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.
LASERJET PRO 200 COLOR.
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.
5.Click the OK button.
Use printing presets
1.On the File menu, click the Print option.
2.Select the driver.
3.In the Presets menu, select the printing preset.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

  • 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.

    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.

  • HP laserjet 200 color M251nw color issue

    hey ppl, new here. we have an HP 200 color M251nw that will only print black and white. Well using the black toner cartridge and not the others. I've checked the printer properties and all color sections seem enabled. I am going to try an updated driver to see if that'll help. Seems like a setting not turned on..??? Any help with this is appreciated.

    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

  • LaserJet Pro 200 Color M251nw : Wifi turned off but still broadcasting

    Hello there,
    First of all, forgive my English.
    I have a HP LaserJet Pro 200 color M251nw, so it has wifi capability. Since the printer is plugged with an ethernet cable to my router, I don't feel the need to use the wifi embedded in the printer.
    Thing is, when if I turn off the wifi on the printer, and even if I disable "wifi direct printing", I can still see the SSID of the printer on my home devices (HP-Print-a6-LaserJet 200 color).
    I have looked on the forum and tried the "factory reset" by turning on, unplug both printer and wall socket, wait for 15 seconds... etc. It didn't work. I have also already installed the latest firmware.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! :-)

  • Unable to Print Wireless anymore HP LaserJet Pro 200 Color M251nw

    I've owned my extremely good HP LaserJet Pro 200 Color M251nw for around 10 months now but all of a sudden it has stopped printing wireless. If I print via a USB it works fine. I have downloaded new drivers and Firmware, done numerious restarts on both mac/pcs and printer but this still hasn't fixed the issue. I have run a number of Network Tests and all are coming back OK. When I try to configure the machine using the Online Printer Utility it cannt connect to my network (even though the self diagnostic test on pritner tells me everything is OK. I am running  a mixture of both Mac and PC's and cant print from any of my devices. Bonjour print is enabled on the pritner but i cant see a bonjour IP address on my Mac.
    Printer is still under warrenty but obviously feel that this is a last resort.

    Hi @bluemango, 
    I see by your post that the printer stopped working over the wireless network. I can help you with this.
    Restore the network defaults on the printer.
    Go to setup, network setup, restore defaults.
    Power cycle the router and computers.
    Then run the wireless setup on the printer.
    Go to setup, network setup, wireless menu, wireless setup wizard.
    Print off a configuration page, to make sure the printer has a valid IP address.
    Printing a Configuration Report. Print the report from the printer's control panel.
    If you have a valid IP 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. (Internet Explorer or Safari)
    If it loads the printer's network page then the printer is on the network.
    On the Mac, try and add the printer through Printers and Scanners or run the installation.
    On the Windows computer, run the add printer wizard through the printers window or run the installation.

    Hi @SALLYANNC,
    I see by your post that you are unable to print from the internet. I can help you with this.
    Run the Windows updates and update your browser.
    Try printing from another browser to see if you have the same results.
    Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?

  • 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.
    How is the printer connected to the computers?

  • 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 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.
