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

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

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.

  • 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.

    I have upgraded to Windows Pro 8.1 (32 bit) and I was told that I had to update my drivers and software for my HP Photosmart C4680 printer to work with Pro 8.1. So I uninstalled all the drivers and software and even made a record of cleaning for you ensure that it has been uninstalled. I went to the HP support as suggested Pro 8.1 and proceed to download the software "compatible" and he went out and reached 99%, then disappear.

  • 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.

  • HP Photosmart C4680 problem

    In recent days, I noticed that my Photosmart C4680 is blower bike itself on and off.  Anyone else have this same problem?

    Does anyone know why its doing?  Y at - it a solution?

    Just do the repair. It was a bad capacitor on the logic board (TEAPO brand). There's that one to replace on this printer and it will probably look like curved on top (which indicates which are blown).  It is 330uF 6.3V, but I got in a little bigger (16V, whatever they had in 330uF) and it works perfectly now. It's an easy fix, if you aren't afraid of soldering a component. It will cost about 60 c with a value of components. (and a kit of solder so you do not have a)

    Open the scanner cover and the door of replacement ink. Reach behind the control panel and gently push a clip for the exit sign. He will reveal a hidden torx screw. There are four total screws to remove the top, and you can use a torx bit, or if no practice, the right to an allen key size.

    Once you get the top up the rest of the printer, you must pull carefully on some connectors that attach to the logical map of its orbits. Some are simply Ribbon connectors and some wire connectors. Set the top aside.

    Identify the bad capacitor on the Board by checking the upper surface. It is a green, a thin color that says TEAPO on it and if it is indeed the defective component it must feel to be curved on top.

    Remove all the other connectors on the Board and unscrew 3 torx screws to remove the Board of Directors of the printer.

    To unsolder the bad capacitor, it can be easier at first it break so you can extract each lead with pliers, one at a time when the application of heat on the side welding.

    Respect the polarity, the negative side (identified by the sign on the new capacitor less) on the shady side to the Board of Directors.

    Solder the new capacitor, clip wide leads, any excess back together. Your ' e did!   Good luck!

  • Photosmart C4680: Photosmart C4680 on homegroup printer-considered, but not scanner

    My home network includes a Dell XPS-18 running Windows 8.1 Pro and a Toshiba Satellite running Windows 7 Home.  Our Photosmart C4680 is connected to the Toshiba by USB.  It is shared and is available on the network.  It is used by the XPS for printing and never a problem as long as the Toshiba's online.

    However, I can't find a scanner.  I used it for printing without having to install any software.  When I couldn't find as a scanner, I have installed on the XPS, the HP software suite which is available for download from the HP site, in the hope, there was a special driver for scanning, which would be added.  But that does not change.

    The Toshiba can scan from the C4680.  And I can connect to the XPS via USB and also find a scanner by, for example, opening Paint.net and go to "file |" Acquire | From a scanner or camera.  But when the printer is shared via network it is not considered a scanner on the XPS, although I can print to it.

    How can I use it as a scanner on the network?

    Hello

    MS Windows alow God a printer or files and folders, there are not any sharing scanner capabilities.

    Scanning can only be done from the PC that have plugged USB cable, to scan multiple computers, you will need a network connected device, it can be done with a USB device.

  • Touch Screen chooses options on own HP Photosmart C4680

    Hello

    My HP Photosmart C4680 has a touch screen, which will choose its own options when I turn on the printer.  It 'push buttons' to the different menus, but bottom line, it's gets stuck on a map memory, copy, or scan and then I can connect to my laptop to print because she's busy doing his own selection.  If I try to cancel or to sail with the touch screen it doesn't let me.  I unplugged from the wall and let rest overnight and this still happened. Sometime during the attempts to restart I did the same power kept flashing on and outside.

    Thank you

    TEMPORARY SOLUTION: delete touch screen at a screen, print from the computer. You will need to block the door sensor on the back of the touch screen, plug it back (2 wire ribbons) and delete again each time the printer is turned off or is spent in sleep mode. Better to have all the print jobs in queue upward, and pause, resume when ready. This works for the print mode, but does not allow for analysis.

    STEP 2: Order the capacitor referenced in previous reviews.

  • HP Photosmart C4680 duplexer

    I have a HP photosmart C4680 pinter and I tried to understand what duplexer is compatible with it. I was going to buy this one: http://www.amazon.com/HP-Duplexer/dp/B0018WRNN6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1294256308&sr=8-2 because it seems to be the only one who would possibly fit (based on the form) but I contacted the seller to be sure and I was told that it was not compatible. Does anyone know what duplexer will correspond to this printer?

    Hello Hopperms,

    I was a bit confused by your response, so I checked with a few collages to be sure. And really, the C4680 does not support a duplexer. The body of the printer can have the possibility to connect a duplexer, but this is probably due to the standard body used for different models of printers. This means that you can put a duplexer, but the unit will not know what to do with it. Sorry to disappoint you.

  • Photosmart C4680 - no scan

    Hello

    I just bought a Photosmart C4680 with a new Mac Book Pro in September. Printing and copy functions work well, but whenever I try to scan I get the message "an unknown error has occurred" and the scan is canceled out by the software itself. If I try to start a new search, I get a message that there is a communication problem with the scanner... I tried to restart, stop, change USB ports, uninstalling the software and reinstalling, nothing works. Any ideas?

    Hey people,

    Don't know what the guy said in German, I hope this helps you as well.  We saw this especially when there is a conflict between the old and the new software.  People will automatically run the software on the CD when they set up a new printer.  The problem is the CD is under 10.5, you don't specifically mention what OS you use, but you got the Mac in September, I'll assume it's Snow Leopard.

    Anyway,.

    Uninstall in itself is not always solve the problem, so there is a 'scrubber' in the software that really cleans things.

    Go to Applications/library/Hewlett Packard / click Uninstall HP

    Click on continue

    Highlight your device in the left pane

    Hold down the Ctrl and Opt, as well as Apple and click on uninstall

    There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall all hp software.  (At this point, if you continue, all HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled, this is why we do not run this thing all the time)

    Click on continue

    Let the brosseuse it is.

    After that, add your C4680 with printing and fax and let the operating system to search for updates and others. If it asks you if you want to download them, accept you.

    Who should take care of it.
