Photosmart Premium C309-g software thinks printer is already installed

Since I installed Windows 8.1 scan my Photosmart Premium C309 printer would not work.  I deleted the printer and associated software.  When I try to reinstall the printer (from the original disk or downloaded files), the last installation screen.  The software considers that the printer is already installed.

Hello @RGHolt ,

Welcome to the Forums!

I understand that you are having problems with the installation of your printer from the upgrade to Windows 8.1. Here's what I suggest:

HP Officejet software and driver removal utility    (Run level 3 Uninstall to remove all the files)

Reinstall the printer using the printer HP install wizard for Windows

Let me know how it goes, hope it helps!

Kind regards

    I can print anything on my HP laptop, but I can't print emails from my wireless HP Photosmart Premium C309. What could be the cause?

    OK, the printer is connected to your router fine, so the problem is probably in your PC.

    I recommend you to uninstall the HP software (with uninstalling HP), reboot, then download the latest version of the software for your printer from the "Support & drivers" link at the top of this page.

  • Photosmart Premium C309-g: the drivers and the printer software will not be installed.

    My network all-in-one Photosmart Premium C309-g worked very well on my desk until recently, when suddenly the HP software could still see and connect to the printer, but Windows 10 could not. I tried to remove the printer and uninstall all associated software, then tried to reinstall the software. Unfortunately, the installation will not get to the point where it starts and then suddenly disappears with no trace of her still running in the background. I can deviate from the default installation and bring to the top of the page to select the components that I want to install, but when I do the button 'ok' on this page does not work. No matter how many times I click on it, the page remains open and the installation will not so fast. If I click Cancel on this page, it disappears and the installation back to the previous page, where I can choose to continue and happen almost immediately out of sight again. This happens whenever I try to install selected software and drivers. I deleted the printer from the devices page in the Panel, I made sure to this it is not is more listed in the Manager of peripheral devices (printers and imaging devices), I removed the Windows 10 print queue and I deleted all the data of the folder under the Program Files (x 86) HP folder on my hard drive. I also disabled Windows Defender and run the installer as administrator, yet none of these steps help the process at all. I have never, in my 20 + years using nothing other than printers HP, encountered a problem like this. I'm used to receive error messages during the installation of software to fail, but I have never had a process simply disappear from the computer without leaving any trace of never having run. I hope that someone out there has an idea, that I have not thought yet, transferring files to my tablet to print from becomes a pain in the rear.

    Welcome to the HP Forums @GarfieldFan1969,

    I understand the printing software will not fully installed for your Photosmart C309 on your system Windows 10, and I wanted to answer with my suggestions for trying to help! Here are my suggestions for you to try. When you are finished, please let me know the results and problems or errors that you may encounter!

    First step: clean boot, restart the PC and try the install again.

    1. start by typing "msconfig" in the search box of Cortana, and then click MSConfig (run command)
    On your keyboard press Windows + R key at same time and type Msconfig in the run window, and then click OK or press ENTER.

    2. now, choose Selective startup

    3. Remove the check of the Load Startup items

    4. click on the Services tab

    5. check "hide all Microsoft Services" and then click on disable all

    6. click apply , then OK

    7 restart the PC and temporarily disable firewalls or antivirus programs

    8 run the Installation Wizard for Windows HP printer to install the printer

    9 turn on the firewall and start services

    Second step: you unregister and re-register the Windows Installer Service:

    1. hold down the Windows key + R to fill the box "Run" and type cmd.exe, and then click OK.
    2. at the command prompt, type msiexec /Unregister , and then press ENTER.
    3. at the command prompt, type msiexec/regserver, and then press ENTER.
    4. at the command prompt, type exit and press ENTER to close the command prompt.
    5. run the Wizard for Windows HP printer installation

    Step 3: run System File Checker Scan (up to 3 times) to repair the corrupted system files:
    1. go to start
    2. type CMD
    3 right-click and run as administrator
    4. to check and repair the OS type sfc/scannow (note the space between sfc and ' / ')

    You may need to run this upward to 3 times to solve all the problems

    When finished, it will say one of three things
    Windows did not find any breach of integrity (a good thing)
    Windows resource protection found corrupt files and repair the (good)
    Windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some (or all) of them (not a good thing)

    Try to reinstall the printer.

    Step 4: activate the built-in Windows administrator account

    source

    1. first of all, you'll need to open an administrator mode command prompt by right-clicking and choosing "run as Administrator" (or use the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + Enter in the search box).

    Note that it works the same in all versions of Windows. It just search for cmd and then do a right-click on the icon of the command prompt in the start menu or the boot screen.

    2. If you are in Windows 8.x or 10 you can click on the Start button and choose to open a command prompt in this way.

    3. now type the following command:

    NET user administrator / Active: Yes

    4. you should see a message that the command completed successfully. Log out, and you will now see the administrator as a choice account.

    (Note that this screenshot is for Vista, but it works on Windows 7 and Windows 8 and Windows 10)

    You will notice that there is no password for this account, so if you want to leave it enabled, you must change the password.

    Try to reinstall the printer.

  • Photosmart Premium C309: Faulty Error Message prevents printing.

