Hi there,
Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

Thanks for responding. What I did today was hard wire the printer to computer. then was able to get my original printer icon back and it was set as the default printer. I deleted the other icons, they were ghosted and I didn't what to use them. the one was a online printer going back to HP. Now I have to got my son to fix the remaining problem I have, with my messing around I somehow change the Network Name on the printer. He is a computer eng working on high tech cameras and also is the administrator of my machine. He has me locked out of administrative rights and for good reason, I wrecked a couple computers and when he built this one for me that was the rule. There is a little info that I don't have to finalize the last step in changing the Network Name back. I have run the printer from the printer control panel and it did find the correct Network and Network Name but is seemed like that is far as I could go. So I'm not that far from completing this project.

HP officejet j4680 all-in-one paper jam issue

I bought HP officejet j4680 all-in-one two months ago from a dealer. Now it keeps telling me a "paper jam" which doesn't exist. I tried everything from the troubleshooting in HP website. The jam light just keeps blinking. Now I am so frustrated with this product.

@CAGY, take a look at this HP link on how to clear a jam.

HP Officejet J4680 All-in-One Windoes 8 64-bit Driver Error

Hi,
I'm trying to install a driver for my J4680 officejet printer. I've downloaded the windows 8 64-bit driver for my new computer (I can't find the original CD anyway). I have verified that my OS is indeed windows 8 64-bit.
When running the installation. the install program successfully self-extracts, I choose "Install" in the newly-opened window, but then I get the following error during the system check stage:
The system cannot find the file specified.
I would appreciate your help.

Hi There, and thanks for the reply.
I have run sfc/scannow three times, each time rebooting, and each time it apparently found problems but couldn't repair them all, I then ran the next phase DISM, online componenent store corruption utility, this found problems and fixed them, rebooted and ran scannow again, no problems found.
Rebooted, clicked the printer zipped file, it unpacked and came to the 'welcome, install-quit' window, clicked install, straight away the same file error message appeared, so no change apart from some windows files were missing/corrupt, but not the right ones?.
Thanks for the assistance, any thing else we can try please?.

Scanner set up for HP Officejet J4680 All-In-One

I'm trying to set up to scan from the HP OfficejetJ4680 All-In-one. I do not know what software I need to download to my Acer laptop to get the scan function to work on the HP Officejet

Hi Susieque,
The best option, if it's available for your Operating System (Windows 7, etc.), is to download and install the Full Feature Software for your printer. The FFS includes the scanning option.
Here are the instructions:
=========================================================================
In many cases, you can (re)install the Full Feature Software for your printer to enhance its capabilities. The HP Solution Center is an integrated part of the FFS.
(Re)install the basic driver or Full Feature Software:
Drivers control hardware connected to the computer (wired or wireless).
Software controls the programs that interact with the User.
Go to the top of the forum page to Support and Drivers
Enter your Printer Model information, and then go to Software and Drivers...
Enter your Operating System in the Drop-down menu... Scroll down
Look for category Driver - Product Installation Software
Select the appropriate Basic Driver or Full Feature Software – if available for your printer Save the *.exe installation package on your computer -
NOTE the name and the location - the *.exe file will likely save to "Downloads “Install the Software / Driver installation package: It will be named *.exe – the package will most likely be located in the Downloads folder. If you have ‘Admin’ control, you may highlight the package and “double-click” to install it, else Right-Click, Select ‘run as Administrator’ and install.
NOTE: There is sometimes a lot of information at the printer’s website: manuals, how-to pages, and alerts for your printer. Be sure to take an extended look at what’s available.
==========================================================================
I hope this helps!

Print Cartridge Problem: Tricolor - HP Officejet J4680 All In One

I am seriously going to have an anxiety attack. I run a business from home & I HAVE to have a printer. I just spent $50 on new ink cartridges. My printer was working fine for the last week, and then tonight I have this error message:
Print cartridge problem: [Tri Color] . Refer to device documentation to troubleshoot
SO I reset the printer, shut it on and off, cleaned the cartridge and the printer, switched out the new cartridge with the old one ~ same problem. Over and over.
I called HP and they said that since my printer is out of warranty they can't help me unless I purchase a new warranty plan. What horrible customer service. This printer is a product of HP and I should be able to get help regardless of when the warranty expired.
This is so frustrating. If I can't get help, I think I would rather buy a new printer of a different brand instead of paying for a warranty after I just spent 50 bucks on ink. GRRR!

The page here has troubleshooting steps that may resolve your issue.

HP OfficeJet J4680 All-in-One getting Copy error message when copying from front panel.

I get this message when I try to copy from the front panel: Incorrect paper size. Load different media or change copy paper size settings. It does not matter what I am trying to copy. I have checked the paper size and media and they are set on what I want -- Letter size and plain paper. It started after I cleared a paper jam from the back of the copier. Hope someone can help me. Thanks Klb

I am also having the exact same problem. I tried resetting it back to default settings (power on, unplug power cord, hold the # and 3 buttons while plugging back up). However, this has not helped. So far the only solution I saw is to upgrade to another printer, but copying seems to be such a simple function for this problem to be so hard so solve. Unfortunately, I've seen no other answers, so upgrading may be my only option even though I have no other problems :-(

I have a officejet j4680 All-In-One printer. I cannot get the black ink cartridge to stay in place

The black ink cartridge will not stay in place it keeps popping out when I place the color ink cartridge first. When I take the color cartridge out and put the black ink cartridge in it stays.
Is there a trick to replacing the black ink cartridge?

Make sure it is a genuine HP cartridge. Take it out and clean the contact on the cartridge and in the printer. Try again.

HP Officejet 6310 All-in-One Problem

I tried to uninstall and reinstall my HP 6300 Printer but a few things are happening, When the uninstall feature tells me to empty the trash, I get a message that says HP Device Manager is in use. Did I really uninstall it because it's missing from the list of printers. Then I tried to reinstall it from the CD . It apparently runs through the setup function but the install command doesn't appear. Any ideas ?

HI,
If you can't empty the trash, and you see the device is in use dialog, open Activity Monitor (Applications/Utilities). Click the pop up menu top right in the window, select My Processes.
You can select the printer then click the red Force Quit button.

How do I print from my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 to my HP Officejet J468 All-in-One printer?

I just got a Samsung Galaxy 4 Tablet and I'm trying to figure out how to print to my HP OfficeJet J4680 All-in-One. Is there an app that I need to download?

Hi,
Unfortunately your printer spec indicates that the printer is not wireless compatabile so you won't be able to use any mobile apps with this printer.
I've included the list of web connected printers here.

Loud rat-at-tat-tat noise in my J4680 All-in-One

My HP Officejet J4680 All-in-One has suddenly developed an terrible LOUD rat-at-tat-tat sound. It sounds like something plastic ratcheting against something. It's so loud, it sounds like it's about to break.
It happens when I turn the printer on and also, when it gets ready to print and when it realigns. It prints OK - there is no paper jam and a Test Sheet prints OK. The sound seems to be coming from under the area where the cartriges sit when they are ready to print.
The print has has light use and not been abused.
HELP...Any ideas as to what is wrong an how to fix it?

I have the 4500 desktop & it just started making loud noises also the same as yours. Guess it's time for a new printer!
