Device I/O Notification warning; won't end program Since I installed the C7280, I have spent about 6 hours on the phone with India, first with HP, then Microsoft, then D-Link and then, finally, paying Geek Squad to solve this problem. No luck. Whenever I try to log off, I get a Device I/O notification and failure to end program warning. I also often get a "printer offline" notice, even though it's not offline. I have trashed the CD and downloaded the software from HP website and reinstalled, with limited success. Whenever I disconnect the printer and trash the software, my computer funcitons fine. Any solutions?

Thanks for replying. I suspected it was the driver from HP. I'll give this a shot.

I had the same problem for months until on last week until I traced the cause to Hewlett Packard's printer driver included in a bundle of programs that came with the printer. I downloaded a specific driver for the printer, deleted all the other rubbish.HP customer service treats people like idiots.I bought another printer.

Mr. Anderson, Thank you for your respond, I haven't connect my laptop through the printer. I try the "activity monitor" you mentioned. I appreciate your reply.

Hi Patricia. The unit itself is a very nice device. Where I had problems, was with the software. It worked once, maybe twice, but that was it. A search of the Internet revealed that many others had problems with the software too. What I ended up having to do, was to find a program on the Internet, that I could manually add the results into. When you say that it stopped working, do you mean the unit itself stopped working, or the communications with the software stopped working? I've only had mine a couple of months, and I don't use it that often, so I have no idea if mine will be working a year from now, or if it will stop working as yours did. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I have a C309g-m, which was cheaper and is a grotesque piece of garbage, in every way possible. I don't know anything about yours, so can't offer an opinion except to say I'll never buy an HP printer again. I had to get rid of a great Cannon printer that was perfect, but could not attach it to my new HP. Always a new rip off just around the corner. Good luck keeping that pig in ink.

Sorry, I don't know. Maybe you can get confirmation through HP customer service on their website

I don't know about Windows 8, but as far as I'm concerned it isn't even worth worrying about... Nasty flimsy printer, horrid customer service - the 7510 replaced an older worn-out HP all-in-one which was fine/better quality, but which left behind an HP embedded printer file which took 4 hours to remove (including 2 1/2 hours with HP tech support in India taking over my computer remotely) before I could even install the 7510. (I getting a double-window popup on my screen, which I couldn't get rid of and finally Googled to find it was an HP printer file. There were MANY other people on the forum with the same issue...) This printer also no longer has HP Solution Center support - according to HP: Microsoft required HP to use MS print software with its new printers.. Really?! I guess I'm supposed to have "stupid" stamped on my forehead? The custom options for printing are drastically reduced. I bought add'l large capacity cartidges, which were defective... I've been a loyal HP customer for 35 years, but will never buy another HP product! I gave the new 7510 to a friend for his kids to play with... BUY A CANON! I'm very happy with the Canon MX892 (I even bought an extra to have on hand.) This printer is solid, easy to set up, prints quality photos, has all the customizable print options HP used to have +, and is miles above the new HP "quality"!

Sorry I can't help you out but, I don't know. Send a email to HP and, you should have a answer.

not sure about that, but the printer utility, and both printer drivers have crashed multiple times in the past year. HP support does not know why, they just sugest a complete uninstal and reinstall each time. I love the quality of printing, but I hate the software.

In my case, I was just reinstalling. The link came from the manufacturer from my notebook, HP. I would look there first.

Sorry, can not help on this. My unit was defected and I return it back to factory, never work. I got HP after and happy with. I'm answering because Amazon ask me to do this.

Please let me know what you find out! I REALLY appreciate your note! I called hp and after paying $39 for the service call and spending more than an hour and a half on the phone with their techs, I was told there was nothing they could do! Wanted you to know so that you don't spend the money if you don't have to! Again, thanks so much for your note!Robin

You may need install HP printer control APP 1. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hp.printercontrol&hl;=enand HP E Print2. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hp.android.printI personally do not have that printer but this APPs must do the trick to enable network based printing to your HP printer.Let us know if this suggestion works for your.ThanksBest wishesRbhatta

I'm having the same problem. I just rebooted it and used it for a while, browsing the embedded web server, then watched it go dead as soon as it entered sleep mode. I woke it up by tapping the touchscreen but it still doesn't reconnect. Its wireless status screen shows it connected with an IP address. Pinging that IP address gets no response. Very frustrating.UPDATE: Rebooting my Netgear N600 (Model WNDR3700) router seemed to fix the problem, even after the printer went back into sleep mode.

a good answer is to just do away with HP. Their support will charge you even if it's within a year (happened on a laptop we had). Keep asking around though, im sure someone will be able to give you the answer you're looking for

Yes, If you can get it back on line. My printer would go off line and it got so i could not get it registered with google cloud print! I gave up on my chromebook.

Hi sijia, my issue was with the drivers/software not playing nice with my computer. I had an alien ware m17x at the time. I never pin pointed the problem but I was able to get them to work by installing the updated software from the website. However I was getting crazy errors. But I noticeed after running the installer you will have like 6 new programs under add/remove programs. So I started uninstalling one at a time and seeing when the errors stopped and when the lights would still turn on. Unfortunately I feel like everyone will have a different problem, but it's a place to start. Good luck! Hi sijia, my issue was with the drivers/software not playing nice with my computer.
