Windows 7 and HP Photosmart C7280

I am replacing a laptop with xp with a laptop with Windows 7. Cannot get my HP Photosmart C7280 to print wirelessly from the new laptop Windows 7. The printer disk says it is not supported by Windows 7 - what do I do?

That's because there are no Windows 7 drivers on your disc. It was likely printed before Win7 was released.

HP Photosmart C7280 All in One installation problems with windows 8.1

Hi,
I have a HP Photosmart C7280 All in One printer which was working fine on wifi with Windows 8. A few days ago I got the prompt to upgrade to 8.1. Following this the printer would not work at all, and I got prompt/warning message to re-install the printer software. So I went to the control panel and removed all the old HP software, and tried to re-install the latest one from the HP site...to no avail.
I have tried doing this a number of ways - manual download, downloading the HP software that determines what software is required, then downloads it for you....
It seems to start unpacking ok, but then gets stuck on 'Checking System' and never progresses to do anything else. Help!

I have a HP Pavilion dv 2000 laptop and an HP Photosmart C7280 wireless printer.

I have an HP Pavilllion dv2000 laptop and an HP Photosmart C7280 wireless printer. They have worked well together until I reformatted and added Windows 7 on the laptop. I went online and downloaded the Windows 7 Printer Wizard. It recognizes my printer and says it has been installed. I have followed their directions and plugged USB cable into printer from laptop. It prints that way. How can I get this to print wirelessly?

HP Photosmart c7280 All-in-One Mac 10.7.1 (Lion) the "Two-Sided" option is grayed and cannot use?

I have a HP Photosmart c7280 All-in-One printer and a Macbook Air that runs the Lion operating system (10.7.1).
I am trying and needing to print via the "Two-sided" option that appears under the "Layout" pull down tab option, however, the "Two-Sided" option appears to be greyed out as if you are not allowed to use it. I am sure that that is not the case I just do not know how to unlock it yet I guess?
I just made sure that all of my software was up to date and it is currently.
Everything else is perfect about the printer and I have been using it for years, so thank you! I would just like to know what on earth I am doing wrong or need to do to unlock that "Two-sided" setting, so I do not waste a ton of paper! Thanks again!
Sincerely,
DAP413

Hi DAP413,
In order to actiate the Two-Sided duplex accessory, you have to enable it from the printer settings:
-Enter System Preferences > Print & Scan
-Double click the Photosmart printer name to open the Print Queue.
-Click the Printer Setup button
-Click the Driver tab and make sure the Two-Sided Printing Accessory option is checked.

Hp photosmart C7280 says "stopped" in print queue and won't print!

I just bought an hp photosmart C7280 today. It was a pretty simple setup with the actual printer and network and all. i download the updated driver from the hp website and all seemed kosher there too. now i click "print" and on the print queue page it says "stopped" and won't print!
ahhh please help? is this a good printer with macs anyways? it seemed kinda loud during the setup...

I too have gone through most of the problems described here but have finally been able to get the c7280 working properly, yet I'm still not very happy with the solution.
For connectivity reasons, I wanted to connect the aio to my network via ethernet cable directly to my router. While my computers will access the network wirelessly, I wanted the printer to have a solid connection. Unfortunately, I was never (and still can't) get it to work properly using this connection. What finally did work was using the wireless connection in the printer to connect to the network.
Why this would work wirelessly and not while directly connected is something no one has been able to explain. I still have the printer right next to my wireless router to interference doesn't seem to be a problem and it seems fast enough, but the fact that I can't get it working properly with a "less technically challenged" method, really bothers me. What if I didn't have a wireless network? While wireless is great, if there was an easy solution to have all my desktops connected via ethernet, I'd prefer it (easy being not having a bunch a cables around and perhaps a pre-wired network in my home!)
Anyway, I hope everyone who has this machine gets the problem worked out. Unfortunately, knowing what I know now, I don't think I would buy this one again unless the software was rock solid. Physically the unit works well, but is a little loud I admit and went through my black cartridge pretty fast even though I used in saving settings such as fast draft, etc.
Just as a side note, the HP support guy in Canada was fairly annoying. When we still couldn't get it working properly via ethernet, he insisted it must be a problem with Apple or a conflict with a program I have installed, etc,etc. and told me that every one of his customers that has Leopard also has this unit working 100% properly. I politely told him he needs to add me as his first failure!
OK, enough rant. Try connecting wirelessly and see if that works. I would uninstall the current printers as suggested, but also clear out the printer cache. Do this by right clicking in the add a printer box area and choose reset printing system. If all else fails and you upgraded to Leopard from Tiger, then......gulp...... uninstall Leopard and revert back to Tiger. Under Tiger, both my macs worked perfectly connected via ethernet printer connection. Good luck.

