When trying to scan or reprint a picture on my HP photosmart C5180, and I choose a 4x6 or 5x7 or8x10, it prints out a thumbnail picture. If I insert my card from my camera, it prints a beautiful 4x6 print. Why is it doing this and what is causing this. Also, if I want to just make a copy of something it prints out with tiny colored lines all over the page.

How is reprinting your item scanning it? That second option reprints my image. I used to be able to scan to microsoft word. What happened to that feature?

Hello,


Have you tried installing a newer version of HP SW? If not, I would give that a try, I've seen this tactic work for a number of customers. Here's a link to a Photosmart product using a newer version -- v12. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=2100&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=3575276


BTW, iIt doesn't matter that the SW is for a different product. Disconnect your product, go through the v12 install, and when it asks you to connect the PS C5580 choose the option that allows you to connect later. Once the SW is installed plug your product back into the PC and open Solution Center and try to scan.


good luck, and do rate the solution if helps

I was printing a downloaded document on my HP C5180 printer that contained 144 pages. The printer started at page 144 and stopped at page 44. How do I get it to print the remaining pages without reprinting...

You don't specify from which application are you printing, or even what operating system are we talking about.
If it's Windows, then you need to open your document, hit Ctrl+P or choose File->Print from the menu, and in the Print dialog that appears specify "1 - 44" in the Pages field. Finally confirm by clicking OK.

Please come back and leave a rating/testimonial if helped.

Scanner problems

You need to have the full photosmart software loaded on the computer and to use this to scan to computer rather than using the buttons on the printer. This is a workaround rather than a fix but it should work
