When scanning or copying a document produced to get an a completely black page.any ideas? Using Windows 7 64 bit.
Hello ebray
Since then, it seems that you might have a hardware failure, and it may need to be repaired or replaced. I have included a link to the HP support numbers and the HP trade-in program where you can trade in the printer for another HP printer off credit. If you wish, I can help you to choose a different HP printer if you go this route.

Photosmart C5180 scanning and copy problem
Scanning and copying service, computer and also the printer button produce entirely black (not empty) pages with lines vertical and horizontal of different shades of black.
Uninstalled, reinstalled, used doctor scan, download software uptodate and the driver. What can I do else?
Author: heborn
Hello 11540.
Try to reset the all-in-one (turn off and on again).
Then try to copy using the control panel buttons, but open the scanner cover to see if the light is turn on. If this isn't the case, then I'm afraid this is a hardware failure and you will need the service unit.
See you soon!

Photosmart 6510e scanning/copying issues
I have a photosmart 6510e. Whenever I try to scan or copy, all I get are vertical multicolored. I just bought the product at the beginning of August. My software has been installed by best buy. When I tried to print at home, the printer did not work. I reinstalled the new software and managed the printer to the network. However, can't do anything but multicolored vertical when I scan or try to copy. Any suggestions?
If you get vertical lines on scans and copies usually the cleaning scanner glass usually fixes the problem. I've included a useful document , which you can use to aid in the cleaning of the glass.
Let me know if it helps.

Used to scan HP photosmart C4280
Hello
I hope someone can help me,
I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and since then, I tried to use my HP photosmart c4280 to analyze my work.
I keep getting messages ranging from "scan cannot be initialized" "unknown error" "no scanner not found" etc. Everything worked fine until I upgraded my mac, and since then I downloaded and upgraded my hp, the latest drivers software, etc. and still nothing. I tried scanning through different programs - photoshop, preview, directly from a scanner, etc. and nothing. I have reset my printers on the system prefferences, I uninstalled and reinstalled the software and I tried everything on the forums here and still nothing.
I really don't want to pay for an another printer/scanner when this one is very good and works perfectly well. All other functions work too.
Help, please!
Thank you

If you are using Snow Leopard or Lion and you have the HP software before Snow Leopard (either from a CD that is not marked as compatible with the 10.6/10.7 or you recently upgraded to Snow Leopard or Lion and had the software HP on your Mac before you upgrade - even if you made a standard from the old software uninstaller or installed new software on top of it) , you must uninstall the software by using the "scrubber":
Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard / click Uninstall HP
Click on continue
Highlight your device in the left pane
Press and hold Ctrl + Alt + Cmd keys on the keyboard at the same time as you click on uninstall< this="" is="" the="" scrubber="" option,="" there="" is="" no="" button="" labeled="">
There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall all hp software. (At this point, if you continue, all HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
Click on continue and let it finishRestart your Mac
Download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
Now reset the printing system:
-Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
-Right (control) click inside the box that lists your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - This will remove ALL your printers!Finally, download and install the latest software for your printer from the "Support & drivers" link at the top of this page.

I've recently upgraded to Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6) and print with my Photosmart C4280 very well (connected by USB). I followed all the steps listed on this webpage below to configure my scanner and uploaded the drivers directly on the Apple site:
http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c04510394
I was finally able to get the icon scan to appear in the printer (in System Preferences/printers & Fax) Brower window using the "Important witch hunt" on the site above, so then I tried and then click on "Open Scanner." But when I try to open the scanner via the system of preferences--> Print & Fax option, the preview option or the option of Capture of Image, I get a message that says "try to login to scan... "but it is never any more than that. I currently have this message for at least 5-10 minutes without change. I checked that the USB cable is connected to my computer and the printer, and the power cord is connected to the printer and a power outlet.
Please help me to recover my scanner!
Did you reboot your printer, computer and router?

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

C410a - problems with scanning and copying
Recently bought a new computer (Windows 7 64-bit). The old computer had the c410a Photosmart all-in-one installed and works without any problem. PCMover to transfer files from the old computer to the new. Had some problems at the beginning, but downloaded the drivers for the c410a and could do print from the computer. However, it does not scan or copy. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the software several times to drive and keep it for the same problem.
If I try to scan or copy of the printer, I get an error message saying that I should try to scan/copy of the computer instead. When I try to use the HP Solution Center, I get an error message that says: Hpqdirec.exe - system error - "the program can't start because libexpatw.dll is missing on your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this program. "Then a second message appears that says Configuration ASF Broadcom -"system is busy and can not initialize. Try again later. "As I said, I tried to reinstall the software that came with the printer several times and still get the same error messages.
So, what don't get me?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
Well, I think that I thought about it. When I reinstalled the software, I assumed that all software has been reinstalled. But apparently, only the drivers were installed and not the HP Solution Center software. Is returned on the disc, saw a button for installing additional software, and then installed the Solution Center and that seems to have solved the problem.

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.

Photosmart C4280 does not print on OS 10.6.3
Hello
I've had this printer (Photosmart C4280 all-in-one) for over a year now and it was working fine. However, when I went home last November, I installed my most old (Officejet G85). Then, when I came back, I tried to print a document, but it wouldn't print. I googled the question, have searched forums and tried the HP Solve part of the problem, but to no use. I have also reinstalled the printer three times, but that has not changed anything.
The printer prints the page of test without any problem. The "error" print queue appears under the status tab, but gives no details.
I use a MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz on a Mac OS X 10.6.3 with the latest HP 10.3 suite.
Any help is very appreciated.
OK, we are going to completely uninstall all software HP on your Mac in this way:
Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard / click Uninstall HP
Click on continue
Highlight your device in the left pane
Hold down the Ctrl and Opt Cmd and click on uninstall
There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall all hp software. (At this point, if you continue, all HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
Click on continue and let it finishNow run a software update.
Then, remove and reinstall the printer in System Preferences, Print & Fax.
You do not have the software now since Snow Leopard as well print & scan drivers built-in. scan from Preview apps or Image Capture. Scan from the front panel of the printer does not work yet.

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
