows 7 64-bit, so I have the latest drivers. (The version of the drivers is 13.1.0, date is 10-2009. From the same HP printer driver download site, I also installed " HP Print Software Patch When Upgrading Vista to Windows 7".
     I do not want to install the printer as a shared device on any of the other PCs, but rather want to be able to print from any of them, direct wirelessly, even if the other PCs are offline. And I was able to do this when I used Vista...
     If I open and leave visible the print queue for the printer, and then print a Test Page, I see the print job briefly shown as "Spooling" and then as "Printing" in the print queue display, but nothing ever reachs the printer. There are no error messages, either during the process of Adding the Printer, or when sending Test Pages, or other print jobs to the printer.
     I have McAfee antivirus and Firewall installed on all of my PCs. The Firewall advanced setting for Networks shows that the IP address range for all of my IPs are trusted.
    [Although I just bought this PC from hp.com only 4 months ago, as part of a package of 2 PCs, a MediaSmart server, big hdtv monitor, and all with 4 year extended support agreements, HP provides "NO" support for network printing. That was what a support specialist called to tell me after I sent an email to the HP CEO. HP PCs, HP printer, HP provided upgrade kit for Windows 7, but if you want to actually print from your HP PC to your HP printer, there is "NO" support. (I worked for HP for ten years, but it is clearly a different company now.) So, if anyone in the Community can assist, I would very much appreciate it.]

I have a year old Epson and an HP.. I upgraded to a win 7 64 bit and doing some sharing/networking.. Got some 32 bit XPand two win 7 64 bit.. The Epson ,shares and connects up with no issues.. the HP is just a fiasco... No more HP for me ...

NOT PRINTING FROM WINDOWS 7 TO MY PHOTOSMART c7180 ALL-IN-ONE (I CAN SEE MESSAGES IN QUEUE)?

CANNOT PRINTING FROM WINDOWS 7 TO MY PHOTOSMART c7180 ALL-IN-ONE (I CAN SEE MESSAGES IN QUEUE)?

Hi,
I think you need to remove the queue. Please try:
    hold down the Windows key and press R.
    from the Run window, type services.msc and hit enter.
    if the machine asks for Admin you have to accept this,
    look down to the print spooler service, right click it and select properties
    click on the Stop button,
    browse to C:\Windows\System32\Spool\printers
    delete the job inside this folder
    reboot the machine
Regards.

Photosmart C7180 Printing Issue

So here's a strange one, my 9 month old Photosmart C7180 has developed a nasty habit of printing every other page in Landscape mode. I've been using the printer on a near daily basis for 9 months, but 2 days ago I started noticing this weird quirk when printing multiple page documents. I can't verify what may have triggered this (software or OS update) because it is possible that I haven't printed multiple page documents for a few weeks. I have checked for OS/App/Firmware updates and verified that I have the latest drivers and software. I have restarted both systems and reset the factory defaults for the printer.
I can print a single page in Portrait mode, but if I print 3 pages the 2nd page comes out in Landscape. I can print the 2nd page individually and it comes out fine. It happens whether I'm printing from Microsoft Word or even if using Microsoft Photo Editor or HP Photosmart software.
I am using the TCP/IP connection for printing from my Microsoft XP notebook (although I just verified that it happens when using Bluetooth as well).
Has anyone else experienced this or have any possible explanation for why it seems to be possesed?
This question was solved.

How can you print mirror image from word 2010 on the HP Photosmart c310 printer

Trying to print mirror image from Microsoft 2010 on a windows 7 computer to the HP Photosmart C310 printer. Can not find an option. Please advise.

Judith
Perhaps you can enlighten us as to what "does not print correctly" actually means.
Miss-spells your name? or what?
How have you set up your Page set-up?
It has to agree with how you are feeding the envelope in and what printer driver you are using.

Cannot print all colors on HP Photosmart C7180

Cannot print all colors on HP Photosmart C7180. Changed cartridges, updated Mac Software. Did not help, When using the HP diagnostic test only 4 colors show.

Time to contact HP support.

Trying to print mirror image from word 2010 to the HP photosmart c310. How??

Can not find an option to print mirror image. Please Help...

I have tried creating the profile again and still get the same problem. The problem is machine based and not user based.
Hi GG1234,
If you recreated the Outlook profile and still got the same problem, please try to recreate the Windows Profile:
Log on to client using local admin account->rename the profile folder under c:\users.
By the way, did you try to print the mails in OWA?

HP Photosmart Premium C310a Printer paper alignment and paper feed problem.

Standard Info:
HP Photosmart Premium C310a Inkjet All-in-one Printer.
Windows 7 Home Premium
No reported errors messages except for paper jams.
No changes were made to the system before the problems began.
My Info:
I am very proficient with computers and electronics. I would first like to say that this printer has very vibrant inks and its ColorSmart/sRGB ICC profile is pure magic. The high DPI ratings have turned out to be accurate so far and the printer prints beautiful images.
Problems:
The problem I am having is with the printers paper feed rollers. They are not scrolling the paper through the printer accurately and consistantly. There have also been two paper jams when using multipurpose everyday paper. When printing high res artwork using HP Advanced Photo Paper I was using HP Photosmart Essentials to create an 8"x10" picture on the 8.5"x11" paper and the first 35-40 prints came out accurately but then, before any paper jams or other problems the 8x10 pictures began to not center correctly on the paper. Then the top of the 8x10 picture started slanting to the right on the paper and extending too close to the right edge of the paper. The entire 8x10 picture is no longer printing 8x10 (the left side of the picture is just over 8" tall and the right side of the picture is printing just under 8", same thing with the top and bottom edges of the image) and is not centering properly on the paper. I just had my second paper jam last night which I clicked the "cancel print" button on the front of the printer touch display to eject the paper. Immediately after, everything began printing very close to the left edge of the paper and prints at an angle down the sheet no matter what it is that I print or what paper it is printed on. I have tried using the auto alignment feature on the printer several times and it does not help.
Questions:
Is this printer purchased on 09/25/2011 from hp.com (with no extended warranty) still under a regular warranty?
If I send it in for repairs will HP be able to fix these problems?
Is there any way that I can adjust the scrollers myself to fix the problem?
Is the new C510a more reliable than the C310a in this field?
I need a backup printer for my art business, I would like to purchase an HP C510a, but am concerned I will have the same problems with the new one.
If anyone can help, please respond. I cannot go on with these problems any longer.
Thank you for your time,
Nanette

