HP Laserjet Pro 200 color M251n unresponsive in Sleep Mode

Printer: HP Laserjet Pro 200 color M251n
Firmware: 2014-06-04 , Version 20140521
Problem:
Since the latest Firmware update the printer is unresponsive in Sleep/Standby Mode no Events (all configured to wake up the printer) will wake the printer up. Even to connect via Webinterfac the printer is not responding. Ping also Fails.
Tried to connect the printer to another Printer Switch Port/ wall plug changed network cables nothing worked.
The only solution is to hard reset the printer (power off/on) to get the printer working again.
Played around with the EcoSmart configuration but doesn't matter what is selected there its always the same that the printer stuck in Sleep/standby mode and won't responde.
Is there somewhere the old FIrmware to be downloaded to try a downgrade if this would help?
I really don't think there is anythink else I could try.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

we are on a comany network and I guess our network won't be the problem (cisco switches for our printer lan)
in the meantime we replaced the HP Printer with a small xerox printer as we still have warranty we might give it back to vendor.
I don't think there is any issue related with network settings if none of the wake up events are working.
Bad Firmware I would call it.

  • Ready 2 download error on Laserjet pro 200 color m251n printer

    I have a laserjet pro 200 color m251n printer that suddenly gives "error 2 download" can anyone profer solution on how to clear this error.
     I tried using the firmware downloaded from hp site  but gives "Fatal erro 7 while erasing.
    Please somebody help me. It's very urgent.

    Hi Seun1965,
    I see you are getting an "error 2 download" message and can not complete the firmware update. Please complete the steps in the following document; A 'Firmware Corrupt Ready 2 Download' Error Message Displays on the Control Panel.
    If the issue persists, I recommend calling HP and letting the know the issue as well as the steps you have already completed. It may be helpful to even let them know you completed all of the steps in HP document #c03109721.
    If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
    HP printers generally have a 1 year warranty from their purchase date, you can verify the warranty using the following link if you would like; warranty check. Even if the printer is out of warranty I suggest still calling HP to see if there is something they can do to help. 
    I hope this helps.

  • HP laserjet pro 200 color m251n reset

    Hello, I receved my HP Lasejet Pro 200 m251n yesterday and unfortunately we did not get a good start together. When printing colors, the colors are not aligned. I have printed a few diagnostic pages that just confirm the issue. Reading the forums I found that recalibrating could be helpful. Unfortuately after ~15 recalibrations nothing changed. Some users on other model are reporting that a NVRAM reset could be a solution. Unfortunately I did not find a way to do this on my M251n. Can it be done ? Should I try it ? Or should I send the printer back ?
    Thank you.

    Hi @jbjoret ,
    I see that you are experiencing alignment issues with this printer you just received yesterday. You ran multiple calibrations with the same issue.  I can help you out.
    Print a Diagnostics Page to see if you have the same results. Trying to determine if it is a hardware or software issue.

  • LaserJet Pro 200 color mfp m276 Printing issues

    I have had this printer for about a year now.  Now it has started printing solid black lines across the page I am printing, whether it be from my computer or a fax.  I can run the cleaning process from the printer and its fine for a few hours and then back to the solid black lines.  It gets so bad there is more ink on the paper than white when it does this.  Have tried everything I can think  of to cure this to no avail.  I am running hp cartridges and just plain white paper.  Any ideas as to how to fix this.  These lines are thick lines, just not _____ but are about 1 " wide each.
    I really need help with this really soon or I will have to replace it with another brand.  I use this in my office and can't have important faxes coming across with all these lines so I can't read it.  I posted this Saturday and still waiting for someone to respond.

    Hi @RandallRaley , 
    I understand that when printing, you are getting solid black lines across the paper and now on the back of the paper. You are using HP cartridges, plain paper and have ran the cleanings with the same result. I can help you today.
    Try another type of 20lb -24lb plain paper to see if you have the same results.
    I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
    Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
    Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
    This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
    Update the printer's firmware. HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw Drivers.
    Select your operating system, click next, click the link for firmware.
    Try printing again.
    If the issue persists, follow the steps for aligning and cleaning the toners, printing a Print Quality page, inspecting the toner for damage, checking the paper and driver settings to see if this will resolve the issue.

  • HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw. The fax forwarding feature no longer will forward a fax.

    I am using the HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw.  Is it possible to forward the fax as a email instead of printing it out?  The current fax forwarding feature only supports forwarding to another fax number but not email.  If fax forwarding to email is not support, is there any other solution?
    Albert

    Hi @Albert1024 ,  I understand that you aren't able to forward the faxes. I can help you today.
    You can only forward that faxes from the printer to the fax number.
    Check to make sure the Fax Forwarding didn't get turned off and it is still showing the correct fax number.
    1.  From the Home screen, touch the Fax button.
    2. Touch the Fax Menu button.
    3. Touch the Receive Options button.
    4. Touch the Forward Fax button, and touch the On button.
    5. Use the keypad to enter the fax-forwarding number, and then touch the OK button.
    Turn off the Private Receive.
    1.  From the Home screen, touch the Setup button.
    2. Touch the Fax Setup menu.
    3. Touch the Advanced Setup menu.
    4. Scroll to and touch the Private Receive button, and then touch the Off button.
    Clear out the saved faxes, to make sure this isn't causing any issues.
    Go to Setup on the printer, Services, Fax Service and select Clear Saved Faxes.

