HP Photosmart C6180: installation endless loop

• Installation failed for HP Photosmart C6180 wireless for my laptop HP Pavilion (window Vista Home Premium) 64-bit

  Hello

  I have HP Photosmart C6180 all-in-One printer, that works well with my other Compaq Presario SR2001NX desktop (Window XP) wired without any problem.
  But after I bought the new laptop about a month ago, I tried to install this printer on my wireless laptop.
  I downloaded HP driver for vista 64-bit, which is not always in the final phase of installation showing big 'X' mark on the screen of the window.
  Several chatting online with HP technician did not work at all, and I couldn't connect the printer with that laptop apparently more up-to-date, which is quite frustrating.
  I know how to connect the printer wireless with router. The printer screen shows it is correctly connected to the Wi - Fi network.

  I wonder if Microsoft already knows this kind of installation problems.

  It seems that Windows does not install automatic blower for this printer. Most of the HP printers is listed on the function of automatic installation of the window, but this printer is not included.

  Hello Itnntkim,

  Thanks for posting of Microsoft Answers.

  I checked on the compatibility of Windows Vista site and this printer is compatible with the 64-bit system, but it shows there is a required download for the drivers. I've included here the compatibility site.

  Make sure that you have all the updated drivers for the HP Photosmart C6180 all-in-One printer.
  The website below is for drivers for this model for Windows Vista 64-bit system.

• HP Photosmart C6180 with abnormal shutdown Message

  My HP Photosmart C6180 began to make a loop of continuous restart with error of abnormal termination. I've now tried # and 6 at startup to do a reset, but that only solves the problem for about 30 minutes.

  I read on other forums on the internet that this is due to faulty capacitor anyone else managed to solve this problem?

  I notice seven other users seem to have this problem on the forum.

  I have the same problem. Is it possible to fix once and for all?

  Hi, yes I managed to fix my printer and it is working normally again! However, it is a bit complex - I had to remove the circuit board and replace the capacitors. I put the instructions on this site below as a method step by step for fixing.

  http://www.roshgaind.com/?p=200

  You will need to have a soldering iron, torx screwdriver and buy new capacitors. The whole process takes about 1 to 2 hours, I had limited experience with soldering, but I am familiar with disassemble computers.

  Attempt at your own risk - soldering irons are very hot and can cause injury if not done properly this can permanently damage your printer If in doubt ask a service center to fix your printer or buy a new one.

• Satellite L500-1DT: HDD Recovery of Win 7 is stuck in an endless loop

  It's a so detailed bug report please bear with me.
  If you can help, or can confirm that you have had the same thing happen to you, I will be grateful.

  I've owned several Toshiba laptops before and I've even worked for Toshiba so worry, I like the machine. But I have a problem with his recovery software. I just bought a laptop Satellite L500-1DT with Windows 7 64 bit, on behalf of a non-techie who lives elsewhere. Since I know from experience that I have to sometimes panic calls from field in the sense of "it became too slow", "How do I get rid of the accumulated junk", "maybe he had a virus" and so on, the first thing I checked was ASR, which is how to bring the HD to "like new" condition.

  So I started out in the machine, replied to the questions until I got in the appropriate operating system, then led the program "make a recovery DVD. Double layer DVD checked ok. With the freshly made DVDs, I swapped the HD for a spare part, I had (much less: only 40 GB instead of 320) and started the rescue DVD hoping it would fix my own system to the blank disc.

  He did repartition the drive according to its schema, with more or less half the space for Windows and the other half for the data, including the recovery files. He did install the system in the Windows partition. It was then restarted in Windows 7 installed in order to complete the installation. There, the trouble began: an endless loop of reboots for hours until what I stopped it.

  Loop:
  * reset
  * black screen with bright logo 4 color windows «windows startup»
  * black screen with slight blade and "Setup prepares your computer for first use.
  * blue white screen "Welcome" with "please wait" and the crossbar with green blob, saying "the installation may take several minutes. Please do not interrupt or shut down the computer! »
  * blue screen saying it stops

  Repeat the above forever.

  I saw him restart way more than 10 times over several hours. And whenever he's faking, that this is the first time she did it. Of course, this is not normal!

  I tried to stop with ctrl-alt-del and the Task Manager, but the white screen would go even the Task Manager, making it difficult to kill any process or even inspect what they were on top. I stopped it by holding down the power button until it shuts. Then when it restarts it said that if I wanted safe mode. I tried. He went into the routine above and at one point he says that he could not proceed with the installation, if it was in safe mode. So he restarted in normal mode and then...! It is finally out of the endless loop!

  Then he asked me all the usual language, record etc., questions as he did the first time I had turned on him. This seemed good. Finally, I walked into a newly installed operating system and everything seemed fine, except that I found out later that some programs that were there before were not installed.
  With bravery bordering stupidity (*) I even Redid the procedure hard disk provided instead of my rescue: first I have nuked the windows partition, then I save the HD (with F8), not with the DVD that I had done. Result: similar rigmarole, with endless reboot.

  After that I stopped it, it kind-of-worked, as above, but now some programs were lacking, such as the Toshiba DVD drive.

  (*) motivated by: better try now with the computer here and all my tools and other computers ready at hand, that when the computer died at home of its owner, and that's the only thing left to try with me at the other end of a line call. Been there before.

