Windows 7 - driver Officejet J4680

If the search around some of the other threads, looks like my Officejet J4680 fell into several printers that lack full 7 drivers HP.

It is indeed listed as compatible here:

http://h41112.www4.HP.com/promo/win7web/printer-support/us/en/OfficeJet.html

However, under Windows 7 64 bit, it shows only a CD that throws and error if you attempt to select:

http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?OS=4063&LC=en&DLC=en&cc=us&product=3692888&lang=en

The printer is used wireless and indeed prints using the driver provided the OS, but cannot scan.

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

I've seen some referring to availability for pilots from mid-November and some posts have said Jan, but nothing very specific. I think I even saw a single line which has drivers from now on.

What is the official statement from HP for when they expect availability for these drivers for this specific model/line?

(Or possibly a link to the date of delivery for all printers officejet taken in charge.)

Is there no workaround scanning wireless solution in the meantime?

I write about my experience with the Officejet J4680. I hope that the lessons will be useful to other owners of this model, or possibly other models who have similar problems.

1 HP did not have ALL the drivers at the launch. So I waited until what they first appeared about 1/2 weeks later.

2. once they have increased, there was some other printer randomly on the same page, and the link to the download was named the same for both. If you guess and then look at the name of the installation file to tell if it was good. This has since been fixed.

4. on the download of the driver version 'basic', it systematically fails at the end of the installation. CANNOT install this printer for use with the base driver wireless.

The installation process see the printer, connects and displays the address mac and other information, but fails on the final progress without apparent reason bar (only "unable to connect" appears).

No debug information has been proposed by the installer on why this happened however. Choose the option to retry fails as well. Reboot and try again also fails.

After that several installation attempts, I downloaded the full version instead.

5 laps, I need "imaging" to the INSTALLATION service found only in the full version of the driver installation. So at the beginning of the installation I can uncheck everything except for the image service and the pilot himself.

Remember, I don't have the driver of imagery to RUN the printer and scanner. I just need for the installation process to complete. I can remove/disable it later.

6. then, by the admission of the HP Imaging for the scanner connect will throw an error of connection at startup every time (essentially what makes the useless service). It also means that I can't scan from the printer itself by using the HP software provided.

7. Finally. as the confession of the HP, Windows 7 includes Windows Fax and Scan functions.

So, in the end, I got the impression and scanning to work (which required the function to scan no HP windows). The hoops I had to jump through, are unacceptable to a large professional company like HP.

HP, if you can't fix the scan driver (which seems to be the case, since it's been broken in Vista well before now), difficulty at least your installation. Because currently you MUST install your driver CERTAINLY BROKEN just to make it work.

Ridiculous.

  • OfficeJet J4680: Officejet J4680 offline in the middle of Windows 10 nightmare & does not print

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and I am logged on as administrator. I am still immersed in an effort to remove Windows 7 after only 10 Windows, but not download or install a week ago. Apparently you updates of Windows is the culprit, and I restored it to what I hoped, was that before this poison pill, but I'm still real messed up. I'm still trying to determine what update caused the damage and uninstall.

    My Officejet J4680 printer hooked up on a print job and would not remove the work hung, so I unplugged and restarted the printer and restarted the computer. This printer has been disconnected, and I couldn't get it online.

    Softwear by printing HP and Dr. 4.7 update installed HP Officejet full feature software scan and driver 14.0.301.0 Got message "HP Support Solutions framework installed successfully. However, there was a problem to download/install HP Support Assistant. He will be tried again later. "Try later on its own or do I have to re - run?

    The network connection seems OK, (active port and driver, both seemed to be correct) and I tried to reinstall printer with "wired (Ethernet) or wireless network. Reinstalled successfully, the printer is shared, printed the test page, Logo Windows and "Windows Printer Test Page" printed, rest of the page is empty.

    All ideas, need more information, or should I just go ahead and try to uninstall the software and try again? Don't know how much of the nightmare of Windows 10 contributes to this. Hope someone has some ideas, that my brain is fried now!

    Hey @vh08-2015,.

    Thanks for getting back to me with all this detailed information!

    It shows your HP Officejet to use a "universal print driver" in your screenshots. In addition, because copies of your printer show installed as 'HPFCEF6D' it indicates that the universal print driver or the Windows driver is used to provide basic printing capability only. It does not resemble your HP Officejet Full Feature print and scan driver is actually installed at all at this stage.

    1. you can permanently delete all the copies of your printer showing installed at this time without worry, as we will reinstall your printer with the appropriate printer driver.

    2. once the printer has been removed from devices and printers (and the Device Manager if it allows) then proceed to step 4 to delete the files Temp.

    3 once the Temp files deleted using download full feature software and driver I've provided previously. When clear us Temp files it erases the download files downloaded and extracted to the installer so by deleting Temp files under step 4 , you will have a clean slate to work with the new download and install.

    4. you should be safe with just after the uninstallation steps I provided earlier rather then by running the brosseuse that you downloaded. Because the package full feature software and driver shows not currently installed and used by your printer probable scrubber won't do much.

