Fax over the network with HP LaserJet 400 ColorMFP M475dw
Hi there, I was trying to send fax over the network with HP LaserJet 400 ColorMFP M475dw, I have connected the printer/scan/fax on a wired network, just have 3 computers on it, all of them can scan or print. But I can't find any option to just FAX from Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat Reader, going to File ---> Print ---> and select M475dw "FAx", I installed the lasted version of the drivers downloaded from hp.com and there's no way to install this multifunction printer as a FAX.
So I can't see the FAX on Printers in the control panel of windows.
I have never got an error message from any computer during the installation process either.
Does anyone has an idea of what to do here?
Thanks ahead.
Thanks for your quick answer, I really appreciate it. But unfortunately, it didn't resolve my problem
Actually any of the workstations after complete the installation (with the last version of drivers downloaded just now from hp.com) can't recognize the HP LaserJet Pro 400 Color MFP M475dw, as a fax. I can print and scan over the network, or connecting the printer with a usb cable. I just can't see the icon "HP LaserJet Pro 400 Color MFP M475dw FAX" in Control Panel ---> Devices and Printers. I did a full installation when I were asked during the installation process... I did then I custom installation and neither of them seems to work to me
This is very strange, it never happened to me with any other models of all-in-on (printer/fax/scanner)

HP LaserJet 400 colorMFP M475dw scan to email problems
Hi all!
I'd very much appreciate a solution to my agony.
We recently purchased a HP LaserJet 400 colorMFP M475dw multifunction printer. Now I'm trying to set it up (browser administration -> Scan --> Outgoing E-mail Profiles) to send scanworks by email but facing following problems:
1. When typed in all the credentials correctly, even the "Test & Save" option takes ages. After cople attempts I got it succesfully tested.
2. Using my personal gmail-accout as sender, the scanning work takes a long time. It stops in connecting smtp server phase for quite a long time before even starting the actual scan.
3. Using the company's newly created email accounts as sender, it takes even longer. I just timed it to take 6 minutes and 23 seconds before it started the actual scanning.
4. Now it seems to send the scan ok, but with some of the first attempts it failed with some general error message asking to try again.
In my opinion the time it takes is totally unacceptable. Is this some known issue and is there a workaround?
Our company emails run on MS Office 365 and I'm using smtp.office365.com as the smtp server, port 587 and SSL/TLS checked (tried unchecked too). As I said with Gmail it might not be as slow but still very very very slow.
Please help?
This question was solved.
View Solution.I also wanted to know if a HP M575f MFP is able to scan-to-email to MS Office 365 before buying the printer.
Because I didnt find reliable information in the internet, I contacted HP Germany.
Today they told me that HP printers don't support Office 365. The original wording was:
'Allerdings wird Office 365 nicht von unseren HP Druckern unterstützt.'
So far my present knowledge. -

Cannot print to HP LaserJet 400 colorMFP M475dw after updating OS
I'm running a 2013 Macbook Pro, 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, OS version 10.9.4 (updated to this OS version 5 days ago, on July 2nd). For a little less than a year I've been printing to a HP LaserJet 400 Color MFP M475dw via wireless connection. A few weeks ago I began to have numerous "printer is not connected" events, and it reached the point I could not print anything - from my MacBook, my iPad Air, or my iPhone 5S. I discovered there was an updated printer driver on HP's website, specifically for OS 10.9. Downloaded and installed it, and the problem was seemingly solved.
Then I updated the OS to 10.9.4. AARRRRGH!!!!!! For the last 5 days, the printer will - sometimes - print the first document in a queue of 2 or more and then, while the printer is still "running," tell me the printer is not connected. I turn the printer off and back on, get one print job, then have to repeat the process. Here are all the things I've tried to resolve the issue:
Verified settings on the printer to make sure everything is set up properly
Restarted Airport Extreme, printer, and MacBook (multiple times) -- clarification: I turned off both the MacBook and the printer, then unplugged Airport for a few minutes, replugged it, restarted the printer, then restarted the MacBook
Reset the printing system (as suggested elsewhere in the Support forums), which basically removes all printers from the MacBook, then lets you add back those that you want - presumably with the most current driver(s).
Searched help/support forums on Apple, HP, and the internet in general
Found a firmware update for the printer on HP's website -- but it is not compatible with OS 10.9 (only goes up through 10.8). I downloaded it and tried, even though 10.9 was not listed, and the "app" wouldn't even open.
All of these efforts have been to no avail. The problem persists, and I'm at my wit's end how to solve it. HELP, please..........anyone??????I also wanted to know if a HP M575f MFP is able to scan-to-email to MS Office 365 before buying the printer.

