Photosmart c7180 all in a printing problem

I bought my Photosmart in 2006 (?) and have never had a problem until now. I have always used HP cartridges.  I tried to print photos and found that black and no red ink would print. I replaced the magenta cartridge (which showed very low) and I tried again. No change. Except that the new magenta cartridge leaked inside the printer.   Reset to the factory settings, printer alignment cleaning print head produced no results. Is that what I can do or is it just time for my wonderful to be replaced printer

Hello Lzrd52,

I would say, it's time for a replacement.  If you get 5 good years of printing, you did well.  There are many improvements that you bought you printer ink yields as well as features.  You could probably buy another Printhead and could possibly fix, but it may not.  You get more for your money, to get something different, rather than put the half the cost of a new printer, fixing this one.

If you are in the United States, call and see what you have options.  You can at least take a decision at this time.

Good luck!

  • Problem with the HP Photosmart C7280 all-in-one printing. Ink system failure could not copy-

    I'm having a problem on my HP Photosmart C7280 all-in-one printing. The following message appears, this is what came on the screen of the printer: ink system failure has not not able to copy, receive faxes or print. Refer to the documentation for the printer error O.cl9a0007.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Hey Spider! First of all welcome on the forum.

    I recommend to remove all ink cartridges, disconnect the USB cable from the computer that connects to the printer and then turn off the printer completely by unplugging the power cord. Then, restart your computer. Turn on the printer but leave that he disconnected from the computer. After that he ended his power over the cycle forward and reinsert the ink cartridges in the printer and make sure their seat correctly.

    After you have all the cartridges in the printer correctly, then connect it to the computer. See if that fixes the problem. If not post back with no results.

    Thank you

  • Problem with the installation of the solution Center for a HP Photosmart Premium all-in-one printer - C309g

    Hi people,

    I searched many threads and found some tips to remedy this, tried and had no chance.

    I am running Windows 7.  All updates are underway.  When I bought the printer, I installed the software (on Windows 7 OS) from the disc and everything was fine.  Fast forward a year and Solution Center has stopped working.

    Uninstalled all HP software to reinstall.  I could only reinstall HP Update.  I was able to load the basic print and scan drivers, but not following any software, including solutions Center.  Installation stops abruptly after "install updates".

    I even downloaded and tried "PS_AIO_06_C309g-m_USW_Full_Win_enu_140_175" and got the same result as the original installation disc.

    What can I do with my printer (HP Photosmart Premium all-in-One Printer - C309g)?

    Thank you

    I put a document on the glass of the printer to make a copy. The command is recognized, but cancelled immediately. The first two attempts were given a bit of text/photo about 1 centimeter.

    I used the doctor scanning HP and installed my printer again, but that has not helped.

    Hi RodeDraak,

    Given that the problem occurs when you run a copy, I hope that the problem is the printer hardware not the software on the computer.

    You have the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or is this a surge protector or power bar? Even if you have used a surge protector/power bar this whole time and you feel that this is not the case, please connect to a wall outlet so that we can eliminate the source of energy as the primary cause.

  • Photosmart C7280 all in one printer keeps giving me expired ink cartridge warning

    My Photosmart C7280 all in one printer Guard giving me expired ink cartridge warning.  The cartridge has expired, but I want to continue to use it as it still has ink.  Is it possible to turn off these warnings to be boring?  I can't print until I have to recognize them!

    @ CoolBreeze202 - I'm sorry that you are having this problem with the ink cartridges and the ink expiration error message.  You can try to clean the contacts on the cartridge and the contacts inside the machine to ensure that built up on the parts are not the source of the error message. Pages 163 and 164 of the user manual will show a manual cleanup process.

    I would also do a hard reset to the printer to try to clear the error message and return the printer to a known working state. No user settings are lost with a hard reset.  Here is a link that will show you how to do a hard reset on this machine.

  • Photosmart C8180 All-in-One printer that turns off completely in the middle of printing.

    I have a Photosmart C8180 All-in-One printer that powers completely in the middle of printing, wasting time, paper and ink. It restarts also sometimes more and more and more and sometimes it stops and all the lights blink quickly, show an on-screen error code. During these periods, the power button seems useless. I use the printer with a HP Pavilion dv7 laptop running Windows Vista and an HP / Compaq Presario Windows XP.

    When the C8180 works correctly, it's great. But I can't allow myself to be play roulette of the printer. Help, please. Thank you.

    Thanks to kkcb9395 for your help.

    Unfortunately, I have not found a solution to fix my HP C8180. The 800 number only referred me to another number (866-234-1377) where someone in India tried to sell me a phone support or a new printer. Phone support will not fix a burned capacitor and the new printers HP scan slides. Not to mention the $100. new ink I'll have to eat if I can't solve this problem.

    I remember that I kept getting error messages when Microsoft Updates running on my computer and I followed some "fix" for the error to go away in a few months.  I think I should have done something to mess up my driver?
    I'm not computer savvy so I hope someone out there can help me get my printer, re-installed and the scan option to work again.
    It seems to me have tried every download from the HP Web site, and nothing seems to help!

  • HP Photosmart Plus all-in-One Printer series - B209a

    Hello

    I have a problem with my HP Photosmart Plus all-in-One Printer series - B209a printer.

    It prints a picture by using too much magenta.

    When starting the printer, I got a message saying that I had to replace the magenta toner with a new one. I did as instructed. I printed a new document, but it came out in magenta.

    Even if the other cartridges were not empty and yet I replaced with new ones, thinking that maybe the ink dries up because I have not used the printer for a few months now. I used all original HP XL cartridges.  Subsequently, I printed testpages 5 before you print my picture.

    The printer uses all colors now, but it uses too much magenta to print my photo.

    I used the printer for several years now and never had this problem before.

    Is this a problem that can be solved?

    Troubleshooting steps described in this document can help solve the problem.  Be sure to check the vents to make sure that they are not plugged.
