Photosmart pro B9180 firmware update problem

Hello

I have a problem to update the firmware on my HP photosmart pro B9180.

The firmware on it is very old, 20070426.

I m running on a Mac, OS X 10.9

When I tried to start updating the firmware with the firmware update it got stuck after pressing 'continue' on the license agreement page. Through various positions, I found that I had to install the version 10.5 of the HP driver software to work around this problem. I ve done this and of course, he started the next step, "detect devices. The result is that he finds no demanding devices updated firmware that I find hard to believe since it s of 2007. The printer is on the network and I can normally access.

I now have it connected via USB to try another approach. The result is that the phase of "sensors" the update of the firmware ends unexpectedly leaving me with the ability to report it to apple or reopen the update of the firmware.

I ve also tried to use HP Device Manager to check the software updates. This property returns "server is not available. "Please try again later".  Tried for the last two days, but the results are the same.

Any help or pointers is appreciated. If need more information please ask

Hi @Rohdekill

May I ask why you try to get an update of the firmware? I know you said feel you yours is outdated, but I want to say are you a program that allows you to search for an firmware update pushed?

From what I see, there is no updated firmware for this printer. There are updates driver for Mac and the Windows operating system, but no update firmware.

If you have a problem, I'd be happy to help you.

  • Photosmart Pro B9180... Pulling hair out after Win 7 64 of the Vista 64 update!

    Since the upgrade to Vista 64 for Win 7 Ultimate 64 I was able to print in any way useful to my HP Photosmart Pro B9180 via a USB connection or a network of residential group.

    Now, after vainly trawling online and for a solution to my problem for several weeks now, I fear that the £600.00 so-called 'linchpin' my fledgling photographic printing company I've conquered, is in fact a total and absolute "lemon", this much praised (at least I thought that this was the case, having found very little negative comments!) professional photo printer must be honest , "is not fit for purpose". At least when we're trying to operate in an environment of Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit, that is.

    Unless, of course, anyone here can help me.

    After download, install as administrator, do Photo - not if - smart printer by default, uninstalling, cleaning of the drivers and reinstall the Windows 7 driver package: PS_BSIZE_CDA_B9100_Net_Full_Win_WW_130_140.exe several times, Windows still reports that while the printer was installed, it was necessary to troubleshooting. But when I try to the sentence, it is unable to identify what the problem is, before simply dead shooting me and then... Well... Groundhog Day, this is what comes to my mind.

    If I try to add B9180 in devices and printers I get this error message: "Windows can't open add printer." Access is denied. "I tried a new install via a network of residential group, but Windows has reported that it did not have the rights to add the printer to the network!

    As it is, I can't print from any photo editing software, I use mainly Photoshop for JPEG-types and Phase One of the Camera RAW data or Microsoft Office or Open Office document. They all report that no printer is installed on the system when it is clearly. Oddly, it will print if I right click a thumbnail, but it's of little use to me really, as if we were working "blind".

    I tried every step possible troubleshooting available via the support site of the product here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=uk&lang=en&softwareitem=mp-74847-1&os=406...

    In vain I tried some novel I've done for myself and also didn't find any help on Microsoft or in Win 7 user forums. I have an out with HP support ticket, but I'm not holding my breath!

    By the way I can print using the HP Photosmart Essentials program that installs with the driver package, but the software is simply too simplistic for my purposes.

    The situation sucks big time in my opinion and I'm pretty much at the end of my home, with no ideas on how to get to where I want to be on the left.

    Of course, any help is welcome.

    I'm curious, if you can add any printer?

    Try disabling the Windows user account control.

  • Impression of the long panoramas with Photosmart Pro B9180

    Is anyway to get a Photosmart Pro B9180 to print panoramas long photo (up to 42 ")? I've read elsewhere that this is possible, but the maximum I was able to print is 13 "x 19".

    I use the printer with an iMac 27 ", OS Lion and PS Elements 10. I tried to use the tray with paper which was 36 "long. PES 10 allows me to set the desired print size, but it seems to never work when I send the file to the printer. It gives a message that the paper is too short, and then abandoned.

    Hello

    The limits of dimensions mentioned above are the maximum sizes supported by the mechanism of printing equipment and have actually no much to do with the software...