Photo sharing (over the network with Bonjour) doesnt support Events!
Hi,
When i use iPhoto '08 it can't share the new events groups..
I have to place them in a album to few them on other computers. Otherwise i have i have to scroll down through many albums to find the desired picutres. Why split them in events then?
Please add this feature!!
I do like the new events feature in iPhoto '08, so this should be supported when doing a network share with other iPhoto '08.
Thnx in advance!

HP Laserjet M1132 MFP is too slow over the network!
Hi,
My HP Laserjet M1132 MFP is too slow over the network!
I have connect the printer to a windows XP 32bit SP3 using UBS port. The printer works fine on the local computer but when sharing it over the network it works too slow, for example with print test page it takes about 45 seconds to print and for other documents it takes much longer time.
I have installed the latest driver form HP website and upgrade the firmware it the latest version.
It happens on other Windows XP machines as well.
I connected the printer to my laptop (Windows 7 64bit) and it works fine (No delays over the network) and it seems that this problem have some relations with the windows XP Driver.
I have used local port trick on remote machines (instead of regular method) like this:
''add a local printer;
'new port'
'localport'
\\XPcomputer\HPPrinterName as port name
but still nothing!
There is nothing wrong with the network, we use to use a Samsung printer on the same machines over the network with no problem.
I Really appreciate your HELP!
This question was solved.
View Solution.BEHZAD_T, how is the printer connected to the network (wireless or Ethernet)? If it is slow wirelessly, I would suggest trying to connect the printer to your router with the Ethernet cord and install it to the networked computer that way.
Another question is, relatively speaking, how close to your router are the Samsung printer and the HP printer? Depending on the distance (and what stands between the devices) there can be a lag between sending a print job and it being received by the printer.
Let me know! -
I am sharing my macbook pro over a network with windows 7, however through windows 7 I can access my whole computer instead of just the shared files!
Hi Sig,
The issue is that i only want the shared folders to be accessed through windows 7.
Whats the point otherwise to have shared folders?
thanks.. -
Hi!
I have a WD my book external hard drive plugged into my imac and I want to share it over my network with my apple tv. I went into system preferences > sharing, checked "file sharing" and added my external hard drive to the shared folder. So now it is listed in "shared folders" but under "users" everything is grayed out (it says "read and write" for "everyone" - but "read and write" is grayed out, and it doesn't let me add or subtract users). Now I can access all of the folders I shared from my imac except for the externalhard drive. What's going on?Hi RRFS!,thanks for help.I forgot to tell that hard drive has 2 partitions 1:format :Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and that works properly,2:format:MS-DOS (FAT32) and when i "get info" for both :first has shering & permitions:You can read and write - with name and privilege, second has shaing & prermissions:You can read and write- without name and privilege

error -43 when try playback on win7 64bits over the network QT that recide MacPro osx 10.5 however i can play with VLC player, This happend when the QT is inside a Folder with name longer 8 chars other files has no problem with long names just the QT nfs sharing
Never mind, I already found the solution myself.
What I did wrong was:
- not copying the master image to the nbi folder
- selecting the netinstall-restore.dmg image as source to copy to my HD.
The thing is, when you create a netinstall image for 10.5, the image itself is already included in the netinstall image so you don't have to do anything else.
With the 10.4 image however, you also have to copy the master image to the NetBootSP0 directory.
In the *.nbi folder contains an netinstall-restore.dmg file. But that is only to boot you to netrestore, it's not the image itself.
Other alternative is to copy the images to another folder that you share with AFP and adjust the configuration of netrestore like described in this manual:
http://www.shellharbourd.det.nsw.edu.au/pdf/misc/osxrestoringnet.pdf
This manual was also how I figured out that I forgot to copy the image to the NetBootSP0 folder. -
Printer HP Envy 4500 Series cannot be contacted over the network
My wireless printing chooses when it wants to work, and right now it's really acting up. It is connected wirelessly, it is the default printer, but after troubleshooting it is telling me "Printer HP Envy 4500 Series cannot be contacted over the network." What can I do to get printing again?
Hello featherfamily,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with the printer not connecting with a wireless connection.
Please click on the following link that deals with when the 'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the Printer Does Not Print: Windows 7.
Please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
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: click here.

