  When scanning or copying a document produced to get an a completely black page.any ideas? Using Windows 7 64 bit.

  Hello ebray

  Since then, it seems that you might have a hardware failure, and it may need to be repaired or replaced. I have included a link to the HP support numbers and the HP trade-in program where you can trade in the printer for another HP printer off credit. If you wish, I can help you to choose a different HP printer if you go this route.

• Windows fax and scan only saves the first page

  When I use the windows fax and scan pages to analyze. You can get an overview of all the multiple pages scanned, but what emailing or save you then cannot see the first page.

  Hello

  If you're using a scanner with a charger of documents and Windows Fax and Scan, you can scan multiple pages into a single file of scanning to the TIFF (.tif) file format. For more information, see:

  
  Scan a document or photo with Windows Fax and Scan
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/scan-a-document-or-photo-with-Windows-fax-and-scan 

  If you use Windows Fax and Scan and a flat bed scanner, you can scan multiple images to separate files probably. Not all scanners flat have this ability, so you may need to contact the manufacturer of the scanner to get a driver so that your scanner flat may offer this option.

• Used to scan HP photosmart C4280

  Hello

  I hope someone can help me,

  I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and since then, I tried to use my HP photosmart c4280 to analyze my work.

  I keep getting messages ranging from "scan cannot be initialized" "unknown error" "no scanner not found" etc. Everything worked fine until I upgraded my mac, and since then I downloaded and upgraded my hp, the latest drivers software, etc. and still nothing. I tried scanning through different programs - photoshop, preview, directly from a scanner, etc. and nothing. I have reset my printers on the system prefferences, I uninstalled and reinstalled the software and I tried everything on the forums here and still nothing.

  I really don't want to pay for an another printer/scanner when this one is very good and works perfectly well. All other functions work too.

  Help, please!

  Thank you

  If you are using Snow Leopard or Lion and you have the HP software before Snow Leopard (either from a CD that is not marked as compatible with the 10.6/10.7 or you recently upgraded to Snow Leopard or Lion and had the software HP on your Mac before you upgrade - even if you made a standard from the old software uninstaller or installed new software on top of it) , you must uninstall the software by using the "scrubber":

  Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard / click Uninstall HP
  Click on continue
  Highlight your device in the left pane
  Press and hold Ctrl + Alt + Cmd keys on the keyboard at the same time as you click on uninstall< this="" is="" the="" scrubber="" option,="" there="" is="" no="" button="" labeled="">
  There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall all hp software. (At this point, if you continue, all HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
  Click on continue and let it finish

  Restart your Mac

  Download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907

  Now reset the printing system:

  -Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
  -Right (control) click inside the box that lists your printers and select Reset Printing System.
  WARNING - This will remove ALL your printers!

  Finally, download and install the latest software for your printer from the "Support & drivers" link at the top of this page.

• "Trying to login to scan...". "message from Snow Leopard - Photosmart C4280

  I've recently upgraded to Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6) and print with my Photosmart C4280 very well (connected by USB). I followed all the steps listed on this webpage below to configure my scanner and uploaded the drivers directly on the Apple site:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04510394

  I was finally able to get the icon scan to appear in the printer (in System Preferences/printers & Fax) Brower window using the "Important witch hunt" on the site above, so then I tried and then click on "Open Scanner." But when I try to open the scanner via the system of preferences--> Print & Fax option, the preview option or the option of Capture of Image, I get a message that says "try to login to scan... "but it is never any more than that. I currently have this message for at least 5-10 minutes without change. I checked that the USB cable is connected to my computer and the printer, and the power cord is connected to the printer and a power outlet.

  Please help me to recover my scanner!

  Did you reboot your printer, computer and router?

• Photosmart C4280 does not print on OS 10.6.3

  Hello

  I've had this printer (Photosmart C4280 all-in-one) for over a year now and it was working fine. However, when I went home last November, I installed my most old (Officejet G85). Then, when I came back, I tried to print a document, but it wouldn't print. I googled the question, have searched forums and tried the HP Solve part of the problem, but to no use. I have also reinstalled the printer three times, but that has not changed anything.

