    We connected our HP Photosmart C309A AllinOne printer on a wireless network to our Mac computer running Mac OS 10.7.5. Almost whenever we try to print from any propgram he respnds with the following error message:

    Paper size error: paper selected in the printer driver does not match the paper size in the printer input tray.

  • Photosmart C309a: Want to be able to scan w / Photosmart C309a on wireless network

    I want to add the solution Center HP to be able to scan documents to my wireless laptop.  I've loaded and installed the last HP software for the printer HP Photosmart C309a on my new computer laptop of Toshiba.  I was able to print from Word and Adobe Reader, etc., wireless, but I can't access the printer through the HP Solution Center to scan documents. I am told that installation of the device is not complete.  Then...

    ... When I try via "add a device Photosmart...". "the software detects the printer, but every time I try using (connected with cable) ethernet or wireless, after the network diagnostics, it will fail.  I did at least a dozen times.

    Another laptop with the same software is close is connected via the wireless and works perfectly.  I'm working on that won't work.

    I would try to uninstall, reboot, then reinstall the printer software.  There should be an uninstall icon in the folder/printer HP in the group '' programs. ''

    If you have other software installed HP printer that you don't use I would uninstall that as well.

  • Wireless installation need help with Photosmart c309a Mac OS x 10.6.8

    I lost my hard drive and am now reinstalling my drivers etc. for the HP Photosmart c309a Mac OS x 10.6.8. It will print if I connect via the USB port, but my office is across the room from the printer. At the same time, I was able to print and scan wireless. The last time I had to reinstall I lost the ability to scan wireless, so I think I originally had it network via airport, but used Bluetooth when I reinstalled.

    Now, I can print when connected by USB, but I can't make a wireless setup works. When I try to print it says I am offline, and when I try to connect it says I am connected via the URL: usb://HP/Photosmart%20C309a%20series?serial= [my serial number here shows].

    I am connected to Internet via WiFi to the installation service. I can also connect through our Verizon MiFi. I would like the ability to scan and print, but if I am limited to Bluetooth and print only, I would appreciate help with this setup as wireless printing is the most important.

    Oh, the manual shows how to configure a Windows wireless system in both directions, but I do not use Windows. Thank you for all you can offer instructions.

    AHG,

    This guide should guide you through the installation process and get you up and running wireless. Let us know if this helps: http://goo.gl/c2IXf

    -all I can think (but go ballistic)

    I have a similar problem, except that my 309 a link but if it is idle for a few moments he log out and have to stop and reconnected or reset using the configuration menu.  Contact with HP said that HP is aware of the problem but that he has no intention to post a fix and the problem is inherent in most of their printers...  Techrep indicated that the best solution to get a new printer.  I recently bought a Canon all-in-one and it works as advertised.  I always use my HP in a wireless mode, but you need to restart after each impression if more that a few short minutes between printing.  Sorry I'm no help, but just passing on what HP says about this printer.

    I contacted HP support by phone and they have said that there is a problem with IE9 and the Photosmart c309a no internet print and e-mail printing.  There may be others, but that was not mentioned.  So at the present time, that the solution is remove ie9 and replace with ie8.  Now my printer works perfectly.  They talked me through it.

  • Is my HP Photosmart C309a series ePrint allow?

    I set up my printer for wireless connection. I couldn't add it to eprint. Is my HP Photosmart C309a series ePrint allow?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Your HP C309a printer does not support eprint. Most HP printers that supports the eprint feature has a letter from e. For example:

    * HP Photosmart Premium Fax e-All-in-One Printer - C410a

    * HP Photosmart Premium e-All-in-One Printer - C310a

    The updated model of your C309a (HP Photosmart Premium Fax all-in-One Printer) that supports eprint is the HP Photosmart Premium Fax e-all-in-one printer - C410a!

  • Photosmart C309a don't scan

    My C309a don't scan:

    -When I press the button on the printer, it is said there is a problem of scan and told me to "try to start the scan of the computer, refer to the documentation for more details"

    -When I open the HP solution on the Office Center, it says it cannot run because "your device isn't complete... Please connect the USB cable or re-run the form progam setup from the installation to a network installation CD... If it does not complete the installation or you do not have the CD to access the HP help files by clicking on the start menu.

    -J' uninstalled and reinstalled the software from the CD - it did not work

    -J' downloaded the new drivers from here:

    http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=3737193&...

