HP6180 Photsmart
Initially installed on Dell desktop running XP. Subsequently installed on
toshiba Laptop Satelliet P100. It worked fine, but every time the USB was plugged in, it reloaded the software, and asked to register. On one occasion the printer couldn't be found, and the printer folder showed no HP device. The next time, the software was back. Recently it disappeared, never to be seen again. I spent 3 hours live chat with HP techs, and we tried downloading new softwart 3 times. Twice it said couldn't load, third time indicated software loaded, but it is not. Finally HP had me download a Laser 990c, which works, but we couldn't find the solution to the original problem. The laptop knows the printer is there, but I think the printer drivers are either hidden, or there is a download limitation. As I said the software was loading each time I turned on the laptop, and now, when review my photos, I note that the system identifies itself as 6180#13. Anybody else had a similar experience? |

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/s...c=en&cc=us&dlc =en&product=1153494&lang=en HP Photosmart Full Feature Software and Drivers 03-2007 080.001.225.000 - 159.05M and also the updates and fixes like the one for stopping it uninstalling? Also when you installed the printer software did you do it with the printer's USB cable not connected to the PC? If you are using a PC that has been upgraded to VISTA it may be worthwhile using the HP uninstaller utility on that page. |
