Laserjet 200 color M251 cannot connect to ePrint service

The printer is installed successfully to my home network wirelessly and I am able to print from my wireless laptop. When I have tried to enable the ePrint it fails to connect. My first try was by using my browser to go to the printer's IP address. On the "Web Services Setup" page I clicked the Enable button and waited. It failed to print the Information Sheet that the instructions indicated. So I went to the printer's touch screen and tried to print it from there. That produced the error message "Connection error: 500..." indicating it could not connect to the service. I then shut off both my PC' firewall and my router's firewall and retried. No joy. All the PCs and my Iomega NAS have no issues with connecting to the Internet so I cannot think of why the printer should have a problem.
I'd appreciate any advice on how to proceed.

@Old60sHippie
Okay something is wrong here because resetting the printer should not have required you to reinstall the software on your PC. So I am a little puzzled at that on one. What version of the software did the cd install? You can find this out by going to printer properties and the about tab. If you don't have the following version: Version 61.117.01.1530. Then I would definately consider uninstalling your current software and updating to this one.
Now to wireless direct - this is not required for web services but if you turn it on you will be able to print directly from your mobile device to your printer. If using this method you will have no access to the internet. If using this method for printing, remember to hook back into your wi-fi for other services.
Again, I would encourage you to update your software driver/installer before going any further.

Now back to the other issue of connecting to web services, I have tested this repeated this morning and have been able to successfully disable and re-enable web services with the information sheet printing out. The only difference in our set up in mine is networked. So if you don't mind and have the capibility, try networking your printer, see if you can connect to web services then set up the wireless connection. A little clunky but our goal is to get you connected...

Laserjet 200 color m251 won't print in office picture manager

Windows 7 pro, service pack 1. HP laserjet 200 color m251 pcl6 will not print in office picture manager or photo viewer. will print using quick time.
any suggestions?

Hello BrokerDen.
I understand your Laserjet 200 printer is unable to print from office picture manager or photo viewer. Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall these programs to see if this resolves your issue?
Something else you can try is applying an alternate print driver that could be compatible with your programs. Please follow these instructions in this thread.
How is this printer connected? Wireless or USB.
Let me know if this resolves your issue.
Looking forward to hear from you.

Laserjet 200 color m251 install failed

I cannot get my LaserJet 200 Color M251 software to install. The first install screen gets to 100% and then instantly jumps to an Error message with no error code. I'm running Windows 7 (64bit) and successfully installed this on another computer runnning the same. I've tried restarting, checked that spooler is running and everything I can think of short of reinstalling Windows. Any help?

I'm having this same problem with the same screen popping up at 91% installation progress. I'm running Windows 8.1 64 bit. I've tried both the CD and the downloaded version with the same results. I did originally have it installed from the CD, but the printer was always indicating that it was offline, but I could print from my other laptop (Windows 7). That's when I went to HP online and used the downloaded program. When I ran it, it deleted the version I had already installed. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

HP Color Laserjet PRO MFP M177FW Cannot connect to web services

I bought a HP Color Laserjet PRO MFP M177FW today and I set up it. It can print and scan over wireless network. However, It cannot connect to web services correctly. I set the DNS numbers with google DNS addresses. I changed its IP address with manually. The IP address is unique. Normally It doesn't enable/remove webservices. But when I restart it, it can do for few minutes. It can take an e-mail address but It doesn't print any information sheet. When I try to print a sheet It says "Connection Problem" at first few minutes and later it says "Connecting"and it waits, there is no error message. What am I suppossed to do? Please help me.

HP LaserJet 200 color MFP M276nw - cannot connect

Hello,
Installed a HP LaserJet 200 color MFP M276nw on a Windows 7 system with no issues. Then added the "device" / printer on two Windows tablets, with no issues. I was able to print from all three devices. The tablets cannot 'find' the printer.
I then added the printer to another Windows 7 system and now cannot connect from the other systems. I am still able to print from the second Windows 7 system. (I removed the printer from the second Windows 7 system and readded it without issue, and ensured Share the Printer was selected).
Please advise. Should I just return the printer?

