Photosmart C4480 Printer Driver Errors
I have two problems:
1) Some files with complex images print OK in PDF, but on the C4480 have either a large black box on part of the image, or part of the image duplicated further down the page instead of the correct part
2) I cannot print some characters from MS Word Formulae. These are [ ] { }
Is this a driver error? Is there a fix?
I am very frustrated with my HP printers right now.
1) I have an HP Photosmart C4480 that has new ink and over 20 times has asked me to print alignment page, scan page and then still doesn't work! The ink doesn't print my documents well at all, I can't even read them unless its an alignment page!
2) I have a color HP 8500a and this printer also doesn't work except to eat all my paper and then spits out nothing. I am slammed and my two HP printers are on the brink!!! Why isn't there a phone number where an actual customer service person can be spoken with? I have time lines, am a small company and cant' belive how much I pay for my ink and printers only to have been struggling for weeks. What is up?

Using the Time Capsule to print wirelessly to HP Photosmart C4480 Printer
Does anyone know how to set-up the Time Capsule to make it print to a HP Photosmart C4480 Printer wirelessly from a Mac Mini (Mac OS X 10.5.8) and/or a MacBook Pro (10.4.11)?
I've tried everything, at least I think so. I followed the manual, the help from the discussion forums, from trial & error, and from the Apple Store Genius.When you say hooked them up.. what do you mean? As a wireless printer it should connect by wireless as a client to the TC.
But if you use apple names it might get lost. I would recommend you set all the wireless names to SMB standard.. short no spaces pure alphanumeric in the TC.
Also you might do better locking the wireless channels. -
Installed Firefox 4.0 after using Internet Explorer for many years. Everything works fine, except cannot scan on HP Photosmart C4480 printer/scanner/copier. Can copy and use printer, just cannot scan pictures in any more. HP help center will not open.
Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

I have been unable to add an HP Photosmart C4480 printer to my existing printer list using a USB connection. Software seems to be available and thought I had downloaded it, but doesn't work. Any suggestions?
Try deleting the printer, restarting, and trying software update again.
If that doesn't work, you can download the entire HP package here:

Unable to load HP printer driver-Error message!
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone can be of any assistance.
I recently purchased a HP Photosmart 2575 all-in-one printer and installed the necessary software, which said it was successfully installed. However, whenever I boot up the G3 I keep getting the following message 'Unable to load the printer drive, open the applications Get Info dialog and increase the preferred memory size. If this does not help try quitting all other applications or reinstalling the printer software.'
After clicking ok on this message about four times the message goes and I am able to print fine. Just wondering why this is happening. I have increased the memory allocation and also turnt on the virtual memory to see if this makes any difference, but all to no avail. I have also uninstalled and then reinstalled the software to see if this makes a difference, but that didn't help either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
PS: The printer is connected via ethernet on my router to enable me to print from another machineUse Techtool Lite or Trash*Desktop (TD may delete Finder comments )to rebuild your desktop w/extensions off. Does a better job than manually & you avoid all the finger gymnatics. You just have to hold down the shift key to shut off extensions.
Restart to turn the extensions back on again.
If you want to rebuild manually, see KB article http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=10182 Rebuilding Desktop File and Icon Recovery. -
Hello, We have multiple Server 2003 Print server and are working on testing a Server 2012 print server. We have run into an issue where a PRINTER (type 4, normal) works with our Windows 7 32 bit clients, Windows 8.1 64 bit clients and the
2012 R2 server, but when trying to install to a windows 7 64 bit clients using \\SERVER\PRINTER we are getting the above message. (The printer is not offered currently in the directory).
I have been scouring the Google and Bing and have yet to find a satisfactory description that matches this issue. Nor have I found other information that resolve this issue. Like, blaming this on the spooler or DLL fixes or Reg hacks (applied
on the client side).
Specifically, we have used the native 2012 R2 drivers "Ricoh Class Driver", "HP LaserJet 4240 PCL6 Class Driver" and "Xerox Phaser 6120 Class Driver"
If I use a Type 3 driver from Xerox I am able to print from the Windows 7 64 bit client to the print device, but I was hoping to get all of my clients onto 1 driver. I understand that I might be able to use some sort of WMI filtering in our GPO
deployments for the Windows 7 64 bit clients when we go live but this sort of <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="55af8faf-887d-4ea5-9032-7c14b199df0f" id="db4a1e65-db1b-4c94-bd84-20ffc96288ce">henky</gs>.
Please, provide some knowledge. Either a solution to this issue or acknowledgement that separate driver will be required. Thank You!!!!!Hi,
Firstly, please run this "Fix It" tool (Full mode) to reset the print splooer and driver:

Hp Photosmart 6520 printer assistant error

BUT when I do to the desktop option and then try and run the scanning option (using the printer assistant) it want to re-setup every time. I went on-line and downloaded the entire printer setup for windows 8.1 and still get the same error.
It was working fine and all of a sudden it started to happen and I have not loaded anything new lately.
Does anyone know how to fix it?

View Solution.Hello JonHayward.
I understand your concerns. It seems like your printer software has a conflict. Please follow these steps to try and resolve your issue:
Please uninstall your software from the Control Panel of your computer. I will provide an HP document here, to help perform these steps.
Next, clean your Temp Folder on your computer. I will provide a YouTube video on performing this step here.
Before installing the software onto your computer, please follow this HP document on Using Microsoft System Configuration. Only perform Figure 2, Figure 3 and figure 4, but exclude number 5 in this document. Do not perform any further steps.
Now, install the full feature software from the CD or from the HP website here. Please choose your correct operating system; either 32 bit or 64 bit.
Afterward, perform step 5 in the "Using Microsoft System Configuration" document. This will enable the normal start up.
Please inform me your troubleshooting steps.
Good luck.

