HP Laserjet 200 M276 fails at 80% at pre-installation

Hello HP Forum,
I reviewed other postings on this issue and I still cannot seem to resolve why my HJ Laser200 MFP276 printer that is 13 months old fails the preinstallation at 80% with error "A problem occured during the preparation of the installation software on your system. Please restart your computer and run the installation software again. If the problem still occures, consult the web site for support on your product."
I have Dell laptop running Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit and trying to install the full software suite. I tried the following:
1. Using the full solution dowload from the HP site as well as using the CD supplied with the printer making sure I had the most current drivers = failed at 80%
2. Some of the forum responses suggested making sure the Printer Spooler is Running and some postings suggested it should be stopped. Tried both ways = fail
3. Went into msconfig file and checked all the Microsoft program and disabled the remaing services = fail
4. Ran the HP software download as Adminstrator = fail
5. Installed the HP Printer Wizard; it is able to discover the deivce but "the selected printer is not currently supported by this wizard."
Not sure what else to do. The HP website shows Win 8.1 Pro is compatible with the printer. For now, I have the printer plugged in via USB and currently have basic printer functions, but eventually, I would like to install the full software to take advantage of full printer capabilities. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks!

Thank you for the information!
Since these steps have not work so far, plase try the steps in this HP document: The Progress Bar on the Software Installation Stops or Stalls
If these steps cannot resolve the issue, I would try installing it on another computer. This would determine whether or not the printer is at fault, or the computer. If it installs on another computer successfully, then we know there is a complicated software conflict on the one computer. I would reinstall the operating system of that computer, and the issue will be resolved.

EPrint registration NOT WORKING in HP Laserjet 200 M276 PCL6

I bought this printer and its only to be able to print on the move, but the ePrint Web service or better enabling the same does not want to work.
The printer is the HP LaserJet 200 colorMFP M276nw PCL6, the serial number is CNF8G6S398, the computer support is an Asus EEE Notebook with Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1.
Updated firmware to version 20140521 (20140718 version does NOT work) to see if it was a firmware problem, the problem remains the same, it does not work through the EWS in my browser, either from the printer panel, this code you can not have.
The printer works regularly in the local network, here in this link all the configuration parameters (the firmware has been updated as mentioned in the link is the old one, but the rest of the configuration is the same).

I'm really frustrated, three days of work without being able to enable the sole function of which I really needed.
This question was solved.

Laserjet 200 color m251 install failed

I cannot get my LaserJet 200 Color M251 software to install. The first install screen gets to 100% and then instantly jumps to an Error message with no error code. I'm running Windows 7 (64bit) and successfully installed this on another computer runnning the same. I've tried restarting, checked that spooler is running and everything I can think of short of reinstalling Windows. Any help?

I'm having this same problem with the same screen popping up at 91% installation progress. I'm running Windows 8.1 64 bit. I've tried both the CD and the downloaded version with the same results. I did originally have it installed from the CD, but the printer was always indicating that it was offline, but I could print from my other laptop (Windows 7). That's when I went to HP online and used the downloaded program. When I ran it, it deleted the version I had already installed. Any help will be greatly appreciated. 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

Laserjet 200 m276n - low memory, no print

Hi,
I have purchased the Laserjet 200 m276n less than a month ago.
Now, it tells me that memory is low when I try to print a document (900 kb in size).
How can I resolve this?
I have connected the printer to our network and print wireless - do not know if that is relevant.
Please help me out.
Kris

Hi @xtopherbrandt ,
I read your post and see that you are getting a "Low Memory" error when printing. I can help.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
Did you try the steps in the previous post?
It will increase the printer's memory through the printer's driver for errors through the Windows printing and turning on the Archive may help for using the Printables.
Update the printer's firmware. HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276.
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)
Please let me know the results.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

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 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.

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.
This is information from the Microsoft forums on printer sharing: Share a printer

Network Configuration for HP LaserJet 200 color MFP M276nw

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?

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.
What is the full name and product number of your printer? How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
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)
Are you using Genuine HP Toner?
What are the toner levels?
Have a nice day!
Thank You.
