Problem printing HP photosmart C4580

Product: HP Photosmart C4580 All in One Printer
Operating System: Windows 7 x64
The printer will print pages through the printer test options however it will not print anything queued through windows.
I have installed the windows 7 x64 driver set available on this site.
I can scan from windows I just can not print.
The print job gets stuck in the queue with an incorrect page count.
I have restarted the spooler in windows.
The diagnostic tool provided by HP reports that all functions are good.
I can not get this printer to print from windows 7 any help would be appreciated

I am currently having the same problem and am very frustrated! I've recently installed a new router - everything worked perfectly before that. Now I cannot print through wireless or USB from my laptop even though I've gone through every recommendation I can find. Can anyone help me with this???!!!!!

Photosmart c4580 printing problems windows 7

I'm running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. My HP Photosmart C4580 prints 70% of the document correctly and the other 30% only prints the very top third of the characters on that line. Any idea for the fix when the printer is only printing what appears to be the "first pass" of the print-head for any given line in a document?

Hi there,
To make sure there are no software problems causing this try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:

It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

Why can't I setup my HP Photosmart C4580 Printer with my Macbook?

   Okay, first of all, I've got to say that this has to be one of the most troublesome pieces of computer hardware that I've ever had the misfortune of running across. The only thing that keeps me from going all "Office Space" on it, (as another frustrated user put it) is that I've had the printer since I got my Macbook in late 2008, and there have been huge stretches of time when it has worked more or less perfectly. However, each time I update my OS, or try to add the printer to a new computer, all **** breaks loose. This latest time has really taken the cake- as I've been messing with it consistently for several weeks and have not been able to use it at all.
   I guess it began when I upgraded to OS X Snow Leopard around April. Prior to this the wi-fi printing had worked fine, but after this upgrade for some reason I could only print with the USB connected. Then, about a month ago I upgraded to OS X Lion, and I'm still unable to get the wi-fi printing to work.
   The point I'm at now, is that I've downloaded what I believe to be the appropriate HP setup utility package, and went through that all the way through where it sets up the wireless functionality of the printer and it says to go to 'Print & Fax' in System Preferences and add the printer. So I do that, and I get to this point:
Setting up 'Photosmart C4500 series
[F559E3]...'
Software for this printer is available from Apple.
Would you like to download and install it?
... where I obivously click "Download and Install". At this point, I get a dialog that says "Finding software" for several minutes, and then says:
Setting up 'Photosmart C4500 series
[F559E3]...'
The software for this printer is currently unavailable.
Please contact the printer's manufacturer for the
latest software.
... at this point the only option is "Cancel", and when I click that, I'm left with no printers in my list of printers. Likewise, if I don't click "Download and Install on the previous screen, it cancels the setup.
This leads me to believe that it may actually be an issue with Apple instead of HP at this point, but I'm not sure. Likewise, I've tried other options such as setting up the printer by it's IP address and by something called an HP Jetdirect - Socket, but those methods were unfruitful.
I feel like I should note that, when I go to "Add Printer", I'm presented with a list of both the USB connected version of my printer, and the "Bonjour Multifunction" version (wi-fi). So it seems that the computer is having no trouble at least detecting the printer, which has been a problem for me in the past.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Despite HP's statement that 10.7 is supported for the Photosmart C4580, there are no drivers for this. I spoke to their Support Line and basically you need to buy a new printer. Wow! Wish I had known that before I upgraded to Lion.
HP does have a Trade-In and Trade-Up program. Sounds like the newer model printers will also handle the AirPrint for your iPhone and iPads.

Printing cards and labels on Photosmart C4580 printer

I couldn't find my particular problem using the search so I'm hoping for some answers here. I have a Photosmart C4580 printer connected to a Toshiba laptop running Vista with all the current updates. My problem is that I can't seem to get it to print on business card stock or addrress label stock. Here's the issue:
I use Word to create business cards to print onto business card stock. The instructions that came with the card stock say to do a test page on regular paper first to verify placement, which I do - everything looks perfect so I put a page of card stock in the feeder. The printer grabs the page and prints with the image offset towards the top of the page by about 1/4" so that the top of the card is above the edge of the cards. As the cards are repeated down the page, it shifts down slightly so that by the time it gets to the bottom of the page it's almost on the card, but still overlaps the top edge slightly. Printing onto regular paper works perfectly every time.
A similar thing happens printing address labels - again using Word to create the labels for either Avery 5267 or Avery 8161 label stock. On regular paper everything looks perfect, but feed a sheet of label stock in and the text is offest toward the top of the page. The last time I needed labels I was able to get it to print properly by printing one label at a time, then refeeding the page and printing the next one, then repeating until each label on the page was printed. When you're printing several pages of labels that takes a lot of time!
Is there something I need to do to get this printer to print cards and labels?

