HP printer Photosmart C4580

the problem has surfaced since I changed from BT to Plusnet. the printer will not be recongised. can print using a adhoc wired system only. have tried the error reinstallment many times but always have this --"Key not valid for use in specified state"
Also when trying to download, two messages 1) device not switched on,or not required for your computer.
the problem might be that the new router is 208.ll n and my computer is wireless 208.llb/g, the manufacture of the new router states that therouter is back compatable with the older system.

Thanks for replying PapaNoel
I will recommend that you connect the printer to your wireless network following my colleague @Sunshyn2005 's instructions in this Re: cannot configure photosmart c4580 to connect to my wireless network thread/post.
Once the printer is connected to the wireless network, I'd recommend temporarily disabling any anti-virus you may have running (this Disabling and Re-enabling Your Firewall Software in Windows document has some tips for firewalls) and re-download the software from HP's website, or from the following link: HP Photosmart C4500 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver.
These steps may take you a bit, so just take your time and let me know how everything goes for you

I am trying to connect my lap top to my HP Photosmart C4580. I have lost the software disk .

I have a Toshiba Satellite pro and a HP printer Photosmart C4580 which i purchased together in Harvey Norman Belfast. on 19/07/09. I have never been able to use the Blue tooth facility. However i now cannot print e-mails from my Lap top to printer via the connection cable or wirelessly. I have lost the disc that i got with my printer can you help Please. Thank you.

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @ronnie123456
I understand you no longer have the installation disk for your Photosmart C4580, and that is okay!
Here is the link where you can download the printer driver and software:
HP Photosmart C4580 All-in-One Printer Drivers
Also, if you cannot print your email after installing the printer, try printing from another web browser and that might help!
If you need any further assistance, include your operating system, the web browser(s) you have tried and any other details that I might need to investigate the problem further for you!
Have a wonderful day

My HP Photosmart C4580 no longer supported by HP or Apple. How can I reinstall printer driver?

I uninstalled my HP Photosmart C4580 thinking I could reinstall from the CD that came with it only to find out that the CD doesn't cover Mavericks. HP and Apple no longer support this printer. Suggestions?

This document says the C4500 series driver is available for automatic download/install when you add the printer in Print & Scan prefs:
OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download
Have you tried adding it yet?
PS - The CD is almost always outdated by the time you buy the printer. Don't bother with the CD.

Why can't I setup my HP Photosmart C4580 Printer with my Macbook?

   Okay, first of all, I've got to say that this has to be one of the most troublesome pieces of computer hardware that I've ever had the misfortune of running across. The only thing that keeps me from going all "Office Space" on it, (as another frustrated user put it) is that I've had the printer since I got my Macbook in late 2008, and there have been huge stretches of time when it has worked more or less perfectly. However, each time I update my OS, or try to add the printer to a new computer, all **** breaks loose. This latest time has really taken the cake- as I've been messing with it consistently for several weeks and have not been able to use it at all.
   I guess it began when I upgraded to OS X Snow Leopard around April. Prior to this the wi-fi printing had worked fine, but after this upgrade for some reason I could only print with the USB connected. Then, about a month ago I upgraded to OS X Lion, and I'm still unable to get the wi-fi printing to work.
   The point I'm at now, is that I've downloaded what I believe to be the appropriate HP setup utility package, and went through that all the way through where it sets up the wireless functionality of the printer and it says to go to 'Print & Fax' in System Preferences and add the printer. So I do that, and I get to this point:
Setting up 'Photosmart C4500 series
[F559E3]...'
Software for this printer is available from Apple.
Would you like to download and install it?
... where I obivously click "Download and Install". At this point, I get a dialog that says "Finding software" for several minutes, and then says:
Setting up 'Photosmart C4500 series
[F559E3]...'
The software for this printer is currently unavailable.
Please contact the printer's manufacturer for the
latest software.
... at this point the only option is "Cancel", and when I click that, I'm left with no printers in my list of printers. Likewise, if I don't click "Download and Install on the previous screen, it cancels the setup.
This leads me to believe that it may actually be an issue with Apple instead of HP at this point, but I'm not sure. Likewise, I've tried other options such as setting up the printer by it's IP address and by something called an HP Jetdirect - Socket, but those methods were unfruitful.
I feel like I should note that, when I go to "Add Printer", I'm presented with a list of both the USB connected version of my printer, and the "Bonjour Multifunction" version (wi-fi). So it seems that the computer is having no trouble at least detecting the printer, which has been a problem for me in the past.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Despite HP's statement that 10.7 is supported for the Photosmart C4580, there are no drivers for this. I spoke to their Support Line and basically you need to buy a new printer. Wow! Wish I had known that before I upgraded to Lion.
HP does have a Trade-In and Trade-Up program. Sounds like the newer model printers will also handle the AirPrint for your iPhone and iPads.

