HP Photosmart C8180 Windows 7 64-bit

HP PHotosmart C8180 Windows 7 64 bit Serial Number {Removed for privacy}
My Photosmart printer began giving me error codes...ink system failure, B83024C6, and many others....flashing and blinking lights constantly. We tried all the resets, called HP and they said they did not have a fix for this so we were not going to pay the tech fee for nothing. I unplugged the printer and now it says...connect and install software.
PLEASE HELP! This is the most frustrating printer and everyone seems to have the same complaint. This was an expensive printer and Hp should come up with a solution.
I would appreciate any help you could give me....
We connect with aUSB cable. We also have a wireless N system but the printer is not used on that system.
Profeciency level of me is average
My husband and I have read the forum for some time regarding problems with the C8180 and many have given up hope of fixing the flashing led light problem. Our C8180 now has other problems and we are so frustrated that we are making one last attempt to get this working. We purchased this high end printer in 2009 and for a year it worked just fine...then the problems started.
We have made no changes to the printer or the computer. All software upgrades to the printer came from H.P.
HELP....
Claire

Well, as I expected. Jumped through all the hoops to ask the right questions on EXPERT DAY, and none of your 300 EXPERTS found it possible to answer the C8180 printer questions. Why, because this piece of junk cannot be fixed!
Thanks for nothing.

Photosmart C4780 (Windows 7 - 32 bit) - installation hangs up

I am having difficulty installing the driver for the Photosmart C4780 on a Windows 7 (32 bit) PC. I have downloaded the latest driver from HP support site. I copied the file to a folder on my C Drive and extracted it to its own folder. I run 'setup.exe' from that folder. Installation gets to 'remove existing device...' and then nothing (stops - does no complete installation). A device is listed as 'Photosmart..' but has the yellow exclamation mark next to 'troubleshoot'
I have restarted the PC. Shutdown the printer by disconnecting the printer and power cables. I have deleted folders in the temp folder. I have tried several options and when I run the install I get to the same point and then it basically doesn't complete the installation.

Hi,
If the printer is connected via USB, ensure the cable is disconnected.
Click the Start button and type %temp% into the search bar, press enter to open the folder listed within the searh results.
Open the HP installation folder which begins with 7z (e.g. 7zs1234), then open the Util folder and then the CCC folder.
Run Uninstall_L3.bat and an uninstall should start.
If only a black command prompt dialog appears press enter once, confirm any uninstall till a reboot is required.
Restart your PC, be sure to temporarly disable any AntiVirus or Rel Time protection software and reinstall the software, then check for any difference.
Please let me know the results,

How can i print photo's from my computor to my photosmart 7515 windows vista 64 bit with updates

How can i print photto's from my computor to my photosmart 7515 hp
OS vista 64 bit

Hi,
You can print from iPhone that means your printer is connected to a wireless network and definitely you can print from your computer which has wireless (or using USB cable).
Now go to the following site to download driver and applications for it and install them on your pc/laptop:

HP Photosmart 325 driver for Windows 7, 64 bit

I cannot find a driver for Windows 7, 64 bit to run the Photosmart 325 printer. Does one exist? Is there a work around? (The driver for Windows 7, 32 bit does not work)

Use the Photosmart 320 series driver available through Windows Update.

Photosmart 7960w printer- which driver/procedure to work with Windows 7 64-bit

RE: HP Photosmart 7960w printer- any success with a driver or workaround to use with Windows 7 64-bit? There seem to be three options on the HP site, but it's not clear at all what will work.

Hi there,
The Photosmart 7960 Photo Printer does not have full support in Windows 7. There is no driver available to download on the hp site, but instead there is a limited driver built into the Windows 7 operating system. What this means is that basic print functionality will work for your product in Windows 7, but you might lose some other functionalities. This document on the HP support site explains what is available to you. You might also find this support document helpful. Hope that helps!
Thanks!

Need help networking a photosmart 7960 to a windows 7 64 bit system from an XP Home 32 bit

I'm trying to network an HP photosmart 7960 to a wireless notebook with Win 7 64 bit where the printer is connected via usb to a windows home 32 bit computer. Have downloaded vista 64 bit drivers for the printer but can't install them on the windows 32 bit system. Have installed the drivers on the win 7 system but can't locate the inf file when trying to add a network printer. Any help would be appreciated.