Thank you for your quick response Bob. Your answer was helpful, but did not solve my problem. I have cleaned the printer exactly as your response has suggested, but there has been no change, and I was not able to find any dirt, scum, dust, or anything at all wrong with the rollers.
Here are a few pictures of some 8"x10" pictures that I just printed on 8.5"x11" HP Advanced Photo Paper:
These 8"x10" images are supposed to be centered on the paper, but are FAR from centered or dimensionally accurate to 8"x10".
This last image shows really well how the top of the 8"x10" image slants downward from left to right as well as approaches too close to the right edge of the paper.
Is this a problem that I can fix on my own?
If I send the printer to HP for repairs will they be able to fix this problem or will they just clean the printer scrollers and send it back thinking it is fixed?
I really need help with this problem, because right now, the printer is not useable.
Thank you for your help.

Photosmart C7180 on Windows 7 x64: Big problems

My faithful Photosmart C7180 has gone to a near-useless state since I attached it to my new desktop machine running Windows 7x64. I am connected via a wired connection/usb cable. Some of theese new antics include:
Solutions Center says it's Disconnected, when it is not
The scanner doesn't work
When I attempt to print a doc, I get a partial print of the doc, along with 5 or 6 sheets of papers with a few random characters printed at the top.
I have installed, uninstalled and re-installed the latest version of the software as downloaded from the website (v 13.1.0) far too many times. This does nothing.
I have run the HP Print and Scan Doctor....the print side says it works fine (it doesn't); the scan option fails on the Driver Check, saying that 'the scan driver is unable to communicate with the product'. I've followed the instructions to unplug the printer, plugging it back in, restarting the computer, multiple times....again, this does nothing.
Anybody out there have any suggestions, other than hauling this thing to the dump?
This question was solved.

I would try possibly using another method of connection. Possibly it is the USB cord that is malfunctioning. If you have another cord try that, or you can try setting the printer up on your network using a wired-Ethernet connection.
Try this and let me know how it turns out!

HP Photosmart Pro B9180 Printing Blank Sheets

I have a HP Photosmart Pro B9180 printer. I joined two scanned images into one photo and saved it as a .tif file. I then resized it to 8x10 and it printed fine. When I resized it again to print it as an 12x16 on 13x19 paper, the printer will only spit out blank sheets. I took it to a mini lab and they couldn't print it either.
Anybody have any ideas what might be wrong?
Bob

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!

HP Photosmart C7180 All in One Scanner problem

I received this unit a couple of years ago second hand, so any setup required was already done when I got it. The scanner always has worked and when I placed a document inside to scan, I would hit the scan button and the menu would give me several options for scan including PDF file, TIF, etc. I would choose PDF, plug my laptop into the usb, and it would scan the item onto my pc laptop. When I tried to scan last time, the only scan options that come up on the menu are Scan and Reprint and Scan to Memory Device. If I hit either option, the menu takes me to a photo printing screen where I only have choices of photo size etc. I don't know what happened, but it seems to me there must be some way to reset this thing for document scanning options instead of photo scan function. I called HP support and didn't get anywhere, also tried a suggested power reset by unplugging the unit, waiting, then reattaching power cord. No change. The HP support thought I might need to reinstall software, which I don't have on my computer and I'm not really too great with these machines anyway. Any ideas?

Hello MC1970, welcome to the forums
I saw your post about no longer having all of the scanning options you used to have when scanning from your Photosmart C7180.
I would also suggest a reinstall however, to help you better and provide you with the links to describe what to do better, I would need to know which operating system you are running on your computer. Please let me know and I will reply back to you!
Which Windows Operating System am I running?

Undoing the "print as image" setting

Good morning all,
Yesterday I needed to print a document created with Adobe Reader. The printing was so faint it was barely visible, so I utilized the setting "print as image" in Advanced.
Now, I am unable to print anything: the paper goes through the printing process without any problem, but the page emerges completely blank. And now I no longer see the "print as image" option under Advanced...help!!
Thank you so much!!

Hi @Weesap
I'd be happy to help you with your 7525. I understand you are able to print, but there is no black ink on the page. Please begin with the steps in the following document; Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink for the HP Photosmart 7510 e-All-in... << this applies to the 7525 too.
If you complete all of the steps in the document above and the issue continues, my own personal recommendation, not one of HPs, is to use the solution offered in the following video. I only suggest doing this if he printer and printhead are out of warranty. Hot Water Printhead Flush - HP Ink Series Printers with removable Printhead.
I have recommended this solution to others and have seen success, but I can not guarantee this will resolve the issue, it is an end of the line kind of effort. I hope it helps.
PaganC wrote:
flushing it worked, Yeah!!!!!!! thanks for your help.
Although the printer might be out of warranty, if the issue persists, HP may be able to offer you something. Maybe they can offer you a discount on a newer model, or discuss the option of replacing the printhead! If after all of our efforts the issue remains, I suggest calling HP. If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
Thanks for reaching out to the HP Forums. I hope one of my recommendations resolves the issue.
