Altough, the link cene765 is pointing to is for the HPLJ1005P which has vista drivers though these are two completely different printers. Searching the web for custom drivers now, will post solution if finding any.

You can go to http://www.infdump.com/inf-files/U_1.html and downlaod the missing file and update the same.This will require technical expertise and if you cannot do that yourself then call the manufacturer tech support ( 1-800-474-6836 toll free).Need to mention more specifically which file is missing.

4.Add
a semi-colon to end of the existing text, and then add the path to
%SystemRoot%\System32. The result should be similar to:
%SystemRoot%\inf;%SystemRoot%\System32

Do not remove the %SystemRoot%\inf file path from the DevicePath registry entry.

5.Click OK to save the new value, and then close Registry Editor.

6.Delete “INFCACH.1” FROM C:\Windows and C:\Windows\Inf Directories (if it exists)

7.Ensure that there is a copy of the usbstor.inf file in C:\Windows\Inf If there isn’t – follow the below steps:a)From another Vista system (copy it out of another Vista system and copy it directly into the C:\Windows\inf directory

OR

b)From the problem machine, run Command Prompt ( as administrator). From C:\ do a dir usbstor.inf /s. Wherever the file is found, go to that directory and copy all the files located in that directory to C:\Windows\inf directory

8.Open device manager, uninstall all unknown devices (right click, uninstall) so they all disappear from the list

9.Reboot the computer

10.Plug the device in (the drivers will now install and the device will be usable!)

one option you have is to go to hp/support type in your product c6180 you'll have software download options for windows 7. These downloads should enable your printer to print again. Although from using windows 7 the os has been very good at recognizing printers when plugged in. Could try unplugging and replugging the printer in from the usb. Windows 7 might recognize and automatically download the correct drivers. If not download the software from hp.

Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP require files named printupg.inf and printupg.PNF to be found in the Windows .inf folder. If these files are missing or damaged, no printer can be installed and the error of incorrect parameter will come, and the existing files need to be removed if present, and a fresh copy of printupg.inf restored from the Windows backup archive.
Kindly Do the following steps:--------

After the above steps, you will be sure that the Computer is showing all files. After it >..............

Close the other applications. Double-click the hard drive icon that Windows is installed in, the name usually ends with C: .

Double-click the Windows or WINNT folder icon.

Double-click the .inf folder icon

On the Menu bar, click View , then Details .

Click the word Name above the list of folder and file icons until the list is in alphabetical order.

Scroll down the list to the section where files starting with the word print are located.

If files are found named printupg.inf or printupg.PNF , rename them using the following procedure:----

Right-click on one of the files, then click Rename

Click at the right edge of the file name to remove the highlight from the name.

Press the Backspace key on the keyboard three times to remove the inf or PNF letters

Type the reverse of the three letters, then press the Enter key on the keyboard. For example, inf would be replaced with fni, and PNF would be replaced by FNP.

If the other file is present, Repeat Steps as through in step 4.

Insert a new copy of printupg.inf into the inf folder using the following procedure:

Determine where the correct i386 folder is by double-clicking My Computer on the first screen or in the Start menu, then double-clicking the icon that ends with C: If the i386 folder is not displayed, click the Up or Back arrow at the top of the window, then try any other icons that look exactly like the one already tried, one at a time. If the i386 folder is still not found, insert the Windows or computer manufacturer recovery CD-ROM disc and double-click each icon that looks like a CD-ROM disc one at a time.

Make a note of the path where the folder is found, including the drive letter at the end of the icon name. If folder icons were double-clicked during the search, do not use the i386 folder found after double-clicking the Driver Cache folder. For example, if the i386 folder was found on the recovery CD-ROM disc in drive G: , in folder Archive, the path would beG:\Archive\i386. If the folder was found in the computer's hard drive, the path will probably be C:\i386 . If it was found on the Windows CD-ROM disc inserted in the drive icon ending in M: , the path would be M:\i386

Click Start , then Run

In the Run box, type CMD , then click OK

At the blinking cursor in the black box, type the following statement, where PATH is the actual path determined in step a above and _ is the underscore key, which requires holding the Shift key while pressing the Dash key: EXPAND PATH\printupg.in_ C:\XXX\inf\printupg.inf .

The text that Windows displays in the black box will now indicate if the file was found and expanded or not. If the text includes an error message, type the statement above again at the blinking cursor, checking for accuracy. Ensure that all backslashes and the single blank spacebar key after the underscore (Shift+Dash) are included, and that a full colon is typed after each drive letter.

If another error is displayed, verify that the PATH being typed is correct by referring to step a above, then type the statement again

After the file has been successfully expanded, close the black box. The missing printupg.PNF file will be created by Windows when it is needed.
