My HP C5180 printer will not work with my windows 7 OS. I have tried downloading the windows 7 driver from the HP website but it still won't work. The problem occurs when I try to install the printer. I connect the printer when prompted but this action does not seem to be recognised.

SOURCE: HP Photosmart c7180 unable to scan since Windows 7 computer

I'm having the same issue. I've uninstalled and re-installed the drivers several times now. I was unable to find hpqscnvw or hpqscnappi in my bin folder. I did find hpqdstcp and double clicked on it...it does nothing. I do not have hpqgrpky in my bin folder either...I DO have hpqkygrp though...I double click it and it displays the message "The scanning software was launched with improper command-line arguments. Extended error information: 8, [(-1, 0 0)]".

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

SOURCE: HP Color Laser Jet printer CM1312nfi: scanner no

Go to your network and sharing center. Choose homegroup and sharing options. Change advanced sharing settings. Under your home or work profile, scroll down to file sharing connections. Switch to enable file sharing for devices that use 40 or 56 bit encryption. If that does not work, under password protected sharing, select "turn off password protected sharing". This is not recommended if you use your computer in multiple locations (laptop). I have found that turning all of these features off, running a scan from the printer successfully and then turning them back on, Windows seems to be comfortable allowing the printer to connect to the computer.

It sounds like you downloaded the PCL Universal Driver. Try the full solution driver or the PostScript Universal Driver. Both allow color prints.

Printer HP Photosmart C5180 Series cannot be contacted over the network

Check with HP for a Windows 7 driver for the printer. HP Ink Jets require proper drivers to work correctly. Once you have downloaded and installed the drivers try connecting again.
If you have installed the drivers and Windows 7 still refuses to "talk" to the printer, you may have to adjust your advanced network settings as well. Open up the Network and Sharing center, click on advanced sharing settings and make sure file and printer sharing is turned on. Also check "File Sharing Connections" and enable file sharing for devices that use 40 or 56 bit encryption.
If that fails to work you may need to speak with HP support for further assistance.

System won't recognize downloaded driver, I have installed an update provided on HP's site, but it still won't work. trying to install on a windows 7 computer. had installed it earlier on a...

When downloading a printer driver from HP you will need to ensure that you are selecting the correct OS (eg. Windows 7) and the appropriate version (eg. 64 or 32 bit operating system). These drivers are different and using one on the other will not work.
Windows XP drivers also will not work properly in a Windows 7 environment and the majority of Windows XP drivers are 32-Bit.

I recently purchased a new laptop with Windows 7, and I cannont get my hp photosmart C5180 printer to scan. It worked great with Windows xp, but not I'm dead in the water.

Here is the location of latest driver software for the printer. Make sure to also download and install the updates that are also available. One is scanner related. The are also two diagnostic utilities available at the same site.

I want to download an updated version of my HP printer disc which only covers up to Vista. My new laptop is Windows 7

If you go to the HP website and can't find a Windows 7 driver for your printer, that printer may not be supported under Windows 7. You can try the Windows Vista driver, but if that doesn't work right you may have to get a new printer that is compatible with Windows 7.

They will be in a zip file
This one is only for Vista :)

Printer drivers for HP Photosmart C5180 for windows 98

hi...
- to tell you honestly HP did not support windows 98 for their new printers... so there is no way you can find the driver for windows 98... all you can do is to upgrade your OS to XP or vista....
