Fatal Error during Installation - MSI.dot4wrp01

Try this link. I was able to resolve this with this solution.

scanning through bluetooth is not possible bluetooth module only pairs the computer and printer and has link only to the basic driver of the computer so you can only print from it
if you want to scan you should connect te usb cable or use a wireless upgrade kit

There's a chip in the cartridge that identifies the maker of the ink. You got a cartridge that has a bad chip in it.

c-2ff0370 is a "Faulty Display" error code according to HP. From my perspective, it's a self destruct code that's good for HP's business. With noting otherwise wrong with my 7500A wide format, there is no way to update the firmware given the display malfunction, therefore the printer must be replaced. HP offers though free shipping on a new printer and free return of the damaged printer implying they will fix the returned printed and sell it again as reconditioned. Perhaps I will sell it to someone else instead? For the record, this error occurred right after I installed and connected a new dual band modem. It's too much of a coincidence that after 4-5 years a simple WIFI signal could damage the machine but elsewhere others are suggesting the same.

Unlock the rear service panel and look for what jamming the micro switch ( most times it a small white switch )

Both cartridges are new?..Might be old/clogged stock. Step 1:

2. Click Settings, and then click Printer Toolbox.
3. Click the Device Services tab, and then click Clean the Print Cartridges.

Hi! that sweeper is used from the printer to keep cleaned the Timing Strip (that strip with so much vertical lines that you can see behind the carriage attached from left and right, long all the lenght of the printer! This brush is usually attached behind the carriage, so you can't attach it without opening all the printer and removing the carriage unit, but it's not so important for the printer, just in case in future you'll have "Carriage Jam" error without paper jammed take a cotton swab with some alcohol (If isophophil is better) and clean that strip, but just to say, it's not so important, so much hp printers doesn't use that brush! Hope you found it useful, for any futher question i'm here :)

Scanned documents are typically transferred as images and therefore cannot be opened in notepad. You can try looking into an OCR program that will read the text in the image and turn it into an editable text file which should then open in notepad. There are a few "freeware" programs out there but beware of trojans and malware that may come with them. The old driver for that printer used to come with OCR ability but it is not available on the new software version HP has on their support site. You can try searching for version 11 of the driver but you may not be able to find it and make it work.

You may download the HP software and drivers from http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&dlc=en&jumpid=reg_r1002_usen_c-001_title_r0001&lc=en&product=3575276&

Print head clogged, try to clean print head through cleaning mode.. Replace Print head..

I had this same issue. I had attempted to resolve it with the directions above from Mohammed. This worked one of the 8 times I had to reattempt shortly thereafter. I contacted customer support, and he stated that it was a hardware issue within the printer and offered to "replace" it. Since it was out of warranty it would be replaced with the Photosmart C5520 at a cost of $100.00. At the time of offer a 2 second search showed this same model was available from amazon for 97.50 brand new. So in all reality if its under warranty still your golden. If not, your Shitouttaluck.

Download the XP driver and it will work for Vista - just make sure you pick the correct XP driver for yr operating system - either 32 bit or 64 bit. Makes a huge diffs if you choose the wrong one. If u not sure wot Vista bit system you have, go to System (in control panel) and look at the System properties, you will see either 32 bit or 64 bit.

When you say generic cartridges, are you referring to 'compatibles' that you purchased on-line? If so, you are rolling the dice with those since often they can easily suffer internal micro-electronic malfunctions - sorry no money back guarantee with those. It is suggested you purchase new HP OEM (genuine) cartridges, use them and then go get them refilled at either Costco (most USA/Canada locations) or Fry's Electronics (all locations)...you'll save ~50% on the cost when refilling. Anything goes wrong you can bring them back. :-)With respect to your current 'generic' cartridge problem, you can validate the HP74/75 cartridge's electrical health by running the 'Tap 41' diagnostics test report. Refer to video procedure on how to activate and read the service test report for your C5580 printer: http://inkjet411.com/?page_id=536 1. Load Letter/A4-size paper into paper feed tray. 2. If any lights are blinking, first press Cancel to attempt to clear. 3. Press and HOLD the Cancel button, press Ok button once. 4. At 'Mfg Commands' menu, click Right Arrow once until 'uiaux service' menu is displayed. 5. At 'uiaux service' menu, click the Right Arrow until Special Reports menu is displayed. 6. Select Ok, then click Right Arrow until the 'print-mech button tap' menu is displayed. 7. Select Ok (Code = 0 will be displayed); click and hold Right Arrow until 'code = 41' is displayed. Use the Left Arrow if you need to decrease numerical count. 8. Select Ok. Within one minute the Tap 41 diagnostic test report should be initiated and print (whether ink cartridges are good or not, i.e. this is a forced print test). See following 4 paragraphs (or video) on how to interpret diagnostic report..... --- Providing the color cartridge is partially functioning the Tap 41 diagnostic test print will be printed (this is a forced service print test which is mainly used for the evaluation of ink cartridge electrical health). A good HP 75/75XL color cartridge should display 600 good nozzles, while a good HP 74/74XL black ink cartridge should show 672 good nozzles. If the results yield anything different then the ink cartridge is likely damaged and will need to be replaced. Refer to video on how to read the printout. http://inkjet411.com/?page_id=536For more information on refilling your HP74/75 cartridges or general printing problems, please visit Inkjet411:http://www.inkjet411.com

Hi, I used to remove programme, and download latest update

If you go to the link below and chose your OS, then under Drivers select the full feature software and drivers, you will recieve the program. When you run the software it will pop-up a menu of options. On that menu is an install for the additional software. This will reinstall the hp solution center.
