Photosmart C3180 wont scan with Mountain Lion

Hello, I recently replaced a 2006 iMac using Lion with a mid 2010 model using 10.8.2. I'm very pleased but for the scanner/printer, a HP Photosmart C3180 which prints, but no longer scans. I am up to date with software. How can I make this work again? Many thanks, Art

Hello Barry,
I reset the printing system as suggested. I even shut down the computer and started it again. The same error message appeared. Curious as the Photosmart stll prints and photocopies.
The error message is at:

Curious as the Photosmart still prints and photocopies.

Hp photosmart c3180 wont work with windows 8 consumer preview

I have tried installing the printer but when i plug the usb in it just tells me that a printer is connected but I am unable to actually print any documents with it.

I've just managed to fix the problem. I think the issue was that when it was first plugged in via usb it didnt install correctly, so depsite recognising the printer it wouldnt allow me to print. I removed the device from 'printers and devices' and reinstalled the printer, it now works fine. thanks for your help.

HT3500 Problem printing from MacBook Air with Mountain Lion to HP Photosmart Premium C310a Printer

My HP Photosmart Premium C310a printer used to work fine with my MacBook Pro printer running Lion. I bought a new MacBook Air that comes of course with Mountain Lion. I added a new printer from the System Preferences. The printer will print sometimes. Sometimes the printer just restarts itself and then will print. I used to have an excellent HP Scan Utitlity. That is now gone and it is really hard to scan anything. I am beginning to think it is time to get rid of the HP Printer and buy another one that fully supports Mountain Lion. Can anyone help me here?

Hi - if you haven't done this already, HP support lists several download options including software for OS X for your printer - I would try that route since what comes with Mountain Lion doesn't seem to work - let me know how you make out

I have an HP Photosmart Premium C410. It worked great with Mountain Lion, but it doesn't with Mavericks. Can't install any printing s/w even though it's on the network. Anyone know why????

So, this post, as well written as it is, went totally ignored by the HP personnel that are supposedto be "helping" us poor novices? WOW! No wonder this crap gets thrown out of the house so often.
I have two HP network printers. An HP Officejet 4500 G510g-m, and a HP Photosmart Premium C410a, and they are the most unreliable pieces of "equipment" that I have in my network. This is absolutely trhe crappiest bunch of junk on the market. The only thing worse than these "devices" is the support from HP for them.
I also have a HP Photosmart C5280 AIO, and a Deskjet D2345 Printer. I have little, to no, problems with these two. The "flagships" of my network imaging are the worst, of the worst.

Connect my new Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion to my HP PhotoSmart B210

How can I connect my new MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion to my hp b210 printer? My printer is about 1.5 years old and works wirelessly just fine with my PC. I just switched to mac. The printer is supposed to be airprint compatible according to HP. HP has no software drivers for me to download. Instead they say to use Mac Software Update to get the software. However, there are no updates when I try that. I have tried adding the printer manually using it's IP address and can print a test page, but when I try to print using an application on the Mac it cannot find the printer or says the printer is in use. Help!!!

Are you sure it has no usb port?

HP Digital Filing function doesn't work with Mountain Lion....?!

My HP Officejet L7780 is an All-in-One with a fabulous feature of Direct Digital Filing allowing us to do a digital scan and filing into a folder on my Mac. It is operated entirely from the printer by a single button.
It works perfectly on my MBP with Snow Leopard.
On my new MBP with Mountain Lion this function does not work - (the printer cannot find the computer, or says it is not turned on or it is not accessible..) Applecare cannot explain it - the Apple Genius does not know how to fix it - HP washes their hands saying the printer is no longer Supported.....
I have a perfectly good printer/scanner/copier/fax - and i can still call a scan from my computer - but i can no longer send a file from the printer.
I've done all the software downloads, uninstalled and reinstalled all the MAC-OS and Printer software, 3 times - looked throughout the HP website for udpate drivers to work with OS10.8
Does anyone know how to fix it, please ?

Hi ShlomiL,
Thanks - i'm sure your answer is correct, it is totally consistent with the observed facts. but i ask myself WHY, oh WHY does Apple do such a short-sighted move to cut off legacy apps or legacy hardware forcing people either to not adopt their latest hardware/software, or waste totally good office equipment which is still perfectly workable.
As luck would have it, i have an MBP with OS10.6 for my business - i can do a Direct Digital file scan to it perfectly OK but my new Retina MBP which i use for all my personal finances, taxes etc is the one i want to use with the printer, at home.
I can get stuff from the scanner to my home MBP but have to do that poor workaround - and i refuse to be forced to trash a perfectly good 4 year old printer just to please some software re-designer.
Is there a work-around (hack ?) where i can download the old SMB file/driver into Mountain Lion and replace the SMBX version which comes with the new OS, please ?

I just figured out that my CanoScan won't work with Mountain Lion. Now what?

I have already upgraded to Mountain Lion. Then, I noticed that my scanner won't work. The person at Cannon said that the scanner drivers are not ready so that they will interface with Mountain Lion. He couldn't tell me how long it would be before Cannon caught up. Do I have to delete Mountain Lion to scan?

