Photosmart 7280 All-in-One makes a weird squeeky noise when photo printing. Why?

Since purchase it has made this squeeky noise when printing a picture using the photo tray (4 x 6 w/tab). When the photo paper (or photo tray?) is going through to begin the print job. Once the photo paper gets to that point of printing the photo, I no longer hear that squeeky sound.
I've looked, searched and cleaned every where I dare to but it still makes that sound. I've had this printer for two plus years and the photo's turn out just fine as well as any other type print/copy functions I use.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

HP C4180 all-in-one, Windows Vista 64-bit, purple in photo prints out looking like blue

Driving me crazy. School colors are purple and white. Anytime I print a photo of our football team, the purple turns out blue. HELP!!

I have the same freaking problem and I have this problem on two of the 3 computers I have it installed on. One of the computers is a 64 bit windows 7 Ultimate and the other is 32 bit Windows 7 Ultimate. I have a feeling that it is caused by uninstalling and reinstalling to many times or using a recovery software program, and as I know HP doesn't have a uninstall utility for the C309a series printer that uninstall everything, including the registry keys. And I'll bet that is where the problem lies. If anyone know a fix for this problem PLEASE LET US KNOW!

Unable to access HP Photosmart 7520e All-in-One Embedded Web Service

My HP Photosmart 7520e all-in-one is already connected wirelessly, but when I try to access it on the web, by typing in the ip address, it keeps asking for a user name and password. I assumed it is the SSID and Network Key for my wireless router, but it doesn't work when I enter it. There are no directions on how to set this up, find out this info, change it or anything. And, after 3 unsuccessful attempts I am locked out. This is assinine. I need help but can't find an answer anywhere regarding this issue!
This question was solved.

Hi ronalds173,
I see that you are having some login issues with the Photosmart 7520 and have been locked out as result. I believe I know the area you are trying to access, but to make sure, are you taking the I.P address that is assigned to the printer and entering that into the address bar in your web browser?
If so, this login would not be the SSID & password for your router, unless you made it that. This password can be reset by restoring the network defaults on the printer.
To do that, touch Wrench icon in right upper corner and then Wireless Menu. Touch Restore Network Defaults and then confirm. Once restored, you will need to run the Wireless Setup Wizard on the printer.
Try accessing the page again. Let me know if this resolved your issue.
Cheers,
JERENDS

C309a Photosmart Premium All-in-one keeps chiming repeatedly.

Product: HP Photosmart Premium All-in-one Fax C309a
Lately, whenever we turn the printer on, it chimes repeatedly. In the past, it's only just chimed once to confirm it's on. It would also chime whenever it finished printing something. However... now it does it 3-5 times for each activity... which is rather odd an annoying. The only thing I can see that it's possibly related to is the black ink showing a 'lower level' of ink. It's not even dry. But, I think it's rather over-kill for the prolific chiming to be related to a half-empty ink cartridge.
I went ahead and turned off the sound effects volume on the printer itself, for the meantime anyway. But, does anyone else know what's going on, or do they know why it would do that?

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @mrsddavis ,
I read your post about the troubles you're having with the printer telling you to "remove a USB device", when you do not have a USB device plugged into the unit. I have a couple suggestions that I hope will help you. You may have tried all of the steps to my first idea, if so move on to the second one. Also, the second step will be in a private message to you, as it cannot be posted publicly. In regards to the ADF not working, let me know what the problem is, for example, will it pull in paper and then jam, or will it not pull paper in at all? Let me know so I can research that problem for you.
If you are not sure how to check your forum messages this post, has instructions.
Power reset:
Press the Power button to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 30 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
Ensure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help greatly.
Good luck, I hope this helps

Blasted printer problems - HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One