Printing cards and labels on Photosmart C4580 printer

I couldn't find my particular problem using the search so I'm hoping for some answers here. I have a Photosmart C4580 printer connected to a Toshiba laptop running Vista with all the current updates. My problem is that I can't seem to get it to print on business card stock or addrress label stock. Here's the issue:
I use Word to create business cards to print onto business card stock. The instructions that came with the card stock say to do a test page on regular paper first to verify placement, which I do - everything looks perfect so I put a page of card stock in the feeder. The printer grabs the page and prints with the image offset towards the top of the page by about 1/4" so that the top of the card is above the edge of the cards. As the cards are repeated down the page, it shifts down slightly so that by the time it gets to the bottom of the page it's almost on the card, but still overlaps the top edge slightly. Printing onto regular paper works perfectly every time.
A similar thing happens printing address labels - again using Word to create the labels for either Avery 5267 or Avery 8161 label stock. On regular paper everything looks perfect, but feed a sheet of label stock in and the text is offest toward the top of the page. The last time I needed labels I was able to get it to print properly by printing one label at a time, then refeeding the page and printing the next one, then repeating until each label on the page was printed. When you're printing several pages of labels that takes a lot of time!
Is there something I need to do to get this printer to print cards and labels?

Photosmart C4580 won't print - push a button on printer it shuts down

The Photosmart C4580 has been reluctant lately to print anything at all. The documents sit in the spooler but won't print.
I've searched for this problem here and haven't seen same printer, same issue and solution, so here goes...
Dell Dimension 3000
Win XP Pro Service Pack 3
I've had this printer since February 2009. I've set it up on the USB port.
Three weeks ago I upgraded the memory from twin 256 module setup to twin 512 using Dell products. Obviously, I took the PC apart, cleaned the dust bunnies, installed the memory and everything worked great after rebooting - including the printer.
About two weeks ago a carriage jam error popped up. It wasn't jammed but I pulled the ink, reset them and restarted the printer. It worked fine - no noises, no jams, nothing.
Yesterday the printer quit printing at all. It said documents are printing but they just sat in the queue. I've done:
1. HP Solution Center guided solution
(when it asks to hit the Cancel Button and Start Copy Color buttons to print Self Test, the printer shuts down every time)
2. Windows troubleshooter
3. The HP Support solution online
4. Reinstalled printer using original CD
5. Reinstalled using the latest install software from HP online.
*After the latest reinstall, where the program asks you to print a test photo page, it did not print. HOWEVER, after I shut down and restarted the printer, that photo printed! But I can't print anything else since.
Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

Has anyone been sucessfully printing to an HP Photosmart c4580? If so, can you point me in the right direction?

Hello, I am trying to figure out if is possible to print from an IPAD2 to an Hp Photosmart c4580 series printer. I have run across all kinds of advice pointing to a multiple of apps (all cost $) but need to be sure I can complete the connection prior to purchasing. HP dos not list this unit as supporting AirPrint, and pimps an app of their own. Anyone solved this problem?

There was a cool new device discussed on Engadget a week or so ago. Lantronix is creating a print server that stands between Bonjour(iOS) devices and standard non-Bonjour printers. Here are links on it.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/13/xprintserver-offers-up-wireless-printing-for- ios-devices-makes/#continued
http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/mobile-print-servers/xprintserver.html
As i understood the article it would cost about $100...this may not be right for your specific use case, and it won't be available to 1st quarter 2012, but you might find it interesting. If you are on a home network AirPrint works great, in an enterprise environment, you have to fiddle a bit with the access points and network infrastructure to allow mDNS(Bonjour) packets to move back and forth.

Photosmart c4580 printing problems windows 7

I'm running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. My HP Photosmart C4580 prints 70% of the document correctly and the other 30% only prints the very top third of the characters on that line. Any idea for the fix when the printer is only printing what appears to be the "first pass" of the print-head for any given line in a document?

Hi there,
To make sure there are no software problems causing this try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://goo.gl/Ujpib
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

Lion - Installing Photosmart C4580 Printer

Does anyone now how to install a HP Photosmart C4580 printer on Lion? I downloaded the printdrivers. When I go to add the printer it tells me that the driver is available from Apple then after searching it tells me that the driver is currently unavailable and instructs me to go to the manufacturers website. The HP website tells me to go to Apple. Any thoughts or suggestions?

First of all, just want to check that after downloading the driver you did run the installer? I ask because there has been new users who download the driver but don't run the included installer, thinking that they can just browse to this downloaded file as you do in Windows.
If you did run the driver installer then when you get the message stating that the driver is available from Apple, do you still find that the Print Using menu is active and that you can click on "Select Printer Software"? If yes, then should be able to browse to the driver that you installed on the Mac.