You're looking for solutions, so I'll let you know what you need to do:
1. If you have sufficient storage, you can make separate partitions for Mountain Lion and Lion.
2. Invest in a new hard drive, install Lion, and use it to do your scanning. I don't know how to do this, but it is possible.
3. You can wait for Canon to update their scanner software, but it's hard to tell when (or if) you will get it.
4. Often, third-party developers come up with scanning and printing software for unsupported devices, but given the recency of ML, there's no certainty when the software will come out - or what it will cost.
5. Scrap your current scanner, and replace it with a new machine.
I don't know how often you use your scanner, so it's hard to tell which you should do.

Scanner with Mountain Lion

I upgraded my OS and now my Canon LIDE 100 scanner won't work. I've downloaded (countless times, then deleted) what is suppposed to be the current driver, the one that works with OS X 8.2, and I've even worked via telephone with a Mac support person doing this. What downloads, however, is some sort of partial driver (and sometimes nothing, but when I get something it's this partial driver). The icon from the download shows a scanner, not the design for the scanner control panel. And when I open the icon, I don't get anything. The scanner itself will work manually and shows as connected to my Mac, but the image does not transfer, nor is there any means for specifying where the image is to go on my Mac.
Could someone tell me EITHER--
(a) a better place to get the scanner (than Canon's web site) or a way to download it that works,
OR
(b) what scanner does work with Mountain Lion.
I should add that my printer and backup hard drive work fine with OS X.8.2. Neither even required a new driver.
I'm an academic and need the scanner DAILY for my work. Not having it really impedes all sorts of ordinary activities.
Thanks1

If you have not already done so, delete your existing scanner in System Preferences > Print & Scan, and add it again. This ensures the proper drivers will be downloaded and installed. I think Apple would have already had you do this though.
As of Lion, all scanning functions that required proprietary software in the past are now incorporated natively in OS X. Your existing Canon scanner should still work.
You no longer require any specialized scanning utilities from Canon. Any such utility you already have may not work.
You can scan three ways:
Preview > Import from Scanner... (Preview is in your Applications folder.)
The Image Capture program, in your Applications folder
System Preferences > Print & Scan > (select your scanner) > Scan tab.
All your previous capability should still be available, though it may be hard to find.

Why does my iMac with Mountain Lion fail to print.

My iMac with Mountain Lion fails to find my 2 networked printers on 50% of the occasions I try to print. Even though I have earlier switched the iMac on, the only way I can get the iMac to see the printers is to restart the iMac? After that I have no more probs. Leaving the iMac on standby overnight doesn't seem to help as the problem frequently re-occurs the next day
The Brother Laserjet printer and iMac are cabled to my router, while the HP Photoprint uses wi-fi connection. There is a PC/Windows 7 also on the network which shares the printers.
I seem to get no help from the Printer utilities in system preferences.
Any suggestions what I need to do to eliminate this apparent breakdown in communication between the printers and my iMac.

Hello Mike17swr,
Thanks for the post. I'm not sure which model of Photosmart printer that you have connected, but I have included a link below with some great t-shooting steps to help identify the issue. Good Luck!

If you are using the Preview application and it is not letting you scan then have a look at this post.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19168365#19168365
You could also try using the Image Capture application to scan.
If you are using MP Navigator then you may need to update it to a later version.

Adobe Creative Cloud doen't open with Mountain Lion, is it compatible?

I have Minimac with OSX Server - can I reload it with Mountain Lion?

I have a minmac and runs OSX Server. I do need the server control so can I go ahead and restore with Mountain Lion?

Actually, when you install Mountain Lion client, the Lion version
of Server and its components will be quarantined as an incompatible
app and could then be disposed of.
So either delete before or delete after willl work.

Displaying the number of files in a folder with Mountain Lion?

I recently purchased a new iMac with Mountain Lion and I pretty much hate it. I have been a fan of just about EVERY update, so I am not resistant to change. I just think this is an inferior product. It is slow, clunky, and the update alerts remind me of everything that I hated about PCs. Meh.
Anyway, one of the main problems I have with it is that in previous versions, when I opened a folder, there was a little bit of information at the bottom of the folder that told me how many files were in that folder. As a photographer, I use this information ALL THE TIME. I realize I can click on the folder and "get info" to see how many files are in it...but this is extremely inefficient (especially considering how slow the brand new system is -- in spite of the 3.4 Hz processor and 16GB of RAM).
I can't seem to find anything in the preferences that allows me to change this. If there is a way, I would greatly appreciate it if someone would tell me how! Thank you!

How do I use the AirPlay Mirroing on my mac with Mountain Lion ?

How do I use the AirPlay Mirroing on my mac with Mountain Lion ?
I watched the video about Mountain Lion, but the airplay icon can't appear on my menu bar.
WHY ?

i have a MacBook Air (Early 2011)
and it doesn't support the airplay mirroring ,,, the only things that the failed to do is " MENTION IT "
it wouldn't hurt anyone if they just say it's limited to Late macs ,,,, i really wanted that feature and i updated my mac so i can watch movies on my HD screen ,,,,
i hope they made and update for it ,,, otherwise i have to wait another 4 months to get a new macbook pro
