Missing cartridges on Photosmart C4680 printer... It work?

I have a HP Photosmart C4680 printer that appears in great shape.  It was given to me by a third party.  The two print cartridges and power cord are missing.  I have no idea if this printer will actually print.

  1. Assuming I can start her, is it possible to determine if it will print before you run out and spend the money on 2 new cartridges?
  2. Can I use a power cord to similar research?  I have one who comes from a different model of printer but seems similar.

Thank you!

There is no way to determine if the printer print without cartridges from the printer. If the cord will work for the printer you use.

Let me know how it goes.

  • HP Photosmart C4680 printer help - makes noise when turned on?

    Hello

    I searched all day for a solution on my NEW out of the box (HP Photosmart C4680) printer.  I decided to use the scan option, so I opened the box and everything out of the box, remove all packing materials and tape, paper, etc.  Now, I plug the power supply cable (not USB), the printer does beep and a beep will sound and the screen comes on and power off.  It's just a blue screen that displays the logo of hp--(tours noir/arrêt et en arrière, encore et encore).  When I hold down the POWER button for 10 seconds, it turns off the printer (and the beep).  Turn it back on it does again ringing for about a half hour.  Then he turns to the language screen if he wants to, but the touchscreen works even not at all to select or scroll through the list.  And then if I open the door of the cartridge, the cradle only slips when he wants to and not all the time (certainly not when it beeps at startup pointing upwards).

    I tried to install the software in the hope that it might help.  But after hanging the printer usb cable once all the software has been installed, it is said that it recognizes not the printer or it is not be able to communicate with him.

    It is out of warranty.  Any help/advice is greatly appreciated!

    UPDATE: I got the shop, and it is considered to be a printer of lemon.  The end.

    Yes. I remove all packing materials, including any Blue Ribbon, that there is none.

    UPDATE: I took the printer in the shop, and it is considered to be a printer of lemon.  Please read and try to help!

  • HP photosmart C4680: HP Photosmart C4680 printer

    Photosmart C4680 printer will print correctly. Problem follows:

    1. Press on print
    2. Printer makes a noise of switch for several seconds
    3. Athens printers normally feeding paper & prints correctly.

    Noise distribution is done before printing each page. Feeds correctly.

    Need help before ruining printer.

    Thanks John M.

    What a pleasure to receive a response. Unfortunately, took all the steps without success. You took note of cliqueti noise that continues after all the inspection. I observe that the rattling noise occurs when the transport is on the right side of the printer. When you move the carriage to the left & with a flashlight, I saw a black glob in the extreme right under where the transport would be. What key it seemed to be a deposit of black as ink. Do not think that this isn't the ink as empty cartridge or showing empty.

    The printer has served faithfully for time Believe + 5 years came for the replacement. However, t would be nice to know how this has happened.

    I thank for the help & you can be sure that the replacement will be a model of HP.

    Thank you venny1.

  • missing OCR for Photosmart C4680

    Hello-

    Is there an OCR software included with the Photosmart C4680?  I did a full install, but I can't scan to create editable text.  The aid function advises me to select a pdf in text can be added to the output, but this option is not given in the drop-down list.  The data sheet

    It works!

    And you were right, I had to uninstall and reinstall the PhotoSmart software before you install the OCR software.  I had updated to version 13 of PhotoSmart 12 version that was on the CD supplied with the printer.  I got the message "OCR application is not required" when I tried to install on version 13.   Uninstall and revert to the version 12 allowed me to then install the OCR.  I'll go with version 12, it has everything I need.

    I think it is strange that HP it so hard.  After successful installation, I changed from a customer who felt he was ripped off (after being sold nonexistent OCR) to a satisfied customer!  HP should at least have a link of his C4680 software page to the OCR software and indicates the software OCR is working on the C4600 series.

    Anyway, thanks a lot rhanman for your help and for the time and effort in replying to my query.  I greatly appreciate it.

  • The paper feed of my printer Photosmart C4680 does not work

    Hello

    I tried to reset my printer, but the paper source always pulls the paper on an angle and then crashes.  This seems to have started all of a sudden.

    Hi JeaniT,

    If you have the paper guides, set against the paper and that you have cleaned the feed tires there is a good chance that there is a small piece of paper stuck in the paper path causing the paper be introduced an angle. You may need to lift the printer to look at the paper path.

    My printer works fine when testing printing/scanning...it shows that I have a good network connection, however, when I click on 'print', absolutely nothing happens... even not an error... it worked one morning and in the afternoon, did not... Anyone know what is happening?

    Most often when a device does not work, it is because the driver is damaged.  Re-install a new copy should help

  • Error message - system tries to install the HP Photosmart C4680 printer software

    I installed Windows 8 Preview of consumer months ago.  Now, I get an installation error that does not affect the printer - it is fine as it is - and I can't do the install failed mended stop repeat whenever I want to use the printer.

    I'm guessing that the drivers are not compatible with this version of Windows, and the system tries to do a regular update of some sort.  Known issue?  If so, can I disable in order to install so that I'm not tying up of resources all the time?

  • HP Photosmart C4680 printer Windows Vista 32 bit OS

    Print, copy and scan, but keeps recycling on every 5 minutes, as if she has just finished printing sometimes automatically will "copy Mode" and like, even analyzed just sitting idle. Damage has been done by not following good paper, methods of interference.

    Hi TedF,

    You may consult the following link which deals with topics of paper jam.  Click here  I recommend that you follow all the steps in order to ensure that all areas of the printer have been erased.  A flashlight can be very useful.

    If this is not enough, you could try to do a complete Reset of the Semi.  If successful, this reset the default printer and clear the memory.  If the printer was on a wireless network, it should be removed and would need to be reconnected.  If you want to try it, I can send the steps in a private message to your Forums HP in-box.  I need you agree to not post the stages.  Let me know what you decide.
