Installing HP Photosmart C4180 All in one Printer

I cannot get my printer to install either by CD or going to HP Software and Drivers Section. My computer had a virus and I had to have it repaired so they did a System Restore and now can't get printer to re-install. Can someone help me?

1. Unplug the USB Cable from the back of the printer.2. Download the full feature software HERE.3. Save downloaded software to your desktop.4. Run the software after it is successfully downloaded.5. Connect USB Cable when prompted. Let me know if that helps.

Installing HP Photosmart 7520 all in one printer software

My new HP Photosmart 7520 will not install on my Dell PC. I have the 32-bit Windows Vista OS. When installation begins I immediately get the error message: "Key not valid for use in specified state". I've tried installing the CD and the software from HP on-line, all several different ways. I 've used the troubleshooting download from HP but both methods do not solve the installation problem. I've temporarily disabled the firewall. I've done disk clean-up and defragmenting. I've restarted the PC more than a dozen times during my efforts. Even Microsoft Windows can't install all the software from updates - only the fax portion. If I can get past the point where the error message occurs I think the software will install.
I hesitate to try the Geek Squad. My experience with them is that most of the geeks aren't competent and it's a crap shoot getting assigned one that is. They will be my last resort.
Has anyone had this problem? Does anyone have a solution?

Hey @jimlg ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're unable to install the printer drivers for your Photosmart 7520 printer.
The error you have listed is a Windows error and not attributed to the printer software. You can confirm this with the fact the error occurs when trying to install from Windows update bypassing our installer.
You may want to try following the suggestion in this thread made by @Gemini02 which seems to help resolve the issue for some users experiencing the same problem: Re: key not valid for use in specified state.
Let me know if that helps.

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

Photosmart C4180 All-in-One. While printing it stopped and the power button is orange. Nothing works

Hi, I have a Photosmart C4180 All-in-One. So far it worked perfectly.
Tonight I had to print a few pages and right in the middle of it, it stopped leaving the page halfway.
Also the on/off button stays orange and there is an exclamation point underneath it.
I removed the page and turned off the power by removing the plug (pressing the on/off button didn't work).
While putting the plug back in, the power came on again... but the on/off button remains orange. Nothing works.
Does anybody recognize this problem and/or does anybody have a solution for this?
Thank you,
Dutchfox

Hi , I understand that you are having issues printing and scanning. I would be happy to help you.
Try and print a hardware self test on the printer to find out if it is a hardware or software issue.HP Photosmart (D110), Photosmart Wireless (B110), and Photosmart Ink Advantage (K510) e-All-in-One Printer Series - Printing a Network Configuration Page. Check to see if you still have a valid IPv4 address. If you have a valid IPv4 address for the printer then try and access the Embedded Web Server for the printer.
Type the IPv4 address into your web browser's address bar. (Safari)Did it load the web page? If you were able to access the printer's Embedded Web Server, please try the following steps: Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:Close all applications.On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.Double-click Disk Utility.Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions. Restart the computer.. Reset the Printing System: Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol. Click the Apple icon and then click System Preferences.Click Printers & Scanners.Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.Click OK to confirm the reset.Type the correct Name and Password.Click OK to reset the printing system.Then click the + sign to add the driver, highlight the printer. (you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name) Then click on the Add button. If you appreciate my efforts, please click the 'Thumbs up' button below. If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know. Thank You.

