delete and re-install your software.

JUST GO TO PRINTERS IN YOUR CONTROL PANNEL AND SELECT ON PRINTERS PAGE ADD A NEW DIVISE CLICK ON ADD A NEW PRINTER AND IT WILL TELL YOU THE REST

Unplug the USB cable to the printer. Uninstall the HP printer software. Reboot. Reinstall the HP printer software and WAIT until the installation program tells you to plug in the USB cable.

This printer photosmart c4280 do not have print head fixed in printer, The print heads are in cartridges, replace with original ones.

I had the same problem.  The thing is I was pressing the scan button on the printer and getting the lovely "USB not connected" message.  However, if you open the printer icon in the dock (Mine is "HP Photosmart C4200 series") and click the Scanner button in the upper right hand corner, then click "New Scan," voila!  presto! and all is right with the world again.  
Yes, it is obnoxious that HP made a defective scanner button, and I may download the driver again when I get a chance.  But yay for quick fixes!

You are listed in the wrong section of Fixya. This section is for Car and Truck Experts. Relist in a section which more closely matches your product.I can tell you that using the makers Website can lead to finding the Owners Manuals online or result in finding a Phone# for help.I hope my info is useful.

Have you tried replacing your bulb? Hope this helps.

lost cd for installation for HP Photosmart C4280

I resolved this by going to "tools" -> "Clean Print Head".

1. Make sure that you removed the tape covering the metal contacts on the print cartridges.

2. Clean those contacts with a cotton swab and distilled, filtered or bottled water. Tap water may damage. Do not touch with curious fingers. Allow to dry.

3. Reinsert, Reset printer.

Not directly. The C4280 doesn't connect to a phone. You can scan a document on it, then fax it from the computer if the computer is connected to the phone system.

salam,dear, firstly check that whether the usb ports are disabled or not! if disable, then enable them.check for the drivers for usb.check this online help.you can check this also..www.vet-clinics.blogspot.com

I have had the same problem. When I was trying to fix it, noticed that my color cartridge was almost empty. I understood the alignment page was not prepared well. After changing cartridge, I prepared a new alignment page, then tried it and it worked

hmmmm...assuming that the cartridge is installed properly, yes? seems that your black ink cartridge may need to go through a 'clean' process, prior to alignment(sure wish that the replacement folks would insist on cleaning out the old heads, before doing an alignment. It's like changing the oil on your car, but using the old filter. Same gunk still in the system.

check to make sure your not out of colored ink ! the ink cartridge in printer may need replaced. good-day ! if thats not the case, just reinstall printer to computer.