  The printer prints the page of test without any problem. The "error" print queue appears under the status tab, but gives no details.

  I use a MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz on a Mac OS X 10.6.3 with the latest HP 10.3 suite.

  Any help is very appreciated.

  Then, remove and reinstall the printer in System Preferences, Print & Fax.

  You do not have the software now since Snow Leopard as well print & scan drivers built-in. scan from Preview apps or Image Capture. Scan from the front panel of the printer does not work yet.

• HP Photosmart C4280 all-in-One: HP Photosmart C4280 all-in-One printer

  I just hung this printer that was given to me (but without the installation disk or manual).  Scanning and direct printing on the printer do not seem to be a problem, but I can not "copy" on the printer.  The copy comes out just of Virgin.

  Welcome to the HP community @lorideeb,

  I saw your post on the blank copies of your Photosmart C4280 and wanted to tender hand to help you with my own suggestions. Personally, I think it might be a problem with ink cartridge, so you would recommend that you try the steps from the link I posted for you below. Also make sure that the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet, avoiding bars power and surge protectors.

  An "Incompatible cartridge" or 'print cartridge is missing, improperly installed, or not intended for your device' Message appears on the computer "

  If you have trouble, let me know and I'll do my best to help.

• yellow will not print photosmart c4280

  My printer will not print or scan colors yellow / green. It's a fairly new cartridge, so I don't know that I him have not used everything up and on the levels of food its fine. I don't get the error messages. And clean the heads of printing and the allinged I level 1 and 2.

  I advise to remove the Photosmart C4280 cartridges and clean the electrical contacts.  During this operation, I would go ahead and perform a reset of the ink system.  For more information about how to perform an ink system reset click here.

  In addition, there is a document for the resolution of bad color printing problems.  The document can be accessed here.

  • Also, try to run all 3 levels of the print head cleaning utility.  He is trying to force the ink holes in the print head to try to get back to the normal print quality.

  Let me know how it goes.

• rattling noise Photosmart c4280

  Recently, my Photosmart C4280 makes a quick loud pinging from the start under tension, or whenever I Press PRINT or COPY.

  The sound seems to come from the right side of the unit, is approximately two seconds and sounds like a mchinegun continuous burst. When the noise stops, printing or copying function works and produces a normal copy. This only happens on the first page. If I have selected several pages the noise only occurs on the first printed page. However, when you perform repeated simple copies, the noise whenever I have print or copy.

  I tried the following without change:

  -Removed the back cover and it wiped all the rolls

  -Deleted and reinstalled ink cartridges (resettled same cartridges)

  -Performed a Hard Reset (disconnect from the computer, power cable printer disconneting & electric transformer, unplug the power supply from the socket wall, holding THE button 30 seconds, then reconnect the.)

  -Conducted a partial reset (this product a new alignment page that I used realigne printer/scanner).

  Power supply printer is plugged directly into the wall, rather than by the surge protector.

  Welcome to the 8800golf forums

• Photosmart C309a - scanning went OSX10.6

  I'm under OSX10.6.1 with an AiO C309a Photosmart. Scan worked very well with the preview and print/fax area were printing and scanning options.

  I tried to install the updated for my so - 4380 series printer drivers print add queue said that the pilots were available from Apple but software update download telling them to come back later. Looking at the HP site I downloaded the latest OSX10.6 drivers for the printer and then install.

  However, in doing so, something has gone wrong with the C309a. OSX10.6 seems more tot recognize the scanner and it will not work with preview or recognize thanks to the Image Capture. I found a new application - scanning HP but that works (what is a new application in a pilot later?) - I prefer to use a snippet.

  How can I go back to what the scanner recognized in preview and Capture of Image? I tried to remove the C309a queue, restart, etc., but OSX10/6 still refuses to acknowledge that the scanner has even thought that it works very well through scanning HP (which I prefer not to have to use).

  Thank you very much

  Have you downloaded the software C309a here?

  Try this.  So who disobeys, uninstall all of the software (Applications, Hewlett-Packard) HP and no more:

  -install the update from Apple here printer driver

  -Installing the HP software.

  I recommend keep it simple and install only the first in the list, if you can get away with it.
