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:

Mac OS X: how to reset the printing system

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

I hope this works!

    After I've upgraded to Windows 10, I downloaded the HP software and re-installed my ols HP Photosmart C4280 all-in-One Printer, which works very well.  But now, I can't find a way to run wizard printer.  I want to scan a document, and there is no icon on the desktop to start the software.  Anyone know where I can find the Printer Wizard file to run in order to run this software and create a desktop icon?

    Because the Printer Wizard says that you have the software, we will check the computer again. Please type Solution Center in the box search and see if the program is displayed.

  • 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 "

  • Photosmart C6380 all-in-One: Photo ink instead of printing ink (Dutch HP)

    My printer keeps using ink photo instead of the printer ink, but it seems to me impossible to change. I found a solution somewhere on the forum to check the box "use black ink only" in preferences > advanced > grey but it is not this option in the Dutch version...

    I have already tried several things: cleaning the printerheads, handed over to defaultsettings, try changing preferences with the HP ePrint, printermaintanence of the printingheads and cartridge, etc...

    Please help me to be able to use my printer.

    Welcome to the HP community @IrisvdL,

    I stumbled on your post about how you cannot select this option to print in "black ink only" when you try to change the settings of the printer for you Photosmart C6380 and I wanted to answer. Although I'm not familiar with the Dutch language, I suggest you make sure you download and install the full feature software and driver on your computer to have access to all the options of the printer.

    Click on this link to download the driver and software: series all-in-one printer, HP Photosmart C6300/6324 full feature software and driver

  • Want to 120 all-in-One - can't get color print?

    Working with a device like 120 all-in-One using Mac OS 10.9.  Whenever I try to print, the paper is still in black and white.  I guess I have some defect on but can't find it to correct.

    It happened when we bought first the HP device, running an earlier version of Mac OS.  Just downloaded the driver for Maverick, and I thought that would fix the problem - she didn't.

    Any suggestions?

    Hi DFDon149,

    I understand that you don't get any color on your impressions using the Mavericks OS X do you uninstall the previous software before using the Maverick update software? I would like you to take a look at OS X Mavericks v10.9: installing and using the printer on a Mac.

    If you did all the steps listed in this document and the color is always outside, please look at the suggestions on the Forums of Support from Apple. It seems that installation of the Gutenprint driver corrects the color on the issue.

    Please let me know if it was successful!

    Thank you
