My printer was working now it's not. I have two macs connected with an airport to my printer HP C6180 they print fine. So did my Sony Vaio and then it stopped printing and I can't get it to print again. I downloaded the driver from HP for Vista for my printer and still it wont print. I saw another post for this on your website and tried that solution but that didn't work either. This is the mother of all problems.....Help

Try to clean your printheads or check the level of your inks, maybe you are low on inks. Operating system does not affect any printing outputs as I know. Check your inks also coz HP cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-HP ink. If ink cartridges have been refilled, try replacing them with genuine HP ink cartridges.
If the print defect is minor, it might be caused by reserve mode operation. When the printer runs out of some colors, it can continue printing using remaining inks, but print quality may be affected. If cyan, magenta, or yellow is out, the printer can print only in grayscale.
Replace any empty print cartridges.
To check ink levels, follow the steps below.
OR try calibrate the color:
2. On the Device Services tab, click Calibrate Color , then follow the onscreen instructions. The procedure takes about two minutes and requires two sheets of paper.
If the steps above did not help, clean the print head.
Please let me know if these steps helped you or not. Thanks

I removed any printer configurations for this printer in both my pc and my mac (both usb and wireless). Then I restarted both computers and added the printer via usb again to each. At that point I went back to the extreme configuration and under the printers tab it was finally seeing Hewlett Packard Laserjet 1020. After that, adding via Bonjour went smoothly on both platforms.

Wow, I have the same Hp Printer and the same problem!
I am having the same problem with my Vaio laptop operating system vista. My printer just stopped working. I've removed the printer & software from the laptop and reinstalled (advised by HP support) and it worked for 1 day and won't print again. Is there any help out there?!
same problem -- was working for months - stopped. other computers on the network use a usb port to access the shared printer. This is not an option on the sony. if you chose "add port" it is still not an option.
