Ink taking C5180

I have always used HP printers, but my last printer Photosmart C5180 all-in-one gives me problems especially if the printed page is wet. I noticed that a drop of liquid causes printing ink on paper fades and short. Makes bad when you print a map and walk in the rain just not be somewhat readable. It uses the HP 02 ink cartridge, which is what I use in my printer is HP products. Anyone know a stop to this or preventing the ink actually turn liquid and nose that flows when it is wet? Help, please!

  • HP C5180 Photosmart - ink system failure

    I have a 13 month old Photosmart C5180 HP which is now displaying the following error message, "ink system has failed. Unable to print... "Error: Oxc18a0506.

    The help message suggests "put off, then on again.  This does not clear the fault.  I followed a number of other subjects with similar-sounding problems and have tried all the suggested solutions, including resets, cleaning of printheads, removing each print cartridge and cleaning them, withdrawal and the replacement of the power lead while now the OK and help buttons.  None of them have allowed the problem.  Before I get what many have described as less useful and expensive, line of HP support I was wondering if anyone else has had and solved, this error.

    I hope this helps someone out there:

    Reset:

    • Unplug the printer, then pressing the help and ok button branch simultaneously in. This sorting it.

    Have to say it looked like all this process exhausted shed loads of ink, so by the time I had finished I had to replace the 3 cartons!

  • Photosmart C5180 - printing stops when the any ink cartridges run dry - what is happening with this?

    My C5180 does not print anything, apparently because the cartridge Light Magenta Ink. I have given levels of gray, black ink only, but it persists in telling me to replace the color cartridge. Can it be good? Is it really necessary to buy a new cartridge in order to use the printer printing black ink?

    Thank you.

    Insert the printer installation CD in your cd and cancel any window of installation. then type "X:\util\ccc\uninstall_L2.bat" in the run window (replace "X" with the drive letter of the CD drive the CD instalalion is located in..). you will get a black command prompt window that will feature instructions. Follow the instructions carefully. Once installation is complete, it can ask you to reboot, then do it.

    then start the installation once more. 's done it, you shouldn't face this problem.

  • HP photosmart C5180 all in one printer ink cartridges

    My printer is about three years old, I loved this printer and the problem I'm having is that when he says that he new need recharging if I put yellow ink cartridges and still say that the ink is empty but other colors work except yellow and I put three yellow ink cartridges and still the same need to spare yellow I have a friend who is very expert on the computer and the printer and he said I need new printer we tried to reset the printer again and again and again, nothing works, so I thought that maybe I can try this blog and see if anyone has problems like me. Help, please. Thank you

    I think that something is wrong with your printer, I'm sorry.  There are electrical contacts 'read' the cartridge ink that can be messy, but other than that, nothing simple comes to mind.

  • My Officejet 4620 do not print black ink

    I replaced the black cartridge on my Officejet 4620 with a new high-capacity HP cartridge and it won't print black ink on the test page, any application or function of Copier.  I have reset the printer nothing helps.  The ink level indicates that it recognizes the new cartridge and says it's full.  Black ink out of the cartridge when I put my finger against the exit hole.  I cleaned and aligned the print heads, but still no go.

    just in case someone else has this problem, heres whats really past and heres how to fix this annoying problem. its relatively easy to do and more efficient than wasting money on a new printer or have that he repaired as most people eventually do.

    going on what? the ink has clogged print heads and solidifies closed. the function of "clean print heads" the printer comes with doesn't have the ability to solve this problem. This feature is to clean the heads Sales, not clogged heads. Why hp decided to make this model without a simple to remove the cradle is beyond me, but fortunately the cradle out and can be cleaned with hot water.

    theres a few items, you will need to get there easily, or you could just burst the branch loppers, like I did and vent your frustrations.

    you will need: a pair of slender beak pliers, a screwdriver torx T9 (selling auto parts stores them for a few dollars), paper towels and a space for work (its easier to do this in a corner of a room, on a small table or floor).  Keep in mind that you are dealing with ink, then change your clothes right just in case and also catch a paper plate or a few sheets of paper to print to set ink cartridges while you work.