    A larger size is rejected by the censors of the printer... You will not be able to get around him with a software solution

    I am with a problem updating firmware V1.02 for ' DVD-RAM MATA * a UJ - 831S ", according to press [OK] appears the message"THE TARGET DISK no IS NOT PRESENT", as to decide?

    Hello

    Why did you do any firmware update?
    As far as I know the reader uses the Win operating system drivers.
    Also if you have problems with the drive, you must remove the drive from Device Manager. After the restart of the operating system should recognize the drive again.

  • Firmware update problem

    I have a sansa fuze 4 GB which I bought two years ago

    Everything was fine except with the number of files you have in the root folder of music

    A few days ago, I noticed that there is a firmware update available...

    so I did the update (now I v02.03.33F) and I have a serious problem:

    The sound is too low

    is there any solution for this?

    THX

    thx for the quick reply

    I just changed the drive to the North America region and... everything is fine

    thx again!

  • Firmware Updater problems :(

    I just download the Sansa firmware update, and when I go to run it, an error message appears saying "the Installation failed. Please try again later. "I started again and received the same error message. Then I waited about 30 min. and sure enough, same error message. What I'm doing wrong!

    OK, the fact is that 90% of us who have been here very long you will simply ignore the update. On the "rocket", go to settings > system settings > Info and watch the number of Firmware if it starts V01 access the Thread called Fuze Firmware Updater, in the first post to find the update of the firmware that starts V01 and then follow the instructions on this post. If your Firmware number starts V02 find this firmware and follow the instructions.

  • Photosmart Pro B9180 'Replace due to defective print head' WARNING

    My B9180 gave me the msg "replace the defective print head" after a period of inactivity.  I'm using Snow Leopard on a Mac Pro 10.6.8.  The printer went through several periods of non-use, since I bought it used, but almost nine.  Usually, I experience white lines in my impressions after using the printer, I've always been able to fix by cleaning of the nozzles and/or the print heads, either automatically, or manually.  The last round resulted in the warning "defective printhead" even after repeated manual cleaning.  In fact, the process to put off the printer and back, with and without unplugging it, led to 'replace' warnings for ALL the printheads several times, only 2 print heads a couple of times a moment seems to be giving me just the consistantly 'replace magenta/yellow print head.  The strip of plastic that surrounds the ink nozzles is loose to the point of current on the PH.  My printer is no longer under warranty, but before I spend money on phone support and new print heads, I want to look at other possibilities.  The book says that if the manual cleaning of the printheads does not, HP support should be contacted, suggesting that there could be other possible remedies, before you buy new print heads.   I wouldn't begin to buy new print heads to find that again, they will not work because of some other problem.  I am also concerned by the other warnings of print head, even if they did not intervene now.

    Also, opening lid for cleaning of the PH, I noticed a lot of ink accumulate in 4 coarse foam pads, each in its own little tray located inside the printer on the right side.  some of them were overflowing. / I carefully daubbed a part of the ink with q-tips, but I wonder if this condition could be or cause problems.

    Ideas?

    Finally got tired of waiting on HP.  Expected response Bob during the 'days of Forum' or whatever they called.  My problems with their goods should not have affected them too!

    FYI, I ordered a new printhead magenta/yellow, installed and still had "replace print head faulty warning."  Has released the new printhead, cleaned of some sort of clear, gelatinous * beep * of gold contacts with a q - Tip and reinstalled.  Surprisingly, printer started working.  (Took a lot of time to do her routine 'thump, bump & hum'.)  Don't know how long it will last.

    My next printer will be a Canon or an Epson!

  • Firmware update problems

    I'm trying to update the firmware on my Clip +.  I download the SansaUpdaterInstall and run it.  I get a check on the internet connection test and the test of my version of Windows, but it hangs on downloading the last update.  The message is "Please try again later."

    Any suggestions or explanations to this problem?

    Thanks for your reply.  I tried to make a slip and fall on the device name, like I would with a regular flash drive, but who did not work for some reason any.  So I did a cut / paste from my office to the root on the Clip +.  The firmware has been updated immediately.