Laserjet Color MFP M276nw Cannot connect to Web Services, tried every suggestion on forum

I've tried every suggestion possible on the forum. I opened up all ports suggested by HP support on my Belkin wireless N600 router. Changed DMZ to IP address on printer. We even directly wired ethernet to printer, still cannot connect to Web Services. Now I have to wait till April 4 for a engineer to call me back. Everything else is working fine. I can print wirelessly from my laptop & smartphone. Just cannot access Web Services, oh & firmware is up to date on printer & router. We changed DNS settings to 8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4.
This question was solved.

It sounds like you have done everything to connect the web services. Web services will not connect if you are on a guest network but if you are connected via ethernet it should be on the right band. What is the printer's IP address? Sometimes it can be too high. Is this for a company that has a proxy on the network? How far away is the printer from the router? Are there any metal shelves, wireless devices or anything else near the printer or between the printer and the router? Check that the router is on Channel 11.
--Printer Does Not Connect To Web Services--
Have you heard back from the engineer? I am anxious to know how it went. I am happy to help if they don't, otherwise keep me posted on what happens. I possibly have one more step for you.

LaserJet 200 color MFP printer - one laptop can print while the other laptop at home can't.

My boyfriend and I set up the LaserJet 200 color MFP printer at home and installed the software on both our laptops. I have a Dell Inspiron 700m and he's got the Lenovo T400. I have been able to print any time from my laptop, but my boyfriend has only been able to print one document and after that there is a printer error and is not able to print nor troubleshoot. I uninstalled and re-installed the software one more time, and again, he was only able to print one document and after that, printer error again (does not specify error). Meanwhile, I continue to be able to print without a problem. Anything I may be overlooking? Any help will be appreciated.

What OS are you using?
Which of the LaserJet 200 series printers do you have? There are several in that series and I want to make sure I'm helping with the right one.

Laserjet 200 color

I have a Laserjet 200 Color printer. I have replaced the ink cartridges but I still get skips in the printing. There is no rhyme or reason as the area that is missing ink varies. Any suggestions to clear up the problem or do I need a new printer?

Hi @mbrooks11,
I see that you are having issues with the ink missing on the print outs. I can help you, but I will need some more information so I can provide the proper steps to try and resolve this issue.
I would suggest to run a cleaning and a calibration on the printer.
What is the full name and product number of your printer? How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
What operating system are you using? How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
Are you using Genuine HP Toner?
What are the toner levels?
Have a nice day!

HP LaserJet 200 Color M251NW

Hey Yall, I've been searching and watching videos, but it seems like my problem is more complex than it should be.
I just purchased a LaserJet 200 Color M251nw and I use a Macbook runnining on Mavericks OSx (10.9.2)
Two-Sided Printing is why I purchased it, besides it being a good deal and having Laser Technology..
PROBLEM: I can't seem to ENABLE double-sided printing. I have installed latest drivers, and here's the kicker, there is no "driver" tab for my printer to allow me to "checkbox" Duplex Printing that I have been seeing on other support pages. The only TABS i see are the Utility and General. I've seen the Driver tab for previously owned printers but not this one.
PLEASE help!!!

Hi HDRogerMartin,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I understand you would like to know how to set the two-sided printing.
I will be happy to help you.
This information is provided by the Manual on page 38.

Print on both sides (Mac OS X)
1. Insert enough paper into one of the trays to accommodate the print job.
2. On the File menu, click the Print option.
3. Open the Finishing menu, and click the Manual Duplex tab or open the Manual Duplex menu.
4. Click the Manual Duplex box, and select a binding option.
5. Click the Print button. Follow the instructions in the pop-up window that appears on the computer
screen before replacing the output stack in Tray 1 for printing the second half.
6. Go to the product, and remove any blank paper that is in Tray 1.
7. Insert the printed stack face-up with the bottom edge feeding into the printer first in Tray 1.
8. If prompted, press the appropriate control-panel button to continue.
You can also set this as a preset.
Create a printing preset for Mac.
1.On the File menu, click the Print option.
2.Select the driver.
3.Select the print settings that you want to save for reuse.
4.In the Presets menu, click the Save As… option, and type a name for the preset.

