Photosmart c6380 connections

Just got this printer for Christmas and I need help setting up on my network!

My ISP is Orange and I have a Livebox (Orange wireless router).

I have a Windows XP desktop computer (no wireless card) which is connected to the Livebox with an Ethernet cable.

I also have a Windows Vista laptop, which has wireless card and it connects wireless to Livebox.

I note the installation guide of the printer connections must be either all wired (via Ethernet) or wireless, of course I can't do that unless I have install a wireless card in my office.

I currently have a printer HP5600 connected via a belkin usb network hub which I can access my office computer & laptop (this is related to the Livebox and requires my office to be marketed to print from my laptop).

Is the best solution to use the USB connection (i.e. replace my current printer in a similar situation), or invest in a wireless card for my desktop computer? Do I lose any functionality if I go the USB route?

Anyone had any experience of implementation with an Orange Livebox?

Any advice would be welcome!

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your reply I will definitely give it a go!

I managed to install the printer via a USB port and it works for my laptop & office.

The only problem I have is that the C6380 will not pass when a print job is sent to him (unlike my 5600 printer that works perfectly). I have to * beep * up-stairs and turn the knob on until I can send a print?

Thanks again

  • When Photosmart C6380 connects to the router Netgear WNDR3400, internet connection lost.

    Using HP Photosmart C6380 wireless connection to a Netgear WNDR3400v2 router.  When the printer is on, all devices of lose the internet connection, but can be crazy.  Network WPA2 authentication. the printer shows WPA authentication configuration page so maybe that's the problem.  How can I keep my internet access while the printer is connected to the network?

    FRST, make sure that your router has the latest firmware.

    Let's define an IP address static and exeternal DNS of the printer:

    -Print a the front of the printer Network Setup Page. Note the IP address of the printer.
    -Enter the IP address in a browser to reveal the internal settings of the printer.
    -Choose the network tab, then wireless along the left side, then on the IPv4 tab.
    -On this screen, you want to set a manual IP address. You must assign an IP address outside the range that the router sets automatically (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') 250
    -Apply the subnet 255.255.255.0 (unless you know it's different, if so, use it)
    -Enter the IP of your router (on the Page of the Network Config) for the gateway.
    -Enter for the first DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for second DNS. It's Google DNS. You can choose a different external DNS if you wish.
    -Click 'apply '.

    Now, stop the router and printer, start the router, wait, and then start printing.

    After that, you will have to redo 'Add printer' using the new IP address.

  • Photosmart c6380 fax put in place - do I need and how to connect

    I have a photosmart c6380.  I want to use the fax feature. The present printer/scanner are ed wireless hook.   Do I need a fax modem?  If so what kind? How do I connect it?  Thanks in advance

    Hi matman69,

    Unfortunately, this printer is not configured for the fax.  You can scan a document and attach it to an e-mail.  There are pay sites on the Internet that will allow you to send {or receive} a document from your computer to a standard fax machine.  An example would be eFax.com...

  • 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

    If that does not give you the option of selecting black ink only, then I would recommend contacting HP directly to see if a technical support representative can connect remotely to your computer to help others.

  • Problem cartridge Photosmart C6380 ink cartridge appears to be missing or damaged

    When I installed a new cartridge black HP, after the existing black cartridge HP showed no black ink on paper, the message on the screen says "Ink cartridge problem - the following ink cartridges appear to be missing or corrupt" and indicated that the black cartridge was at fault.  I tried an another new cartridge HP black and had the same result.

    I can't use the print head clean installation/tool while the message remains.

    I have reset the printer (several times) by unplugging the power cord from the printer, while the power was on, wait at least 30 seconds and then reconnect the power cord to the printer.  All to nothing does not.

    Any help you can give me would be much appreciated.

    Thank you.

    After having tried many suggestions from the Forum, including cleaning the printhead twice, I abandoned all hope and withdrawn for all connections of my Photosmart C6380 and instead, began to investigate other (not HP) printers.  A few days later (I'm slow nine material selection!), I thought I would connect my printer to my computer for one last try.

    AMAZING RESULT!

    The printer has recognized all the cartridges HP 5 as he had already said that the (new) black cartridge is missing or empty.  It then proceeds automatically to clean and align the cartridges, taking more than 10 minutes in the process, and finally it print a sheet showing that the printer was working again.  I had to restart the computer before I could print normal leaves.

    It seemed to me that the printer for a long period of isolation meant the printer lost recorded "information" and so had to start again.

  • HP Photosmart C6380 does not scan or print photo with Windows 8

    Just bought HP M6/1125DX/15j with Windows 8. My current HP printer is a HP Photosmart C6380 All In One.  The printer does not work, but the photo and analysis part icons no longer appear which were on my front desk. I tried to download the entire program which said would update my printer, but after 6 tries to one hour each, at the end he just said my download has been cancelled. Is there a chance that my printer will be supported by Windows 8 and how do I do that if I can't download.  Or am I stuck buying a new printer? Thank you

    Photosmart C6380 all-in-One installed the printer almost all the way to the wired network. Then, he fails to finish. I've even set up 100%, then get a fatal error. I uninstalled the software, rebooted the computer, reset the printer and that she fails. I cannot go into the printers info via my browser, but something in the printer software is a failure.

  • How to remove, head clean print Photosmart C6380. 6515 Photosmart ink cartridge compatibility

    I had found information several months ago on how to remove and clean the print head, but I can't find it now.  I replaced the Photosmart C6380 with a 6515 Photosmart because when the 6380 stopped working I had to buy a large amount of ink and the 6515 used the same ink cartridge #.  However, the 6515 will not accept the cartridges with the error message they are an older generation.  I think that if the cartrides were not compatible, a number of different cartridge should be used.  So now, I want to try to solve the problem with the C6380 printhead, so I don't have to trash my entire ink supply.

    Here is a document on how to clean the contacts on the cartridges themselves.

    I think that the removal of the print head and of cleaning you're wanting is in this post here.

    Please note that soaking the print head should only be performed on the print heads that are out of warranty. Check that warranty end date to the printhead located by the contacts on the print head to make sure he went from warranty. The reason I put in custody which is a printhead soaking, a guarantee will be cancelled.

  • HP Photosmart C6380 does not print the entire page

    My HP Photosmart C6380 will not print whole pages.  Some lines close to the end of the page are not printed.  From time to time, it prints the whole page.

    Hi mercierm,

    Welcome to the HP forums!

    I see that you are working with a Photosmart C6380 and sometimes it seems not to print the whole page and other times he does it. I'd love to help you find a solution to this problem

    To start, you are able to print an extended self-assessment report and it came out completely, or if you make a copy of a complete page, never there issues? This will contribute essentially to determine if it is the hardware or software, but since it seems to be sporadic we are not able to limit too much more. You can also try the steps of cleaning in this document "on paper" Error Message and the printer is not Pick Up or paper feed .
