Reference Dell Vista vs HP C3100/C3180 all-in-one

Hi, had a message here not long ago but never got all the answers, so I'll try once more.
I have a new Dell INSPIRON 1525 & a HP C3100/C3180 printer. When I tried to install it, Vista does not recognize the printer. OK, I tried everything; received the HP update disc, not working, downloaded from the site Web of HPs, not good. He moved very well, but then it's gone. Not in the window of the printer, anywhere except to remove or repair the file. Then when I click on HP solutions the screen goes black for a second, then returns all distorted and magnified, looks like resolution everything is off. A box is here who says: "no legacy HP have been detected - HP Solution Center will close now. When I click on the close box screen becomes black new & comes back perfect. Before thinking anything, I know all about the drivers and others. I installed & unintalled several times then I can count. I tried to talk to HP they say that is Vista and I believe them. I tried every way you can to get their hands on the Windows folks & got no response, been put on endless hold, said I could talk to someone in this country who was a true tech, but I have to so finally got a response to a tech by e-mail & she gave me a page and a half of instructions that I could print pay(I won't)... If my printer worked. So I wrote them down, but the first part is not very clear, so I sent back & no response. 3 days ago, I called & had somesone who said that they would write to me better instructions and you guessed it... still waiting. Sorry about this but I tried since February 14. I go to College I need the printer and I'm so aggravated.
Tell you the first part of the instructions, can help me is it someone at least with this please. It comes to getting Vista to Reconize drivers/printer/spool.  It is said: START WINDOWS EXPLORER & THEN RENAME all FILES & FOLDERS in THE FOLLOWING 2 FILES: C:\windows\system32\spool\printers.
C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\w32X86 Ok my problem is that when I open windows such as theres a lot of files. none that say above, or what I know to use this subject and I have fear of just the stuff of renameing beginning. Someone know or recognize what he's talking about? I know I'm supposed to find in REGEDIT. I can do that without worrying, but I can't do any further without doing step 1. I've done this so I'm afraid I'm spoil the laptop & have already noticed a strange behavior. Can someone help me? Printers only around the age of 7 months. Thank you

  • C3180 all-in-One: re = install

    EU all-in-one type C3180 for 5 years. Good.Had to uninstall.

    Efforts to re - install keep failing. Message implementation. Please correct RUN As.

    I am only user and administrator, so can not understand the problem. Tells me to remove the disc, close and log on as administrator. I always connect one. All ideas are welcome. Followed instuctions of the forum L4un - install.exe.by Travis C posted 11/04/2012, who are very clear and concise.

    @dotage, welcome to the forums!

    I read your post on how the installation fails when you try to install your Photosmart C3180 on your Windows Vista system. I have a few suggestions in mind to start thinking.

    Before any software/installation troubleshooting, please reset your printer and make sure that the printer will make color copies, black and white with success. This is very important because it tests the material first. The printer must be in good working order before trying to install it on the PC. If there are hardware problems, the installation will fail.

    Reset instructions:
    Press the power button to turn the product on.
    With the product, unplug the power cord from the back of the product.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the back of the product.
    If the product does not light by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.

    If the working copies, allows to go ahead and try these steps from the PC:

    1. Perform a clean boot
    2. Restart the PC
    3. Download and run the installation online here: HP Photosmart C3100 C4100 all-in-one full feature software and drivers

    I hope that the installation has gone through without problem after the steps above. If the installation failed, save error messages or codes and let me know all the specific information you see.

    I hope to hear from you, good luck and if you want to send me a "thank you", click on the thumb to the top below!

  • HP C3180 all in one.

    Hello

    I have an HP C3180 all-in-One Printer/Scanner/Copier and I am trying to copy a legal-size sheet.  Is this possible.   When I bought the printer, I was told that I could, but I can't understand it.

    HELP please.

    Thank you

    Hello

    The dish of this printer supports only up to 8.5 x 11 (letter size). It does support legal size paper. Check the specs below:

    Legal scan/copy is possible only if the printer supports the automatic document feeder and printer C3180 is not.

  • How to stop feeling ALWAYS of my C3180 all-in-One printer test page?

    Whenever I have replace the black ink cartridge in my C3180 all-in-one printer, it prints a test page. Every time. Always.

    It's boring, but also expensive ink is not cheap.

    I have an iMac with OS X 10.6.8 'Snow Leopard '.

    I have the latest software/drivers of HP printer.

    I also searched all the software, to see if there are preferences and settings that I can change.

    I realize that a test page should be printed after a new cartridgev is installed, and maybe when I need to test it. But not every freakin ' the printer is turned on. The cartridgte in there now is new and the ink is already weak, and what I am printing is barely readable. There's a pile of scrap paper next to the printer, all test sheets!

    I apologize for the attitude, but at more than $20 a pop for the cartridges, it's cost me money that I can hardly afford.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Whenever you replace an ink cartridge cartridge he must be aligned.

    Lack of any color will make the alignment to fail and so the printer will continue to try to complete alignment.

    Compare the jessy printed with this example, it can happen if you ran out of color ink, etc.:

    For troubleshooting most follow this document:

  • Reference Dell Vista stuck in a reboot loop must restore

    I have a dell desktop computer I bought from rent a Center about 2 years ago. It comes with Windows Vista. They don't did me not a recovery disk. I had a lot of questions and restore points were not helping, so I went through f8 and fact a reset. After that she completed successfully I clicked on finish, and it began to restart, which I expected.

    Now, however, he is stuck in a reboot loop. It gets to the screen that has Dell on this, with the f2, f12 options in the right corner, and then start again again and again. I tried to press f8 and hope go in safe mode and see what was up, but f8 does not open and f2 and f12 are not help at this point. they give me boot priority and so on but no real start until now kind of options. It is possible that windows doesn't have factory loaded, and now I have simply no operating system?  They say they have a reset disk can I come down and use, but im wondering if this will help because I can't really get anywhere or if im just done...

    No messages online that I was looking for really specific my situation...

    * original title - Dell Vista Start Up start up loop *.

    Hello

    ·         Did you follow the steps in this article to restore the computer to factory settings?

    If a factory restore full does not lead to a fully functional version of Windows then you have a hardware problem. I came in contact with Dell technical support.

  • HP Photosmart C3180 all-in-One does not scroll on glossy photo paper

    Printer all-in-one HP C 3180 will not take paper glossy photo Copier. I hear the gears rolling, but it doesn't pull in the worksheet. It will take regular paper and Matt paper thick. I use only HP advanced photo copy paper. Are there adjustments for scrolling? Any help would be appreciated.

    I was able to identify the problem and solve it somewhat. Settings of the printers were very good; no paper jam, etc.  It is the rear access door.

    Glossy paper would not scroll until I pushed on the RAD. I just have to hold it down until the paper begins to scroll, so I withdraw my hand. Find out where the problem is I should be able to jimmy-rig it (ahh... Yes, duct tape!) to hold in the FDR. Nevertheless, Cheetah12, I appreciate your suggestions.

  • Reference Dell Eql SANDRA use only not all configured NIC

    Have 1 virtual (in hyper-v) server with 4 NICs. Server OS Sp1 with EQL ASM Win2008R2 is version 4.5. The lan NIC is excluded by subnet in auto-snapshot manager/MPIO settings.

    3 SAN adapters are in a different subnet and are "inclusive". The 3rd nic has no active sessions to the storage group. Tab connections ISCSI MPIO confirms its authorized to connect to the San. Instead of 3 connections to the volume on 3 network cards, he made 2 connections to 1 etc...

    I tried the EQL ping to IP configured for that particular network interface card, got no response. The 2 other IP's ping requests. Checked the Hyper-V host; The NIC 3 are in the same Vlan. This virtual server is the only one connected to the San with this problem.

    Any ideas on why and how to solve this problem?

    I was talking about the specific cable and port associated with this NIC there could also be a bad network card.

  • My Photosmart C3180 all-in-one will not scan.

    Get Installation error 8, [(8,0,0)], then press the 'OK' button to continue. Complete installation - printer OK, but not scan.

    Have tried all the options within the "error of Installation of the HP" without success. "HP solutions Center - 'guide' gives no action.

    Seems to be all 8 sections OK and going to "finish the screen. Connect the printer and "install device driver" is displayed. Close this at the end of "the device is ready for use. The "software Setup screen appears again and then comes to an end, when the ' screen HP Solutions is started." I tried to scan from there, but still get the error "8,0,0" described above. As I said, the HP Solution Center - Guide (for a solution) either do nothing, Windows Control Panel product "program stopped working." Printer/scanner worked with this Win7 for almost a year, before getting this problem. There was also the C3180 in recent years through Win XP & Win Vista.

    Not sure if the problem is hardware, A) B) Windows, software HP C) or (D) the file downloaded "AIO_CDA_NonNet_Full_Win_ WWW_130_140".

    We'll see. It could be all three issues you have described. However, let's test a few things. First first, let's do a copy on the printer itself, see if she did this and that will prove its functional. Other hardware issues maybe a defective USB cable. Then you can consider replacing that.

    Then for the software, I want uninstall you devices and printers, programs and features, Device Manager. Then in the menu Start menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Delete all the files. Some will not delete, and it's good.

    Then download the files on the site.

    Make sure that the USB cable is disconnected through this process.

    When you reinstall message out there and let me know the result.