HP LaserJet 200 color M251nw prints, but images are blurred.

Laserjet200 (HP LaserJet 200 color M251nw) prints, but images are blurred; sometimes the entire page and other times just the right half. Staples tech said the drum could be bad. Can this be corrected? Using W7 ultimate OS.

Hi @jimmanning ,
I see by your post that the images are blurred. I would like to help you.
Run a calibration on the printer.
On the printer touch the wrench, system setup, print quality, color calibration calibrate now.
Print a Diagnostics Page to see if you have the same results. Trying to determine if it is a hardware or software issue.
Go to Setup, Reports, arrow down and select Diagnostics Report.
I have provided a document with more steps for running a cleaning and checking print driver settings.
Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues.
Remove the toner and check to see if there is any toner on drum.
Make sure the paper type is selected to the media that you are using, not the default setting unspecified.
Please provide the following information so I can assist you better.
What were the results of Diagnostics Page and Print Quality Page?
Are you using Genuine HP Toner?
What are the Ink levels?
Was there any damage on the toners?
Have a nice day!

BPC 7.0 Server Installation Problem - Cannot connect to reporting services

I am upgrading from 5.1 to 7.0 version for SAP BPC. Everything went smooth on the development server (single instance installation including SQL Server 2005 developers edition 32bit, web, reporting and application services on the same server). I tried to repeat the same process on the test server, and the installation went off the rails. I started with clean installations of SQL Server 2005 on both servers.
When I try to install the BPC server software, I get to the point of access to the report server, and everything stops. I get the following message: Cannot connect to reporting services. I have verified the reporting server name, and I have verified that the server name is correct in the installation panel. I have also verified that the reporting server is configured, started, and that there are no errors.
Any advice?

Hi Sorin,
Thanks for the tip, but this was not the case. The problem was solved by re-loading the OS. Using Windows Server 2003 gave an issue during the re-installation of the SQL Server database. The problem was in the installation itself. After a clean install of both the OS and SQL Server, then SAP BPC 7 worked. The installation does require a number of tweaks, particularly, in my case, the entire Management console must be configured, even if not being used.
This problem is now solved.

Cannot connect to the Service Manager portal WCF service - Error when opening SM Portal

Greetings,
I have tried everything I can think of to resolve this issue and I have tried all suggestions I have found on Technet.
Basically, I had the SM Portal working on a test VM. I am ready to use it in production but it is not working. I deleted my test VM and built a new one. On it, I have SharePoint 2010 Foundation and the SM Portal installed. I have
a valid self-signed cert. the FQDN is correct (hqsrva24.dds.local) in both SharePoint and also in IIS. I also made sure under Application Settings on the SM Portal IIS site points to the FQDN of the SCSMWebContentServer.
So what happens when I go to the SM Portal (https://hqsrva24.dds.local:444/SMPortal) is it prompts me for a logon, which i put in and the site comes up. But at that point the Silverlight portion is not loaded and I immediately get prompted for a logon.
I have tried several different logons, all of which have full access to the site in Sharepoint. Eventually I get the error in red at the bottom of the screen "Cannot connect to the Service Manager portal WCF service"
If I try to access the Web Content Server service on its own (https://hqsrva24.dds.local/Servicehost/services/DataAccessService.svc), I get a prompt to logon and none of my logons work. i eventually get
an unauthorized error. However; If I log into the server which SM Portal is on and go to https://localhost/Servicehost/services/DataAccessService.svc, I get no prompt to login and I get a "Metapublishing for this service is currently disabled."
I'm out of ideas at this point, barring completely starting over (not just the SM portal but all of the Service Manager Suite).

Man I've had this problem so many times and its almost always a different solution. Are you sure that either the Domain Users group or NT Authority\Authenticated Users have permissions to the site and service. remember the the two prompts are authenticating
different things: the Sharepoint site and the application site (silverlight). Make sure users have permission in both SCSM and in Sharepoint.
