Photosmart c3180

I have purchased a tricolor ink cartridge 95 instead of 93, it cannot be returned, they look exactly the same, is there a way to use this anyway?

The C3180 will only work on 92, 93 and 99 cartridges. The 95 will not work. The printer will simply reject it.

HP Photosmart C3180 on USB Will Not Print After Update to 10.5.7

My HP Photosmart C3180 all-in-one printer (connected via USB) has worked fine up to now. Last night I installed the 10.5.7 update and now all the machine will print is a single line of text with the name of the Adobe postscript file, and then it continues to feed and output blank page after blank page without end.
I tried reinstalling my printer drivers. That did not fix it. It also keeps prompting me for an Adobe PDF file name each time I send a document to print.
I've tried printing PDFs, Word documents, web pages, etc., and I keep getting the same results.
Any suggestions about alternative drivers or are other people experiencing printer problems after the update?

I downloaded the 10.5.7 update on its own and reinstalled it. That seemed to fix the problem now. Don't use the "Check for Updates..." link in Finder.

HP Photosmart C3180 All-in-One printer -- SCANNER not working.

I have had this HP Photosmart C3180 All-in-One printer for a couple years and all is well. HOWEVER, the one function not working properly is SCANNING. I can print fine and copy fine. But when I go to scan something my power button flashes for about 10 seconds and then stops. Nothing happens, and nothing scans. HP said it was not the printer itself, but something to do with my operating system through Apple. I have the current 10.5.6 version of Leopard.
If I can get any help from others I'd appreciate it!

HP provided this link to software which resolved my scanning issue.

Photosmart C3180 and C4680 Scanning Problem with Mac OS X 10.9.5

I upgraded to OS X 10.9.5 and now can't scan using either Photosmart C3180 or C4680. I've repaired permissions and uninstalled and reinstalled printers in Printers and Scanners preferences. Scan no longer appears as an option in Printers and Scanners preferences, just print. Using Preview, "Import from scanner" in File menu is grayed out. Printing works fine on both printers. I can't find any updates to printer drivers on Apple Software Update.
This question was solved.

Photosmart c3180 windows 8.1

I have a Photosmart C3180 all in one printer. Worked fine with Windows 8. I installed Windows 8.1 (64 bits) and I cannot install the proper driver. A pop-up is telling me that the printer is not plugged. I did few steps for trying to correct the problem (unplugged, and pluged again, change the USB port, try to reinstall the driver, installed a HP Printer Install Wizard...) My C3180 still does not print (but I can scan with it...). Can I try with the Windows 8.1 32 bits driver? Or what esle can I do? Thanks!

HP Photosmart C3180 through USB won't connect (Windows 8 Embedded)

We have an HP Photosmart C3180 which works fine on either a laptop or other pc's with Windows 7, however when we try to install it on a Thin-client which has Windows 8 Embedded it can't find the printer when we use the installer package from the HP site. (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-110014-2&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
The installer will show the message to plug in the USB cable into the pc, but when we do it shows the connection is established but then after about 6 minutes it will fail. In the device manager we do get the printer shown as Other Device and shows that it needs to update its driver. (which wont work.)
I tried to manually add the driver after extracting the installer file but none of the inf. files allow me to install the correct driver. Or at least, thats what windows tells me
Is Windows 8 embedded not supported?

Hi @SHS_NL
I suspect your question would be better answered in the HP Enterprise Business Community, as Windows Embedded 8 Standard is a modular operating system designed for Enterprise use.
My technical expertise is with consumer products and software, I am sure the commercial folks would be happy to help if you re-post your question for them to answer. The HP Enterprise Business Community is an HP Forum designed for the Commercial and Enterprise customers to help one another. I am sure you will find some HP folks there to help too.
Click here to view the Printing and Digital Imaging. When the page opens you will see the option to 'Log in' or 'Register Now' on the right. The commercial forums are separate from the consumer boards, thus you will need to register if you don't already have a commercial account.
I don;t know if this would help at all but it is the best I can offer; Windows Embedded 8 Standard
Best of luck.

HP Photosmart c3180 Print Cartridge Cradle stuck on the left side

I have a HP Photosmart c3180. The ink cartridges were installed incorrectly. When I open the front to change the cartridges, the two cartridges do not move over to the right for me to remove and reinstall properly. All paper jams have been cleared. Any help?

Hello brummpa,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the Deskjet 5150 carriage is stuck on the right hand side and won't move. I will do my best to assist you! Please make sure this printer is plugged into a direct wall, not a surge protector. Next, try performing a hard reset on your printer.
After, performing this reset, I would try manually moving the carriage over to the left side. If this step doesn't work, then please follow this entire HP document on Paper Jam' Error Message Displays on the Computer.
Please post your results!

HP Photosmart C3180, is there a driver that will enable this printer to read sdhc cards

HP Photosmart C3180 all in one printer. is there a driver that will enable this printer to read SDHC cards.

