Hello,

I have a HP Photosmart C7180 Printer that I have had for quite some time with very little issue. However, recently I have a had problem that i cannot seem to fix.

The printer can be added to the computer and will show up as idle and not in use but then when I go to print something, the popup window will say "The printer is not connected"

I am having this issue on multiple Macs all on Yosemite as well as a work computer running windows 7.

I have tried readding the printer, resenting the printer, reconnecting the printer to my home network, installing it via HP Apps, nothing fixes the problem.

On the rare chance I do get the printer added and successfully print something, the problem will resurface moments later.


Any help or suggesting on permanently resolving the problem?
