Color Laserjet Pro 100 (M175NW) looses wireless connection

Hi,
the printer goes offline from the local wlan after working ok 12 to 24 hrs.
symptoms:
* wireless LED on the printer blinking after waking the printer with the ok button
* wireless status page: not connected
* wireless status page: no wireless lans are found (minimum four others are active)
* wireless status page: always 69-71 disconnects (link quality is good, distance from router 5m)
* wireless lan switched off-on from printer panel: wireless led stays off, no blinking
my tests:
* no difference with/without power save mode
* no difference using router from TP-Link or Arcadyan
* no difference using no/standard/long group key interval on the router
* no difference using only ip4/all services on the printer
* no difference enabling/disabling ip6 on the printer
* no difference printing/not printing during 24 hrs
* no difference using channel 1/7 on the wlan (no other networks on these channels)
workaround:
printer off - on, everthing back to normal, but I am not happy with that
My settings
* printer firmware new: Version:20120806
* static ip
* wpa2-personal aes
* windows vista all patches installed
* current hp printer driver
* wlan settings transferred via usb during standard install
my guess:
buggy firmware or defective network card in the printer
Any ideas? Device is on warranty...

Printer does not maintain wireless connection.

HP LaserJet Pro 100 - scans only from tray, won't scan from adf

Hi
I am having issues with my HP LaserJet Pro 100.
I load the adf and upen the scan dialog however when I click scan, it will scan from the tray every time. I have cleaned the rollers and checked the paper. I have ran scan doctor and it doesn't notice a problem as it doesn't check the adf.
There is no error message as it just keeps scanning from the tray even when it is empty and the adf is loaded.
I have reinstalled the product and tried again but we still cannot scan from the adf.
I have read several threads which have mispick issues and many threads relating to issue with this particular product yet the help centre IM chat support doesn't have anyone who can assist with this product which i find odd. It doesn't need servicing yet as it isn't very old.
Please can anyone provide a solution to the problem?
Thanks

Hi hayleymariec,
I see that you are unable to scan from the ADF. I can help you.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector)
I have provided a document for cleaning the ADF rollers and the separator pad, just to make sure these are the areas you cleaned previously, since you mentioned you already cleaned the rollers.
'Document feeder mispick' Message Displays on the Control Panel and the ADF Does Not Pick Up Paper o...
Disregard the title. Both models are pretty similiar for the ADF.
You must have the Laserjet Pro 100 M175nw.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
If the issue persists, I would recommend to call HP Tech Support and inquire about a replacement printer, since you are still in warranty. Call 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region please click the link below to get the support number for your region. Contact HP Worldwide.

HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw does not connect to wireless network

I recently upgraded my wireless network router. I had my HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw connected to the old wireless network router. The SSID is password protected (WPA2)
I need to connect the printer to the new wireless network router. However, neither the control panel nor blue wireless connection button provide any way for me to do this. The manual has not walked through a way to do this.
There really needs to be a simple, no-nonsense way to just connect the printer to the wireless network. How do I connect this printer to a new wireless network?

Hi @shakayumi ,
I see that you are having issues configuring the printer on the new router. I would like to help.
Restore the printer's network defaults.
Touch the Setup button. (wrench)
Select Network Setup Menu.
Then select Restore Defaults.
Print out a configuration report to make sure the IP address is 0.0.0.0 and the SSID is cleared.
Printing a Configuration Report.
Here are the directions for setting up the printer through the Wireless Direct to configure the printer over the network as Infrastructure.
Turn the Wireless Direct on the printer.
On the printer touch the setup button, (wrench) then select network setup menu, select wireless menu, select wireless direct and turn it on.
On the computer, in the bottom right corner click on the wireless icon and select the printer from the list to connect to. Then open Internet Explorer and type in the IP address (192.168.223.1) for the printer in the address bar.
This will load the embedded web server for the printer.
Select the networking tab, wireless on the left hand side.
Fill out all your network information, select infrastructure, select your network name, put in password and type of encryption. Apply settings.
Click on the wireless icon and connect back to your network name.
Print out a configuration report to make sure the IP address is valid. (192... or 10....)
Now create a new port, this will save you the time, instead of uninstalling and reinstalling the software.
Go to Start, Devices and Printers, right click the printer, go to Printer Properties, select the Ports tab.
Click Add Port, select Standard TCP/IP Port, then select New Port and follow the wizard.
Type in the proper IP address for the printer.
Make sure the printer is online.
Test the printer.
If you are still having issues, then try this method:
If you have a Ethernet cable, connect it from the printer to the router.
Wait about a minute, print the configuration page to see if you get a IP address.
Then type the IP address into Internet Explorer's address bar to bring up the printer's web page.
Select the networking tab, wireless on the left hand side.
Fill out all your network information, select infrastructure, select your network name, put in password and type of encryption. Apply settings.
Then disconnect the Ethernet cable.
Then wait a minute to see if you get a wireless light on the printer, print the configuration page and check the IP address again. Then type the IP address into Internet Explorer's address bar to bring up the printer's web page.
If the printer is back on the network, create a new port. Steps are listed above.
Make sure the printer is online.
Try and print now.