@ deblois 1089 - I will need a little more information to help out. What are the specifications of the labels? Do you have the measurements and the weight of the paper type? Thanks

Photosmart C4580 won't print - push a button on printer it shuts down

The Photosmart C4580 has been reluctant lately to print anything at all. The documents sit in the spooler but won't print.
I've searched for this problem here and haven't seen same printer, same issue and solution, so here goes...
Dell Dimension 3000
Win XP Pro Service Pack 3
I've had this printer since February 2009. I've set it up on the USB port.
Three weeks ago I upgraded the memory from twin 256 module setup to twin 512 using Dell products. Obviously, I took the PC apart, cleaned the dust bunnies, installed the memory and everything worked great after rebooting - including the printer.
About two weeks ago a carriage jam error popped up. It wasn't jammed but I pulled the ink, reset them and restarted the printer. It worked fine - no noises, no jams, nothing.
Yesterday the printer quit printing at all. It said documents are printing but they just sat in the queue. I've done:
1. HP Solution Center guided solution
(when it asks to hit the Cancel Button and Start Copy Color buttons to print Self Test, the printer shuts down every time)
2. Windows troubleshooter
3. The HP Support solution online
4. Reinstalled printer using original CD
5. Reinstalled using the latest install software from HP online.
*After the latest reinstall, where the program asks you to print a test photo page, it did not print. HOWEVER, after I shut down and restarted the printer, that photo printed! But I can't print anything else since.
Thanks for any help you may be able to provide.

Has anyone been sucessfully printing to an HP Photosmart c4580? If so, can you point me in the right direction?

Hello, I am trying to figure out if is possible to print from an IPAD2 to an Hp Photosmart c4580 series printer. I have run across all kinds of advice pointing to a multiple of apps (all cost $) but need to be sure I can complete the connection prior to purchasing. HP dos not list this unit as supporting AirPrint, and pimps an app of their own. Anyone solved this problem?

There was a cool new device discussed on Engadget a week or so ago. Lantronix is creating a print server that stands between Bonjour(iOS) devices and standard non-Bonjour printers. Here are links on it.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/13/xprintserver-offers-up-wireless-printing-for- ios-devices-makes/#continued
http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/mobile-print-servers/xprintserver.html
As i understood the article it would cost about $100...this may not be right for your specific use case, and it won't be available to 1st quarter 2012, but you might find it interesting. If you are on a home network AirPrint works great, in an enterprise environment, you have to fiddle a bit with the access points and network infrastructure to allow mDNS(Bonjour) packets to move back and forth.

I also discovered that the windows xp is fully printing whole page through wireless printing, how to slove the problem when i use eindow 7 through wireless printing?
OS: Windows 7 -64 bit

How can this be a firewall issue when it prints all the other pages just cuts off half the last page printed?

I have a h p photosmart c4580 and want to print from my apple ipad with ios 6.1 operating system.

Hi,
The Photosmart C4580 does not support AirPrint.
Download and use the HP ePrint mobile app to print from your iPad:

HP printer Photosmart C4580

the problem has surfaced since I changed from BT to Plusnet. the printer will not be recongised. can print using a adhoc wired system only. have tried the error reinstallment many times but always have this --"Key not valid for use in specified state"
Also when trying to download, two messages 1) device not switched on,or not required for your computer.
the problem might be that the new router is 208.ll n and my computer is wireless 208.llb/g, the manufacture of the new router states that therouter is back compatable with the older system.

Thanks for replying PapaNoel
I will recommend that you connect the printer to your wireless network following my colleague @Sunshyn2005 's instructions in this Re: cannot configure photosmart c4580 to connect to my wireless network thread/post.
Once the printer is connected to the wireless network, I'd recommend temporarily disabling any anti-virus you may have running (this Disabling and Re-enabling Your Firewall Software in Windows document has some tips for firewalls) and re-download the software from HP's website, or from the following link: HP Photosmart C4500 All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Driver.
These steps may take you a bit, so just take your time and let me know how everything goes for you

IMac printing problem with HP Photosmart 7150

I've just bought a 27 inch iMac and I'm having problems printing out of iPhoto 9. I select for eg, 4 X photos per page and it prints about 10% of the page before spitting it out. I've downloaded the latest driver for my HP Photosmart 7150 printer (Gutenprint v5.2.5) but still no good.
The print monitor window always says it is printing Page 1 7%. Weird.
Any ideas?? Thanks in advance.
Dan

I've got the same problem on my MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard and Gutenprint 5.2.5 when printing on the 7150 - it prints about 10% (and skewed at that) and spits out the page. This occurs when printing from any app.
I am only able to print in draft mode which is not suitable for anything I need to do.
I realize this printer is no longer officially supported, but any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Mike.

