Hp laserjet 200 m251nw

unable to close printer tray??
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Perhaps you have inadvertently extended the tray (by pressing the blue lever near the front) so that it will accomodate Legal size paper).
Some printers (I'm not sure if this applies to your printer model) in the Mxxx range have trays which extend in this manner, but the printer itself is not deep enough to hold the extended tray, so about 60mm or so pokes out at the front in this situation.

"The Wireless Radio Is Not Functioning" - LaserJet 200 M251nw

I have had this LaserJet printer for a couple of weeks now and recently it started giving me a number of different errors. It was displaying the 79 Error and i was attempting to figure out why it won't connect to any network when it started hanging up entirely when trying to find networks. i printed out the test report and it says that "The wireless radio is not functioning. Contact HP support."Is this something that can be fixed easily?

Please reset the printer back to factory defaults.
1. From the Home screen on the product control panel, touch the Setup button.
2. Scroll to and touch the Service menu.
3. Scroll to and touch the Restore Defaults button, and then touch the OK button.
The product automatically restarts.
Now check again to see if the wireless radio is non functional. If yes then I suspect the wireless radio has failed. However there is a possible fix, go here:
Connect wireless printer anywhere, convert from wired, bypass failed radio, add WPA2 security.

Hello @lowry_pt,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you're experiencing print quality issues on your HP LaserJet Pro 200 color Printer M251nw. I would like to work with you today with resolving the quality issues.
Can I have you start by running through the following HP Support document:
Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues
Please start by printing a supplies status page and continue on with the steps from there. Don't focus on changing settings on the computer until you get the printer functioning properly on its own.
Please respond to this post and let me know if the print quality troubleshooting steps resolved your issue. Good luck!

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.
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!
Thank You.

HP LaserJet Pro 200 m251nw - Printing Gray instead of Black

HI,
Hoping someone can help. I'm currently using a HP LaserJet Pro 200 m251nw printer, just over a year old, and it all of sudden started printing gray where it should be 100% black. From what I can see all the other colors seem to work fine.
I saw similar posts but nothing clear.
A new black toner cartridge was replaced, system settings restored, multiple cleanings, etc. I currently use a Mac Laptop running Mavericks with the latest drivers that I downloaded.
Am I out of luck? Is this beyond a software issue?
Thank you,
Chris

Thanks for providing that information clodsgn.
Since the self test is printing in gray, it would be a hardware issue. Possibly the toner, hardware or the fuser.
What are all the toner levels?
This can affect the output of the black printing.
Are you using all Genuine HP Toner?
The options are probably different, since you changed to Laserjet 251nw drivers. You can change driver back if you like.
Since right now we are looking at a hardware issue.
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. Check the color blocks, any shadows, each corner check the L-shaped to see if the printer is alignment.
Here is a screen shot:
Try this document to see if it will help.
Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues.
Start at the section for Check toner cartridge status and finish up on Check the paper and printing environment.
What were the results of the Print Quality Page and Diagnostics page?

Laserjet 200 firmware update - "Something is bad with your device"

When trying to update the firmware on my HP LaserJet 200 color M251nw I get:
"Something is bad with your device. Device is in error state and cannot be reflashed because of this. Resolve the problem and try again.".
However the device looks ok, no errors on screen, logs, checked Web UI for hints, reboothing doesn't change the issue....
Current firmware is 20121026.
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
I just check the system requirement on the firmware update page, it doesnt mention MAC.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=lj-108129-7&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
Can you try updating it by conecting it to a windows PC if you have any?

Laserjet 200 will print via wireless direct but intermittently (once) via wireless network

Tried various troubleshooters on Hp and Apple websites to get this working consistently.
Installed new drivers for OSX Yosemite 10.10 - thought all would work fine as went through installing, printing test page etc. Then printer becomes unavailable - although it is on the list of printers.
Same thing has happened variuos times after re-installing it.
Will print directly via USB and wireless direct - but I want to print via the wireless network.
tried all the usual things - making sure on the right wireless network, restarting everything etc.
Using an airport router - are there some settings on this that may be causing an issue - odd though as will print once when initially connected to the wireless network.
Any ideas?

Hi @iphonebore,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP Laserjet 200 M267NW will not stay connected to your wireless network running Mac OS X 10.10. I am sorry to hear this, but happy to help!
Please see the following guides:
'Printer is offline' Message Displays on the Computer and the HP Printer Will Not Print. (Follow the steps for Mac OS X 10.7, and 10.8, as they will work on 10.10.)
Printer Does Not Maintain a Wireless Connection. (This will help you with maintaining the wireless connection.)
As well, please see this post, Incoming and Outgoing Printer Ports, by @VisionAiry, and verify that none of these ports are being blocked by your router.
One more place for some more wireless printing information is our HP Wireless Printing Center - Troubleshooting Issues website.
Hope this information is helpful, and thank you for posting!