Have a great day!

HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw unable to communicate with product

Hi guys,
I've had a HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw for 12months now and it has worked great over my wireless network. I recently upgraded from router from a 5 year old single band router to a late model dualband wireless N router.
Since i did this my HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw was unable to reconnect to my new network.
I have uninstalled the drivers and have tried reinstalling the drivers but each time (after I select Connect the Product/Coonect through wireless network, have tried both Yes retrieve the wirelss settings on my computer and No I will enter the wirelss settings manually) but no matter which I select the printer is installed successfully but then gets stuck at 15% and says cannont communicate with the product.
I have disabled my firewall during the installation and have only used the USB cable when the installation has asked me to do so.
The printer is visible in control panel but each time I do a test print or send something to the printer in the sys tray the print job is shown but nothing ever happens.
The installation will work fine if I install it via the directly connect to the computer using USB option.
If I do a test print fromt he printer itself by going into the network setting, network test it prints a page that says:
Wireless On Pass
Wirelss Working Pass
Network Name SSID Found Fail
Security Fail
Your HP printer cannot find your wirelss router. The WPA authentification method on your HP has changed fromt he default setting.
Is there anyway I can edit the SSID network name and password without having to do this install process?
This is really frustrating. Just spent 3 hours with HP support which got me know where (they were reading the script the supplied me) and then when I rebooted and went to go back to online chat support the website tells me their support is only available during business hours!
Any help would be great

OK time to back up totally. I need to make sure you are following the instructions in the user guide to install this printer. Please start from scratch by uninstalling all software from your computer and outline every step to make sure it is correct.
You have to use the USB cable to set up the wireless connection.
Go here for the User Guide and all installation info. Get your drivers and troubleshooting info here too.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/manualCategory?cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=5076465
The reason we have to start over is that you started the software installation when you changed your router. You don't have to do this, but now we do.

HP Laserjet Pro 100 Color MFP M175nw installation issue

Hello,
I have a problem installing my HP Laserjet Pro 100 Color MFP M175nw wirelessly. Back in time when I first installed it, it took me a few installations, but suddenly it was installed. Now after a lot of tries, I still get stuck at the part where the USB cable have to be used to pass the network details to the printer. It get stuck at 15% and after a while it gives the error that I have to connect my printer, although it is plugged and the installation initially continued.
When I put my cable, Win7 is also itself installing the printer, can that be the issue?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Want to print remotely to my HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw

Hello! I have a
HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw printer in my office. It is connected to my wifi network from the office and i can use it from several laptops from office with no issue.
Now i want to be able to print and scan papers from my home pc also which is connected to my home wifi network.
I found there it is possible to print pages over internet. Except hpeprint option, how can i add printer from office to printer list from my home pc.
Please help me.
Thanks!

Hi Tolick,
Thank you becoming a member of the HP Support community. I understand that you have an HP Laserjet 100 at your office and you would like to be able to print to it when you are at home.
Super_Dave is correct with the solution he gave you. I just wonder if you have set up the ePrint feature of your Laserjet yet and customized the ePrint email address? If you have then using the ePrint software that you installed on your laptop should allow you to print to your office printer from home. The instructions on how to do this are in the HP ePrint Software User Guide on page 16 in the section titled "Use HP ePrint (Windows)".
If you haven't set up the ePrint feature of the printer I have included a two documents for your reference. The first one is how to get the claim code and the second is how to setup the customized ePrint email address. This may the step that is missing to make the ePrint software work for you.