Windows 7 Driver for Photosmart C7280

I am looking for a printer driver for the Photosmart C7280 that will work with Windows 7 Beta.

I too used the Windows 7 compatibility feature to install the following updated drivers on Windows 7 (64-bit):
100_228_PS_AIO_02_Full_Net_enu.exe, (1/1 , 198.44M)
However, I was unable to install any of the updates using the same method. Several of them are listed as critical:
PS_AIO_02_110_008.exe, (1/1 , 15.97M) PS_AIO_02_110_008.exe, (1/1 , 15.97M)
slp_dd_hathi_110_017.exe, (1/1 , 25.29M)
ConvergedIO_HPCOM_V3.exe, (1/1 , 1.53M)
PSE_HpqSRmon.exe, (1/1 , 415.55k)
I am having other errors that are so far unresolvable, so I would really like to be able to install these updates to see if they improve the situation. Also, apologize if those links to the updates did not work - it appears that when I paste the URL into this forum's link window, it does something to break it. The updates can of course be found in the main download page for the C7280, Windows Vista 64 bit.

I have a hp photosmart c7280 all in one and i get a message that says "pump motor stalled.

I have an HP photosmart C7280 All in One and I get a message that says pump motor stalled. I have done everything from resetting and turning it off. I have checked to make sure that there is not any paper jam. It makes a clicking sound after it has been reset and then the message "pump motor stalled" pops up. Any suggestions or should I just toss and buy new??? It is only three years old but it is out of warranty.

You might try the suggestions in this post. There is also a post here that reports success.

Photosmart C7280 Screen is blank and all panel lights are flashing

Photosmart C7280 All-in-one screen goes blank and all control panel lights flash, can be reset by switching off/on various number of times. Problem then returns in differing length of time.

Does it actually connect to your network? If so, type the printer's IP address into a web browser, go to the Network Tab, then Network Protocols and choose "Enable IPv4 only", then Apply.

Photosmart C7280 errors

I have a photosmart C7280 all in one printer and I am getting a series of errors. First one is that even when not using it the following printer panel lights will all flash; statement; Photo menu; Red Eye; Print Photos; Auto Answer; power Button and card light. Also the printer screen panel goes blue with the following number on it B851FE84.
I have been on the HP support site and tried all the options to no avail - when I tried the disconnect power cable from printer and unplug the power lead, wait 15 secs and then plug it all back in the printer came back on but with a blue screen message on the printer B8080598.
I was using wireless connection but when I started getting these problems I turned the wireless off and hard wired it with an ethernet cable but the errors continued. I have downloaded the HP Diagnostic tool and that does not report any errors. Plus it reported I have the latest driver.
My operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate and I have the latest updates on that.
Can anyone shed some light on this please.

Exact same issue for me as well. I purchased the C7280 printer for my father Dec 2008 and he calls me last week reporting the blinking lights and blue screen.
I find it very unfortunate that HP is not taking the time to at least acknowledge the numerous postings on this issue. Perhaps there is a design issue, which happens with technology unfortuately, but at least give all these customers some response before this goes viral on the net and causes more serious issues for HP.
As it stands right now, I will looking at throwing out a 2 year old printer and buy another. What happended to old HP printers that lasted several years without issue?

Since I installed Mountain Lion operating system, I cannot print. I have a HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one printer. I get a message when I try to update the software "Server not available The software update service is currently not available."

After installing Mountain Lion, my printer doesn't work. I know it is connected as it shows up, The message is:
"The printer software was installed incorrectly. Please reinstall the software for this printer or conact the anufacturer for assistance."
I used the disk that came with the printer as when I go to the HP site, it tells me that Apple has the drivers needed. I unistalled the printer and reistalled. Previously, I just went to the HP website an everything worked fine for drivers, program, etc. I never had to use the CD that came with the printer. My printer is: HP Photosmart C7280 All-in-one, it is wireless, but I even took the computer and plugged it into the printer to make sure that everything was connected. Can someone please help me to get this working,
Thank you,
Cheryl Paul