HP Photosmart C4580-hpzsetup.exe

I have an HP Pavilion dv5 Notebook PC that I purchased in Sept 2008. It is running Windows Vista Home Premium, Service Pack 2, 32-bit operating system. I have an HP Photosmart C4580 All-in-One Printer that I also purchased at the same time. I have had printing and scanning issues on and off during the almost two years since I got the computer.
Originally, I had set up the printer to work with my wireless router. The scanner would not function at all. The printer would arbitrarily cut off the bottom of documents in MS Word, Excel and Notepad. Hours and hours of tech support with HP, including them co-piloting my computer, led to multiple uninstalls and re-installs of the driver software. None of this helped. I finally gave up, went to a USB hook-up and this helped the printer but the scanner never worked.
In March 2010, the laptop had a complete motherboard failure. Fortunately, I had a service plan with Best Buy. They sent it to a service center and replaced it. When it came back, I asked the Geek Squad to look at the scanner. They got it to work FINALLY!
Until a couple of days ago, everything was fine. The printer was printing properly and was scanning from the HP solution center. I’m not sure if what I did next had any impact but I had to replace the laptop battery. I “safely removed hardware” including the printer, shut down the computer, unplugged everything and then replaced the battery.
When everything was hooked up again, I started getting a security pop-up (I have Kaspersky) saying “hpzsetup.exe” needed my permission to run. If I hit "cancel", it gives me another pop-up (“hpzstub.exe) that says "To complete the Hewlett-Packard installation, you must click Retry on this screen and click Continue or OK on the next screen.”
If I choose “Continue” from the first dialog box or "Retry" from the second one, I get a screen that seems to indicate an installation is in progress and it fails. It says “Fatal error during installation” and gives an “error stub” with a number. Some of the numbers have been “3148606”, “1116386”, “1181452”. It gives me a different number each time. The dialog box says “Installing HP Photosmart C4500 Series” and lists the following steps: 1. Checking system. 2. Preparing to Install. 3. Installing 4. Configuring Your Product Then the program seems to get hung up on Step 4 at 96%. This dialog box doesn’t go away until I press “OK” on the error dialog box.
If I hit "cancel" on the “To complete” message box, the pop-up goes away but after a few minutes, the "hpzstub.exe" pop-up comes back.
So far, I've run the registry cleaner and a full Kaspersky scan but it's still happening. I can't seem to locate either of these things in a folder or anything so I don't know where they are coming from. I’ve also downloaded HP update and tried to download a software patch as indicated in another thread but to no avail. It's maddening. How do I get this stupid thing to go away? I would appreciate any help you can suggest.
By the way, our brand-new Toshiba laptop has absolutely no problems with the printer or scanner and is able to connect through the wireless router or USB. It’s frustrating that the Toshiba works perfectly when the HP seems to have so many issues.

My printer is out of warranty. Wireless works fine with other computers. One is a Windows XP desktop and the other is an HP Compaq CQ-6150DX Windows 7 - 64 bit Notebook. Not sure if ALL features work - For starters, printing works OK.
In the computer under question ( HP Windows Vista 32 bit system ) the original installation was USB cable to printer..
I had hoped to change the above setup from PRINTER TO USB to WIRELESS ( like other two computers ).
This PC works fine with router in accessing the internet with a Cisco WUSB54GC USB wireless stick.
As matters stand, after downloading latest Photosmart drivers and uninstalling and installing several times I get the following messags: "The connectect printer does not support wireless network." THIS MAKES NO SENSE:
Two other messages came up in my failed frustrating installation attemps:
"the specified service does not exist as an installed device." THIS ALSO MAKES NO SENSE:
"The HP software that enables network is not responding. Cancel the installation and retart the PC." **bleep** !
BEEN THERE. DONE THAT. Several times. Incidently, USB to printer PRINTING STILL WORKS anyway.
Has ANYONE been able to get wireless working on Windows Visa with HP PHOTOSMART printer?
I am good at following step-by-step instruction - ONES THAT ACTUALLY WORK, THAT IS:
I am NOT interested in what may or may not work with printers other than C4580 SPECIFICALLY:.
After reading of others investing HOURS in trying to get HP Plotosmart C4580 to work wireless to work with my HP Windows Vista to work I hesitate to follow instructions that list several OTHER HP products which may or may not be comparable. I do not have several hours to for more failed tries. ANY SUGGESTIONS GREATLY APPRECIATED.
As matters stand, I have the printer working OK with a USB to Photosmart connection. It prints OK for now.
Again, has ANYONE ever gotten the Photosmart C4580 working normally with Windows 7 - 64 bit ? ? ? ?
THANK YOU.
