HP Laserjet 100 color MFP installation problem

Hi,
I have a problem with driver instalation for HP Laserjet 100 color MFP175nw. Instalation stalls at 85% and I get error message. I've tried to turn off processes through services.msc, deatcivate firewall and nothing helps.
Basically, I've tried almost everything...please help .

Hi @Steryn,
I understand that the installation stops at 85% and you get a error. I can help you with this.
Sorry I can't read the error from the screen shot. Please let me know what the error shows.
I have provided a document with some steps to try to see if that will resolve the issue.
A 'Fatal Error' (MSI error) Displays on the Computer During HP Software Installation in Windows.
If you don't have a error code, go to No, my error message does not include a numbered code
Step 2: Find the error code in the Event Viewer.
What is the error code?
I would disable all the start up programs and temporarily turn off the Antivirus Software. How to use MSCONFIG .
Click on the start up tab and click disable all.
Then download and run the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows. HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Test the printer.
Then you will need to go back in and enable the start up programs and turn the Antivirus Software back on again.
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)
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

LaserJet 100 Color MFP M175nw printing problem

When I print a page, there is a distinct area on the printed page that looks like a plastic clip or some other object is blocking the toner from transferring to the paper. It does it in both black and color. I want to know whether it is likely to beinside the toner cartridge or some other problem before I replace the cartridge. It is fairly consistent in location on the page. I printed a blank page with cover open and the image was all black except for the object that looks like a plastic clip. It is U shaped and approximately 1 inch long on each side. It looks like a large plastic staple. The platen is clean and nothing on the glass.
This question was solved.

Hi Goldhealey,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I understand you are getting a mark on the page and it is consistent.
I will be happy to help you.
It could be a hardware issue with the printer or one of the toners.
I would remove each toner and inspect them for any obstructions.
Could it be possible that a paper clip fell inside the printer? Try and gently shake the printer but be careful to see if anything falls out.
Run a cleaning page through to see if that clears any obstructions.
Touch the setup button. (wrench)
Arrow to service.
Ok, then arrow to cleaning page.
Ok.
I would recommend to call HP Tech Support to inquire about a replacement printer if it is still
in warranty or find out about the trade in and trade up program.
Contact HP Worldwide.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Laserjet 100 color MFP M175nw wifi connection problem

Some days ago I bought new router Cisco RV 120W and HP Laserjet 100 color MFP M175nw and
I thought the configuration of these devices will go without a problem. But NOT. I get tired of wireless printing, already the second day. I am unable to establish a wireless connection with Laserjet as infrastructure.I've tried everything, connect via USB, I installed the HP driver from a CD and even setup printer via Ethernet cable. I was able to connect to the printer ad-hoc but that's not what I mean. I need my printer in network as infrastructure.
My router provides 802.11n WPA2 PSK with AES. HP Driver Installer can not set parameters of my wireless network, It is allows me to enter the network key but can not find the printer later on wireless connections. I was able to set the parameters of the wireless network by connecting by Ethernet, the printer feeds in the report that the wireless is turned on, connected, pront correct the name of the network, signal strength, but it can not be installed on Windows.
My router shows the DHCP clients (laptops, iPhones) but can not see the printer. Does the printer have a wireless network card damaged? Already checked all the options on the router and I have no ideas.

