• 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.

  Hi Colin,

  Thanks for the information.

  It seems that this problem is hardware related. Misaligned cartridges can do that.

  Please refer to the procedure described in the following link to resolve this problem.

• The connection failure Photosmart c4680 to PC via USB on Vista

  I just bought a new Photosmart c4680, applied the drivers from the cd and when I tried to install the USB and start using the printer.  I entered 'Add a device - Photosmart C4600 series' and follow the two steps - 1. Make sure that the device is powered on and 2. Connect the USB cable. When I plugged the cable I got the following message 'USB device not recognized '. Then I reinstalled all the drivers for the printer and received the same message. I thought that the problem is the USB cable, because I use one of my old HP printer.  I went to the store to buy a new cable, but when I explained the problem to the Adviser he assured me that I have to find another solution, because if the cable works with the printer older there is no reason to not work with the new.

  So I need help, definition of the connection.

  I bought a USB cable and everything is ok now.

• 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.

• 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!

• 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 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.

• Cannot figure out how to connect HP Photosmart C4680 to my network without Setup CD

  Currently, I moved to a new apartment and I am now trying to set up my HP Photosmart C4680 printer. I have problems connecting my printer to my network wireless with my MacBook Pro computer. The current version is 10.6. I downloaded and installed all necessary drivers and software from the Web site: HP's Web Site. When I go into the installation process he never asked if I want to connect the printer to a wireless network. I just blazes through the installation and said: "Congratulations!" You have successfully installed Photosmart C4600 series." I called HP and they said they can help but its going to cost money because my printer is no longer under warranty. I hope someone could shed some light on my situation.

  So I thought to it. My girlfriend and I just moved into an apartment together and I both are "identical" printers in my office. After a full day of trying to get the first printer to work, I looked at mine and saw a sticker on the front of it wireless. I watched his and realized that his is not the sticker wireless. Then I looked at the model numbers and realized his is a HP Photosmart C4680 and mine is a HP Photosmart C4780. So what I did, I used his MacBook Pro (Version 10.6.8) to download the software for the HP Photosmart C4780 from the HP Web site. I have connected feel to the Mac via USB and begin the installation. During installation, it asked if I wanted to set up the printer to a wireless network. I said "Sure!" He asked for the network I want to use and then set up the printer to the network. Then I had to go to "Print & Fax" in "System Preferences" to add the printer. After that, I was ready.

• Drivers and software for Photosmart C4680 not compatible

  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. I waited 15 minutes to see if he would have done to install and nothing happened. I did the Compatibility Test for it on 8.1 Pro and he says it's not compatible with 8.1. What gives and how I get this to install and works so I can use my printer?
