Pronter locked whilst tryiny toprint and nothing freed it so uninstalled and disconnected. Downloaded software and drivers from HP site and connected pronter but although it says that it has installed successfully the system cannot find the printer and control panel cannot locate it if try to add.

Download the most current driver from HP. Disconnect the printer from the computer and uninstall the drivers you have installed, you might have to restart the computer. Install the downloaded driver, it will tell you when to plug in your printer and turn it on. If it still does not show the printer, you may have a USB problem. Go to Device Manager and uninstall the USB Controllers and reboot the computer

Hi,

I recommend that try to download the updated driver for the Video Card because I've encountered that kind of problem with my Sapphire ATI Radeon 6870, I've just downloaded the updated driver through the ATI website.

Hope I've help you somehow. =)

Try downloading the drivers and software from HP.

Uninstall your printer from 'Printers & Faxes'.

Remove your printer from ' add & remove programs'.

Remove your printer from 'Add & remove hardware'.

Disconnect your printer from your computer.

Reboot your computer.

Install the downloaded software from the HP site.

Hook up your printer to your computer.

Your computer should find the new hardware and install your new software.

If not, re-install downloaded software from HP site manually.

I uninstalled/put into trash everything on my system related to the original application. Emptied the trash. Downloaded newest drivers, etc. from HP site and installed on my Mac. Yahoo!!! Scanner works fine!

http://www.printcountry.com/drivers/HP_PHOTOSMART_C4180_DRIVER_DOWNLOAD.htm click the link directly and download it from here.

If its a new computer, but with the same software, don't you think it would be the computer's problem???

Open Printer jobs and delete any print jobs pending. Restart Computer.

Otherwise, uninstall all printer software, disconnect printer, restart pc. resinstall software

Hi

The installation will get stalled at 96% , because due to 3rd party service running, will not allow to install HP printer driver.To resolved this follow below steps

1.Disconnect the Printer and uninstall the software.
2.Reboot the PC.
3.Click start, then in "start search" box type "msconfig"(without quotes).Click OK.
4.In System Configuration Utility, Under GENERAL tab, click on SELECTIVE STARTUP, Uncheck "Load System Services" and "Load Startup Items".Click on Apply
5.Then Click on SERVICES tab, at the bottom Check "Hide all Microsoft Services" and then click "Disable all".
6.Click apply and OK. Reboot the PC.
7.Now install the software.

Please let me know once you have done this.