Hi yarzig
I understand you are unable to setup the wireless on the printer.
Make sure the computer is on the right network.
Disconnect the ethernet cable from the printer.
Restore the printer defaults.
On the printer select the setup button, right arrow to service menu, ok, right arrow to restore defaults, ok.
Print a configuration report to make sure there is no IP address and your network name. (SSID)
Go to the setup button (wrench) on the printer, right arrow to reports, select config report.
Now connect the ethernet cable from the printer to the router.
Wait about 1 minute and print the configuration page to get the IP address.
If you have a valid IP address for the printer try and access the embedded web server.
Type the IP address into internet explorer address bar.
If it loads the printer's network page then the printer is on the network.
Now we can setup the wireless connection.
Click on the Networking Tab, on the left select wireless, fill out the information. Apply the settings, once you get a reply back then disconnect the ethernet cable from the printer.
Should get a solid blue light on the printer.
Now run the add printer wizard.
If you are using Win 7, go to start, devices and printers, add printer, go through the wizard. Should find the printer and install the driver. If not then go to add printer, select local, select create a new port, click drop down and select TCP\IP, next, type in the printer's IP address. Continue the wizard.
Make sure the printer is online.
Test the wireless and see if you can now print.
If you require further assistance please provide the following so I can assist you
better.
What operating system are you using?
Here is a document to check your operating system for Windows.
Is this a laptop or desktop?
Is the computer wireless or hardwired to the router?
What network setup do you have? (Modem/router/2 routers/booster/airport/switch)

Laserjet 100 color MFP M175nw - problems connecting wirelessly to PC

I have just bought a Laserjet 100 color MFP M175nw and cannot connect wirelessly to my home network.
The installation goes to 99% and then gives an error message saying it took too long to connect, reboot and try again. Rebooted and tried again many times.
I have downloaded the latest installation prog. with the same result.
I have been able to connect with USB direct and can print, but not by Wi-Fi.
I have been able to connect the printer to my rooter by ethernet cable and can print that way also.
I am running Win 8.1 on a 64bit Lenovo computer.
Please can you advise a solution?
Thanks

Hi,
Yes. It's a bit embarrassing. Eventually, I went back to the instructions, and followed them to the letter for the WIFI setup - and it worked .
For me, the adage is true - "When all else fails, read the instructions."
So embarrassing!!!!!
Hope this helps.

Help with hp LaserJet 100 color MFP M175nw

Hi all, have run the suggested HP troubleshooting solutions for the below problem but still persists.
When I print from any programme I get yellow smudges along the edge of the print outs at regular intervals. Initially I thought it was yellow toner smudging at the edges somehow and cleaned all the rollers etc. No joy so now think it may be light burn marks on the paper? Out of ideas to resolve the issue. Any suggestions gratefully received. Thanks

Hello,
I'm going to keep this short and simple.
We are/were hp partners once, I bought myself a HP Laserjet 100 color MFP M175nw at Staples in Belgium (Staples is bankrupt meanwhile - a pity for their employees)
I ordered toners on tonershop.be, these toners are approved, HP was fined for this sort of behaviour as 100% valid replacement.   HP forces me to do a software update, next thing I'm seeing is a big warning that I'm using counterfeit products and that I need to contact HP.   This is the world upside down, HP is violating the European free market.   Not the poor guy that wants to make an extra buck, for an underpaid salary in a sweatshop somewhere.
My printer is ruined (I have +25 years profound technical knowledge, experience,whatever)
But my printer is still under warranty no?   No HP (online tells me it isn't) so back to Staples, fortunately they had a copy of my invoice, so that I can be repaired in warranty but no, I the evil HP partner that sold for multiple hundreds of thousands of euros worth of HP products, I used LEGAL replacement toners. Sorry Mr you have to buy a new printer.
Well I don't.    I'm going to take this whole sage (with the microchips with false information, on the toner cartridges full off very expensive toner powder.   And I'm going to mail it to Neelie Kroes and I really hope that HP get's convicted for market manipulation, price agreements, putting themselves above national legislation and lot's of other misconducts.
And because of management that is only interested in greed and their 25th Villa, Tesla car, Island, it will be the HP employee that pay the price for this sort of arrogance and plain stupidity.
HP: You have my contact details, send me an email.
And then the 'too big too fall' companies annoy you with useless questionnaires about their customer service, they ask themselves why nobody is buying their products and so on.
Anyway, for this type of printer I know the story from A-Z meanwhile, I have kept all evidence, invoices and whatever and once again I was once somebody that made you company what it is today after the HP/Compaq merger.
You board of directors, top management, yes Mrs. Ex CEO from Ebay), that is why people don't buy HP anymore.   High Prices, no service.
I prefer to keep this reaction anonymous, one could imagine why.
But I have my a digital print of this post, and signed it with a digital signature.
Because everything what I mentioned above is how it is.
Stop ruining our planet and the future of my children for your own greedy behaviour.
Mr X.
Once HP Partner blah blah blah

