Hp C8180 Printer
Ozella Vires
OK because the printer was capable of printing ONE print fine after doing the hardware reset (via the secret menu), I ascertained that the print head was indeed functioning fine. It was only when it tried to clean itself that it developed the "problem".
I've followed your instructions. It keeps going back to the hardware failure screen. I press OK to clear it, then it says to press cancel to continue, then it goes back to hardware failure screen. If the printer has been rebooted to get it to print that one print job so many of us have been experiencing, will all have to be cleared or is this problem more serious than others have been experiencing? Thanks for any help. This is my second HP Photosmart printer with this issue and I'm concerned it will mean I won't buy HP again if it continues.
Step Two for C8180: NVM Reset
1. Unplug the power cord from the back of the HP All-in-One.
2. Wait for the unit to go to the sleep mode. Wait for 60 seconds.
3. Press and hold Print Photos & Photo Fix (below this is actually the "red eye removal")
buttons simultaneously on the control panel; keep them pressed and reconnect the power cord to the All-in-One.
4. Continue pressing the buttons until the display goes blank or Reset shows on the control panel display.

The HP C8180 is the company's top of the line all-in-one device, mating a 9600-dpi scanner capable of both reflective and transparency scanning with a printer that also includes CD/DVD burning and label printing with LightScribe. But it also wins the Ms. Congeniality Award for its touchscreen interface, card reader and its connectivity options: Hi-Speed USB, Ethernet, PictBridge, Wireless G and Bluetooth.
The C8180 has no standalone fax capability. It can, however, scan legal-size documents and print photos with HP's Vivera six-color ink set. And it can also print lined school paper (graph paper, notebook paper, task checklist and music paper) right from the control panel.
The C8180 comes with an easy-to-follow installation booklet, which we always applaud, although this one is a bit complex. But so is the printer. Do you want to connect it to your network or a computer? And if a network, do you want to connect with a cable or wirelessly?
The wireless feature in this day of broadband routers is a tremendous advantage in placing the printer. It can go anywhere, really, as long as your router can find it. Since it also operates without a computer to copy photos or documents, you don't have to keep it with the computer gear. All you need is an electrical outlet.
The first step in installing the device is to unpack it. At 25 lbs. that isn't trivial. Lay the box on its side and slide the printer out so it is upright. Remove the plastic bag and then take off all the tape and protective film (covering the light plastic color and the LCD).
The second step (well, step five in the booklet) is to provide power to the printer so you can install the ink cartridges. The power cord to the wall outlet is quite short but the thin power cord from the brick to the printer is quite long. Just connect the power cord and the adapter to the back of the printer and press the Power button in front to turn it on.
HP supplies a set of starter inks that are chemically distinct from their regular cartridges. The ink in these cartridges, which are all packed together, is formulated to mix with the ink already in the print head assembly. When they're depleted, you can install normal Vivera 02 cartridges.
The latches are color coded. Match the ink cartridge to the color coded latch and push the cartridges in, then close the latch securely. They only go in one way (with the HP logo upright) and they don't have to click into place. Just push them in until they stop and then close the latch. The latch does click into place, providing the tension needed to hold the cartridge in place.
To load paper, you pull out the paper tray from the bottom and put plain white paper in to print the calibration page. You can also load the photo paper tray by lifting the photo tray lid, pulling out the photo tray and inserting the paper with the printing surface down. Push the tray back in and lower the lid. Then pull out the tray extender and lift up the paper catch to make sure your prints don't hit the floor.
The paper trays are the weakness of the C8180, which is otherwise stoutly engineered. It's easy to forget when you have to lift the tray lid and how to get to the photo tray. It seems like the trays should pull out further than they do and it's hard to tell when they're fully inserted.
To make a wireless connection, you have to know what your router's network name is (sometimes called the SSID) and what the password is (WEP or WPA). If you don't have a password, you should. Take this golden opportunity to set one up.
You can enter the network name of your router manually if the printer can't find it. But in either case, you'll have to manually enter the password. Make sure you observe the correct case when you type it in. The virtual keyboard makes a nice clicking sound.
The most important ones we found in using the printer involved setting up the CD/DVD drive to be used by either the computer, the printer or shared by both. When the drive is set up to be shared and after backing up a memory card to it, we would get an error message on the computer through the HP Message Center that only one memory device at a time was supported.
The other important settings have to do with how much automatic editing the printer does to your photos. You can, for example, set the printer to always scan for and fix red-eye (which is not a bad idea unless you never have red-eye). There's a big Red-Eye button on the control panel, too.
You can also tell the printer to use HP's Photo Fix technology to enhance your images. We found that to be a large pain, partly because turning it off on the computer seemed to have no effect on the printer setting.
We printed an image first directly from the card with Photo Fix enabled on the printer and then we printed the same image from the computer, disabling Photo Fix in the print setup dialog box. The first print looked good but the second was grossly oversaturated.
Bluetooth takes a separate configuration step using the Web-based interface to turn it on and assign a password, if you want. We had great fun copying cell phone images to the printer, which spit out 4x6 prints (but we had to wait until each print was done before sending the next image).
Those include the Slide and Negative Film light power port, the Ethernet port, the Rear USB port and the Power connection in the lower left corner and the Rear door for clearing paper jams or installing the duplexing option. Make your physical connections (which may just be the AC cord) and you can forget about the rear of the machine.
The C8180's lid contains a light source for one strip of 35mm film. The Lid backing provides a white background to scan reflective material but it also detaches to reveal the light source and a slide and negative film holder that you lay on the scanner glass.
The paper trays are built-into the C8180. There is a small 4x6 photo tray that uses tabbed sheets for full bleeds. It sits above a small capacity letter-sized tray. The output tray with an extension to catch longer sheets is also the cover to the paper trays. It lifts up to provide access to the paper trays. And the large tray slides out a bit for full access.
Just below the lid and above the trays is the Control Panel on the left and the card reader of the right with the CD/DVD writer just below the card reader. A series of status lights is below the CD/DVD writer.
The top section of the printer lifts up to reveal the ink cartridge bays. A latch holds each cartridge in its color-coded bay. Installation and remove of the cartridges is easy but it can be a little unnerving to simply slip the cartridge into the bay because nothing snaps into place until you lower the latch.
