All-in-one HP Photosmart C3140: pension / Reset C3140 all-in-one for gift

Hi all

I'm retiring my all-in-one HP Photosmart C3140 printer/scanner. Is there a way to reset it completely, reformat or erase all the settings and memory on the machine, especially all preliminary scans?

I scanned documents with the bank details, social security numbers, etc. on the device, and want to be sure, that it is perfectly clean before giving. (That, or I guess I'll take a hammer to the old fashioned way!)

Thanks for your advice.

More complex? I guess that not on this printer. That's what the textbook says.

    Everything worked fine until I updated to Snow Leopard 10.6.2 (apparently... I can't think of anything that went wrong) and now when I try to scan using the software of my MacBook HP Device Manager, I got this error message. Printer and copier functions work fine. Help!

    In 10.6 you do not use the HP software to scan, use Preview or Capture of Image.  Search for your printer on the left column, select it and go from there.

    If this does not work, there are other things we can do.

  • HP Photosmart C3140: error constant "paperless."

    Hello.  Recently, I had a few problems of "transport jam" on my printer Photosmart C3140.  It seemed a lot of old ink had accumulated internally, so I disassembled the printer and cleaned as much ink as I could.  After reassembling, the problem of transport occurs jam is more.  However, when I tried to print a test page, the fire ' load paper ' came.  I put my usual diet of paper on the tray of food and tried to print again, but it's the same thing.  It seems that the printer detects not the paper that is in the status bar.  Any suggestions on what I should look for?  Your comments would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!

  • Photosmart 7510 - I want to use only black ink since I don't have all the need for a color.

    Photosmart 7510 - I want to use only black ink since I mainly use this for work and don't have all the need for a color. If I have more ink, can I just replace the black and it still work? Thank you very much for any information you may have!

    Hello

    I did a few test last year, you can print black only master always need color ink for the printer. Black setting only as a default printer will only print black and it consumes a little over heating of the process color inks. In short, it will not be printed correctly when run out of color ink (s) or does not start at all.

    Kind regards.

  • HP Photosmart C3140

    Just got this Photosmart C3140from a friend. I downloaded the product software & drivers for Windows 7.  The two cartrideges are inside, but when I try a test print I get nothing on paper. Through the movement, but nothing is displayed. I took the cartridges and replace the again, but no alignment page will print or go even in the movement when I do. Troubleshooting says my ink level is low. I bought a 94 black cartridge, but when I inserted, he says that it is not compatible? How is that? Site HP says it should work.

    Should I replace both cartridges 92 & 93 to work or is there another problem?

    Thanks, but I discovered that I had to only replace both cartridges.  I'm a little worried that HP online said

    the HP Photosmart C3140 may take the 94 cartridge, but mine said it was incompatible.  Fortunately, Wal-Mart

    Hello

    What happens when you connect to the router via a wired connection?

    Method 1: Reset the Internet (TCP/IP) Protocol:

    One of the components of the Internet connection on your computer is a package of instructions called TCP/IP. TCP/IP can sometimes become damaged or altered. If you are unable to connect to the Internet, TCP/IP can be causing it.

    TCP/IP is a main component of Windows, you cannot delete it. However, you can reset TCP/IP to its original state by using the NetShell (netsh) utility. Reference:

    Method 2: Reset the default Hosts file

    The "hosts" file is an important Windows system file which maps hostnames to IP addresses. Its a simple text file that is stored in the folder "%windir%\System32\drivers\etc\" in Windows NT, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, Server 2008 and Windows 7 32-bit editions. In the 64-bit editions, it can be also stored in the folder "%windir%\SysWOW64\drivers\etc\".

    Structure of the hosts file is very simple. It contains lines of text containing the IP address, followed by the host name.

    Sometimes this hosts file is hijacked by viruses, adware, spyware or Trojan software and is changed to redirect your browser to various websites containing malicious code. It could also block security Web sites and the Windows Update Web site in your system so that you can not install virus definitions and security updates in your operating system.