Ipad(4th gen) does not connect to Laserjet 100 color MFP M175nw for AirPrinting

Hi,
I have a problem with Laserjet 100 color MFP M175nw and Airprinting.
Ipad(4th gen) cannot connect to printer for AirPrinting.
Wireless Direct is set on in the printer.
When I choose to connect to printers own wifi network with my Ipad, it can't connect.
(Ipad doesn't show the wifi symbol on top left corner.)
And if I try to print with Safari, it says "AirPrint-tulostimia ei löytynyt" which means in english "No Airprint-printers found".
I have all installations by the guide book several times, but seems that this Airprint simple doesn't work.
Device Configuration show this:
Installed Personalities and Options
PCL6           (20040201)
AirPrint
PCL              (20040201)
PDF              (20040201)
PS                 (20040201)
I wonder why AirPrint has empty value? (what ever this might mean)
Br,
Heikki

Hi,
Thank you for your reply and first action plan to find a quick fix.
Unfortunatelly even though I disabled IPv6, it didn't fix the problem. Also reboot and WIFI restart has been tryed sevelar times without any help. Ipad Safari is still giving me a message "no airprint printer found".
Same problem also when I try to print so that both Ipad and printer are connected to my home WLAN/DSL-router.
I don't see any problems for the printer to connect my home WLAN, both printer and Ipad has received an IP address from the WLAN router.
My router model is Zyxel AMG1202-T10B.
Ipad is updated to it's latest SW version which is 7.0.6. and printer's firmware date is 20131028.
I have no problems printing with my Windows 7 desktop computer which is connected to same network as well.
Windows 7 PC is connected to router via Ethernet. Printer is connected to router via Wireless, not ethernet.

Hp laserjet 100 color mfp m175nw not working anymore – MAC OSX YOSEMITE

After installing the YOSEMITE update my hp laserjet 100 color mfp m175nw not printing anymore. Connection is USB. And OSX Drivers are all up-to-dae. Also i heared similar problems with other printers than HP.
Any help? Thanks alot.

Hi @Ankanb ,
I understand that you are having issues since the Apple Security Update was done on the computer, after uninstalling and reinstalling the software, you can't find the printer now. I would be happy to help you.
I have provided some steps to try, to see if we get the printer working again over the network.
Print a Configuration page to see if the printer still has a valid IPv4 address.
Printing a Configuration Report.
If you have a valid IPv4 address for the printer then try and access the Embedded Web Server for the printer.
Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar. (Safari)
Did it load the webpage?
Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Close all applications.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
Restart the computer..
Reset the Printing System:
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Click the Apple icon and then click System Preferences.
Click Printers & Scanners.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system.
Then click the + sign to add the driver, highlight the printer. (you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name) Then click on the Add button.
If you are having network issues, then add the printer through the IP Protocol.
After clicking the + button, select the IP icon across the top, type in the printer's IP address, select jet direct below and then Apply. (you won't be able to scan but you will be able to print, this way we will know if it is a Multicasting issue, if the Mac sees the printer)
If the Multicasting is turned off on the router, you won't be able to add the printer as a bonjour device.
Test the printer.
How is the printer connected? (Ethernet/Wireless)
If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know.
Have a nice weekend!