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?

LaserJet 200 M276nw works for a week or so then starts intializing every 5 minutes.

Hi, I am now on my third laserjet 200 M276nw in less than a month. I've never seen any company as incompetent as HP.... nobody can figure this out,, all I have available is Indian Phone Centers... they only read and reread the same scripts to me over and over and then want to replace my brand new, expensive laser printer with a refurbished one. I just want one that works and doesn't "Initialize" every 5 minutes on the minute,, it's more accurate than Big Ben but never stops whining and squealing,, night and day. I'm running out of options,, HP is about to lose my business forever... not gonna let my 30 day trial skip into their 1 year warranty or I'll be stuck with a refurbished/someone else's problem. Must be something simple or something I'm not seeing,, read everything I can find, but this seemingly is only happening to me??? WEIRD,, can't imagine getting 3 "OR MORE" of a defective product in a row.
ANY HELP OR IDEAS would be appreciated.
Thanks.

>> ... plugged my router back in... still nothing.
>> ... Turned both iphones back on, waited,, nothing.
>> ... Turned on the laptop,, nothing ...
>> ... Now, before I turned on my desktop which is the main computer I figured i'd best reboot the printer to make sure
>> it's not the laptop. When I turned the printer back on,, it initialized and then again at 5 minute intervals ...
The fact that the printer did not re-initialise with the various computing devices switched off would seem to imply that the re-initialise action is triggered by something on one of the devices, and is not inherent to the printer itself.
The fact that this action didn't happen when the laptop was switched on (even after waiting at least 5 minutes?), but did start again when the printer was then power-cycled may perhaps be because the laptop didn't recognise that the printer was there until the printer reboot triggered some interrupt within the laptop operating system.
>> ... had an Error 49 earlier this afternoon and it shut itself down,, didn't mention it before but haven't had one since ...
So are you saying that the 5-minute occurrences are not each preceded by an error 49.xx being reported (bearing in mind that it may flash up on the display and disappear very quickly)?
And can you confirm that it IS re-initialising each time (the display will presumably indicate this) rather than just entering a cleaning or calibration cycle?

HP laserjet 400 mfp and Laserjet 200 mfp

I have 2 printers HP Laserjet 200 mfp and HP Laserjet 400 MFP. I tried HP phone support. I checked each printer on 2 diffent networks to make sure it was not my setup. When I try and setup both printers with Web Services they both say unable to connect to the internet. I did a firmware update on both printers no help. HP told me that I needed to have a DMZ setup ie. port forwarding I don't think this is right.
Thanks

HP LaserJet 200 colorMFP M276n EcoSMART WOL

Hi,
I have seen a number of discussion boards about disabling EcoSMART feature on the HP Laserjets, but as yet no one has posted a fix or instructions on how to do this. A number of replies have advised how to set the power off time to never, which we already have set.
I'll explain why I want to achieve this:
We have a remote user who sits in a brand new office setup with a HP LaserJet 200 colorMRP M276n printer less than a month ago. This is configured with a static IP address to be used as a network printer and scanner through our dedicate print server.
The issue we have is that the printer takes itself offline every hour because this is the maximum time that the EcoSMART allows us to set. On several occasions the printer has failed to wake up on print and it consistantly fails to connect to the network when attempting to scan.
The major issue is with the scanning, if he fails to print or scan for an hour and then goes to scan it gives a message that it "Cannot connect to SMTP server", at this time we are unable to ping the device or connect to it through the IP (Note, that he is scanning using the control panel on the printer, yet it still fails to come out of sleep mode in regards to network connectivity and yes we have the option to wake on Control Panel enabled) . Our current workaround is to send a test page to the printer, in the hope it brings the printer back online.
This is both an annoyance for our user to have to send a print to the printer in order to use the scanner and also a waste of paper.
Thanks in advance for any help

Can i set up network fax using HP LaserJet 200 colorMFP M276nw

is it possible to use the HP LaserJet 200 colorMFP M276nw as a network shared fax device?
it is set up as TCPIP wired device and works perfectly as a shared printer on a windows network.

Hi there dilligas, welcome to the forums
I saw your post about using your LaserJet 200 color M276nw as a network shared fax. Unfortunately, I do not see this in being possible.

Can the HP LaserJet 200 M276nw can be configured to scan to a network folder without initial set-up from a PC? Without the need of initially connecting the device to a computer first.
We are running a virtual environtment and the printer will need to scan to a configured network folder and this should be done via the device. Of course folder permisisons will be completed prior. I believe I saw a manual where the Embeded web server had this configuration, but would to make sure prior to committing to the purchase. Thanks in advance.

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?
