My photosmart C5180 printer blocked to come fully to the start screen

Out of the blue, my printer blocked to come fully to the HP splash screen. He just keep going through this thing 'Hourglass' loading, over and over again. I tried the printer and then turn it on again, with no luck. I also tried to unplug it and by him plugging back in

Nothing happened so he can do, it just happened one day, when I went to print something

Is my printer broke up for good, or is it possible to fix without spending [a lot] of money?

-Melissa

I'm afraid that the printer is toast.  There is no way to fix it, so the only option is to replace it.  I'm sorry.

  • Wireless laptop cannot connect to Photosmart C5180 printer on network

    I recently got a new computer, which is the main connection to our home network.  We have a laptop and a Photosmart C5180 printer.  I can't get the wireless laptop to connect to the printer, even though I have the shared printer on the pc.  I have the printer connected to the pc via a USB cable.

    I see the printer shared and available on the laptop, but get the error message when you try to print.

    Does anyone know what I'm missing that will allow me to print from wireless laptop?  It worked until I'm the new pc, so I know I'm missing something.  Should the laptop have both installed printer software/drivers?

    Yes, the printer directly connected to a router with an Ethernet cable will be the simplest solution.

    Yes, all computers will be able to access the printer on the network as long as they are connected to the same router (Ethernet or wireless, regardless).

    He shared from the computer and the printer connected to a computer with a USB cable are not a real printer on a network.  This creates what is essentially a print server and the computer with the USB connection manages the interaction of this printer with all the devices on the network.

    A USB connected printer sharing can be done, but it's a lot more work that the printer is connected to the router with an Ethernet cable.

    It's really a lot more work to set up the printer with a printer shared over a network connection USB method true when it comes to do this with Windows 7.

    Windows XP made it incredibly simple, but he was not very secure on a network.  With Windows XP, all you had to do was to share the printer, and then install it on another computer.

    With Windows 7 on both computers, you must configure a homegroup, enable file sharing and printers (disabled by default), share the printer and install the printer on the computer client / remote.  In addition, this method will require the host to be on anytime for remote printing machines.

    The printer is connected to the router with a Ethernet means that the functionality of the printer depends solely on the router being on (most are on 24/7).  Computers will print regardless of the other computer either on or off.  There should be a shorter time in the impression that a computer is responsible for printing rather than two computers.

    Again, I will be more than happy to help you set up with the method USB shared with two Windows 7 computers if that's what you want.  You find that it is much easier to use the Ethernet connected method to be simpler and more efficient to print well.

    If you want, here's a little more information from Microsoft on sharing a printer between two units of Windows 7.

    Setting up a homegroup

    Activate the file & printer sharingand sharing the printer on a Windows 7 computer

    As long as the printer & file sharing is enabled and two Windows 7 computers are in the same group of residential, you should be able to use the USB share method.  Without these two two options being Setup, it simply does not work with two Windows 7 systems.

  • When I print, the printer sounds like its printing but nothing comes out on the page. What should do?

    I just installed an hp F4480 printer, my roommate gave me.  My OS is Windows XP.  When I try and print or copy something the printer looks like it's printing and the paper passes by like it is printing but nothing comes out on the page.  Perhaps is out of ink, I guess, but I don't know how to say and I don't want to spend $50 to get a new non-refundable ink cartridge to see.  I did a print test page and the only thing that came out was a light that said the Page of Test printer Windows XP Blue cap but nothing else was on the page.

    It's really a problem of HP, not a Windows problem, and you should look for the HP Support help site.

    However...

    One of the lights on the printer are flashing?  There are 2 'estimated ink level lights' on the front panel.  See http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01673672&tmp_track_link=ot_faqs/top_issues/en_us/c01673672/loc:3 & cc = us & dlc = en & lang = en & lc = en & product = 3742086

    Genuine HP ink cartridges are installed?  The cartridges have been completed?  How long did it that the printer is correctly printed?

    When you installed the printer, you have installed the "HP Toolbox" application (or you simply download and install the basic printer driver)?  See http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01892627&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&lc=en&product=3742086#N44

  • HP Photosmart C5180 printer range: computer says it is printing, but will not be printed

    My printer was working fine until yesterday. The display shows 'printing', but nothing happens. I tried to turn it works, made sure I've had connections in place and give him a rest from one day to the next, but she still does not print. Thank you for your suggestions you have!

    Welcome to the HP community @fondyia,

    I read on how your Photosmart C5180 is no longer printing from your PC running Windows 10, and I want to help you get this resolved!

    I suggest first trying the steps described in this guide:

    Tip: Make sure that the printer is plugged directly into the wall, avoiding bars power and surge protectors. This ensures that the printer is full on.

    When you are finished, please let me know the result. If there are printing problems that are still visible, try to make a copy of the printer and tell me what's happening! If you see errors, made me know what they say, if you please!

    (Please try to print from more than one program on your PC)

    If one of my suggestions, helped to reach a solution, I ask you to click on the button "Accept as Solution" please and thank you!

    First thing you should check is the print settings in the driver.  You must ensure that the driver know that you want to print in color and black and white only.

