You dont need to have USB or wireless connection to remove cartridge. Turn the printer off and on. Open the front access door. The Carriage ( that holds the cartridges ) will move to center and you can remove it. If you are unable to remove the cartridge when the printer is on, Turn if off, Open the Carriage access door and move the carriage manually and remove it.Regards,Sean
Printer keep restarting. c6180 hp photosmart
Apparently some defective components were used in the construction of the logic board (see photo). On my C6180 there were 3 failed capacitors (the green cylinders - the puffed top indicates failure) and a 4th from the same manufacturer (TEAPO - many unfavorable web references to this manufacturer). I purchased 3x 330uF 16V and 1x 680uF 10v rated to 105 degrees Celsius (total about 60cents). On the logic board, the capacitors I replaced are labeled C613, C614, C660 and C662. If you are not comfortable replacing the parts yourself (or don't have a soldering tool), you will have to find someone who will. The time to repair should be less than 30 min - I did it in 25 min with only a solder pen. This also fixed the ink system failures the printer was having. A similar fix may apply to other printers produced by HP around this time.

My Hp c6180 printer has error masage " Improper shut down"
I had the same problem. Try shutting it down by holding the off button and unplugging it for a few seconds from the back of the printer. Wait a couple of minutes and them plug it back in. Make sure you are connect to a wall outlet and not a power strip or surge protector.
If this doesn't work, hold down the #6 key while cord back from the printer.
Hopefully one of these two would work.
If it doesn't you can go to the HP site and start a chat with a tech who will walk you through a solution.
I had the same problem, and got resolved.
