Photosmart C4680 impression with shadows

Can anyone help? Whenever I have print anything print has a shadow, I don't know how to change it. It says also on the printer test page.

I read footerjr problem (blur printing) and it sounded very similar to mine so I tried the solution suggested by InkDude to align the cartridges (that I had tried before and failed). This time it worked, I can now print mail and documents without any problems. Thank you.

  • Photosmart 6520: Photosmart 6520 impression with El Capitan

    Hello

    I've just upgraded to a new iMAc OS X 10.11 El Capitan running. Not surprsingly my printer Photosmart 6520 wouldn't print after implementation of the new system. I followed the instructions online and downloaded the latest software of printer driver on the HP site. I noted that it was for the previous OS Mavericks. Downloaded and installed successfully and everything seemed in order. However, I am still not able to print a simple word document. In the utility dialog box printer, I get the message that the print is "order - incapable of start-up session, result = - 10, 1 page'."  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Note, this is not a problem with thewireless network I can print documents in online test on the HP support site.

    See you soon,.

    After having in vain with all previous attempts, the problem of the printer was resolved yesterday by downloading the OS X, El Capitan 10.11.2 software was last updated.

    Although not specifically mentioning any improvements put to date regarding printing, it solved my problem as soon as the update has been installed.

    If anyone else is having problems printing to an HP printer, you use El Capitan, and even download the latest printer driver software, update of El Capitan would be following procedure I would recommend.

    Good luck

  • HP Photosmart C4680 scanning problems with Snow Leopard

    I have a HP Photosmart C4680 All in one printer/scanner

    Since upgrading my imac (early 2009 model) to Snow Leopard I have had problems printing and scanning

    My scanner has never worked since the upgrade

    printing has been uneven at best, but seems to be more reliable in the last week or two, since I downloaded the hp apple update the driver through the printing software update on my mac.

    I deleted and reinstalled the driver several times

    but nothing works

    whenever I try to scan something my printer, the hp scanning software begins to open on my imac, and their broken quickly

    If I try to open the program to scan my iMac, it crashes

    Help!

    I need to be able to use the scanner

    That is why in the first place, I bought the printer/scanner combo

    You must run the cleaner, if the question of fixing is not a standard uninstaller program.

    Uninstall in itself is not always solve the problem, so there is a 'scrubber' in the software that really cleans things out.*Note * run this will remove all software that has been installed, HP so you will need to reinstall all other HP printers that you have configured.

    Go to Applications/library/Hewlett Packard / click Uninstall HP

    Click on continue

    Highlight your device in the left pane

    Hold down the Ctrl and Opt, as well as Apple 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, this is why we do not run this thing all the time)

    Click on continue

    Let the brosseuse it is.

    After that, add your C4680 with printing and fax and let the operating system to search for updates and others. If it asks you if you want to download them, accept you.

    Who should take care of it.

  • Software HP Photosmart C4680 is not compatible with Windows 7

    I recently updated my HP Pavilion DV5-1138-nr laptop to Windows 7. I managed to reinstall all my software, but the software on the drive for the HP Photosmart C4680 will not install. I have no problem to install the drivers because they have already integrated into Windows. But it would be nice to have software that tells me when the ink will run out, so I know when to buy more ink. Basically, it says that I can not install this software in "Run As" mode... ", which I am not. He says I need to be connected to an Administrators account, but I am logged in as one. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

    Thank you.

    I suggest to disconnect the printer from the computer, uninstall the drivers, then download and install the driver HP recommended here.

    Thank you

    It works!

    And you were right, I had to uninstall and reinstall the PhotoSmart software before you install the OCR software.  I had updated to version 13 of PhotoSmart 12 version that was on the CD supplied with the printer.  I got the message "OCR application is not required" when I tried to install on version 13.   Uninstall and revert to the version 12 allowed me to then install the OCR.  I'll go with version 12, it has everything I need.

    I think it is strange that HP it so hard.  After successful installation, I changed from a customer who felt he was ripped off (after being sold nonexistent OCR) to a satisfied customer!  HP should at least have a link of his C4680 software page to the OCR software and indicates the software OCR is working on the C4600 series.

    Anyway, thanks a lot rhanman for your help and for the time and effort in replying to my query.  I greatly appreciate it.

  • HP photosmart C4680: HP Photosmart C4680 printer

    Photosmart C4680 printer will print correctly. Problem follows:

    1. Press on print
    2. Printer makes a noise of switch for several seconds
    3. Athens printers normally feeding paper & prints correctly.

    Noise distribution is done before printing each page. Feeds correctly.

    Need help before ruining printer.

    Thanks John M.

    What a pleasure to receive a response. Unfortunately, took all the steps without success. You took note of cliqueti noise that continues after all the inspection. I observe that the rattling noise occurs when the transport is on the right side of the printer. When you move the carriage to the left & with a flashlight, I saw a black glob in the extreme right under where the transport would be. What key it seemed to be a deposit of black as ink. Do not think that this isn't the ink as empty cartridge or showing empty.