Unable to print to USB printer over the network
Hi all,
I have an iMac and an Macbook Air, both running 10.6.4, and I've got an HP LaserJet 1200 printer connected to the iMac by USB. Both machines are on my home wireless network (Linksys, FWIW).
I seem to be unable to print to the LaserJet over the network from my Air. I've tried all manner of permutations of printer setup on the Air: IPP/LPD/HP JetDirect; entering the hostname (*.local) and the IP address of the host; leaving the queue blank and not; and leaving "Print Using" as generic vs selecting the LaserJet drivers. The printers appear in the "Default" Add Printer menu as Bonjour Shared, but this doesn't seem to work either.
Following other threads, I've tooled around with CUPS (resetting the configuration file, etc.), with no success. The other threads I've found on the subject seem to be more specifically addressed to folks trying to use an AirPort.
Any suggestions for what to try next?In that case, let me elaborate on what happens when I try to set up the printer via Bonjour, in case there are any clues in the behavior that I'm seeing. The printer seems to appear twice in the "Default" pane, with Kind as 'Bonjour Shared' and Printer Names as follows:
HP LaserJet 1200 @ (hostname)
HP LaserJet 1200 @ (hostname) @ (hostname)
Selecting the first, it displays "Gathering printer information..." for a few minutes, then strikes out, suggesting Generic PostScript Printer rather than the correct driver. Whether I stick with that or select the correct driver manually and then try to print, it hangs on 'Copying print data..." (in the print queue).
Selecting the second, it gathers printer information only for a second or two before settling on Generic PostScript Printer. If I stick with Generic PostScript Printer, it hangs on 'Connected to printer...' but if I select the correct driver, it hangs on 'Copying print data...' again. -
HP Software finds the printer, but then "the printer was unable to be installed over the network"
I have tried to search for a similar issue, but haven't had any success yet. I doubt I'm the first with this problem!
The computer is XP SP3, the printer is Deskjet 3050A, and it's a WPA-PSK WiFi.
The printer confirms that it is connected to the WiFi.
When I run the setup tool on the computer, at the Network Check point, the setup software finds the printer at the correct IP address. It is the only thing it discovers.
I click next, ànd after a minute or two, I get the error "the printer was unable to be installed over the wireless network" Click Retry to try installing the printer over the network again, or click Cancel to return to the connection options.
This just cycles with no progress. I have turned off the Windows Firewall and also disabled the AV. No change.
I can browse to the web interface of the printer - but still can't install the printer. It is listed in the Printers and Faxes as being Offline.
I'll try once again removing it, and re-adding it - but has anyone come across this problem before, please?
This question was solved.
View Solution.I am having a similar problem as well. The printer is recognized (most of the time) when I run the HP Network DIagnostic Utility. However, when I run the Add a Device setup program to install my wireless printer, it is NEVER recognized. I have even tried to use the advvanced serach to locate it using the IP listed in the Diagnostic Utility without any luck. As an aside, I was able to add the printer through windows just fine and am currently able to print to it, but would really like to add it using the HP installation so that I can configure the "scan to" settings again.
To make matters worse, I no longer have the USB cord that came with the printer because the device has been connected wirelessly for over a year now with minimal issues. Any help getting this brick back online and connected to my network would be much appreciated! -

Pinging a printer to see if it works over the network
I've been printing from a Windows 7 computer to a PSC C6180 over a wireless network. All of a sudden it stopped printing. I don't if a power surge or something blew some stuff out (the fax part is already gone) or if it is something else.
I removed the printer and removed the installed software in order to put it back in its "initial state."
Before I removed the software, I tried to add a network printer to see if that would do it. At the point in the process where it looks for printers, it didn't find it. It makes me wonder if it will work over the network at all, but I do note the blue 802.11g LED is lit.
Before I reinstall the software (AIO_CDA_FSW_Full_Win_WW.130_140.exe is what I have) I want to ping the printer and see if the computer can see it. What's the ping address?Hello ErnieLane,
Please follow steps 1-4 described in Access the Embedded Web Server to print a configuration page, it will contain the current IP address (if any).
Hope this will help.
