Unwanted multiple sheet printing - Photosmart C4580

Hi All
I have a new C4580 installed and working, scans great, prints great, all set up wireless via my Netgear router. Only trouble is whenever I print I get 3 of everything. Checked set up in printing prefernces etc all set to one copy etc etc so should only print the one page (one page doc). Any help ideas gratefully recieved.
Thanks

@ 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

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

I am trying to connect my lap top to my HP Photosmart C4580. I have lost the software disk .

I have a Toshiba Satellite pro and a HP printer Photosmart C4580 which i purchased together in Harvey Norman Belfast. on 19/07/09. I have never been able to use the Blue tooth facility. However i now cannot print e-mails from my Lap top to printer via the connection cable or wirelessly. I have lost the disc that i got with my printer can you help Please. Thank you.

Hello there! Welcome to the forums @ronnie123456
I understand you no longer have the installation disk for your Photosmart C4580, and that is okay!
Here is the link where you can download the printer driver and software:
HP Photosmart C4580 All-in-One Printer Drivers
Also, if you cannot print your email after installing the printer, try printing from another web browser and that might help!
If you need any further assistance, include your operating system, the web browser(s) you have tried and any other details that I might need to investigate the problem further for you!
Have a wonderful day

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?

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.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.

How to print large jpeg image on multiple sheets of paper?

I have aa Photosmart 8250 and I need to print a large jpeg photo of a wiring harness onto multiple sheets of letter size paper for clarity sake. I need the large image printed os say 8 sheets of paper in landscape mode so when you combine the sheets you have a large and accurate image. Can this be done under windows 7 64 bit? I seem to recall under XP with the HP software that you could do this, I need to do this now, under windows 7 64 bit if possible. Thanks in advance.

You can use an alternate driver with the features you want. Download the Officejet 8500 driver from HP here. When the installer prompts you to connect the printer select the checkbox for unable to select the device. After the driver has been installed click Start, Devices and Printers, right click on your Photosmart 8250 and select Printer Properties, Ports and find which port the 8250 is using. Note this for later. Next cancel this and click Add a Printer. Select the same port as you found previously for the Photosmart 8250, Next, then choose HP and the HP Officejet Pro 8500. Print a test page when you are done to verify the printer is working properly with the new driver. You can then print to this instance of printer and select Poster Printing in the main page from 2x2 sheets up to 5x5 sheets.

Printing Questions - "Poster" - One image on multiple sheet of paper (to create an enlargement)

Hello,
Tried to find this in the archives - apologies if this has already been answered. Kindly reply with that link and I won't ask you to chew your cabbage twice...
On my older PC, I used to be able to print an image in "poster" mode, which essentially let me print and enlarge an image by printing it across multiple pages (e.g. 4, 6, 9 pages.) Since I'm a painter, this was an easy way for me to print out an image - and enlarge it - from which I could tape the pages together to create the enlargement. I then could use that rough poster-enlargement-on-multiple-sheets-of-paper to trace on to my canvas. (And my photographer friends have already pointed out the ease of which to actually print poster size images, but I don't need that expense or hassle for my purposes. I basically want an enlargement to trace onto a larger size canvas to paint on.)
Since I just got a new Mac, I've downloaded PSE9 Mac trial, but can't for the life of me figure out how to replicate what I used to do on my PC, granted with an older version of PSE.
Hoping this makes sense - and hoping against hope that someone can nudge me in the right direction...
Thanks!
Greg
BTW - IF this does make sense, AND I can do on the Mac or the newer version of PSE - anybody got an idea for a workaround? (Short of buying PS CS5...?)

Juergen,
Thanks so much! Of course you're right - and this does the job perfectly! Thank you so much for the prompt replay, explained clearly, and very helpful! You've really helped me move onto items which I've really wanted to do!
Very gratefully,
Greg

How can i print multiple sheets at the same time

im trying to print multiple sheets out of a particular folder in numbers. Cant i just select all and print? When I try to the message that appears is that there is an error printing

If I guess correctly, you are trying to print thru a printer icon installed on the Desktop.
At last on my machine, iWork applications aren't compatible with this scheme.
Here is a script which may be useful.

Enregistrer le script en tant qu'application : print_iWork.app

Glisser déposer des icônes de documents iWork sur celle du script pour imprimer ceux-ci.

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.

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.

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.

How to Print Large PDF on multiple sheets

I want to print a file 41" x 55" on multiple sheets of paper, how do i accomplish this? I have tried and i only get one page with only one small section of my painting/drawing. Need help!

Can your printer driver tile pages?
I can suggest that you place divide (slice) the file and place each component on a page in a page layout document (InDesign, XPress).

How to print multiple sheets per page?

Please advise how, if it is possible, to print multiple sheets per page with Acrobat 7.0 Pro. I have a PDF that's about 24" x 60". I'd like to make a "poor man's poster" by printing on several pages and taping them together -- sort of like Microsoft's "Fit to <x pages> tall by <y pages> wide" feature. Can this be done with Acrobat 7.0 Pro? Thanks. -Kurt

That is typically a function of the print driver for Acrobat. One way to do it is to print to a new PDF and select the printer properties and select multi-up. Bill

How do I get AI to print a large image across multiple sheets of paper?

I'm pretty innexperienced with AI newer than a decade ago. Anticipating that the software would be able to print Artboards as sheets, I created my image to cover more than one artboard.
I've read various related help topics and I still can't get one image to print over multiple sheets without space between: i.e. borderless.
I begin by choosing a 8.5 x 11 borderless in media but it still prints with a border even with "Don't scale" or "Fit to Page" turned on.
I tried tiling with some trepidation because it requires "Ignore Artboards" to be on and wants to reorient the paper the other way if on auto-rotate. If I specifically specify landscape orientation that seems to fix the problem except for one thing: it still prints with borders! If I tile "Imageable Areas" which seems silly since the printer is perfectly capable of printing borderless, it will have to scale the image down a bit, which I don't want.
There are settings for "bleed" and "overlap" but those don't seem to be what I'm looking for and I don't need to waste more ink.

Try using the document setup from the file menu. You can set up the artboards to any size you want and cal include a negative gutter which will meant that with proper spacing you can get the file to print with the needed overlap and not have to use the borderless setting. Most borderless printers actually expand the print 1 or 2 percent to make sure that it goes beyond the paper. You might not want to do that.