  • sp40966 drive firmware update problem

    While they inspected the m9400t support page today, I found the following link:

    IMPORTANT - prevent any hard drive crash

    I checked the link and found that I needed this update the hard drive firmware as my main drive is a Seagate 750 GB SATA drive. I've printed the information, then progressed to follow the steps. All is well until the phase of "reboot" and that's when things went south!

    First - when the computer reboots, I had the update screen and saw the message on the interface of disc must be set to IDA and because the mine was set to RAID I reset to IDA and restarted.

    Next - screen update again and began the process of update. Received a message that file binary download was complete. Following message "trying to read HP26CE3D.bin ', and this is where things went"South ".

    After seeing this message for ~ 30 minutes I had the feeling that nothing was happening, so against the warning messages on the screen to update on "do not restart", I did a power reset off.

    On the start of Vista could not start and I had the repair screen 'System '.

    Long story short, after several attempts to reboot the system using my diag CD material and my system restored I got the answer of the CD.

    On the next attempt of cold start, I used F10 and reset my disk for the original RAID interface and the system booted!

    So, I wonder just what is happening. What has the RAID vs IDA to interface to update the disk firmware?

    Anyone else out there there is a problem?

    ATTENTION: I cannot always be right, but I always give advice.
    Kudo accepted with gratitude if I have been of help to you.

    GOOD NEWS!

    Yesterday, I downloaded the update sp40966 on the site of HP support and installed without problems or errors! I now drive HP26 firmware version on my Seagate 750 GB drive. I don't know that what has changed, but the installation goes smoothly. Here are a few observations on this installation vs the other installation I tried that failed.

    1. this time the installation I have no advice or warnings on affecting the drive interface in bios RAID IDE as with the previous installation.

    2. once the bootable CD was created when I opened it I could see the files and folders in contrast to the previous three CD

    3. I'm a happy camper now. I'll mark my issue as resolved.

    Thank you to everyone who took the time to respond to my problem and now: "this case is closed the King!" (the last is for we all had to grow up with radio instead of television. Live long and prosper!

  • Desire X 2 Firmware update problem

    Hello. I have a craving for X 2. I'm trying to update my firmware (currently in F06, this is what I got with the PC) for the new F07 tries to solve the problem of blocking with the envy of X 2.

    I downloaded from hp.com and when I run it, I see the screen of the upgrade which shows the previous FW (F06), destination (F07), then the PC reboots and when it starts I still F06.

    I also downloaded the version FW F04 to check if I managed to roll back and the same behavior: looks like it gets, but when it starts, I still F06.

    Any idea on how to solve it?

    I installed W8Pro and I'm on the latest drivers

    Thanks in advance.

    Just in case someone looking for him in the future, I could upgrade to F07 using UEFI tool, which runs from the BIOS.

  • Impossible to print on Mac 10.6 Snow Leopard - Photosmart Pro B9180

    Hello.  I installed 10.6 and I can't print. When installed it detected that I had drivers for the B9180 there and has given a message to tell new pilots would be installed compatible with 10.6. This is the error message when I try to print:

    "You must install the software to use this printer. To install the software, choose software update in the Apple Menu. If the software for your printer is not available in software update, contact the manufacturer of your printer. »

    So I uninstalled the old drivers for 10.5 because it said the were not compatible with 10.6 on the link below and I thought that was causing the problem.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c01855252

    Still have the same error message.  Then I uninstalled all the HP drivers and ran the update from the Apple software.  I need HP drivers and install them, it detected. But it still does not work.

    Anyone got any ideas?  I'm going round in circles on the HP website and Google trying to figure out if 10.6 has built in drivers for the B9180.  Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

    Thanks for replying so fast. Very much appreciated. I downloaded these drivers from Apple Support , but they did not work.

    I had already seen the HP link

    However, read the HP link made me think about something else.  It tells you the impression Q should be already there but if not it tells you how to add the printer.  My printer was already there after the installation of 10.6 and that's how I tried to print (using the old feel Q) so I decided to remove the printer and then add it to the.

    It worked!  So I can now print 10.6. Hooray! I tried only a basic page, nothing complicated and it came out OK.  I'll test with some of my work, and I hope it will be OK.  (There is another post here who complains of a dominant in the green color prints - hope that I do not understand this).

    Thank you once more you answer - although I had seen the link forward - looking again made me try something else and it worked - in any case, the problem is solved thanks to your comments!
