HPC6180 function to scan lost all-in-one photosmart when changing the broadband providers

After changing the broadband providers I could no longer use the functions to scan my printer on the network. Print still works perfectly, but when I tried to scan I got a message telling me that the scanner could not be found.

It is a symptom that is very similar to the one described elsewhere on the forums - but the problem in my case was not fixed by any amount of uninstall and reinstall the software. If all goes well, describing the fix here I can someone else save a lot of time.

When the scanner is installed first the device name is stored somewhere, and even if the software is uninstalled and reinstalled L4 is still remembered the old name.

The diagnostic scanner utility shows clearly a name that cannot be 'ping' because it is not the same as the new name for the printer. The suffix shown by the diagnostic Scanner differs from that shown in an IPCONFIG/all (the connection-specific DNS suffix).

Thus, in may a case my original router was distributing the domain suffix '.» «Home» so my printer was HPxxxx.home for the scanner software. When I installed a new router that he used the ".config" suffix if the printer has become HPxxxx.config and the software couldn't find it (even when re-installed).

It seems that ONLY the scanner software uses this mechanism to talk to the printer - printing features are not affected. But with the scanner software you're looking for the wrong name it can't possibly work. Even if you re-install the software or 'fix' references. Home in the registry to point to HPxxxx.config something somewhere modifies the registry return entries.

SOLUTION:

Find a way to change the router to distribute a different suffix - the same as your old router. In my case it was impossible in the GUI of the router then I 'saved' the configuration of the router in a modified file - the name of the suffix in the file text - and re - load configuration in the router.

Now the printer is HP software and I can't figure out how to fix the HP software to recognize a new name.

I hope someone saves some time - but unfortunately there are a lot of reasons that the scan function may suddenly stop working - as evidenced by the publication on the subject.

Good luck!

So, the SOLUTION is to re - configure your new router to use the same domain as your old router suffix. Router usually come with a configured arbitrary domain suffix - and the HP software is not resisted this development.

  • Lost all my music after having changed the country

    Hi all

    Im having a problem with my account of Apple's music.

    I had to move from the French to Spanish store so I had to cancel my subscription to Apple's music who, after restarting my membership (on the Spanish shop this time), I realized that all my music has disappeared.

    The music is not on iTunes on my Mac, I tried to resync the iCloud library and everything, no chance.

    This means that it is not possible to keep his music when changing the country?

    Thanks for your help guys

    Anything related to music from Apple is specific to each National Bank and may not be transferred. History of purchases and nothing ripped from CD rest to you. Access your purchase history requires that you register in the right store however so keep a library of physical media is a good initiative.

  • HP All in One Photosmart C7280 scan issue with Snow Leopard

    Hello

    I bought my wife a new cool Mac mini. So it comes with Snow Leopard. We use it for our activities with an HP printer all in one Photosmart C7280. Unfortunately the scanner does not work. I did the mistack to install HP driver from the HP website and read after documentation of the HP Web site (probably like all users). So I decided to completely re-installed the machine (as it was new) and follow the installation procedure for HP who, to say that the pilot is coming up with Snow Leopard. After the new re - install, so I installed 10.6.1 patches and last HP driver from the site Web Apple as mentioned in the forum. (version 2.2)

    The printer is correctly detected, but there is no way mak it work the scanner on HP procedures. The scanner is not recognized at all, and the printer configuration window is not appearing the scanning tab as it is supposed to. It seems that the scan part it does not work in one.

    We love HP printer and it will be great to see it fixed.

    My network configuration is very simple:

    -192.168.0.176 is the IP address of the HP printer with 255.255.255.0 netmask

    -192.168.0.106 is the MacMini (3.1) IP address mask subnet even

    All connected using a router D-Link (5 ports).

    Printer/scan function works perfectly on our other Mac systems that are under Leopard. I tried to install Leopard on the new mac mini, but the installation DVD that we have (10.5.4) does not start successfully on the machine. We are so stuck.

    Any help really appreciated

    Jean-Marie

    Hello

    Good news, it worked. But I think that the problem came from the D-Link router that I used. Upnp has been set to allow, and it seems he mistook the discovery of the device. I proceed to turn off and the live showed you me overdrawn the printer on the network. I installed it, and the scanner has been recognized.

    If I turned my back to Activate Upnp, the scan function is dead. Thus, it probably is a problem of compatibility between the leopard to snow and this Protocol. What is strange, is that our whole system of leopard work with upnp enable or disable.

    Anyway thanks a lot for your help!

  • 23 - g011 HP Pavilion all-in-One: can I upgrade the processor?

    Hello world!

    I'm at an impasse earlier and had to get a fast PC. What I ended up getting was 23-g011 HP Pavilion all-in-One. When I got it, I thought it was OK, but as I started working I realized its limitations. I guess that there's a 1.3 ghz processor, which seems to be the only real issue with it, I would say.

    My question is, can I upgrade the processor?

    I heard different things. Some say yes, others say no.

    I really don't know much about this stuff, but I hope someone can help me here.

    Thank you!

    I'm sorry, but apparently the proccessor is soldered to the motherboard of the computer, so you cannot update. All-in-one computers are not designed to be upgraded (I have a Pavilion b010 20 with a proccessor 1.48 GHz) and I would really have a problem with the "no upgrade" thing if the proccessors was not so terrible! I feel you, I do a lot of game and I have for them to run as 5 fps. So to sum it all, you can't update.

  • HP C3100 All - In - One Photosmart: very old printer and drivers

    I know that probably the answer to this already, but here goes anyway. I have an old printer. HP all-in-One Photosmart C3100. He has just shot ten years old. I had some time after 2006, or at the least, it is the date indicated on the manual.  I just got a new computer to replace my computer that was about as old. I climbed up from XP to Windows 7.

    My printer, which works great, needs a driver and HP does not seem to do more. On their website, they say nothing more than ten years. I have no chance or is there anything else I can do?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    The installation disk supplied with the printer is not compatible with Windows 7, as the device was manufactured prior to release of Windows 7.
    No matter which compatible OS are registered on the CD...

    A newer version of the software for Windows 7 can be downloaded from the HP site.

    Before installing the software, be sure to follow the steps below:

    1. Enter the control panel > devices and printers.
    2. Right-click on the icon Photosmart 2610 and lick to withdraw an instrument.
    3. Disconnect the USB cable between the printer and restart your PC.
    4. Follow the below installation, do not connect USB until prompted to do so during the installation of the software:
