Times print Photosmart C4680

I have experience significant delays (over an hour) when I try to print to a Photosmart C4680 all in one printer from an Imac under Snow Leopard.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the HP worm 10.3 software.  Will have no problem printing on a Samsung printer.  Any suggestions?

Have you reset the printer (unplug the power from the back of the printer, wait 30 seconds, plug back in) and restarted your Mac?

You are updated to OS X 10.6.2?

  • The paper feed of my printer Photosmart C4680 does not work

    Hello

    I tried to reset my printer, but the paper source always pulls the paper on an angle and then crashes.  This seems to have started all of a sudden.

    Hi JeaniT,

    If you have the paper guides, set against the paper and that you have cleaned the feed tires there is a good chance that there is a small piece of paper stuck in the paper path causing the paper be introduced an angle. You may need to lift the printer to look at the paper path.

  • HP photosmart C4680: HP Photosmart C4680 printer

    Photosmart C4680 printer will print correctly. Problem follows:

    1. Press on print
    2. Printer makes a noise of switch for several seconds
    3. Athens printers normally feeding paper & prints correctly.

    Noise distribution is done before printing each page. Feeds correctly.

    Need help before ruining printer.

    Thanks John M.

    What a pleasure to receive a response. Unfortunately, took all the steps without success. You took note of cliqueti noise that continues after all the inspection. I observe that the rattling noise occurs when the transport is on the right side of the printer. When you move the carriage to the left & with a flashlight, I saw a black glob in the extreme right under where the transport would be. What key it seemed to be a deposit of black as ink. Do not think that this isn't the ink as empty cartridge or showing empty.

    The printer has served faithfully for time Believe + 5 years came for the replacement. However, t would be nice to know how this has happened.

    I thank for the help & you can be sure that the replacement will be a model of HP.

    Thank you venny1.

  • HP Photosmart C4680 printer help - makes noise when turned on?

    Hello

    I searched all day for a solution on my NEW out of the box (HP Photosmart C4680) printer.  I decided to use the scan option, so I opened the box and everything out of the box, remove all packing materials and tape, paper, etc.  Now, I plug the power supply cable (not USB), the printer does beep and a beep will sound and the screen comes on and power off.  It's just a blue screen that displays the logo of hp--(tours noir/arrêt et en arrière, encore et encore).  When I hold down the POWER button for 10 seconds, it turns off the printer (and the beep).  Turn it back on it does again ringing for about a half hour.  Then he turns to the language screen if he wants to, but the touchscreen works even not at all to select or scroll through the list.  And then if I open the door of the cartridge, the cradle only slips when he wants to and not all the time (certainly not when it beeps at startup pointing upwards).

    I tried to install the software in the hope that it might help.  But after hanging the printer usb cable once all the software has been installed, it is said that it recognizes not the printer or it is not be able to communicate with him.

    It is out of warranty.  Any help/advice is greatly appreciated!

    --------------------

    UPDATE: I got the shop, and it is considered to be a printer of lemon.  The end.

    Yes. I remove all packing materials, including any Blue Ribbon, that there is none.

    UPDATE: I took the printer in the shop, and it is considered to be a printer of lemon.  Please read and try to help!

  • Photosmart C4680: Photosmart C4680 on homegroup printer-considered, but not scanner

    My home network includes a Dell XPS-18 running Windows 8.1 Pro and a Toshiba Satellite running Windows 7 Home.  Our Photosmart C4680 is connected to the Toshiba by USB.  It is shared and is available on the network.  It is used by the XPS for printing and never a problem as long as the Toshiba's online.

    However, I can't find a scanner.  I used it for printing without having to install any software.  When I couldn't find as a scanner, I have installed on the XPS, the HP software suite which is available for download from the HP site, in the hope, there was a special driver for scanning, which would be added.  But that does not change.

    The Toshiba can scan from the C4680.  And I can connect to the XPS via USB and also find a scanner by, for example, opening Paint.net and go to "file |" Acquire | From a scanner or camera.  But when the printer is shared via network it is not considered a scanner on the XPS, although I can print to it.

    How can I use it as a scanner on the network?

    Hello

    MS Windows alow God a printer or files and folders, there are not any sharing scanner capabilities.

    Scanning can only be done from the PC that have plugged USB cable, to scan multiple computers, you will need a network connected device, it can be done with a USB device.

  • Missing cartridges on Photosmart C4680 printer... It work?

    I have a HP Photosmart C4680 printer that appears in great shape.  It was given to me by a third party.  The two print cartridges and power cord are missing.  I have no idea if this printer will actually print.

    1. Assuming I can start her, is it possible to determine if it will print before you run out and spend the money on 2 new cartridges?
    2. Can I use a power cord to similar research?  I have one who comes from a different model of printer but seems similar.

    Thank you!

    There is no way to determine if the printer print without cartridges from the printer. If the cord will work for the printer you use.

    Let me know how it goes.

  • Photosmart C4680: C4680 not print color

    I have now 2 (!) Printers photosmart C4680 and BOTH are printed in color.  In fact, once I found how to access the Help menu, I printed the PQ diagnostic report and the printer status report and the two reports are totally invalid color print.

    The link to the article on print quality given before others with the same question to solve this problem.

    I put in new cartridges, cleaned, etc., but still no color will appear.  However, once, when you print a PDF file, a little bit of Blue appear, but never the Red or yellow.  And that happened only once.

    I use the photosmart with Mac OS 10.7.5.

    Please tell me I can fix this problem or I have to go to another printer?

    It works!

    And you were right, I had to uninstall and reinstall the PhotoSmart software before you install the OCR software.  I had updated to version 13 of PhotoSmart 12 version that was on the CD supplied with the printer.  I got the message "OCR application is not required" when I tried to install on version 13.   Uninstall and revert to the version 12 allowed me to then install the OCR.  I'll go with version 12, it has everything I need.

    I think it is strange that HP it so hard.  After successful installation, I changed from a customer who felt he was ripped off (after being sold nonexistent OCR) to a satisfied customer!  HP should at least have a link of his C4680 software page to the OCR software and indicates the software OCR is working on the C4600 series.

    Anyway, thanks a lot rhanman for your help and for the time and effort in replying to my query.  I greatly appreciate it.

  • HP Photosmart C4680 problem

    In recent days, I noticed that my Photosmart C4680 is blower bike itself on and off.  Anyone else have this same problem?

    Does anyone know why its doing?  Y at - it a solution?

    Just do the repair. It was a bad capacitor on the logic board (TEAPO brand). There's that one to replace on this printer and it will probably look like curved on top (which indicates which are blown).  It is 330uF 6.3V, but I got in a little bigger (16V, whatever they had in 330uF) and it works perfectly now. It's an easy fix, if you aren't afraid of soldering a component. It will cost about 60 c with a value of components. (and a kit of solder so you do not have a)

    Open the scanner cover and the door of replacement ink. Reach behind the control panel and gently push a clip for the exit sign. He will reveal a hidden torx screw. There are four total screws to remove the top, and you can use a torx bit, or if no practice, the right to an allen key size.

    Once you get the top up the rest of the printer, you must pull carefully on some connectors that attach to the logical map of its orbits. Some are simply Ribbon connectors and some wire connectors. Set the top aside.

    Identify the bad capacitor on the Board by checking the upper surface. It is a green, a thin color that says TEAPO on it and if it is indeed the defective component it must feel to be curved on top.

    Remove all the other connectors on the Board and unscrew 3 torx screws to remove the Board of Directors of the printer.

    To unsolder the bad capacitor, it can be easier at first it break so you can extract each lead with pliers, one at a time when the application of heat on the side welding.

    Respect the polarity, the negative side (identified by the sign on the new capacitor less) on the shady side to the Board of Directors.

    Solder the new capacitor, clip wide leads, any excess back together. Your ' e did!   Good luck!
