OfficeJet J6480 hangs my PC!

Windows XP Home SP3

OK, here's the background.  I don't use much the 6480.  Last night when I tried to change the font in a Word Document, it froze.

After some Googling my symptoms, I learned that others had experienced problems with corrupted printer drivers.

I uninstalled Solution Center, drivers and any other labled HP.   I downloaded the last series "drivers only" and installed them.

Now the machine is very slow when:

  • I turn on the printer
  • try to select properties in the control panel of configuration/Printers and faxes
  • try to change a font in Word.

Two things: first the hard drive light is on constantly for about two minutes before the machine

"thaws", second Process Explorer shows nothing, hogging the CPU or excessive i/o.

not even a Word.

It's like everytime I try to do something that needs the driver, the machine goes hog wild in search of

something on the hard drive.  I don't get either errors or pop-up windows.

It was working fine a few weeks ago.  The drivers are in conflict with a Windows Update?

Help!

I found the problem.  This is the update Zone Alarm V8.  See the link:

http://forums.ZoneAlarm.org/ZoneLabs/board/message?board.ID=inst & message.ID = 81278

I had to uninstall V8 completely and reinstall V7.  Funny that it was only the driver HP

SW that has been affected.  Everything was OK on the machine.

  • All-in-one HP Officejet J6480: google cloud print

    I wonder how (or if) I can save my all-in-one HP Officejet J6480 printer use Googe Cloud Print?

    I had advanced under Chromebook settings then Google Cloud Print and when I click on manage printers he says there is no devices available and I want to register the device.

    Thanks for any help with this!

    Hello @CookinCo22 ,

    Welcome to the HP forum.

    I understand you're wondering if you can set your J4680 until chromebook.

    For a printer can be configured on Google Cloud Print, it must have the functionality of the web services.

    Unfortunately the J4680 doesn't have this feature.

    If you have a PC or a Mac, you can set up a conventional printer.

    The downside is that you should have the PC or Mac turned on to be able to print from the Chromebook.

    The positive side is that you can print your chromebook.

    I hope this helps you.

  • I have a HP officejet J6480 all-in-one printer. The screen is white and yellow light flashing

    I have a HP officejet J6480 all-in-one printer. The screen is blank and there is this little yellow light flashes on the Cancel button.  I can not print or fax anything because the screen is empty. Since the light started to Flash the entire printer has not worked. Can someone please HELP! : womansad:

    Well, if you haven't tried this and then create a coercive power reset:

    Do not activate the wide (although you can), remove the power cord at the back of the printer. Wait at least 30 seconds, then reconnect the power cord to the printer. Turn on the printer. If that clears up the flashing light/white screen, then try printing etc...

    If this is not the case, see if something visible is originally the error state such as paper jam, odd items in the printer, nothing fancy. Also try to plug the printer directly into the wall outlet as opposed to a look/power surge Strip, or even try a Jack in another room if it is not successful.

    HP will provide an update to fix this problem?  If anyone has had the same problem (if so, how fixed?)?

    HP has pushed down the updates on a week earlier for my HP Pavilion Elite e9270f running Windows 7 64 bit home and domestic all-in-one Officejet J6480 which are connected wirelessly via my network.  HP Solution Center had worked for several years until then, but now can no longer connect to the J6480 with all the features.  Devices and printers in Control Panel displays the connection.  HP HPHNDU.exe utility displays the connection.  Print from works of MS Office products as ok HP Solution Center no longer works.  I can't scan documents to the PC (that it is pulled by the PC or pushed by the J6480).  I used http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02266743 instructions and the software of HP Officejet and Driver Removal Utility OJJ6400_Scrubber_13.exe to remove all aspects of the printer and the software.  Then reinstall them using (with HP printer install wizard HPPIW.exe), but the new installation also fails linking the center of solutions HP (printing still MS Office programs).  According to me, it is a plague of HP inflicted that should have a solution from HP.  FG 120201

  • Quality color, printing photos on OfficeJet J6480

    The color quality seems very poor, with a bluish tint. When printing photos on my OfficeJet J6480. Cartridges show plenty of ink. Any ideas?

    Thank you

    RV

    Hello!

    With this printer, I found this tree of the article:

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/documentSubCategory?tmp_rule=7423&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&DLC=en&lang=en&LC=en&product=3635378

    Here I'd say work items on the colors bleeding into one another and any material to help get this resolved related.

    Typically, this can be solved by cleaning the print heads and contacts within the printer. Be careful when you perform these steps well and I would say following the guide carefully.

    I hope this helps!

Once you have confirmed that your labels are properly loaded we will test print in order to confirm if the problem is resolved.

    Step 1: Load the paper:

    1. lift the output tray.

    2. Insert the paper with the side to be printed down along the right side of the status bar. Make sure the stack of paper is aligned with the right and rear of the tray edges, and the height does not exceed the line marking in the status bar.

    3. slide the paper in the tray to fit the paper size you have loaded.

    4. lower the output tray and pull out the tray extension.

