• 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 I know you said feel you yours is outdated, but I want to say are you a program that allows you to search for an firmware update pushed?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.

• 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

• 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!

• 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!

• OfficeJet Pro 6830: After winning 10 ipgrade lost the Scan from the printer function

  Update Win 7 Pro.

  Digitization of works normally in the HP Support Assistant (fully updated) and inside my desktop (the .bin file) application where I have access to all the functions of the printer.

  Scanning initiated by the product of the printer normally but in the end, it fails with an error message.

  The error message reads:

  "The HP scanning Application could not save the file to the specified location.

  It is same location Assistant support and the decstop succesfully registers, namely

  C: Users/username/documents.

  Is this a form of rights issue administrator/access, I wonder because he is obviously not a driver issue or a printer.

  Thank you very much in advance for any wisdom.

  You know @Scarguts, I have to be honest, I don't know if it is a question of rights, or if there is something wrong with the destination of your choice. I choose a new destination and try to scan the image. You can make this change in the printer Assistant software.

  This will help isolate the problem.

• Photosmart Pro B9180: Exhausted ink with new cartridge message

  I had 2 showing depleted, inks Light Cyan and Magenta, so I replaced them both.  After a bit of memorization and re - insert, I managed finally to get the LC to be accepted, but kept showing Magenta empty ink Replace cartridge. Finally I managed to get the printer to accept the cartridge by removing the yellow and magenta and the closing door ink cartridge so this printer it has advised both cartridges where either missing or damaged. I then re inserted the Magenta cartridge and closed the door and waited for the error message about the yellow show and then re-inserted cartridge yellow. The printer then went to the ready state. Hurrah! After a print test sheet and a couple of head cleans and then some photos on plain paper I tried to print on photo paper. At half way through printing the machine stopped and threw the message for the Magenta cartridge is exhausted. I cheated once again the printer twice to remove the yellow and magenta cartridge and put back as before. It has managed to get at the end of printing, which indicated that the heads remain a pure which I proceeded to do. Unfortunately the printer cannot again print throwing up the message that the Magenta cartridge was exhausted and needed replacement.

  After doing a lot of research online, it seems it is a common problem, but what I failed to find are solutions even on the HP forum.

  Is this a problem with the cartridge having questionable chips? Is this a problem with the printer, chiefs or general design?

  I really need an answer that will prevent me from buying inks Dungeon I am wasting money. I have tried all resets as described in other posts here. Unfortunately once the exhausted ink message nothing different pose can be done as the printer all crashes.

  Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

  Hello Jabzi,

  an update on printer problems. Following your last message, that the printer has again stopped work while I followed your advice and tell me the magenta was exhausted that I knew, that it could not be. In any case, I decided that the cartridge must be defective, so I ordered a new one. The next day, waiting to get to the printer, I let on, ran his daily routine of maintenance and the problem corrected itself, is great. I ran a few prints which still showed heavy bands/bad colors, so I ran routines cleaning and alignment that has made the problem worse. What I noticed, is that the banding seemed to be linked to black ink and there are large gaps in the text. I changed the black photo that has been reading about 25% full I had read a similar post where someone had problems with a low black cartridge. I also pulled the print heads and thouroghly them cleaned manually. The two black print heads showed signs of ink muddy accumulate but color heads everything looked very clean. After cleaning and reinserting the heads the printer ran his routine alingment and produces best alignment prints that I had. I then printed the test page, was also excellent showing no missing text and three print heads that fell in fair condition were now show as good. Since then I've produced great prints.

  That I summise from all this is that the problems seem to have stems printheads being blocked preventing ink flow and giving messages erroneous re cartridges is exhausted. Everything that was probably due to the printer being unused and left off for an extended period. Once the heads had been cleaned and enough ink has flowed to purge the ink heads has been lying in it for a period the printer was able to function properly.  At least I now have a spare cartridge magenta on-site as well as a printer to work.

  I hope it's useful to anyone having similar problems.

  Thanks for your help

• Photosmart Pro B9180 - can't find the choice of papers

  Just received a refurbished HP 9180.  Is it possible to access the selection of specific papers with this printer?  The only option I get is 'photo', which puts too much ink on paper that I use (Epson Premium presentation matte).  My old printer, Photosmart B8850, had the choice and worked well with this book.

  1. Hello

  I ask you to try the following steps:

  1. Open a picture or a document for printing.
  2. Select print in your application.
     Note: You may need to select an icon on your screen printing, print option in the file menu, or another command. See the help utility from your application for more details.

• Pulling my hair out on questions of IE8 with the spry menu bar

  Its a story classic, but for the life of me, I can't understand this.  I saw him in a hundred different forums (all slightly different versions of the same problem).  I've implemented a menu spry horizontal bar (version 1.6.1).  It works fine in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, etc..., but goes nuts in IE.

  layout and positioning submenus stunts go horizontally, far right, etc..

  Is a sample of the menu at http://www.alaskanrafting.com/mockup/NewIndex.html

  I'm sure it's just a line or two in my CSS, but of course I can't find.

  the CSS would be to http://www.alaskanrafting.com/mockup/SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.CSS

  If anyone has information, I would be very happy.

  Thank you

• Satellite Pro A120 fails to load after upgrade BIOS and XP to Vista

  Help

  I have problems to make my laptop to load the Windows operating system. My laptop (no X6062917H series) was purchased in November 2006. I've recently upgraded the operating system to Windows Vista (Toshiba, Promotion) and was later to upgrade the BIOS of Toshiba.

  This was done via the Toshiba site, opting for the upgrade via the Windows option. Since the upgrade of the BIOS, I have used this phone two or three times, and now I can't use it at all.

  When I turn on the laptop now, all I have is a white screen with the arrow cursor. The cursor moves on the screen that I have spend my finger on the touchpad.

  I welcome any advice on getting my laptop to the top and running, my computer knowledge is limited, please make sure it is as easy as possible

  Thank you very much

  Mr. Gibbs

  It seems that you are using the Satellite Pro A120, which belongs to the series of PSAC1E.

  It seems that the laptop can boot the operating system because the arrow cursor appears on the screen.

  Have you tried to connect the laptop to the external monitor to check if you can switch the display to another monitor?
  It would be very interesting to know if it s a graphics card problem or the internal display problem

  If you will not be able to see something on the second monitor, I recommend trying to reinstall the operating system.
  But if it is not possible to reinstall the operating system, you will need to contact the ASP (provider) in your country for the control of the laptop.

  Good luck
