• Error running on HP Photosmart c4280 all-in-one.

  Error when extracting downloaded the installer for HP Photosmart c4280 all-in-one. Operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium on a new series of Lenovo's H4.

  Hello BillJK,

  The CD of HP usually have a scrubber on it which removes all traces of the HP software installed on your computer.

  The steps below

  1. Insert the CD in the drive and then cancel Setup
  2. open my computer and click right then on the CD from the drive and select open
  3 open the Util folder
  4 open the CCC folder
  5. If you have an HP computer, run the L3uninstall.bat. If you have a computer not HP, run the L4uninstall.bat
  6. once the uninstall is complete, restart the computer
  7 run the Accessories\ System Tools Disk Cleanup
  8. download and install the latest version of Adobe flash player
  http://get.Adobe.com/flashplayer/

  Once you uninstall everything that we need all reinstall. Because Windows 7 came out after that the printer was manufactored that not all CD come with Windows 7 drivers. I would recommend going back to the Windows 7 install I quoted above to reinstall once you have uninstalled everything.

  Let me know the results once you have done this.

• HP Photosmart C4280 all-in-One: HP Photosmart C4280 all-in-One printer

  I just hung this printer that was given to me (but without the installation disk or manual).  Scanning and direct printing on the printer do not seem to be a problem, but I can not "copy" on the printer.  The copy comes out just of Virgin.

  Welcome to the HP community @lorideeb,

  I saw your post on the blank copies of your Photosmart C4280 and wanted to tender hand to help you with my own suggestions. Personally, I think it might be a problem with ink cartridge, so you would recommend that you try the steps from the link I posted for you below. Also make sure that the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet, avoiding bars power and surge protectors.

  An "Incompatible cartridge" or 'print cartridge is missing, improperly installed, or not intended for your device' Message appears on the computer "

  If you have trouble, let me know and I'll do my best to help.

• Photosmart c4280 all-in-one and Maverics no color printing

  My photosmart c4280 worked for me like a champ for years, that is until what I plugged my new macbook pro with OS 10.9.3 Mavericks. Now the printer will not print in color. I know that he peut still print in color because I copy/print a document in color that I had and it worked fine.  I have ASUs available and, as far as I know, have downloaded the correct driver.

  Any help out there?

  Thank you

  Hi 6pick! Welcome to the forums

  I noticed your post on your Photosmart C4280 is no longer printing in color and would like to make a suggestion to you that might help!

  Try:

  Add the printer again and make sure that you add the HP print driver and not the driver AirPrint

  I hope this works!

• Mac pro book recognizes the printer, but not the scanner on my Photosmart C4280 all-in-One.

• My HP Photosmart C4280 All in one printer does not print

  I troubleshoot the printer and it says that there is no problem.

  Tried to check ink, does not. Checked with MATS and there is no problem.

  is there a problem with these printers?

  Here are three books for this specific printer including how istalll it.  I suggest to download and review them to see if you properly follow the process:http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/manualCategory?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&softwareitem=mp-52220-1&os=219&product=3192753&.  If you have any questions as you go along.  There is a lot of reading, but there's everything you need to know to do it right - it's not just a matter of steps, but also to do them in the right order (and there may be steps that you did not because they were not explained properly).  Make sure you have all the software, drivers and firmware necessary and compatible with both your printer AND your version of Vista.  Download and re - install them again just to be sure, didn't you build a time corrupted version first.

  If those who do not help, contact HP Technical Support at the: http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support_task.html and request their help in istalling the printer and do print and work in all its forms, it should.  They know more about their products that we do.  I'm sure they will be willing and able to help you.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

  Printer does not print.  Computer and printer agree that they are connected.  Area of activities shows 1 document in the queue.  Print preview is correct.

  Hello

  I'll make sure that you turn off all anti-virus programs that you have installed on the PC. Also, I would say uninstall the printer and then reinstalling the software to restore the connection.

• Photosmart C4280 All - in-one printer

  Out of the blue, I have my printer has a message that says that it has not detected a printer cartridge.  After going through the troubleshooting guide, I ended up replacing both my printer cartridges.  This message went, but when I try and print something, it goes to the print queue of the printer which shows an exclaimation point and my printer door is open.  Of course, I checked my door printer several times, and it is closed.  What should I do now?

  First of all, I'm sorry that you are having problems with the printer.

  I would try a hard reset first, is leave the printer and unplug for 30 seconds. This will remove sometimes fake messages.

  Also I would try uninstalling and reinstalling the cartridges if the reset does not help.

  When a solution is found, please indicate the position that solves your problem.

• HP Photosmart C4280 all-in-one: what hp printers use ink 74 & 75? Buy new ink if my C4280 always says 'no cartridge detected ink?

  This printer has worked well in the past. It is a bit old. I used one that has a fax for a while, but after I have does not need that 1, I put this 1 upward again... maybe a year ago? Recently, it does not recognize the ink as being installed. I think I bought cartridges 74 & 75 maybe 2 months ago so that they are fairly new. I looked at the help on this forum and tried from the back and then pull the plug out for 15 seconds and connect again... no help. I read how to remove the cartridges and where the cartridges go in... no help. I even unplugged from the rear and the plug for 20 minutes... no help.

  I read somewhere on this forum without other printers use 74 & 75 ink (or was this one of them?). So if I had to buy new ink and is not the problem...?

  Can someone help me?

  Thank you!

• Mac Book Pro recognizes the printer, but not the scanner on my Photosmart C4280 all-in-One.

  I asked this question last October and it was answered and everything worked perfectly.  Now, my computer says "no scanner is selected."  I was clicking on and clicked on "reset printer", now it doesn't even brings a touch of the scanner click on!  I tried to look back on the post of October 2010 who helped me before, but the solution had me uninstall the HP application and now it is no longer in my applications.  What should I do?  I don't know if I'm explaining this very well.

  Thank you.