    -Source

    • For the labels, you can load up to 100 sheets of labels in the paper tray at the same time.

    Once the labels have been loaded properly, please print a test to confirm if the paper feed problem has been resolved. If the problem persists please let me know that the size and weight of the paper label is that you use.

    Please reply to this message with the result of your troubleshooting. Good luck!

  • Black screen when scanning with Officejet J6480

    Printer HP Officejet J6480 all-in-one, Windows 7 64-bit,

    When I scan everything I get is a black screen. I ran the scan doctor and the report said everthing works properly. I don't get anything no matter how I run the scan. Can anyone help?

    Nope.  This isn't a party that has been designed to be replaced.  I'm sorry.  You may be able to run again to do a reset full semi.  For your printer, make sure that the machine is under voltage and unplug the printer.  Keep it # and 6 keys on the keypad of the printer.  With the # and 6 key held down, plug the printer back in.  Once the lights come on, release the # and 6 key.  Be aware that to do a complete reset semi resets everything on the printer.  If this does not work, the only other option is to get a new one.  The last model that would be similar to what you would be the OfficeJet 6600 or 6700 OfficeJet.  Technical support may have another choice for printers reconditioned if you give them a call.

Help! It's exhausting. Thank you.

    Hey @extremelyP,

    The 'Send Fax' screen was to appear, it doesn't appear that you have added the driver for Deskjet replacing portion of your printer Fax. Normally, under devices and printers, you will have two copies of your printer. The first example would be the real printer driver. The second copy would be the Fax from your computer's fax driver part. In saying this, I will just cancel you it that we just finished and test print. If the printing problem persists, we will add the driver replacing again and things must be a lot smoother.

    Step 1: Remove the driver:

    1. Open the display Start by selecting the Windows icon at the bottom left of your computer screen or by selecting the Windows key on the bottom right of your keyboard to the left of the Ctrl key
    2. On the start screen, type programs and features

    6. Then, please reopen the Start screen. This time type devices and printers. Click on devices and printers to the start
    7. In the file devices and printers, if you see your HP Officejet still listed, please, right click top and select "remove device' or 'Remove'.
    8. Once the device HP Officejet was deleted please click left once on any device used to indicate the heading Printers and fax machines . You just want to highlight the device
    9. Then click on the print server properties at the top
    10. Under the print server properties, click the drivers tab
    11. If you see your HP Officejet driver showing under the list please click on it. Then, click Remove. Click remove the pilot from the box pop up
    12. Click OK
    13. On the print server properties window, click apply and OK
    14. Close Devices and printers

    Step 2: Install the Driver:

    Please click here to download and install the driver package for your printer. Once your HP Officejet is reinstalled successfully please test printing. If the printing problem persists, we will still add the other pilot.

    Step 3: Adding a driver replacing:

    1. Open the display Start by selecting the Windows icon at the bottom left of your computer screen or by selecting the Windows key on the bottom right of your keyboard to the left of the Ctrl key
    2. On the start screen, type devices and printers. Click on devices and printers to the start.
    3. In the devices and printers folder right click on your HP Officejet J6480 (not the Fax version)

  • Left click on printer properties
  • Left click on the Advanced tab
  • Left-click on new driver
  • When the new driver window just press 'Next' until you see a list of manufacturers on the left and a list of Printers on the right.
  • Select HP as the manufacturer on the left
  • DeskJet 6980 select the printer on the right. Choose HP . If Deskjet 6980 does appear to only select "Windows Update" at the bottom left and once the update is completed, you will be able to select Deskjet 6980.
  • After selecting Deskjet 6980 hit Next to complete the wizard driver new
  • Under the printer properties window, select "Apply", but don't hit not OK
  • Select the general tab
  • Rename your HP Officejet J6480 printer
  • Click OK
  • Then, right click on your HP Officejet again and select printer properties
  • Click the device settings tab
  • Under Installation Options click on the drop down menu "unit duplex (for printing on 2 sides)" and replace the "installed".
  • Once the settings have been adjusted click apply and OK
  • Once the other pilot has been added successfully, please test print to see if the problem is now resolved.

    Please let me know if this procedure works for you. Good luck!

  • OfficeJet J6480 continue to feed the blank sheets after the last page of the print document then blocks.

    When you print a document on my OfficeJet J6480, once the last page printed, the cradle of the cartridge moves back several times, then one or two white sheets feed through the printer. Sheets then another feeds and jams, requiring the duplexer to be deleted to clear the jam. This happens on 95% of the print jobs sent to the printer.

    Windows XP SP3

    Unfortunately, the troubleshooting steps a false paper jam and find a real fundamentally the same.
    I included a link to a document that is for a paper jam error. However, I'm sure you did 1st two solutions and if you please go above them, I want you to try, is the cleaning of the rollers and the duplexer and reset the products and checking the firmware to ensure that it is up-to-date. These solutions are listed in the order and you can find instructions step by step in this link for each step. Reset will be particularly important because it is one of the most effective tools to correct the problems of material with a printer.
