You will probably have to go to this page to download the new Mac drivers for Snow Leopard to get the full functionality of your All-in-one printer back.

Print functions are generic enough where you don't need to have the most updated driver for it to work. But the scanning functionalities are more complicated.

Find the driver for your computer here:

HP Photosmart C3180 All-in-One printer, Scanner, Copier will not scan with Mac OS 10.4. The button flashes for a few seconds, then stops and nothing happens. No image appears on my computer screen.

All lot of those printers came with two separate driver's disc. Make sure that you are installing the correct for the mac and not windows. If you are you can go to the hp website and do a search on there website for the driver for mac operating system.

BOUGHT NEW DELL COMPUTER. DELL 810 WILL NOT SCAN TO COMPUTER, BUT WILL PRINT WHEN YOU SCAN

My 810 acted up suddenly and just stopped working. It had been ok with a new computer which is now 2 years old. I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer driver. That solved my problems.

Do you have HP solution center installed on the computer? You need this software on you PC to scan correctly. You can download it from HP here:
http://h20180.www2.hp.com/apps/Lookup?h_lang=en&h_cc=us&cc=us&h_page=hpcom&lang=en&h_client=S-A-R163-1&h_pagetype=s-002&h_query=c5200&submit=Go+%BB

Just pick the exact model you have and correct operating system (Windows XP, Windows 98, Mac OS 10.5) then pick the bundle/full feature driver and install that and your scanner should allow you to scan to you PC. You may find it less of a hassle to scan from the PC by using HP software and selecting scan.

C6180 stopped scanning after installing leopard

Unplug the printer from the computer, uninstall the printer software, and download the latest software and drivers from the HP website.

Leave the printer unplugged from the computer while you reinstall the software. When the installation program asks you to plug in the printer, do so.

One the software has completed installation, reattempt the scanning function.