    The printer has served faithfully for time Believe + 5 years came for the replacement. However, t would be nice to know how this has happened.

    I thank for the help & you can be sure that the replacement will be a model of HP.

    Thank you venny1.

  • HP Photosmart C4680 problem

    In recent days, I noticed that my Photosmart C4680 is blower bike itself on and off.  Anyone else have this same problem?

    Does anyone know why its doing?  Y at - it a solution?

    Just do the repair. It was a bad capacitor on the logic board (TEAPO brand). There's that one to replace on this printer and it will probably look like curved on top (which indicates which are blown).  It is 330uF 6.3V, but I got in a little bigger (16V, whatever they had in 330uF) and it works perfectly now. It's an easy fix, if you aren't afraid of soldering a component. It will cost about 60 c with a value of components. (and a kit of solder so you do not have a)

    Open the scanner cover and the door of replacement ink. Reach behind the control panel and gently push a clip for the exit sign. He will reveal a hidden torx screw. There are four total screws to remove the top, and you can use a torx bit, or if no practice, the right to an allen key size.

    Once you get the top up the rest of the printer, you must pull carefully on some connectors that attach to the logical map of its orbits. Some are simply Ribbon connectors and some wire connectors. Set the top aside.

    Identify the bad capacitor on the Board by checking the upper surface. It is a green, a thin color that says TEAPO on it and if it is indeed the defective component it must feel to be curved on top.

    Remove all the other connectors on the Board and unscrew 3 torx screws to remove the Board of Directors of the printer.

    To unsolder the bad capacitor, it can be easier at first it break so you can extract each lead with pliers, one at a time when the application of heat on the side welding.

    Respect the polarity, the negative side (identified by the sign on the new capacitor less) on the shady side to the Board of Directors.

    Solder the new capacitor, clip wide leads, any excess back together. Your ' e did!   Good luck!

  • Photosmart C4680: Photosmart C4680 on homegroup printer-considered, but not scanner

    My home network includes a Dell XPS-18 running Windows 8.1 Pro and a Toshiba Satellite running Windows 7 Home.  Our Photosmart C4680 is connected to the Toshiba by USB.  It is shared and is available on the network.  It is used by the XPS for printing and never a problem as long as the Toshiba's online.

    However, I can't find a scanner.  I used it for printing without having to install any software.  When I couldn't find as a scanner, I have installed on the XPS, the HP software suite which is available for download from the HP site, in the hope, there was a special driver for scanning, which would be added.  But that does not change.

    The Toshiba can scan from the C4680.  And I can connect to the XPS via USB and also find a scanner by, for example, opening Paint.net and go to "file |" Acquire | From a scanner or camera.  But when the printer is shared via network it is not considered a scanner on the XPS, although I can print to it.

    How can I use it as a scanner on the network?

    Hello

    MS Windows alow God a printer or files and folders, there are not any sharing scanner capabilities.

    Scanning can only be done from the PC that have plugged USB cable, to scan multiple computers, you will need a network connected device, it can be done with a USB device.

  • Touch Screen chooses options on own HP Photosmart C4680

    Hello

    My HP Photosmart C4680 has a touch screen, which will choose its own options when I turn on the printer.  It 'push buttons' to the different menus, but bottom line, it's gets stuck on a map memory, copy, or scan and then I can connect to my laptop to print because she's busy doing his own selection.  If I try to cancel or to sail with the touch screen it doesn't let me.  I unplugged from the wall and let rest overnight and this still happened. Sometime during the attempts to restart I did the same power kept flashing on and outside.

    Thank you

    TEMPORARY SOLUTION: delete touch screen at a screen, print from the computer. You will need to block the door sensor on the back of the touch screen, plug it back (2 wire ribbons) and delete again each time the printer is turned off or is spent in sleep mode. Better to have all the print jobs in queue upward, and pause, resume when ready. This works for the print mode, but does not allow for analysis.

    STEP 2: Order the capacitor referenced in previous reviews.

  • Using a Mac OSX 10.8.1 and HP Photosmart C4680

    I have a Mac OSX version 10.8.1. I can't print with my HP photosmart c4680, even though I have uinstalled and reinstalled the software several times. I tried to turn on and off the printer sharing, and nothing works. I had to print once, until I unplugged it from my computer. When I tried to use it again, it did not work.

    Should I go and buy a new printer? It is only 2 years old, but I'm frustrated non-compliance.

    Thank you.

    How long the used USB cable?

    Please ensure that it is not longer than 2 - 3 m long.

    As ewll make sure that it is directly connected to the Mac and not via a USB hub or extention.

    If you have an iMac, make sure that the cable connected to the back of the MAc and not not the Apple keyboard ports that are not powered.

    Then I would try to replace the USB cable, it seems more likely a problem with IPC communication system.