    To check/change the settings of your printer driver:

    1. From the desktop, click the Start button.
    2. Click on Control Panel.
    3. Find printers and fax machines.
    4. Once your in the folder printers and faxes, find your printer.
    5. Right click on your printer.
    6. Click on Preferences.

    Now you should be in the area to check the layout and paper/quality settings.  Make sure it is set to print in color.  Don't forget to look through the advanced options.  Make sure that it is located and let me know what happens.

  • Photosmart 8450 prints only black and white with the new Mac with OS 10.6

    I just bought a new Mac with OS 10.6.  (former was OS 10.5)  Now my Photosmart 8450 will print only in black and white.  I installed the single upgrade on the site of HP, no change.

    Is there an other update I need?

    You want to disable automatic session opening, which may be why it behaves in this way.

    Go to System Preferences

    Go to security

    Under "for all accounts on this computer", place a check mark next to 'turn off automatic connection.

    In addition, I do not know if you set a password for the test account, but put something simple as 123 - just something / anything.

    Once that is done, choose log in the Apple menu, or reboot. This should bring you to the login screen where you can specify the account to enter.

  • Photosmart C5180 - printing stops when the any ink cartridges run dry - what is happening with this?

    My C5180 does not print anything, apparently because the cartridge Light Magenta Ink. I have given levels of gray, black ink only, but it persists in telling me to replace the color cartridge. Can it be good? Is it really necessary to buy a new cartridge in order to use the printer printing black ink?

    Thank you.

    Insert the printer installation CD in your cd and cancel any window of installation. then type "X:\util\ccc\uninstall_L2.bat" in the run window (replace "X" with the drive letter of the CD drive the CD instalalion is located in..). you will get a black command prompt window that will feature instructions. Follow the instructions carefully. Once installation is complete, it can ask you to reboot, then do it.

    then start the installation once more. 's done it, you shouldn't face this problem.

    Hello.

    Our printers do not come with USB cables.  If you do not have a cable connected to a previous printer, you can buy any B USB standard cable locally has to establish the connection.  It is a pretty common cable located at most major retailers office supply or electronics.

    The iP2820 can only be used with a USB connection.  It doesn't have wireless capabilities.

  • Photosmart 4380 prints a sort of codes, not the document.

    Recently, I borrowed my neighbor 4380 photosmart printer because I needed it for a few days before the arrival of my other. I use windows7 & after a few teething problems, downloaded the driver from HP and went without any problems. I returned the printer today & it attached to its macbook T4 with OS10.  (forgive me because I'm not familiar with the Apple software; I am a user of windows pc) I plugged on her laptop but when I was trying to print a document on his macbook, print preview went well, but 1st printed page has the following:

    "%! PS-ADOBE-3, 0% RBINumCopies: 1% Pages: (atend) % APL_DSC_Encoding: UTF8 %% TITLE (P'

    It is followed in many blank pages, which I can only stop pressing the button cancel on the printer.

    There seems to be a few codes that have something to do with Adobe, but it is not a document pdf printing.  Please help me because I don't know if it's my need or something else. She is very computer illiterate & I don't know of all software apple but I feel responsible or not is my fault.  By turning the printer power off & on did not help.  Help me.

    Ron

    Here are a number of things:

    -Go to the Apple menu (upper-left) and choose about this Mac.  Tell me what version of Mac OS X that he uses.

    -Go to the Apple menu, choose System Preferences, then Print & Fax.  Click on the printer in question to select.  Now, delete and add new first using the sign less below the list of printers, and then sign it.  Re-try printing.

    We'll see how it goes and go from there.

  • My officejet 6500 e709n makes the sound of printing but nothing comes out on the page. thoughts?

    I replaced the ink cartridges, cleaned the print head, turned switch, unplugged for a reset and reinstalled on my computer (Mac OSX 10.5.8).

    Nothing seems to be a problem with the printer visually - not clear jams oddities in the internal mechanisms.  He just "pretended" to print.

    Some error messages I received early in the troubleshooting process has suggested that ink cartridges are not compatible with the device (they are) and a warning to use the power button before turning off the power.

    There are more messages on the screen - complete just the icons of ink.  Everything seems normal.

    Thanks for your time!

  • How to fix color on skin tones in a printer Photosmart c5180 on Windows 7?

    Good afternoon

    I use some time a Photosmart C5180 printer to print on A4 sheets, capture some of my Nikon D90 photos.

    If the prints generally show a reasonable quality, I was quite wrong with color moving in much darker tones of skin that appear more pink and against nature.

    Does anyone have the same experience or know how to solve the problem?

    Thank you

    It does not help.  As the calibration option is not there, it may be because you have the version of Solution Center does not offer this option.  If I remember correctly, it was deleted in the later version because it has been incorporated in the own options or alignment.  I think that the problem is in the print or color management driver in the computer.  The only option to tailor color management is in the printer printing preferences.

    1. Click on the start menu.
    2. Click devices and printers.
    3. Right click on printing preferences.
    4. Click the Advanced tab.
    5. Change the setting of the HP real life technology.  If it is check, uncheck and visa versa.
    6. Try to print the photo again.

    If changing the color management setting does not resolve the problem, then follow the document below to assign the printer to use a different printer driver.  I recommend the 990c Deskjet.