I sympathize with your dilemma. I have the same situation. I have a Media Center 2002XP SP3 desktop with 3 printers connected. Photosmart 7960, PSC 750xi all in one, and a Deskjet 870cse(a vintage 1996). I just purchased a HP dv7-3188cl notbook WIN7 64bit. My home network has worked flawlessly for years, with at least 4 wired and 3 wireless computers connected, networking 6 printers.
I have resolved my network problems with the printers. They are connected to the host machine running MC2002 XP SP3. I tried to install the printers through the network wizard by adding the printers through WIN7. Only the 14 year old printer installed successfully. The photosmart 7960 and PSC 750xi did NOT. Windows Update could not find the drivers for the install. None are available on HP website either.
After some web research, I have solved my problems. At first, I followed the add printer protocol from the WIN7 laptop. Error messages resulted and the USB printers would not install error0x00000214. The USB printers failed to install while connected to the host XP machine. The 870cse is on LPT1 and it did network successfully when attached to the host XPcomputer.
The drivers needed for the 7960 and 750xi (and probably many other HP printers) will install if you connect the printer to the WIN7 machine and follow the setup. Windows update will load the needed drivers if they are available. I sucessfully installed both printers on the WIN7 notebook, printed a test page on each, and printed other docs from the WIN7 notebook while they were connected to the WIN7 notebook. These drivers are 64bit. Both printers worked well when connected via USB to the WIN7 machine.
I then disconnected the printers from the WIN7 notebook and reconnected them to the original host XP desktop.
With the host desktop running, and the notebook running wirelessly, I went to (on WIN7) START--Devices and Printers.
Click ADD A PRINTER at the top of the window, then click LOCAL PRINTER ( NOT network!!!)
Then in the following Printer port window choose 'CREATE A NEW PORT--SELECT LOCAL PORT amd click next.
In the Port name box, enter the name of the port, ie the path. For example if the host machine with the printers attached is named WINXPMACHINE (as named on the network), enter \\WINXPMACHINE\ Then add immediately after that the Printer's name as it is on the XP machine( right click the printer in the Printer and Fax folder on the XP machine, select sharing and find the network share name for the printer). It may look like \\WINXPMACHINE\Printerx where x is a number corresponding to the printer. Then click next and OK
The next box asks to choose the printer from a list. Select the printer you want to network( I have only done this with HP printers) and click next
The next dialogue box asks to use the driver currently installed(recommended)--click next -- do NOT replace the driver( it was installed when the printer was directly connected to your WIN7 machine) Type in the name you want to use to identify the printer on your WIN7 machine. The printer will install. Print a test page to confirm installation.
Original web post I discovered ishttp://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7hardware/thread/bd43f9f6-e231-484f-a3b8-e06afeee7...
Hope it helps.

Photosmart C6280 Wireless Printing setup on a new Windows 7 - 32 bit machine..

I am able to print wireless with Windows XP machines in my home office on the Photosmart C6280 all-in-one printer. I have installed all of the Windows 7 - 32 bit drivers from hp.com. I have connected the printer and printed successfully through a USB cable with my new machine. I am able to see the wireless printer that I would like to select. However, I am unable to connect to it and print with like I was when it was USB connected.
I receive the following message when trying to select the printer I would like to select ....
"Windows cannot connect to the printer. Access is denied."
Any thoughts or suggestions ??

I have a notebook with Windows 7 and have successfully installed this printer via USB.
I also wish to use it wirelessly as I did with Vista and have gone to Devices nad Printers in the Control Panel to Add the printer wirelessly,
It finds the printer at 192.168.1.2 and installs ok.
When I ping 192.168.1.2 it replies ok
However, when I send a print to it wirelessly it keep giving me an error.
I tried turning off the firewall to no effect.
When I go into the Printer Properties it shows the port as being 192.168.1.2 and is set to Raw.
Please advise what is wrong here.

Photosmart A646 - Windows & (64-bit)

Upgraded to Windows 7 (64-bit) and now Windows 7 configures the Photosmart A646 to "Devices" instead of "Printers" in the Device Manager.
I downloaded the ".exe" from www.hp.com/go/windows7 but the download still places the A6464 in the "devices" and not "printers".
NOTE: The problem with the A646 being in devices is that the A646 does not appear in the printer selection when in a ny photo editing software.
I would welcome any suggestions.
Thank you ..... Don
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Don,
I just spent an hour on the phone with HP Support. They tried everything but then while I was watching, they right clicked on the HP in the device category and clicked eject. Once they did that, it became a printer and started working. I hope this helps you.