Bought a spanking new HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One and installed the drivers. When running the HP Setup Assistant it had a blank list to select from.
I came across this tip from macosxhints.com
"If your system drive was set up with a case-sensitive HFS file system, HP's All-in-One installer will fail when it gets to the HP Setup Assistant -- it will ask you to "Select Device" and give you an empty list. To get the installer to work, you have to install it on a case-insensitive file system. I've confirmed this with version 7.9.1 of the PhotoSmart C6100 series and version 7.9 of the Officejet 7310 series drivers.
The solution? The only one I've found is to re-format and install on a file system that is not case sensitive. After hearing back from HP's tech support, they confirmed the problem and the solution:
Thank you for contacting HP Total Care.
The software for the Photosmart C6180 is not supported on a case sensitive partition. You will have to install the drivers on a case-insensitive partition.
I only wish they had mentioned that anywhere in the online troubleshooting section. Sigh." http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070623004646642
Can someone point me in the direction of:
"Setting up a case-insensitive partition"
thanks!

iPhone 4 print coupons from app Grocery ID directly to my HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One BUT the iPhone cannot find the wifi printer when I try to print from email or Safari or Contacts, etc.
Why doesn't HP list this printer in the approved list? They have the HP Officejet listed and many photosmart printers as well.

No, its not that easy. AirPrint is a "driverless" print environment and must have hardware and firmware support in the printer to be able to print. Other apps are more of a traditional driver-based print apps and can find and print to the printer on a network without it having to support AirPrint.

My macbook air is making a weird squealing noise when charging.

Hi, recently i have noticed that my macbook air has started to make a weird squealing noise when charging. This noise is feint, though it's clearly audible, and is quite annoying when i am using my mac for things like word processing and internet browsing. It only makes this noise when the charger is plugged in, and not when it is running off battery power. Whats also worth noting is that whenever i scroll up or down a page in safari, or chome, the noise changes slightly. Again this only happens when the mba is plugged in.

hi, right now i am using my macbook air off the battery, and everything seems to be running ok. unfortunantly this is my first mac, so i dont have any other chargers lying around that i could test it with. However i shall definately see about taking it to the genius bar. its a bit of a pain, seeing as it's only been ten days since i purchased the **** thing.

Hi,
Given your ptinter supports print from Android, you need an app called HP ePrint. Please use Google Store to install it:

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

Since I installed Mountain Lion operating system, I cannot print. I have a HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one printer. I get a message when I try to update the software "Server not available The software update service is currently not available."

After installing Mountain Lion, my printer doesn't work. I know it is connected as it shows up, The message is:
"The printer software was installed incorrectly. Please reinstall the software for this printer or conact the anufacturer for assistance."
I used the disk that came with the printer as when I go to the HP site, it tells me that Apple has the drivers needed. I unistalled the printer and reistalled. Previously, I just went to the HP website an everything worked fine for drivers, program, etc. I never had to use the CD that came with the printer. My printer is: HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one, it is wireless, but I even took the computer and plugged it into the printer to make sure that everything was connected. Can someone please help me to get this working,
Thank you,

HP Photosmart Premium all-in-one C410a. The photos are coming out dark, what is happening?

The photos are dark. I am sending the photos wireless from my Toshiba Netbook NB205-N325BL with Window 7 Starter to my HP Photosmart Premium all-in-one C410a. The photos are dark when i send the photo from my iPhone 3Gs too. I have changed out the ink cartridges to see if that was the problem since the ink cartridges were low.
I have recently purchase this printer. I recently had a Photosmart All-in-one C7280 and was very happy with it until it stopped working with Win 7.
Your help is appreciated.
thank you,
Paula

Laura,
There are quite a few trouble shooting steps in my [FAQ|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2658560&tstart=0]. But to cut to the chase, first make sure you can run one of the Apps on the Printer and its getting content. Then make sure the firmware is the latest (Tools->Web->Automatic Updates->Check for Product Updates). Then power cycle everything (Router, Printer, iOS device). If it's still not working, more likely then not its a problem with your wireless router and Bonjour, so post back what brand of router you have, the model, and how your network is configured.
Just trying to help.

View Solution.

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.
