Uninstall all those printers first. restart the computer and reinstall the drivers again.

Hi,

check you printer's properties settings
file, print, properteis or preferences

on the main/general tab
check that your set to
" printing all pages "

and not from-to ( this will only print so many )

hope this helps
Regards
Richard.

If the printer has full functionality with C4100 series driver, then keep the current driver.

If some of the functions is not working , then download updated drivers from HP website.

Check the links below:

HP Photosmart C4180 All-in-One Printer

HP Photosmart C4180 All-in-One Printer

Select software and drivers

Not sure what happen to this but I had the same problem. What you need to do is highlight each one except the first HP Photosmart 4100 series, and delete all the other ones.

So delete the following 6 printers.

Send to One Note 2007
Microsoft XPS Document Writer
HP Photosmart C4100 series (copy 1)
HP --------------------" ------" (copy 2)
HP....................................(copy 3) AND
HP ..................................(copy 4) which is the only one that works!!!!!

Now the one that is left should be the default. Do a test page or print something out to make sure.

This should fix your problem. Please rate.

Here is driver download page for your printer, insert OS version and proceed to download page:
HP Photosmart C4100 All-in-One Printer series

you have to install the drivers for vista, plz check in the manufacture website