HP Laserjet Pro 100 Color MFP M175nw Print missing/faded down centre of every page

HP Laserjet Pro 100 Color MFP M175nw. Operating on Windows 7 from my laptop wirelessly. Just bought this new a few day's ago and each page of print has about 20mm wide streak missing print running down the centre. what can I do to correct this problem? I have tried printing a cleaning page a couple of times and calibrating color from the Print Quality Menu also a couple of times but this has made no difference. I'm using a Premium quality paper for use in laserjet printer's. Could someone please advise me what I can do. Thanks in anticipation.
This question was solved.

Hi Watcher35,
I see that the new Laserjet Pro 100 MFP M175NW is missing print down the center of the pages, you have ran cleaning and color calibration but the issue is not resolved.
Would this be an accurate example of the issue: but with the "Bb" would be completely missing?
This HP document: Resolving Print Quality Issues may take you though some of the same steps you have already done, I suggest not skipping any steps.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here.

HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw error

i have HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw installed on print server.
sometimes if the printer restart the hostname will back to default hostname setting and need to reconfigure again.
if anyone has ever experienced something similar? or could help for this problem?

Hi tehdjie
I am not completely familiar with his server, this is the consumer support.
I would recommend an uninstall/reinstall of the full feature software for 2003 and a firmware update for the printer. I included the link for the software and the firmware update.

LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw

I am trying to load the driver for my LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw on my new laptop. It is very slow and after about 10 minutes times out at 99% and says it is a fatal error. I have restarted the PC several times and always with the same result. It loaded on to my old Windows 7 PC immediately. This new PC is WIndows 8.1 64 bit and that is what I chose when beginning the download.

Trouble initializing color laserjet Pro MFP M177fw wireless connection

color laserjet Pro MFP M177fw - Printer was working for several months, now it will not print and when you power cycle it just shows initializing... but never finishes. Using wireless network connection to a Windows 7 pc.

Hello,
I have provided the URL for doing a firmware update on the printer, but do it through a USB connection. Since the printer is in a error state though, it might not detect the printer to do the update. HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw.
Select your operating system, click Submit, click the link for firmware and then click on the Download button.
I have provided some steps to try to see if we can resolve this issue.
Disconnect the USB/Network/FAX and power the printer on Standalone.
Check and remove any packaging material inside the printer and toner.
Do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue, if you haven't already.
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.
If the issue persists, perform a power drain by disconnecting the power cord from the back of the printer and keeping the power button pressed for 30 seconds and in case of a power switch keep the switch in ON position for 30 seconds before reconnecting the power chord.
I can send a private message with some another step to try.
In the forum beside your handle name just click on the envelope to view it.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
What operating system are you using?
Please let me know the outcome.
Have a nice day!

Laserjet pro 100 color mfp m175

We have a number of HP LaserJet Pro 100 Color MFP M175's in our school. They are connected to the network via ethernet cable rather than wirelessly. A number of users print to them either from a Windows XP (running service pack 2) desktop or from a Windows 7 (newly built) laptop. They were working fine for a few days and then all of a sudden they may have any of the following problems:
unsupported personality error printed at the top of a lot of pages (ie you may try and print one page but hundreds of pages come out with this error).
there may be an invalid driver error on the control panel on the printer
there may be weird alien-looking characters at the top of hundreds of blank pages
initially all of the printers had the driver installed that came with the printers, when we started getting the error, we then tried running the diagnostics doctor on the hp web site, which said all the drivers were valid. We have also tried using the universal print driver from the HP support website, but still get the problem after a few days. We can make all of the errors go away by re-installing any of the above drivers, but then the problem starts happening again after a few days. The server is Windows 2003R2 running service pack 2, we have tried installing the drivers on the server too, but they won't install. Another printer was set up this week in the school office which only has people printing from Windows 7 machines and doesn't have the error - this could be because it's too soon to happen yet, or maybe because there are no Windows XP machines printing to it? (It does print through the same server as the others) Help would be greatly appreciated, we are a school and so can't afford to be wasting lots of paper, plus this is taking up all of our time rather than fixing other issues! thanks in advance

Tammy, sounds like there could be a couple things that might cause this issue. The first of which is that the RJ45 cable you are using to connect the printer might have become corrupted. I would replace that cord and see if the issue remains.
Second, I want you to see about updating the firmware from this website :
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=5076465
If that still presents issues, you can use that same website to download the more recent drivers. I would uninstall the old version you have on the computer and then open that link and install the full feature software.
Let me know how that goes and I will get right back with you!
I hope you are having a wonderful week, and I hope that the weather where you are located is as beautiful there as it is here!
-Spencer