    (1) ok. lets start. !!! FIRST UNPLUG THE PRINTER RIGHT NOW, IF YOU DO NOT ACCIDENTALLY DIE BY ELECTROCUTION!  I forgot and when I started unscrewing the first 6 screws, kept chime jump and im like * beep *? I was impressed by the security measures hp took as model engineering.

    (2) the printer is now disconnected and then go to your corner your work surface and place the printer, so there is a wall or a barrier on the left, and also, a wall or a fence behind it. This just in front of her as if you were about to use it.

    (3) now, what you have to do, is to open the printer as you will change the ink and on the right side, there is a plastic guide that prevents opening all the way to the top. Look on the side and you'll notice that he could jump off with fingers. pop off and open it completely open, so you can get to the screws of the cover you would have prevented access to.

    (4) press the scanner part and the upper part against the back wall.

    (5) all the screws you will be remove are the size T9H torx screws. There are ten total. There are 2 black screws in the top of the forehead and then 4 black screws in the top of the back. Remove them and put them on your paper plate.

    (6) following is 1 screw silver short located under the Control Panel, use your finger and feel under the * button. Unscrew, place it on the paper plate.

    (7) depending on whether you want to remove the face/Control Panel to get in the last 3 screws so locate the illustrations on the top of the printer, there are 2 on the lower left and 5 at the bottom right (1 and 2 on the left explain removals of paper jam and 1-5 on the right then explain change in ink cartridges). then about half an inch South of the illustration of the number 5 on the lip, is a plastic stand. six inches to the left is an another then 6 inches to the left, under the number of the illustration 2 (remove the paper jam) is a third support. Unscrew using your nails. Flip it up just like the hood of the car, and eten on the main top of the printer, keep the flat wire which is connected to the frame of the control panel (if the flat wire jumped because you got too loud, then simply insert it in when you go back).

    (8) then unscrew the 3 long silver screws that are located under the Panel you just popped off the coast. There is 1 on the left and 2 on the side rightish. mix 'em on the paper plate.

    (9) now that all the screws are removed, take the Panel front and partially pop it back together.

    (10) then take all over (the part with the small illustrations and lift like a hood of car, ONLY THIS TIME OPEN IT LEFT and he balanced on the edge of the printer, to lean over towards the wall or an obstacle on your left.) MAKE SURE NOT TO PULL ON THE STRIP OF COLORFUL SON FRUITS LEFT AND ALSO THE FLAT BLACK WIRE CONNECTING PART SCANNING FOR THE MAIN OF THE PRINTER PART.

    (11) then take the pliers to tapered spout and remove the 2 silver tension springs located behind the printer cartridges. Pay attention to where they were attached so you remember where they go during the Assembly. take a picture with your phone if you have to, or simply re - understand it like I did. mix 'em on the paper plate.

    (12) then disconnect the 2 large flat wire and 1 small flatwire attached to the back of the ink cart. take a picture or can remember like I did. I guess bad things can happen if you reverse the on re-Assembly. Pick up the phone and take a picture of quik to be sure.

    (13) now remove the cart ink, cartridges and all, by lifting the front first.  Be careful of the transparent tape little there that moves the carriage from left to right and vice versa. you don't want to damage this little guy. now take the transport to your paper plate. not some ink or accidentally get it on your fingers without knowing or will make a mess.

    (14) remove the ink cartridges and put them on the paper plate, side ink to avoid a mess, these things sometimes drip. put the plate side. its time to clean the print heads.

    (15) then go to the sink, to the distribution of empty ink and turn on the hot water and then let the transport of empty ink sitting there with the water mainly through the clogged color screen (inspect and make you is not a small rubber seal surrounding the small screen, if there is do not waste it. I didn't look too closely and I don't think that hp has them but I have a few other printers). It will stain the sink but water ink he comes out to be sure. notice there is also a small circuit attached to it. don't bang it upward but getting wet does not matter.