    -J' tried and then install the device. I clicked the USB cable option, rather than wireless or ethernet options, and when I clicked 'Next' he told me to check the cable USB is plugged in and the unit was powered. he wouldn't let me go forward even if I put the computer turned off and removed the USB cable before trying again and reconnect them

    -l' printer prints perfectly fine USB cable... it's not just scan!

    -I had not moved the USB cable to a different USB port... still no joy

    I'm out of ideas

    In response to my own Announces 1/2 day later.

    HP Photosmart C309a will not computer scan.  The HP Solution Center does NOT open.  Can print but cannot open the HP Solution Center and command the C309a to scan a document.  Using Windows 7.  Tried to download new driver and also used the original installation disc without success in the restoration of the HP Solution Center that is used to control the printer to perform analyses.

     

    Click the Start button on windows at the bottom left

    Click "all programs."

    Clicked on "HP".

    Under "HP" clicked "Photosmart C309a Series"

    Click 'add a device '.

    A program was launched which has detected my existing C309a and when he was finished the HP Solution Center has been restored to its previous working state.  I did this using the wireless connection.  I always have not plugged the laptop in the wired connection on my desktop that I don't want to get out of this comfortable chair and address this issue more. He now works in wireless mode, and that's good enough for now!

  • HP Photosmart c309a: HP Photosmart c309a will not re - install

    I had printing problems with my HP Photosmart c309a. The print queue says printer is offline. I did a few things that have worked before, unplugged the printer and plugged, computer, etc.. So I decided to uninstall the printer and reinstall it. It worked in the past. I can't get the printer to re - install. I download and installed the drivers, still would not re - install. I used the CD that came with the printer to try to re - install, but it is said that the Windows operating system is not compatible with this printer. I have Windows 7 (64-bit) and use this computer with this OS and this printer for four years without problem. Any suggestions? The system would update yesterday. The OS is Windows 7 Service Pack 1, 64-bit.

  • Photosmart c309a all in one

    My Photosmart C309a worked very well today, all of a sudden, it prints no and said the wireless radio does not work there at - it something I can do to fix this?

    The lights will market does not mean that the wireless radio is good. It might not work, but always turn. The last thing you can try is a partial reset. If this does not work, you will need to replace the printer.

    To make a partial reset:
    1. make sure that the printer is turned on.
    2. pull on the power cord from the printer.
    3. pull out the power cord from the wall.
    4. wait for 30 seconds.
    5. plug the power cord into the wall, but do not connect the printer.
    6. press 3 and # buttons.
    7. while now buttons, plug in the printer.
    8. when the lights come on, release the buttons.

  • Photosmart c309a scan option disappeared

    Scanner and printer of HP Photosmart c309a

    My wife and I are both using iMacs. It is Mountain Lion running, I'm running the Mavericks.

    I checked the updates and we run all the current software.

    We have both access the printer using bluetooth.

    A week ago, we both noticed that the SCAN option disappeared from the Photosmart c309a system pref window.

    I tried to delete the printer, rebooting and then reinstall the printer, the problem remains.

    Attempt to analysis the computer to the printer display panel results in a message on the printer saying "start the Scanner from the computer" as it has always done.

    Print still works fine, so I don't think it's a problem of bluetooth.

    Can't find the answers in the support forum.

    Someone at - it ideas

    Hi Hellsfish,

    This would mean that there is a hardware failure in the machine, but only with the wireless radio. As you know, the printer works still but not wireless. You can certainly still connect via Ethernet or USB for printing and scanning capabilities well.

  • scanner hp photosmart c309a found by mac

    I recently updated my mac to the OSC 10.9.3 maverick and now my mac can not find scanner hp photosmart c309a. the printer is connected to my network router and the mac is wireless. When upgraded to maverck I had to reinstall the printer and now it shows like bluetooth and not Hello then maybe that's why he can't find the scanner. How to fix my mac to find the scanner, I could not find it by either preview or capture images

    Thanks gemini02, you have solved my problem.  my mac can now read the scanner I could reinstall the printer as Hello. I think that the key was to restore the default settings of the printer and restart the router and I have been using an Ethernet, the printing configuration and be able to ping the printer now, I could see it. I also cut the blue tooth of the ip address. Then I was able to reset the imac printer and add new Hello.