This is a limitation of the USB hardware on the C3180 which will not read SDHC cards.
Maximum recommended memory card size: 1 GB (solid state only)

Error:-9672 when trying to add HP Photosmart C3180 printer.

Printer: HP Photosmart C3180
"An error occured while trying to add the selected printer. Error:-9672"
Printer works fine if connected directly to my iMac. But, through "Airport Extreme Base Station", I get the error.
Anyone with same printer having same problem? Anyone solutions?
iMac Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I found the same thing out yesterday and did the same solution.
One issue should be noted. The quality of the print is much worse since we are not using the correct print driver. Works fine for standard unimportant text printing, but really can't be used for printing photos.
Connect the printer directly to the computer USB and print a photograph using the real print driver, then connect wirelessly using the above method and print the same photo. The difference is dramatic.
It also seems to overuse black ink when hooked up through the Airport, and the printer light blinks for a while after printing is done.
Anyway, I plan on leaving it hooked up wirelessly for convenience sake, but when good quality is needed I will attach it directly to the USB port.
You can verify my findings and let others know if you find the same thing I found.
Good luck, and lets hope there are more compatible printers available in the future.

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:

HP Photosmart C3180 - No more printing

Hi,
I replaced the black inktcartridge 3 days ago. Printed a few pages without any problem 2 days ago. Now it doesn't work anymore ... Cleaned the printer as explained in previous posts. Still no printig. Set the options in 'only black printing'. No result ...
Any help would be welcome.
Thank you.
Theo

Welcome to the Forums, Theo
I saw your post about your black ink no longer printing on your Photosmart C3180. I understand you mentioned you cleaned the printer, but I am unsure if you have cleaned the actual ink cartridges, which I recommend.
Check Print Cartridge Light Blinking (Follow this guide)
You can also try this guide - Missing, Faded, or Dull Colors
I hope this helps!

Photosmart c3180 prints publisher 2007 multiple labels incorrectly

When printing with Publisher 2007 with the Multiple labels per page option, the first label prints fine but the next 5 has a mini border in the upper corner. When I print to a PDF printer, these do not show and the PDF image is perfect. this issue is with my Photosmart C3180. Drivers for this AllInOne is very up to date. Using Windows 7 Home Premium. I scanned the actual printout so you can see what I mean.

OK. Just installed MS Office 2010 with Publisher 2010 and it still does the same thing. It is either a simple publisher or printer setting. Also reinstalled the printer too. I know someone has a simple answer. Microsoft doesn't even understand my question.

HP Photosmart C3180 All In One Installation Problems

A while back I posted about problems with installing this printer, where the install cd v7.8.0 worked but the HP Set Up Assistant hung on the 2nd step. The software on the hp site for this printer (v7.9.1), did not work either, and froze mid install (couldn't even get to the set up assistant). HP support couldn't help me, repairing permissions didn't work, neither did resetting the printing system. I even tried updating cups and it didn't help either.
I found a way to get the printer to work by choosing HP Photosmart P1100 - Gimp-Print v5.0.0-beta2 in Printer Set Up Utility, but since I never completed the HP set up assistant, it came up every time I turned on the computer. But, I could still print.
Then one day I couldn't print, and when I went to Printer Set Up Utility, every driver I picked resulted in the "An error occured while trying to add the selected printer...server-error-service-unavailable", even the one that worked before (HP Photosmart P1100 - Gimp-Print v5.0.0-beta2)
What finally worked to get me back in the land of the printing was to do an archive and install of the OS and re-installing the latest OS update, then reinstalling the v7.9.1 software from the hp website. I have no idea how things got so messed up twice, but I thought I would share what finally worked just in case it helps someone else out there...
Mini Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1.42 GHz PowerPC G4

You are not alone.
I am having EXACTLY the same problem with my HP Photosmart 3210 All-in-One. Step two of the HP Setup Assistant stops me dead in my tracks. No printers are listed. Scan Utility just crashes upon opening. The System Profiler lists the printer in both the Printer section & the USB section. I installed the new HP (Universal) 7.9 dmg as an Update; worked fine until I tried to scan. It will do everything, except scan.
Most recently, I did a System Archive & Install (after many MANUAL* printer uninstalls & reinstalls of HP software....), then applied: MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.10PPC.dmg, (brings all up to date in one step).
And a fresh install of HP Universal 7.9.....no change. I did notice that one set of instructions (for installation) said not to have the printer connected until prompted by the software (which never happens). Another (most recent) said that the printer MUST be conected (and 'on') BEFORE beginning the software installation. Neither one worked. And Hp hasn't been able assist any further. If they come up with something, I will post.
Oh, I also tried installing only the Original software that came with the Mac & the 3210. Now that doesn't work either.
But I'm Still Hopeful,
Scott Smith
P.S. I am using a Powerbook G4....
*I have complete instructions on this process if you think it might help your situation.... (it removes all hp stuff & built-in Mac/HP driver stuff.)
