Stampante HP F4180

[cirifischio]

Stampante HP F4180 si accende, il tasto di accensione lampeggia ma non fa nulla, aprendo lo sportellino del vano cartucce queste non si spostano e non funziona nemmeno lo scanner. Ho ricaricato tutti i driver ma la stampante non viene vista da Window 7.
Come si resetta tutta la stampante?

HP F4180 printer turns on, the power button flashes but does nothing, by opening the cartridge compartment door they do not move and the scanner does not work either. I have reloaded all the drivers but the printer is not seen by Window 7.

How do I reset the entire printer?

I understand you are facing an issue with your HP Deskjet F4180 All-in-One Printer is experiencing issues where the power button flashes, the cartridge carriage does not move, and the scanner does not work, resetting the printer might help resolve the problem. 
 

Here’s how to reset the printer:

• Disconnect the power cord from the back of the printer and the wall outlet.
• Unplug any USB cables connected to the printer.

Remove All Cartridges:

• Open the cartridge compartment door and carefully remove all cartridges.
• Inspect the cartridges and their contacts for dirt or debris. Clean them gently using a lint-free cloth and distilled water if necessary.

Perform a Power Drain:

• With the printer unplugged, press and hold the power button for 30 seconds to drain any residual power.
• Leave the printer disconnected for at least 2-3 minutes.

Reconnect Power:

• Plug the power cord back into the printer and the wall outlet.
• Turn the printer back on using the power button.

Reinstall Cartridges:

• Wait until the printer is idle and silent.
• Reinstall the cartridges into their respective slots.

Check for Movement:

• Close the cartridge compartment door and check if the carriage moves to the center or performs an initialization process.