Engine error HP LaserJet 100 color MFP M175 PCL6 wireless

Hi folks,
I would like to help with the "engine error" you're experiencing. I would like you to download the HP LaserJet Pro Series Firmware Update Utility. With this utility we can install a firmware update for the printer hardware. Please read all the steps below before clicking the above link. If you are using a mac operating system Click here instead.
Flash Firmware Update Notes:
The Firmware Update Utility uses the USB connection to the printer.
The HP LaserJet 100 color MFP M170 series print driver software must be installed prior to using this utility.
The HP LaserJet 100 color MFP M170 series printer must be on and in a READY state as shown by the LCD display on the control panel and remain powered on during the entire firmware update process.
Depending on the processor speed of your pc, the firmware update process may complete on the printer before the update status progress bar in the flash firmware update utility on the pc screen completes, this is normal.
Once the update process has started, do not use your pc for any other activity until the process is complete.
Do not power cycle the product or the pc until the firmware update process is complete
Steps to take :
1. Download the flash firmware updater file by clicking the appropriate link above. (The first link is for Windows operating systems and the second is for Mac)
2. Turn the printer off and then back on to clear main printer memory.
3. Double click on the file M170_colorMFP_Series_FW_Update-20111021.exe flash firmware update utility file. An HP firmware update window will open.
4. Select the appropriate HP M170 MFP series driver in the dialog window. If you assigned a different name to the HP M170 MFP, choose the name that represents the correct printer.
5. Click on ""Send Firmware"" when ready to proceed.
6. The progress bar will begin to move to the right indicating information being transferred.
7. DO NOT power cycle the product or the pc during this process or the product may become unstable and or unusable without further attention from HP. The flash firmware update can take up to 5 minutes to complete. Please be patient.
8. During the product flash firmware update, the display on the product control panel will display ""Printing Document- Erasing - Programming - Complete - Hewlett-Packard - Ready - Initializing - Ready"". Once the download is finished the printer will be in the Ready state.
9. At the conclusion of the firmware update, the dialog window will show a smiley face. Click on exit.
10. The flash firmware update process is complete
Please let me know if this resolves the issue and/or if you would like further assistance.

LaserJet 100 color MFP M175nw - how do I install a different driver on the server to which I RDP?

I have installed my LaserJet 100 color MFP M175nw on my (32-bit) Windows XP Pro SP3 PC via USB and it works fine. When I make it the default printer (I also have another HP printer installed locally) and use Windows Remote Desktop (RDP) to my server - which is (64-bit) Windows Enterprise without Hyper-V SP2 (2008 R2) it prints but some fonts show gobbledygook. The printer driver on the server is defaulting to "terminal services easy print". I have administrator privileges on the server and have, in the past, been able to download the appropriate driver to the server so that printing in the RDP session works. But now I only seem to be able to find installation software to download (not the actual drivers). So, when attempting to install the software (rather than copy it) on the server the installation waits for the local (USB) connection and won't proceed.
What is the best practices way to have the locally installed (fully functional) machine be able to print from an RDP session? I'm sure I shouldn't have to drag each new local printer to the server and install it locally with a USB cable.

Hi there IT _Mgr
Quick suggestion; This is a commercial product. I will suggest seraching for posible solutions and posting in the forum for HP Business Support for yet a better chance at finding a prompt solution.
You may find the commercial Laserjet board here.

WiFi Connect HP LaserJet 100 color MFP M175nw

I have been using a HP LaserJet 100 color MFP M175nw succesfully over my home WiFi network for a few months now. I had a Comcast (WiFi) outage yesterday and had to re-configure my cable-modem/WiFi-Router (combo unit - Motorola Surfboard SBG6580). I used a new SSID name and password when I reconfigured the modem/router.
I assumed that it should be simple enough to re-point my printer to the new SSID and provide the new password. I assumed wrong and I am unbale to get my printer back on to my WiFi network.
I was hoping to launch HP Device Toolbox via the USB connection and reset the SSID name and password but I am unable to connect to the printer to do this.
Any help is much appreciated.

Hi @sp2014 ,
I see by your post that you had to reconfigure the router and now the printer won't connect back to the wireless network. I will certainly do my best to help you.
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 IPv4 address is 0.0.0.0 and the SSID is cleared.
Printing a Configuration Report.
Follow these steps to setup the wireless again through Wireless Direct.
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.