Photosmart C309a Printer Driver for Windows 8.1
I have downloaded and uninstalled/reinstalled too many times to count and wasted 2 days plus.
Still it shows driver error or lack of connection with USB even though it searches and finds printer and serial number and runs test pages (print & scan).
But it will not run HP software suite ever since I have Windows 8.1. Coincidence?

Photosmart c4480 prints 2nd half of picture pink
I put new non-hp ink cartridges in--documents in black and white print fine, but pictures print the first part of the picture correctly but about halfway thru the printing becomes pink. I've tried cleaning and testing the print; things seem fine. I don't know what else to do. Can anyone steer me in the right direction?
Hello , Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that since installing non-genuine cartridges in your HP Photosmart C4480 All-in-One Printer you have been experiencing print quality issues when printing in colour ink. I would like to assist you today with resolving this print quality issue. Keep in mind that the ink in non-genuine or refilled cartridges are not tested within your machine. Therefore, HP cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-HP ink cartridges or refilled ink cartridges. For your records, QualityLogic, one of the world's foremost quality assurance organizations, tested the performance of HP inkjet print cartridges vs. remanufactured (refilled) brands. The results: original HP inkjet print cartridges far surpassed ink refills in both print quality and reliability. Nearly one out of every six refilled ink cartridges tested was dead on arrival or failed prematurely70% of refilled cartridges had some form of reliability problemCount on HP original ink cartridges for consistent, worry-free printing. You may think you're saving money on remanufactured or refilled ink cartridges, but in the long run, the cost of wasted time, ink, and paper can more than make up the difference. - Source With that being said, there are a few troubleshooting steps that I will have you perform to resolve this print quality issue. Please click here to access the print quality troubleshooting steps. Once the support document opens please complete the listed solutions to resolve this quality issue. Once troubleshooting is complete please test printing to confirm that the issue has been resolved. Should the issue persist, you may need to try Genuine HP cartridges in your product. Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. I look forward to hearing from you. Good luck! : ) -
Satellite L300 PSLB8C: printer driver error - NT 4.0 blocked
I have recently just brought a new Satellite L300 - PSLB8C 04P01X with vista home premium 64bit installed.
I am trying to install a driver for a printer (ML-2010). In the process, I have encountered these two errors:
'the printer driver is not compatible with a policy enabled on your computer that blocks NT 4.0 drivers'
I have also tried to install the driver in several other different ways, including updating the driver from the device manager and adding a printer from the control panel. Neither methods I have tried accepted the driver that was in the vista package for the ML-2010.
In addition, I encountered the same errors in the process.
Can you please help?
ThanksIf you search a little bit with Google, you will find a lot of links.
Many people have problems with this printer on Vista 64bit.
I have founded a short review via Google about this printer and found out, that for this printer is no 64bit driver available.
On the manufactures website I also did not find a Vista64 bit driver.
Only for Vista/2008 and XP 64bit.
Sorry but I think this is not possible to use this driver with Vista 64bit but in your case I would contact the manufacture of the printer. -
Sudden Canon CMFP Printer Driver Error?
My Canon MF8380 had been working fine with my macbook pro (printing wirelessly), and all of a sudden today I am getting an error that says:
"Canon CMFP Printer Driver: Printer is not responding. Check the printer power and connection, and then try sending printing job again."
I have tried the basics - turning off and on the printer, rebooting the macbook pro, printing from different applications, making sure Job Accounting is not checked in setup, seeing that the driver seems like it's acknowledged, checking and unchecking sharing prefs... Not versed enough to do much beond that.
Any advice?
Thanks in advance!Canon just released a new print driver that fixed my exact same error.

Hp photosmart 7350 Printer Driver for Windows 7
I can't seem to locate a Printer Driver for my HP photosmart 7350 printer. Hp states the driver for the HP deskjet 5550 should work, but it doesn't. I just bought a new computer and was hoping not to have to buy a new printer.
Hey farhanchd,
What is the full name of your HP Laserjet printer?
There are several models in the HP Laserjet 1100 series and would need to know the exact name to give you precise instructions.
I do know that the Laserjet 1160 has a driver available through the Windows Update system and may be the same for your printer. Please take a look at the information in the link provided below.

Unable to connect hp photosmart c4480 printer to wireless network
I just purchased a new laptop HP dv7-6169nr but I'm unable to connect to my HP printer Photosmart C4480. I'm connected by home linksys. I tried to set up connection by using "sharing" properties but I guess I must be doing something wrong because I'm able to find the printer but when I try to print, the computer cannot find the printer. Can anyone help me?
Hey there!
Do you have a different pc available? Or if you have a friend who has a laptop will do as well. Because that will answer your question if its an issue with your pc. If it doesnt work with the other pc and you've tried a diff cable, its a big possibility its with the usb port on the printer.
Now, if you dont know anybody with a diff pc, you might wanna check your firewall settings. Its also one reason why your pc cant detect the printer.
You can also disable the startup programs just to make sure its not an issue with any 3rd party software. Try to follow the steps in this link in how to disable them ( and make sure you re-enable them once your done )