    (16) continue to do this until the water is clear.

    (17) then use your finger and rub the screen gently with your finger and then rinse it, taking ink until the water is clear. This continues until there is no more ink and screens are clean. do it for all the colors just for good measures. the color of problem that would not print, you'll notice takes longer to clean than the other colors.

    (18) now look on the lower side of the transport. these strange looking things are the leaders. Rinse in hot water and dry them with paper towels. then flip it over and the breath on the side of the screen again. also between the screenside and heads (on the side of the transport) is an opening which is also probably gunked up. It blows with water too. Then, turn it over and wipe the head again. Repeat this step until no fades or until you are sick and tired.

    (19) shake, then use paper towels to dry the entire unit. Make sure that the device is dry.  especially inside the female plugs. blow inside or out dry hair and dry gently. do not stand there and melt the but with the blow dryer. but the sooner it dries less your ink cartridges, sitting on the paper plate will dry out. the custom of the ink dry quickly just do not take a NAP or go on a date until you're back with part of the ink.

    (20) now you have finished cleaning the heads and probably don't need to do it again for the length of time, it was because you bought the printer. and just as a roadtrip you used a map to navigate, you will use these instructions in reverse for reassembly. but keep in mind when re - insert the 3 flatwires that you disconnected from the back of the ink cart, make sure you that have small metal contact on the flatwires points (side male) inserted so they affect small metal contact points on the caps of transport (feminine) side. ALSO BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE BLACK FLATWIRE CONNECTING THE SCANNER PART PART HAND PRINTER. THERE IS A SMALL GROOVE IN THE PLASTIC WHERE IT CAN SIT TO GUARANTEE NO CRIMPAGE. USE IT. also make sure that the 2 hinges to the scanner portion/cover are placed correctly before the fixing of the top with the 6 black screws.

    now raise the printer and reinstall the ink cartridges. then plug in the appliance and turn it on.  If you get notifications on the control panel telling the custom of transport move, then open the trunk and remove the ink cartridges, hustles and ensure that transport is installed and that the tensioner springs are in place correctly. Repeat the operation if necessary until notifications go away or just do a test print and do not take into account the notification if you messed with it a few times already. That's what happened to me and the notification went his own. Once its online, open the hp utility and press the button "clean the heads. do 2 x in a row and you will be in style, with colors extremely rich and "BOLD" and Yes, printed black raven.

    p. s.

    You can always take your aggression out with tree limb loppers or Tin shears like I did and cut the plastic Center keeps you to transport directly outside. Completely eliminates the disassembly and reassembly. Make sure you DO NOT CUT THE TRANSPARENT TAPE THAT MOVES BACK AND FORTH TRANSPORT. This way the next time it happens it takes you only 10 minutes before you are upward and printing.

    Enjoy!  -Porf

  • HP Envy 5644: Photo prints using far too much ink.

    I just bought this printer today.  When you print on regular paper, it prints just fine.  When you print pictures, he uses a ridiculous amount of ink so that the paper is still damp several hours later and so stained, is not recognizable.  I use HP photo paper supplied with the printer and the cartridges that came with it.  If I can't get this resolved I'll take back to the store for a refund.

    I'm getting the same problem when Windows 10 printing than printing from my iPad.

    Thank you for taking the time to answer.  I use HP Advanced Photo paper, it came with the printer.  I went through the process of re - load the paper and the verification of the configuration of the printer.  I realized that I had previously inserted the paper upside down, so it was printing on the back of the paper (my previous printer had photo paper loaded in the back, so it was the other way around).  Once corrected, the prints are very good.  Thank you for your help - I am happy that my muppetry has been solved before I took the printer to the store that would have been even more embarrassing.
