Wireless printing with HP Photosmart C4580

C4580 Wireless printer setup

I recently bought an HP Photosmart C4580 All-in-one printer, encouraged by HP's level of support for open source.

First step was to download and install the latest HPLIP drivers from http://hplipopensource.com  then run hp-setup to install the printer. It worked perfectly connected over USB, but I really wanted wireless to work. No joy. hp-setup wouldn't see the printer to set up wirelessly.

Finally at about 10:30 on a Saturday night I went onto the hp website and registered my problem, thinking if I got a response in the next two weeks I'd be in good shape. Next morning a reply was waiting for me. And even better, it worked! the C4580 now prints wirelessly - brilliant bit of kit. See here: https://answers.launchpad.net/hplip/+question/82615

In essence, the C4580 isn't officially supported over wireless, though I confess I'm a bit confused as I've found other posts on the web that say it is. To allow hp-setup to configure it you need to change the wireless support setting in the config for the driver..

> sudo gedit /usr/share/hplip/data/models/models.dat

Then search for the section [photosmart_c4500_series]
in that section, change wifi-config=0 to wifi-config=1

re-run hp-setup and this time the printer will be found when you select wireless setup

Haven't mastered the scanner over wireless yet, but stay tuned

  2. @darthblogger:

    sudo apt-get install hplip hplip-gui

    the hplip-gui might be included in hplip, but I'm not sure. Either way, iirc, that's all you need.

  3. Well, once you've got the HP LIP TOOLBOX (doing that Lotus said (thanks bro)) you could get the scanner via wireless to work, only select SCAN on the main menu, it works using GIMP+xsane or xsane directly. I just tried it (HP Photosmart C4580 on Ubuntu 9.10 64bits), once again, THANKS

  23. I am a technical writer based in Tampa, USA and I have been writing blogs on many technical products that have impressed me so far. When it comes to streaming, I have explored a lot of devices. But I have never come across a product like Roku. It is fabulous and more dynamic in design. The shape resembles a Pendrive yet it could bring you loads of Entertainment. The features of the Roku player are pretty decent and especially the enhanced voice search is what impressed me the most. The search provides me almost every movie that I like

  25. Roku Ultra has been quite a revelation in the field of streaming devices that have been released in recent years. The device is superior as it sounds to be. It supports 4K HDR feature and has advanced voice recognition so that you can search for your favorite content by just using your voice. There is also a night listening mode that makes you avoid unnecessary sounds while watching TV. The device is capable of launching applications such as Plex and a headphone jack is also provided for you to listen.
    For enquiries regarding the Roku com link activation , check our website.

  38. KLM Airlines flight, Just amazing — they’ve never been late for me, but KLM Name Change Policy is easy to understand. After searching so much about the modification policy, finally, I got a solution by {Airlinespolicy.com }. They have crisp, short, and relevant information about modification, cancellation, check-in, Baggage, and Pet policy. They helped me a lot during the harsh Covid-19 time. I am very thankful to the team of airlinespolicy.