HP Photosmart C4180 All In One ... won't scan at all

According to HP, I have all the latest HP Photosmart C4180 "All In One" Drivers Installed.
According to PackardBell (my pc) it is all installed to Windows 7 with a 32 Bit Operating System.
The problem I get is that I start the P/C ... Then I opened up the HP "Solution Centre" on the desktop ...
It tells me "Your HP Photosmart C4100 series is ready"
In the middle of the screen it says "Start An Activity" then there is a button that says
"Scan Document" ... I press on this button and it seems to do nothing!!! ...
Please Help?? ... gooseman57

Hi there @gooseman57 !
Thanks for contacting the HP Forums!
From what I can see from your post, sound like the scanning software for the HP Photosmart C4180 is not responding. I should be able to provide you with a resolution for your issue.
A good place to start with an issue such as this, is to restart the computer and the printer. I would suggest trying a photo copy on the printer to ensure the printer hardware is OK!
If you continue to experience this problem I would then suggest uninstalling and reinstalling the HP drivers.
I have provided a link with instructions on uninstalling the printer software and another link to the HP Photosmart C4100 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver
There are also other ways of scanning we can explore. For example, you can scan using the program Microsoft Paint. All you need to do is:
1.Open PAINT
2.Go to "FILE" dropdown
3.Click: From scanner or camera
3.Choose your printer
4.Choose what type of scan you would like
5.Click SCAN
6.Click SAVE
Here is a link to a YouTube video for scanning using Microsoft Paint: Scan with your All-in-One Using Windows Paint (Windows 7)
Let me know if this was useful information and please post back with the results of your troubleshooting.

Hello RetiredHP,
Thanks for the post. Ok, we may have several options here. With ePrint, you can use the mobile app. to print from your printer from any location with your iPad or iPhone. If you have downloaded and installed the app., then check the below. If the ePrint app. is not showing (should look like icon below), check the link below these steps. The 2nd link provides some additional information. The key is to ensure that both your iPad and the printer are on the same network. Good Luck!
Figure 3: HP ePrint mobile app icon
If prompted, provide your iTunes account information, and then click Get. iTunes automatically installs the app on your mobile device.
Step two: Activate the mobile app (optional)
Why should I activate the mobile app?
If you activate, you unlock all the features of the HP ePrint mobile app. You can print to any HP ePrint-enabled printer (to which you have been given access) from anywhere your mobile device has Internet access. You can also print Microsoft Office documents and Web pages, or save the Web pages to print later. HP ePrint mobile app even helps you with HP printer setup and lets you monitor the status of your print jobs.
If you do not activate, you can still print directly to your supported Wi-Fi-enabled HP printer, but only when your mobile device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network. You can print photos, images, PDFs, and text files saved on your mobile device.
Use the following steps to activate the mobile app.
On your Apple device, tap the HP ePrinticon, and then tap Activate.
Type your email address in the Activate using your emailbox, and then tapActivate. The HP ePrint service sends you an email containing an Activation Code.
Check your email, and then write down the Activation Code sent by the HP ePrint service.
On the Apple device, press the Home button ( ) twice, and then tap HP ePrint.
Type the Activation Code into the box, and then tap Activate.
The app displays a message to confirm activation.

HP C4180 All-In-One printer

I have a simple network. One XP computer with HP C4180 All-In-One printer. One Mac Powerbook X 10.4. The two computers communicate via a wireless network.
Everything is setup fine. The Powerbook can see the XP printer via the Mac Printer Utility, but the Printer Description is not included in the pull-down list of computers.
I installed the HP C4180 Printer driver on the Mac, but the Printer Description is still not included in the pull-down list.
In the pull-down list, I can choose "Other...", and I am re-directed to a pop-up dialog to search for a file. I'm assuming that I am searching for a PPD file?
Did the Printer Driver install a PPD file somewhere on the MAC? Where is it? Will the PPD file work as a driver for a networked printer (or just a USB printer connected to the mac?)?
Thank you.

Hello Steve,
The drivers for the HP have been designed for direct USB connection and will automatically add the printer when it is connected. The drivers haven't been designed for this type of network connection, hence they don't appear under the HP list, nor will you be able to browse for a PPD.
What you need to do is use one of the included GIMP (Gutenprint) drivers to print via your network. The trick is finding which one will be compatible with the C4180. This could be just a case of trying several different ones, unless someone out there is aware of which driver would work best.
