Printer all-in-one HP F4180: automatic detection detects bad printer

The auto detection detects my HP F4180 all-in-one printer as an all-in-one printer from HP F4190 and ask me to update the drivers. I have downloaded and has been updated several times, but always get the same answer.

Max,

Welcome to the Community Forum of HP.

Well, Auto-Detect certainly does not work for your printer very well.

You can work around the problem:

Comment

The problem with the Auto-quelque thing is that it works for almost everyone - except for those for whom it is not.  Good program: not perfect.

Workaround

You can manually download and install everything you need your printer Support pages.

If I were you, I download and keep a complete copy of the typical software - and the 'critical updates that apply to my situation.  Have a copy of the software on your own computer and backups can save time disorder later if necessary you need data.

You can also keep the pages to my favorites for future reference if needed later.

  • C7280 all-in-One can't automatically print double-sided

    I recently updated my laptop, one with one with Windows 7 64 - bit Vista and the printer I have is the C7280 all-in-One.

    After installing the driver recommended on the site of HP (PS_AIO_02_Net_Full_Win_WW_130_140.exe) because of the CD supplied with the printer being impossible to install on Windows 7. After I try to print something (after setting the preferences on duplex), I received a message invites me to MANUALLY move the paper for duplex printing, which I wouldn't have to do as the printer as a two-sided printing accessory.

    The printer is capable of printing AUTOMATIC duplex on the Vista system, but is unable to do so now. In some other messages I saw that this could be remedied by following a few steps, and by changing some information in the properties of the printer, but my printer properties have many missing or grayed out areas. The following figures show this:

    Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated, as I'd like to be able to automatically print double-sided instead of manually.

    The printer has been installed and used wireless for my laptop (both on Vista systems and 7).

  • all-in one want 5540: automatic extension tray

    I just bought the printer ENVY 5540 and wanted to know if automatic extension tray should also retract automatically when I stopped the printer. It extends automatically when I start printing, but I have to manually replace it once I'm done. The State plug it is auto - so I guess it would also retract when I turned off the printer. I hope that someone knows? Thank you.

    Hello

    Thank you for using the HP forum.

    Extension is automatic while the retraction is manual.

  • "Print cartridge missing or not detected" says my Photosmart C4250 of HP all-in-One error

    My all-in-one HP Photosmart C4250 error is 5 years old.

    This week, he stopped printing with a message saying that it could not detect the ink cartridge.  The cartridge was low, but non-empty, so I asked a geek friend to take a look but no problem was found.  Today, I just bought and installed a new cartridge.  Still will not work.

    This printer has been reliable so far.  Any ideas?  I am unemployed and a new printer is certainly NOT in my future.

    Thank you!

    Here a link to a document that addresses the error message that you receive on this printer model. It will provide a troubleshooting to try in an attempt to clear the error message. If we filled all solutions in the document and continue to receive the error message, would seek to substitute.

    If you are still in warranty, HP can replace the printer without cost to you. I'll link the information to get in touch with them below. The link takes you to a form to fill out. Once you fill it and she is treated, it will give you the printers warranty information, a file number and the phone number to call.

  • 7310 all-in-One: automatic duplex printing is returned to manual

    I have a printer all-in-One of 7310. I used to be able to print duplex automatically copies but this option no longer appears in the Properties dialog box. Instead, I don't have the manual option on the finish tab. How can I return the Auto function?

    I followed your instructions and it worked perfectly. The word "manually" has been deleted from the finishing tab, so that was a clue that a change has been made. I had to restart the computer for the change to take effect.

    Thanks a lot for your help. Has saved me a lot of time and trouble. I had already spent a lot of pages and Googling HP scanning other sites to unravel this mystery, because I know that I have used to be able to automatically print double-sided but then suddenly couldn't. Something changed without my knowledge.

  • Impossible to copy and scan on all-in-one printer, HP Deskjet F4180.

    I can't make a copy and scan on the surface of the glass of my printer HP deskjet F4180 all-in-one. The printer says: error in the copy menu and seeing red flashes on color and black. However, I am able to print from my laptop and a pop-up message would be in my laptop showing the ink cartridges (black and color) are placed incorrectly. Check the ink cartridges, both are in their right place and broken up. Need help... Please.

    I found this document which decodes what mean flashing lights.  There are a lot of different codes described, but I found a heading "question: one or two of the lights blink check print cartridge" which seems to be what's going on your printer.  Basically it's saying that the cartridges are out of alignment or defective.  If the document is not help clarify, let me know and I'll see what I can find.

  • 4380 all-in-one printer does not detect the print cartridge

    My all-in-one printer (model 4380 vivera, bought in Switzerland) does not detect the print cartridges. I traded the color cartridge with that of another, older than I was and now everything is fine. I don't know when, this problem will arise again. The last time I was so frustrated that I bought another printer (HP 2050) which seems to work without problems. I have unplugged, replugged and clean the cartridges with filtered water. The problem may arise at any time. Help, please. Thank you.

    I'm sorry you have a problem with your ink not detected.

    The problem may be because the printer is of the Switzerland and the ink cartridges are NOT. The printer will only accept cartridges of the same region/country.

    For example, if you are in the United States and buy a printer and the cartridges come from GERMANY, he cannot read. Will suit most, but some of the contacts are different causing not well read the cartridge from the printer.

  • VMPlayer cannot detect the scanner for all-in-one printer?

    Hello.  I am running Linux Mint 14 in VMPlayer on your desktop AMD Win7 hexagonal base.  The implementation uses a MG5320 Canon all-in-one printer on a wireless network.

    Symptom: When you try to use the scanner under Linux software, I get an error that does not scan.

    Comments: I know that the printer is connected and can print from VMPlayer.  I used the scan software successfully in a Win7 laptop boots double in Linux Mint 14.  Therefore, the only difference is running Linux Mint in VMPlayer.

    How can I get the functionality of the scanner of my all-in-one printer with VMPlayer?

    TNX in advance for all advice.

    The 'virtual' printer in the virtual machine settings through the present printers on the host - there should be no impact on your ability to 'normally' adding printers inside the guest.

    Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the same type of printer, and I'm not Linux.

    The thing is useful that maybe I can tell you, is that you may need to configure the virtual adapter as connected by a bridge instead of the default NAT.

  • Problem adding all-in-one 7210 as a printer 'network '.

    I have a succesfully connected 7210 via the port USB of PC at home connected to the router & 'main' wireless (via ethernet cable).

    I also added successfully (with ease!) to Vista laptop for my daughter and she can print wireless very well.

    However, now try to install on my XP laptop that already has the driver installed (uses 6210 all-in-one on my place of work via USB) through "add a printer".

    Select the printer network OR local printer? What options to choose then? How can I know my printer name (or IP address) and port name?

    Thanks for the help in advance!

    Try to do this:

    1 printer a network. configurtaion page  You can click on the SETUP (wrench) on your printer. Then search NETWORK and press OK. Search for VIEW the NETWORK SETTINGS, then press OK. Find the NETWORK SETUP PAGE and press OK. It will display the page of network configuration for you.

    2. search for the IP ADDRESS on the network configuration page.

    3. on your computer, choose LOCAL PRINTER and uncheck the box that says automatically detect printer attached to this computer, and then click Next.