  • Hp Laserjet pro 200 color MFP M276nw

    Im having an issue with the installation of the software and the scanning of the printer. When i try to do a full install it goes well up to the part where i have to reconnect to usb port to my computer, at that point the installation starts to go very, very slow. When it get to 99% it gives me a fatal error saying i have to restart my computor and do the process again. i have done it multiple times with no success. I followed by going online and getting the drivers from HP and did the installations individually. I am finally able to print. When i go to scan a documents i only get 3 options on the printer: scan to usb, scan to network and scan to wireless.  I dont have anyother options and i have downloaded the drivers for the scanner. I dont know what to do anymore.
    Thank you

    Hi @HPuser84,
    I will do my best to help you be able to scan with the Laserjet pro 200 color MFP M276nw printer.
    There are only 3 options from the printer to scan to, scanning to PC isn't a option with this model, if you want to scan from the computer, you would have to use the  HP Scan Software on the computer.
    I have provided a document for how to scan through the HP Software and from the printer's control panel.
    Scan from Windows 7 With the Full Feature HP Software for HP LaserJet Multifunction Printers.
    Scan From the Control Panel (Including Scan to Email, to a PDF, and to a Network Folder) for HP Lase...
    If the scanning software and drivers still didn't fully install and you had the fatal error again, uninstall the software.
    Disconnect the USB cable first. Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Then start the installation again, immediately follow the steps in this document after connecting the USB cable please.
    A Fatal Error Displays During Software Installation. Disregard the printer model. This should allow the software to fully install properly.
    Please let me know if you require any additional assistance.
    Have a fantastic day!

  • Issue on borderless printing using android HP ePrint app with HP LaserJet Pro 200 color M251nw

    Hi,
    I am trying to print a pdf document which is of A4 size (11.7 x 8.3 inches without any borders) from android tablet using HP ePrint app along with the printer HP Laserjet Pro 200 color M251nw. When it is printed on A4 sheet, it adds the border on all the sides around 12mm-left, 11mm-right, 8mm-top, 9.5mm-botton margins.
    On the printer the firmware datecode shows 20121026, Also the ePrint app which I am using is latest and upto date.
    Please let me know how to print the borderless print in A4 sheet.
    Regards,
    Jaya

    Hello revlib,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    Turning off the Wireless Direct on the LaserJet Pro 200 color M251nw should have disabled the SSID from broadcasting. Since disabling from the front display did not resolve, let us try from the Embedded Web Server (EWS).
    To access the EWS you need to enter the I.P address for the M251nw into the address bar of your web browser. The I.P address can be collected by touching Setup ()> Reports> Network Summary.
    Once in the EWS, click Network> Wireless Direct Setup> select Off and Apply.
    Let me know if this has help

  • How to Print Envelopes - HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP

    I can't work out how to print envelopes on my HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP.  
    I put the envelope upright (flap down) in the adjustable tray at the very top of the machine (as I have done in almost every printer I've used) and it prints the address on a sheet of paper!  

    Hi goodgrandma ,
    I see by your post that you would also like to know how to print envelopes.
    I will be happy to help you.
    Both the Laserjet m251 and M276 have a main tray only.
    Above the tray is the jam access door to remove paper jams.
    To print on the envelopes, you would need to remove all the paper from the main tray and load the envelopes in the main (bottom) tray, to print to envelopes with these two units.
    If you are using Word Application, click on Tools, select Letters and Mailing/Envelopes and labels, the envelope box will open, in the envelope tab enter your address, click on Options, click the Printing Options tab, you will need to change the Feed from to Auto, it is likely set to Manual.
    What is the full name and product
    number of your printer? How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    Hope this helps.

  • HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276 - not able to print black when any color is empty

    Hi,
    We have 2x HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276n in our office, both have firmware date code 20121026.
    The problem is that when ever one of the colored toner cartridges gets empty it fails to print even black & white documents and freezes in the replace cartridge screen.
    In system supplies settings it is configured to print only black when colored supplies are below very low threshold limit.
    Since the printer is freezing in the warning screen and only powering it off and on helps to bring it back alive, it seems that this is a software or firmware issue. I didnt find any firmware updates for this model though.
    It doesnt make any sense that it is not possible to use the printer at all when only one of colored cartridges is empty. Any thoughts on how to solve this issue are welcome.

    Hi,
    The firmware that you have mentioned is old and the latest version available is
    Version
    20131216
    it is always advisable to update the printer to the latest firmware. Please update the firmware form the given link
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=kj-108130-4&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