    Good luck with reinstall it! I would like to know if you are having problems or have further questions.

  • HP Officejet J4680/4600: firmware and the driver for J4680/4600

    I need to find the driver and firmware for my product (J4680) printer all-in-one. I try HP support without success. I understand that HP can't stand this product, and that the installation disk only supports of XP, Vista O/S but when I bought this printer in 2010 I was able to find the software necessary for installation. Now, I get redirected to the India where their technicians are eager to sell me on my PC is about to fall and for $599.00 they would repair the missing drivers and violations of network.

    So I wiped my HARD drive to DoD specifications. and then reloaded the o/s updated everthing. Run great! With the exception of my J4680. Help!

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909n - Windows 7 Driver needed!

    Hello

    I just bought HP Officejet Pro 8500 A909, and he does it not install on my Windows 7 RC1 installation. An updated driver is needed.

    I wonder if there is no known workaround solution? I tried compatibility mode and run as admin, comes to about 90% ish and - error.

    How can I be sure that HP will make a Windows 7 driver for this model, if I need to return it as soon as POSSIBLE.

    Thank you

    @ellirdad. I'm 100% agree with you want HP to solve the driver problem. It's quite maddening.

    If you download and use the basic driverset, it works very well (I use Windows 7 RC1 x 64).  This is after forcing it to run in compatibility mode, of course. You can scan, fax, etc. Works very well.

    I tried to install the driverset full and also had the problem where it would freeze at 96% and eventually times out. I was bored and deicided to make an investigation of the sound problem have is a file named flash9f.ocx. Apparently, he's trying to 'register' this file with Windows and she fails. I have not dug too deep, but I tried to download and manually save the flash9f.ocf and there still no, then who knows. I hope that HP will get on the ball and give us some Windows 7 drivers soon.

  • Qosmio F50 - Windows 7 and OfficeJet G55

    Hello

    I use a Toshiba Qosmio 50.

    Since I've upgraded to Windows 7, my OfficeJet G55 no longer print.
    Windows 7 cannot install the appropriate driver.
    Scan and copy functions are available, but not the print function.
    I tried all the solutions on HP and Microsoft sites, but they do not work.
    The printer works fine on my Toshiba Satellite pro with Windows XP.

    Someone has experienced the same problem?
    Thank you
    André

    Hello Andrew

    Just a question: do you really think that it is somehow related to your Qosmio laptop?
    I want to say if your printer has problem with Windows 7 Toshiba has nothing to do with it and you need to clarify this with the manufacturer of the printer. Call the HP hotline and ask for help.

    They are responsible for the support and offer appropriate and functional drivers for all operating systems.
    Please don't get me wrong, but Toshiba has nothing to do with it.

    I'm having a problem with the installation of the software for the Officejet J4680. I am running XP, and when it gets to 96% it seems to stall then later a bit shows a fatal error during the Setup error.

    The printer is installed and I can print (wireless) but when I click on the HP Solution Center a note appears saying "no HP devices have been detected. Solution Center HP close now. "Then, of course, the software has not installed correctly. I hope that this is a common problem that can be fixed quite easy.

    My HP Officejet J4680 all-in-one ink jet printer will not print in Word 2010 documents. It will print .pdf and Excel 2010 documents. I ran printing HP and doctor Scan and check it and put to date and said all is fine. Just around checking on my computer it said in the devices that the printer is ok. I printed the test from the doctor of Hp Plug and it came out ok. Seems so that Word documents are the only problem. I installed Windows 10 earlier so not totally sure that's the problem I don't remember if I used the word since installation up to now.

  • OfficeJet J4680 stuck in the mode of winding

    Hello

    I had used my Officejet J4680 yesterday without any problem.  When I went to use today icon was flashing to change black cartridge.  I did and then did the alignment with no problems.  However, I then went to print a word document, nothing happens.  When I click the icon in the taskbar, it says coil - print and nothing else happens.  I then cancelled the print job and tried again with the same results.

    I then opened the center of solution to make sure that it states that the printer is connected and that it is.  I then tried to print a test page and nothing was happening once again.  So I turned off the printer and have just turned it on on and it will print the test page so I clicked and then to print a page of diagnostics and that too with print.

    I tried and then print the document again and this time it works great.  However, I tried printing again about an hour later with the same problem and had to start the whole process again.

    Any ideas as to why this happens?  I'm running windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit) and I the current up-to-date drivers for the printer installed as well as everything on the pc is up-to-date.  It was working fine yesterday without any problems and nothing has changed between yesterday and today, so I can't understand why this could happen.

    Thank you

    Hey,.

    I see that you have a problem with obtaining print jobs to print.  It seems that jobs stay stuck in the print queue.  You mentioned that you can roll the printer, but when was the last time the PC restarted?

    For example, how the printer is connected to the PC? (USB, ethernet, wireless)

    I would advise to restart the PC, if it is not fact and executes printing HP and doctor Scan.  The PSDR HP is a troubleshooting tool automated to print/scanning issues.  To access the PSDR click here.

    Is that get your printer working correctly?