    4-5 years used as stand-alone Copier only - NOT connected to a computer.  Was working fine, but 2 months ago got the error message "load paper into the main tray ' although the right type paper and the amount is loaded correctly.  Message and flashing lights must be cancelled manually.  Monitoring troubleshooting instructions re: loading, jams etc exactly as HP comes with paper unit.  Best Buy, a retailer, n 't printer repairs.  I followed the instructions on the page re HP online support: cleaning of the rollers - power of EXACTLY, but still does not print because the paper tray think is empty.  HP says they can't stand any more of this product.  I know that these printers are cheap these days, but it seems a waste just throw something out when the solution is perhaps a minor (but unknown!) fix.  Any ideas anyone?

    Hi @RLE41,

    Welcome to the community of HP,

    I understand your Photosmart Premium C309 gives you an error "on paper" and the printer does not pick up paper.

    Looks like you have exhausted all troubleshooting solutions available for this issue. All I can recommend is to contact HP telephone support to see about a replacement or upgrade.

    Contact HP:

    Step 1. Open the link: www.hp.com/contacthp/
    Step 2. Enter the product number or select Auto detection
    Step 3. Scroll up to "still need help? Fill out the form to select your contact options.
    Step 4. Scroll down and click on: contact HP options - click Get phone number
    File number and phone number appear

    Good luck with your printer.

  • Print via Wi - Fi on Photosmart Premium C309 connection problem on an iMac and MacBook Pro

    Hi all

    I just bought and installed a Photosmart Premium C309.

    I am running the latest Mac OS 10.6.5 on two computers: an IMac and a MacBook Pro.

    The printer software installation went well and I was able to print via USB cable.

    Then I connected the printer to my wireless network (Modem-Router: Fritz!) Box Fon WLAN), again without problems.

    I printed out a page of the control panel the printer network Test and got "no problems found. Congratulations on the successful your printer wireless installation.

    But when I tried to print via the wireless network, I continued to get "printer offline".

    I have disabled the firewall on the computer but no joy.

    Now, I'm unable to print via the USB port that the printer is "offline".

    Help!

    Thank you

    Problem solved! It has to do with Hello.

    When you set up the printer with the HP installation wizard must install the Hello printer drivers when you are prompted to choose the drivers. Simple.

    Thank you.

  • HP Photosmart Premium Fax all-in-One Printer series - C309

    I am interested in buying the HP Photosmart Premium Fax all-in-One Printer series - C309.

    But I'm confused and apparently other people are also confused.

    For example, in the item number 360189568370 eBay, the seller wrote that the C309A "REPLACES PART NUMBER CC335A #ABA".

    However, in this eBay listing, the seller wrote "this auction INCLUDES HP C309A multifunction PHOTO PRINTER CC335A #ABA".

    I've seen similar confusion on other Internet sites.

    Is there a difference between the C309A and CC335A #ABA?

    Is the the latest version of the #ABA CC335A C309A?

    Should I buy directly from HP of course get the latest version of the Photosmart Premium Fax all-in - One Printer series - C309?

    The name "HP Photosmart Premium Fax all-in-One Printer series - C309" is the trade name for the printer, and CC335A is the product number/product code. Both refer to the same device. The description of this seller on Ebay is confusing. But I hope this helps.

    And just like AlmostThere said to have bought the printer from HP directly is the safest way to go.

  • HP Photosmart C309 all-in-One: erase all memory of all-in-one Photosmart Premium C309

    I have a Photosmart Premium C309 all-in-One, which must be recycled or donated.  It seems to be broken because the transport will not return and the error message says there is a paper jam but it is there in no paper in the printer.

    Before you get rid of it, I want to ensure that all memory is cleared of all components.  How can I do this and is it possible if it does not work properly?

    HP inkjet printers have no drives in them until you get something like an Officejet Pro machine series X.

    Printers without hard disks don't keep documents in memory once the power is turned off, the only exception being that sometimes a fax remains a document in memory until they are printed once they are printed, they are gone.

    I took a quick look at a picture of your model and have worked on similar models, none of them had hard drives installed.

    So basically, is it safe to launch it won't be anything stored on it.

  • Can not get queue on Photosmart Premium c309

    I just installed a Photosmart Premium c309 printer, I connected through the USB line to a HP Pavilion which has Windows 7.  I just can't get anything to print.  Each document is in the queue and does not print.  The scanner function works fine, the copier on the printer function works very well.  I deleted and reinstalled the driver several times – both on the disc that came with the printer and a driver downloaded from the HP website.

    During installation, I am asked to choose a picture to print, there are in the print queue.  If I try to print a test page, it is in the print queue.  How can I get this to progress so that actual printing occurs?

    Update: I found the print diagnostic utility 3.0 on another page of this Web site.  Downloaded and installed, followed the instructions, and my problem was solved.

    Edit:

    I know that maybe it's a little late to come and see this post was several months ago, but I had the same problem.

    I ended up turning off the machine and opening printer and check the ink cartridges (I had seen just to find the part number for a new cartridge).  I found that the blue cover which snaps into place on the ink cartridges was broken not closed completely.  This has caused the printer constantly tries to go into maintenance mode, but it could never align cartridges.  She also told me that there is a paper jam, even when there is no paper in the machine.  I even let the maintenance run all night without success.

    Once the cartridges have been broken in place and the blue cover has been fully guaranteed, the printer worked.