  Now, that specific (DVD player), that I could download it from the support page and it installed fine. But what else might be missing or not working not that I have not noticed? The restore process is clearly not working as it should.

  I'm the first or only to whom it happens? I'm doing something wrong? Is there anything else I should try?

  I need to make sure that the restore procedure works perfectly while I still have the computer in my hands. If not, there is no chance that I'll be able to do a remote reinstall for my non-techie, once I asks me to clean the laptop by phone a few months from now.

  Thanks in advance

  [Update: just looking for the right place where I could post what I found that other people report the same problem.] This is definitely a bug in the software distributed for W7 - 64 overlay, not a problem isolated to my machine. See for example
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=49421&TSTART=0 where the user kwarc described the same symptoms with a Satellite L505.

  Hello

  First of all, I must say that I could recover my trouble free unit.
  The installation of Win 7 went well and everything has been installed correctly.

  Back to you:
  To me it looks like something wrong with installation maybe some HARD drive partitions were confues perhaps, HARD drive should again formatted, and then run the recovery procedure.
  You should test

  Regarding the DVD player:
  As much as I know there is no DVD player for Win 7 64 bit. There are only available for Win 64 bit updated. If you need to install the DVD player for Win 7 32 bit version and then update using the patch released for Win7 64 bit.

• Photosmart C6180 - unable to delete the document in the print queue

  My Photosmart C6180 shows a document in the queue which can not be removed causing the error message and unable to print documents from my laptop.

  Hi Thomastwhilaker,

  I'd love to help you remove the paper that is stuck in your queue and get you print again.

  First post please returns with the answers to these questions.

  1. Is the printer connected wirelessly or with a USB cable?

  • Under Service status, please stop the server, wait a moment, and then click Start

  Remove the printer from the server to the printer properties

  1. open the folder "devices and printers".

  2. choose "print server properties.

  • Win XP - with no printer selected, click 'File' then 'server properties '.
  • Windows Vista - with no printer selected, press 'Alt' and then click 'file' then 'server properties '.
  • Windows 7/8 and 8.1 - Select any printer in the "Devices and printers" folder and click on "Print server properties" above.

  3. click on the "Drivers" tab at the top of the window "properties of the print server.

  4. choose the printer that you want to uninstall, and then click 'remove '.

  5. choose "Remove driver only.

  6. the next screen will give a warning, letting you know that the removal of the driver package will remove it from the system. Click 'Yes' to say are you sure you want to do.

  If you get an error "in use", restart the computer and the printer, and then follow the steps again.

  Re-add a printer

  Open start > all programs > HP folder > folder printer > HP Setup and the software if you do not see the program installation and software, but you see the printer icon, double-click the printer icon to start the installation and the software.

  Please let me know if this does not resolve the problem, or if you need additional help, I'm happy to help you.

• HP Photosmart C6180 Magenta Ink not printing

  error message: no

  description of the problem: Magenta Ink not print not EXCEPT on the page that prints after aligning the print cartridge printing is performed. At the bottom of this page, the bars of yellow, Cyan and Magenta print perfectly, just like the mixture of the color shown in the colorful bird printed below the bars.

  Self Test Diagnostic Page is printed with bars No. Light Magenta or Magenta, under print quality model. State of ink and level for both shows like OK magenta and 100%

  Troubleshooting: I ran repeated cycles of head cleaning and aligning the print cartridge print without changing the output. The page that prints after cleaning has NO magenta bars or lines. Seems the page that prints after alignment. Via e-mail support, I was directed to perform a complete reset "semi" and "the NVM reset" - neither of these had no effect. Magenta inks have been replaced, but the problem persists.

  Exchange: the printer had not been used for several months.

  My printer started working. It had been disconnected and sitting for several months. I turned it to try the HP solutions (below) and found that it worked - I had nothing to do!  In any case, I hope this can help some of you with similar problems:

• HP Photosmart C6180: hp photosmart c 6180 turns off when it is connected to the network and blinks green photo

  When my Photosmart C6180 is related to two wireless and ethernet network after any number of hours it stops itself down and the green light on the front panel by the icon of camera flashes.  You will then have to push the power button to turn back.  Not very practical for a network printer. Router is a Linksys WRT 1900 ACS.

  Hi wjabdella,

  Thank you for your answer!

  In the post I provided on the hard reset, he mentioned: sometimes, when plugged into a surge protector or battery backup, the quantity of electricity is not received by the printer.  Power problems can cause printing problems.  It is particularly important to be plugged directly into a wall outlet with wireless connectivity problems, "sleep mode" and other power problems.

  So by unplugging the power and waiting, it resets the printer almost to its original state without making a complete factory reset and lose any other information.

  Don't forget to come back to this thread and check "Accept as Solution", if I have successfully helped solve you the problem. If you want to say 'Thank you' to my effort to help, click on the "thumbs up" to give me a Kudos.

  I hope that answers your question!

• If I only print in black why my HP Photosmart C6180 uses up color cartirges? Are expensive!

  If I only print in black why my HP Photosmart C6180 uses up color cartirges? Are expensive!

  Hello

  All printers do the same thing that even many printers have an option to print in black INK ONLY. The reason: during the process of global warming, printers need to use all inks to check and maintain their print heads... Some people say, we turn on the printer / OFF it will use more ink, I can't confirm that but understandable.

  Kind regards.
