HP Photosmart C4580 all-in-One: the hp Device Manager

I recently moved and wireless printing is no longer available, because I have a new router, etc. I'm trying to go through the steps to get my printer to print wireless again. I started with the (difficult to understand) online books and forums, but I encountered a problem.

A step now asks me to open on my Mac HP Device Manager, but I do not have this program. I guess that it has deleted along the way. Where can I download to continue to implement the capabilities of my wifi printer?

Thank you!

Hello @joyandlady,

Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

I would like to help you today with the configuration of your HP Photosmart C4580 all-in-One printer to print wirelessly with your computer Mac OS X 10.7. The Device Manager is a feature of the Windows operating system. I don't know why you got a quick for you going into the Device Manager, but it is not possible for your Mac operating system. Now, because of the age of your unit HP Photosmart there is no downloadable HP full feature software or driver for your printer in Mac OS X 10.7. Therefore, you rely on an update from Apple to install printing and scanning of the capabilities of your printer on your Mac. For this reason, you are not able to perform normal wireless setup wireless for your printer configuration is done via the installation package. For this reason, we have two options.

Option 1: Install the printer on a supported operating system and run the wireless installation. Once the wireless feature is successfully configured you simply (+) add your printer to your Mac OS X 10.7 for printing and scanning.

    My C4580 continues to show a 'Paper jam' error report after starting upwards.  The cartridge carriage moves to the left.  The trolley is entirely free to move and there is no resistance when moved to the far left and far right.  I have followed closely all the help online that I can find on the website of HP, and nothing has solved this problem.

    RodeDraak

    Hi RodeDraak,

    Given that the problem occurs when you run a copy, I hope that the problem is the printer hardware not the software on the computer.

    You have the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or is this a surge protector or power bar? Even if you have used a surge protector/power bar this whole time and you feel that this is not the case, please connect to a wall outlet so that we can eliminate the source of energy as the primary cause.

  • failed to install for photosmart b109 all-in-one a - m. has said usb not connected to the computer

    I replaced Vista with a new version of windows 7 64-bit and cannot get my HP Photosmart B109 all-in-one a - m at the end of the installation I downloaded from the HP site. I uninstalled this printer as suggested before attempting the download. He gets to the part where you plug in the power and then the lights on the printer the computer tells me that my USB key is not plugged into it. I tried changing USB website and tested the USB connections and ensure that they work on the computer, but still the same response. The program then continues to stay on the installation of the final software and never complete. Talked with a local tech guy who suggested that you contact because he has no idea.

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion. However, I did not upgrade but remove vista altogether. I found the problem after a lot of grief and research - there was a cord that had fallen on the back of the library that was not plugged in!

  • Photosmart C8180 All-in-One printer that turns off completely in the middle of printing.

    I have a Photosmart C8180 All-in-One printer that powers completely in the middle of printing, wasting time, paper and ink. It restarts also sometimes more and more and more and sometimes it stops and all the lights blink quickly, show an on-screen error code. During these periods, the power button seems useless. I use the printer with a HP Pavilion dv7 laptop running Windows Vista and an HP / Compaq Presario Windows XP.

    When the C8180 works correctly, it's great. But I can't allow myself to be play roulette of the printer. Help, please. Thank you.

    Thanks to kkcb9395 for your help.

    Unfortunately, I have not found a solution to fix my HP C8180. The 800 number only referred me to another number (866-234-1377) where someone in India tried to sell me a phone support or a new printer. Phone support will not fix a burned capacitor and the new printers HP scan slides. Not to mention the $100. new ink I'll have to eat if I can't solve this problem.

    For anyone who has followed this thread and interested in your own C8180 setting here is a link to a parts list.

    Thanks again for your time.

  • TWAIN plug-ins for the hp Photosmart C6280 all-in-One for Photoshop to Macintosh

    Where can I download the Photoshop (CS4) for Macintosh plugin twain for hp Photosmart C6280 all-in-One, so I can scan from Photoshop?

    The HP software only provid ICA interface support (purchase of Apple's Image Capture) which is the native OS X interface.

    TWAIN interface is no longer available for OS X, which means that you will not be able to scan from Photoshop from Adobe directly because it doesn't support the TWAIN module.

    You have to parse through Capture of Image, then you can open the files analyzed on Photoshop.
