How do i scan a
Here are the steps to scan documents to your computer
1. Turn on your computer, wait for it to boot up, then turn on your printer.
2. Locate the " HP Photo and Imaging Director " icon on your computer and double click it.
This icon was placed there when you installed your printer.
3. After double clicking on the icon, a menu screen will appear showing the scanning options
available on your C3180 printer.
4. Place your document or picture on the printer's glass top and close the lid.
5. Click on the appropriate selection from the menu screen ( Scan Document or Scan Picture )
6. The scanning process will now take place. The scanner will make two passes. The first pass
will allow you to judge the accuracy of the scan and to make changes, if necessary, from your.
monitor. The second pass is the acceptance of the document/picture to the computer.
7. Scanned documents can be viewed in the " My Documents " folder, scanned pictures can be
viewed in the HP Photo Gallery and the My Pictures folder.
I hope this was of help to you.
Custom Paper Sizes for HP Photosmart C3180
I have a 3100 series HP. On it you select "Properties", then the "Features" tab. On that tab, there is a "Resizing Options" menu item. It has a drop down menu with "Letter", "More...", and "Custom" choices. There you can define the size.
The print cartridge cradle cannot move.
"The print cartridge cradle cannot move."
I fixed this problem by disconnecting the power cord from the power-strip and connecting it directly into the wall. My printer was not getting enough voltage from the power-strip. I hope this helps.
HP printer not printing true color all of a sudden.
Altho the cartridge is new, you may have used all of the ink of one color. Pictures take an enormous amount of ink to print and all three primary colors are used to create the hues and colors indicated on the picture. Try a new color cartridge and see if that works.
USB port problems with hp printer
There are few things to remember using USB.
- If your System is in hybernation mode, don't remove any attached USB device, because it will damage your USB driver. This is one of the known problem from microsoft.
- If you have to remove any USB device use 'Safely Remove Hardware'.
To remove currepted USB drivers its not enough to remove your printer drivers.
- You should un-install the 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers' from Device Manager.
- Then re-boot to clean registry.
- Install the 'Universal Serial Bus Controllers' using XP Setup CD.
- Then check the Mass storage, PDA etc, it should recognized by XP.
- Then install printer driver (don't attach printer to system untill setup finish or setup says to connect).
I think it will fix.
Please let me know your feed-back.
Thanks

When I bought my Windows 7 64bit, my c3180 did everything but scan. I downloaded the drivers 5 times with no avail. I stumbled onto how to do it by accident. Go to control panel, click on devices and printers, click ONCE on HP photosmart 3100 series and look at top of window. It will have several choices, one of which is 'start scanning'. Hope this helps.
