HP Photosmart C3180 freezes

[Mindstorm]

I recently installed new HP Photosmart C3180 All-in-One Printer on my computer. But after being on for more than 1 hour, it freezes. The screen turns off and all the buttons stay lit up. I tried pressing any of the buttons but nothing happens. Anyone else had this problem? Please help!

When you are trying to use a large-capacity memory card (usually higher than 128 MB), the printer appears to lock up or freeze, and some times it displays an error message. To solve this issues, allow the printer to completely read the memory card when it is first inserted before performing any action on the printer. If the memory card reader LED is blinking green, that means that the card is being read by the printer. Wait for the LED to stop blinking.

This is a known problem in HP Photosmart C3180, which has been solved in the latest release of firmware update. Use your Windows HP software updater or download the update installer from the HP website directly. All you need to do is connect the printer to USB.

I think Rawko is correct. Even I had such kind of problem before which I resolved by totally removing any references to HP printers from my system. Removed the printer and restarted the computer. I then went to the HP site and downloaded the latest driver again, installed it and plugged in the printer when asked. This solved my issue.
