My hp photosmart C4680 will not go into stand by mode

My printer will go in standby mode it prints blank pages approximately every 10 minutes and goes on all day and night the only way to stop is to turn off the printer. Has only started doing the last two weeks. Have rebooted and makes no difference. Anyone know what I can do to stop it.

Hello Lollypop123,

Welcome to the HP Forums.

Generally, when this kind of problem happens, it has to do with a problem of power or in most cases, are missing.

Please make sure you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a bar/power strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer for example, but it is intended for HP products in general. Please click the link which explains the problems when connected to an uninterruptible power supply/Strip/surge protector power.

When the printer is connected to a wall outlet, and it is running back, please use the power button to do a proper feeding cycle.  This will make a partial reset on the printer.

You are more than welcome to write me again if you have any other questions or if the troubleshooting does not help to solve your problem, I suggest you then call HP Technical Support to see all the other possibilities for you. If you call in North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, please click here: click here.

Thanks for your time.

See you soon,.

    Hi all

    My printer does not print (the document is sent to the print queue, but is never printed) and either copy (it just says: "copy" on the screen, but it never does).

    It has been a few months since I use it, but it worked perfectly the last time I did...

    Any suggestions?

  • S2409W, setting HDMI will not go into power saving mode?

    So I searched high and low on these forums of the Dell Community (and other sites) and I've not seen this documented problem. The problem I have is when I plug the cable HDMI to computer (Tower slim 530) to my s2409w, I get a nice clear picture and everything works as expected, until I put the computer in standby mode.  The computer sleeps, but the monitor turns off almost as if he was going to sleep, but then display Saver screen default monitor that says "hdmi cable does not exist.  What I was expecting the screen to go to power save mode. When I use my DVI or VGA cable and put the computer to sleep, the computer and the monitor switch mode 'sleep' as expected.  This problem only occurs with HDMI. I tried setting the screen "automatic detection" and "hdmi" for the selection of cable and no work to put the monitor to sleep. Anyone has a solution, or similar experiences?  I've seen a lot of posts on power audio hdmi save the problem, but not with this one.

    -Thank you

    I know this is an old thread, but I had the same problem with another Dell monitor and a homemade computer.  In another thread, someone said that some cables HDMI I have this problem, and others do not.  I just wanted to confirm that it IS THE CABLE.

    I swapped HDMI cables with my TV.  The TV had a cable older and thicker.  Immediately after that, the monitor will now sleep just right.  What I can guess is the skip of thin cables really cheap make the connections required for this feature since the TVs didn't have standby mode.

  • Software HP Photosmart C4680 is not compatible with Windows 7

    I recently updated my HP Pavilion DV5-1138-nr laptop to Windows 7. I managed to reinstall all my software, but the software on the drive for the HP Photosmart C4680 will not install. I have no problem to install the drivers because they have already integrated into Windows. But it would be nice to have software that tells me when the ink will run out, so I know when to buy more ink. Basically, it says that I can not install this software in "Run As" mode... ", which I am not. He says I need to be connected to an Administrators account, but I am logged in as one. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

    Thank you.

    I suggest to disconnect the printer from the computer, uninstall the drivers, then download and install the driver HP recommended here.

  • HP Photosmart 3210 will not install on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

    HP Photosmart 3210 will not install on a brand new desktop running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.  I downloaded the latest software, and when I run it, the installation window disappears shortly after it starts.  No error message.  I ran into several related issues lately.  I can't install a ScanJet 5590 on a new laptop running Windows 7 Pro 32-bit.  Said it ends, but nothing is installed.   Could the fact that there are other HP printers installed on these computers (network printers) installed using driver only before attempting to install the software cause problems?  I spent hours trying to solve these.

    OK, much better progress!

    If the software is always installed, tell him you'll connect later.

    Go to devices and printers, look for the printer here, make sure you that no documents waiting to print and delete the printer if it is there.

    Then go into Device Manager and remove all photosmart series 3200 drivers you find, you may need to click displays hidden on the view menu.

    Thirdly, go back to the devices and printers. Select another printer, as the writer XPS comes with Windows. Along the top, with adding a device, add a printer, print server, you will see properties. What to choose and go to the tab drivers. If you have the HP drivers in there you do not, select them and choose delete and "delete the driver only."

    Now restart and go to your Start menu and your HP folder. You must have installed the software, just no device driver, select "add a device" or "printer setup and software." Installation should complete without problem.

    One last thing, you must temporarily turn off firewall and antivirus installation, in which case he mistakingly tries to block the attempt to install.

    Good impression!

    Looks like you get an error message "the file (s) would be too long for the destination folder. You can shorten the file name and try again, or try a location with a shorter path.

    This normally occurs when the file system is corrupt.
