HP All-in-one printers disappearing when there are changes..

1. HP Photosmart C6180 is attached to the LAN via ethernet. There is a XP
machine (laptop) on the LAN which has the HP software for XP installed and
that has not experienced the error or disappearance of the C6180 printer and
fax when network status changes.

2. Only one HP printer on my machine. However, there is a fax server
(SBS2003) on the network and that does not suffer from such problem. Then
again, it doesn't need so much software to make it work in the first place.

3. I have only tried it on Vista x64 machines. I will try on a Vista x86
laptop next.

OK. Just tested on a laptop with Vista x86 Business. It also happens on
that machine. HP Network Printing Service will fail which causes the Host
Process service (or something like that) to fail, which in one case also
caused the HP Digital Image Monitor to fail.

So yes, it happens on both x64 and x86.

Hello,

Thank you for using newsgroup!

Please understand we have no this printer to make a test. Therefore, I am
not sure if the issue is related to the hardware device. I still recommend
you contact HP support to see if they have any information about this issue.

Thanks & Regards,

Ken Zhao

I have already contacted them and got escalated to one of their higher level
support engineer. He claims that they have not seen this (right. 100%
occurance on all my machines) and they will not even look at a fix until
Vista SP1 comes out.

So much for buying from Microsoft Partners.

I have this problem also, my setup is as follows....

HP C5180 Printer connected to DLink DSL-G604T Wireless modem router
via Cat 5 cable. Vista Home Basic Laptop (Dell Inspiron 6400)
connected via Wireless.

Every couple of days the Printer Driver for the C5180 completely
dissappears from the laptop machine and needs to be re-installed.
Once the driver/software for the printer is re-installed everything
works fine for another couple of days, and then the same thing occurs.

I am continuing to troubleshoot this problem (much to the displeasure
of my client), but hope to find a solution soon, else something will
be thrown out the window.

Further Note...

One suggestion i have found on the web is to ensure the Printer is not
running with a DHCP assigned IP Address. I have just checked and
confirm that both the printer and the laptop are running with Static
IP Addresses, yet i still have the same problem.

Cheers

Surago.

Same problem as mlai and others with my C6180 and Vista.
HP points a finger at Microsoft and vice versa.
Nothing happens.
Nice support...

I have an HP Officejet 7410 AIO (wireless network printer). I am having the
same problem. I have 4 networked machines. 3 XPs, 1 Vista Home Premium
(Dell 1705 laptop-Vista was factory installed). The Vista machine keeps
losing the printer. It's no where to be found. But you can't reinstall the
drivers (which I've conveniently left on my desktop as I've needed them so
often), as HP detects that they are there (somewhere). You have to uninstall
the drivers to get to reinstall the drivers, just to get the printer back.
It's time consuming and annoying. You don't look for the drivers UNLESS you
are trying to print.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Kathi

Is the printer located in the registry?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers

Are the printers local devices targeting the network card on the printer or
are these connections to a machine sharing the printers.

When you install the inbox driver for this device, does it also get removed?

When you say HP detects that they are there, do you mean the printers? Do
you know what application is detecting the printers? If HP has software
that detects printers who knows what they might do if the printer is no
longer detected.

Alan: thanks for responding. I know at this time the HP 7410 is not missing
in the registry key you specified. It may go away when I lose the printer,
but I just reinstalled the drivers for umteenth time yesterday.

No I am going across the network to print. (I think that is what you mean),
I am not printing to the HP 7410 printer located ON another computer.

Not sure what you mean by inbox drivers.

What happens is I go to print, the printer is gone in my list of choices to
print to. I go through control panels to see if the printer is there. It's
not of course. When I go to reinstall the drivers, the HP software gives me
the option to either uninstall or add features. I have to uninstall before I
can then RE install the drivers.

I know it's not a network issue (then again I had a lot of trouble going
through Norton Anti Virus to get my XP machines and Vista Machine to talk and
share), because when I do reinstall the drivers the printer is immediately
detected

Thanks Alan!
Kathi

This problem is related to a crash of the HPSLPSVC service which caused a
DEP violation. HP is aware of it and their solution is for you to turn of
DEP. It is like saying "our software has a bug and will not work with
anti-virus softwares so you should disable your av software....."

Just ridiculous!

And they claim that this is a Microsoft problem and we should contact
Microsoft......

My chat with an online HP tech:

Jerome: Hello Marshall.
Jerome: Welcome to HP Total care for All-in-one products. My name is Jerome.
How may I help you today?
Marshall Lai: I am running Vista x64 and x86 in my home and am having
problems with my HP c6180 software when resuming from sleep.
Marshall Lai: Seems that the HPSLPSVC keeps on causing DEP violations on
resume from S3.
Jerome: I will help you with this,please elaborate your issue, so that I can
assist you better?
Marshall Lai: HPSLPSVC causes a DEP violation in Vista (both x64 and x86)
when resuming from S3.
Marshall Lai: Typical event log:
Marshall Lai: Faulting application svchost.exe_HPSLPSVC, version
6.0.6000.16386, time stamp 0x4549b5f5, faulting module hpslpsvc64.dll,
version 82.0.173.0, time stamp 0x457ce186, exception code 0xc0000005, fault
offset 0x00000000000550ad, process id 0xc60, application start time
0x01c7b196eff7584c.
Marshall Lai: And this will cause the printer to disappear from the computer
and will have to be added back in via running the installation software
Jerome: I understan your concern.
Marshall Lai: I have searched on the web and seems that other people running
vista and have HP network printers on their network are experiencing the
same problem.
Jerome: Please give me few minutes so that I can go through the mssage.
Jerome: Let us perform few steps to disable DEP.
Jerome: Here arae the steps:
Jerome: Disable DEP in Vista:

1. Click Start
2. Click All Programs
3. Click Accessories
4. Right Click on Command Prompt
5. Left click on Run as Administrator
6. Click the Allow button if it asks you for permission
Jerome: Please perform the above steps and let me know I will provide you
further steps.
Marshall Lai: I really don't want to disable DEP globally in Vista.
Marshall Lai: One has to be crasy to do that. Also, in Vista x64, you cannot
disable DEP anyway.
Jerome: Marshall,I suggest you to contact Microsoft they will help you with
this.
Marshall Lai: Microsoft suggested me to contact HP as it is an HP service
that causes the DEP violation.
Jerome: Marshall if we disable the DEP it will be resolve.
Jerome: So I suggest you to disable the DEP by following the above steps.
Marshall Lai: It is like saying: The software has a problem with your
anti-virus software and you should disable your anti-virus software.
Marshall Lai: Will you be having a fix or will this be a requirement to
running your softwares?

This sounds more like an authentication issue. I am pretty sure the printer
is still resident in the spooler, but your user account no longer has access
so you can enumerate it when opening the printers folder.

Does printmanagement.msc exist on your machine? If it does launch this and
see is the printer is listed? It sounds like you are using an XP driver.
HP does have a Vista driver for download for this device but the duplex
feature does not work as expected. HP gave me a fix for that.
