Scanning on my c5280 all in one printer-scanner-copier

since purchasing my lap running windows 8.1 I have been unable to scan from my all in one printer to my pc. all it allows you to do is to scan the document to a memory card or reprint the image

Hello , Welcome to the HP Community. I'd like to help you with the issue you are having scanning on your Windows 8.1 system with your HP Photosmart C5280 All-in-One printer. I would suggest installing the full feature software for your product. Fortunately, the full software suite is still available for download for your Windows 8.1 operating system. You can download the software here: HP Photosmart C5200 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver If the issue persists, I suggest trying to install the printer using the Windows Update. You can find all of the steps to do that here (under Step Two: Method Two): HP Single-Function and Multifunction Printers - The Printer Does Not Print in Windows 8 and is Listed as 'Unknown' or 'Unspecified' or Appears with a Yellow Triangle in the Devices and Printers Folder If you're still unable to scan after installing the printer using Windows Update, try downloading the HP Scan and Capture app from the Windows Store. Please respond to let me know if these suggestions helped to resolve your issue!

Photosmart C5280 all-in-one Cartridges error message

hi, I have a Photosmart C5280 all-in-one. It's been good until today when I got an error message:

I've only ever used genuine HP cartridges. I have the correct ones in - 75XL tricolour and 74XL black.

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

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.

My HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One printer won´t print out documents, just pictures ...

My HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-One printer won´t print out documents, just pictures. I´ve used the printer, since it was new on the marked, and it has worked perfectly until a few weeks back. There is no problem printing out pictures, but only blank pages comes out when I´m printing out documents. Regardless if it is Word, Excel etc.
I´ve never used anything else than original cartridges, and the printer is used on Mac OS X 10.7.4. I´ve tried to reinstall the printer several times without any success.
Can anyone help me?

HP Photosmart C5280 All-in-one Alignment Page message keeps scrolling

The HP Photosmart C5280 All-in-one display shows "No printing Alignment Page" scrolling for the last 30 minutes.
Also, suddenly, this printer is no long listed in my control panel.
I installed new cartridges about a week ago and they worked fine until this week.

Hi there,
Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.

George, you helped me solve the problem I had with my printer. After I download the software from your website, not from the CD, it took some time to download the software and when I tried to reach you, you were gone. Anyhow, I really appreciate your patience and help that solve the problem and I was able to connect wirelessly with my desktop and laptop.
Thank you very much,

C6180 All In One Printer only prints 1 page per document after Windows 7 64 bit upgrade

I loaded the software for my Photosmart C6180 all-in-one printer as part of a computer upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7. My printer is networked and everyone else in the house can print to this printer with no problem. However, whenever I try to print a document I only am able to print the last page of a multiple page document. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the driver/software package multiple times to no avail.
Any suggestions? Thank you.

Looking for Print Server for HP Photosmart C4483 All-in-One Printer

I am looking for Print Servers that I can use with 'HP Photosmart C4483 All-in-One Printer' for both 'Printing and Scanning'. I'm not sure if this Printer is Network Ready or Network Capable, kindly advice.

Hello Merole
As I understand it you can print color everywhere but from MS Word 2013? If this is the case try the steps I have outlined below to see if they resolve your issue:
On the View tab, in the Color/Grayscale group, click Black and White.
On the Black and White tab, in the Change Selected Object group, click the settings that you want.
I hope this helps resolve your printing issue. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