10.6.8 Printing problem with HP Photosmart premium C310 printer

I hvae a Photosmart Premium C310 printer which is connected wirelessly to my network. I also have a Mac Pro which is connected to the same network by ethernet cable. Up until I updated to OS10.6.8 everything worked fine. After that I found that when I restated the printer I could see it for a short time under the printer list but then it seems to "time out" and I can no longer print to it within a couple of minutes from my Mac Pro. When I restart the printer I can also see its embedded web page again for a few minutes but then it becomes not visble.
I also own a Macbook pro and two iphones and an ipod touch and all these wireless devices have no problem with seeing the printer and printing to it at any time. The Macbook Pro is also updated to 10.6.8 and works fine with this printer.
It would seem that the issue is not with wireless devices but with a wired device printing to this wireless printer even though it is on the same network and on the same subnet mask. All that has changed between working fine last week and not being recognised this week is an update to OS10.6.8
I have restarted the Mac Pro, reinstalled the latest HP software and reset the printers wireless setup but this makes no difference.
Is this a similar issue to what others have been reporting about a bug with printing under 10.6.8 or possibly something else. Any help here would be appreciated as I have no way of printing from my Mac Pro right now.

Pengtao, I have plugged my Macbook Pro into the network (with Airport off) and I can no longer reach the Photosmart printer. Remove the cable and go wireless and the Macbook Pro can reach the printer again. I have installed the photosmart printer software under Windows 7 using Parallels on my Mac Pro and have no problems finding the Photosmart printer from it.
To make matters worse I have bought a new Laserjet M1536 today and install it on my network. Again I get the same issues. I can print to it from any wireless device on the network but cannot reach it on any wired device on the network.Switch the printer off and on and I can see it and print to it for about a minute then it becomes "offline" to my Mac Pro
Given that it works fine under Windows 7 from a Mac Pro I have to conclude that the issue must be OSX 10.6.8 and nothing else as everything worked fine before the upgrade. I have turned all device off and on , checked all cable connections and also uninstalled and reinstalled all printer drivers on the Mac Pro and cannot get it working. Any advice you may have that may solve the problem beyond it being an OSX issue will be greatly welcomed.

HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one problem printing. Ink System Failure has failed unable to copy--

I'm having a problem printing on my HP Photosmart C7280 All-In-One. The following message is what came up on the printer screen: Ink System Failure has failed unable to copy, receive faxes or print. Refer to printer documentation Error O.cl9a0007.

Hey Spider! First off welcome to the forum.
I would recommend removing all the ink cartridges, unplugging the USB cable from the computer that connects to the printer, and then shutting the printer off completely by removing the power cord. Then restart your computer. Turn the printer back on but leave it disconnected from the computer. After it has finished its power on cycle go ahead and insert the ink cartridges back into the printer and be sure to seat them properly.
After you have all the cartridges back in the printer properly then connect it to the computer. See if this resolves the issue. If not post back with any findings.
Thanks,
SeanS

My HP Photosmart C4580 no longer supported by HP or Apple. How can I reinstall printer driver?

I uninstalled my HP Photosmart C4580 thinking I could reinstall from the CD that came with it only to find out that the CD doesn't cover Mavericks. HP and Apple no longer support this printer. Suggestions?

This document says the C4500 series driver is available for automatic download/install when you add the printer in Print & Scan prefs:
OS X: Printer and scanner software available for download
Have you tried adding it yet?
PS - The CD is almost always outdated by the time you buy the printer. Don't bother with the CD.

HT4356 I checked everything out and had no problem printing from IPAD/MINI using the HP Photosmart 6520 printer, but the next day, using same application, my HP did not show, but was looking for the AirPrint Printer, what am I doing wrong?

Using IPAD2, IPAD MINi, HP photosmartE6520 set up on wireless network. No problem printing from my devices, but the following day, it is looking for AirPrint printer, why?

Hello lenc48,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having a few issues when it comes to printing from your mac as well as some two sided printing issues.
I do have a some suggestions that we can try in the attempt to troubleshoot this issue.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
Please remove the usb cable (if using wireless, disregard this step) from the printer and from the Mac and leave it disconnected until further notice.
Please click on the first link that will give you instructions on Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once the software has been removed, please disable any anti virus protection that you may have on the Mac.
The next step we are going to take is downloading the HP Photosmart 6520 e-All-in-One Printer Full Feature Software and Drivers - OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
The installation will prompt you when to connect the usb cable (You will see a prompt for a wireless connection as well if that is the connection type you would like to use) so please do not connect the cable until prompted to do so.
If you are still having issues, feel free to write me back or you can contact HP Total care direct. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
Thanks for your time.

Problem printing scanned PDF document from iPad to HP Photosmart Plus B209a

Hi,
I'd like to report a problem printing a scanned PDF document from iPad via HP ePrint application to my HP Photosmart Plus B209a printer. The document was sent to the printer without any issue. However, the printer only prints out the
screenshot image in the center of the PDF page, and the image is enlarged and rotated to fit in an A4 paper. The rest of the document is simply ignored by the printer. The document with the problem can be downloaded in the link below:
Download PDF document with the problem
What could be wrong? Thank you in advance!

Thanks for the reply.
I received the document from my teacher, so I don't know what program she used to scan it.
I tried to print the document directly from my PC which works fine though, so I guess the document is OK.
My HP printer is an old model which doesn't support eprint or air print, so I used the eprint application on iOS to print the document. I tried both color and black/white which gave me the same result: only the center screenshot image is printed out, and the image is enlarged and rotated to fit an A4 paper, the rest of the document is just ignored.
What do you mean by saving it as a document?
