HP LaserJet 400 color M451dn - help connecting wirelessly

Hello,
I am having the hardest time connecting my HP LaserJet wirelessly. I bought it to be able to print wirelessy, but I cannot get it connected. Does anyone have any suggestions? It seems like this should be something very simple...
Thank you,
Ben

As far as I'm aware, the LaserJet Pro 400 colour printer M451dn model does not support wireless connections; you'd need the M451dw model for that.

Windows 7 32 bit with no support for HP Laserjet Pro 400 color M451dn help.

I live in a mac / PC house, I have to admit that the apple movement is growing here.
My problem Is getting my small little PC netbook Windows 7 32 bit to be able to print to my new HP Laserjet Pro 400 M451dn printer which is plugged into my 2 TB Time Capsul.
I have been successfull connecting the mac computer, and my old Windows XP computer and they work perfectly.
Everything is connected throught an etheir net corded network in the house.
I used Bonjour to connect the Windows XP computer and it worked like a charm.
When I used Bonjour to connect with my Windows 7 computer the pinter HP Laserjet Pro 400 M451dn is not listed. I have a disk with the drivers that came with the printer but it is a setup disk which is not able to provide the necessary drivers.
If any one has some suggestions I am open to give them a try. I have a portable CD / DVD player burner that I can hook to the net book as it does not have a CD drive.
Thanks

Okay, so I'm feeling slightly stupid right now. I decided I would shut the printer down for about an hour to see if that was it and what do you know- it was! I had shut it off a few times before but I guess it just wasn't long enough. What a pain!
Thank you to anyone who took the time to read this! Sorry to waste anyone's time!!

Disable sleep on HP LaserJet 400 color M451dn

Hello.I have this printer set up as a network printer, connected directly to the network.I already know that this printer doesn't allow ACL. Bummer.Now I have another problem with sleep mode. It's constantly in sleep mode and it takes one minute for it to wake up and print any document. I've installed the latest firmware (date: 20150126), still it doesn't allow to disable the sleep mode, unlike it is shown on the manual. The best option seems to be setting the delay sleep mode for one hour, but this isn't good enough for my users.Any ideas, please?Regards.

HP LaserJet 400 Color MFP M475dw Problems in OS 10.9.4

I'm using a 2013 MacBook Pro, 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 9 GB 1600 MHz DDR3. I connect via wifi to the referenced printer (for almost a year now). Since updating to OS 10.9.4 I am able to print only one document at a time. Attempting to print a second document generates the message "Printer is not connected." If I turn the printer off and back on again, I'm able to print one document. Then the same thing occurs again. I have done the following so far, all to no avail:
Downloaded and installed latest driver (specifically for Mavericks) from HP
Checked for Apple software updates and found none
Reset the printing system (per instructions elsewhere in these forums)
I updated to OS 10.9.4 on July 5th and that is when this problem started. Where do I go from here???

And BTW, here's a repost of what I posted on July 7th:
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??????

Dear support,
The firmware link for HP LaserJet 400 color M451nw is not working.
May you please fix it, thanks.
regards,
Frank

There is no option to change what tray ePrint prints from.
For now, it will only print from tray 1.
However, you could load paper into tray 1 since it is currently left empty and change the default in the printer settings to tray 2 so that all print jobs (except for ePrint) will bypass tray 1.

Connect HP Printer (Laserjet 500 color M551), to 2 wireless networks.

Hi everyone,
I am trying to connect the formentioned printer(*) to 2 wifi's we have in work. Let's say WNet1 & Wnet2.
So that everyone connected in those 2 Wireless Networks, can print.
(Details: the printer is already set up for WNet1, and is working fine. But half of us can't connect to WNet1, so we have WNet2 for that reason. The printer is "in range" for both WNetworks, that will not be an issue )
(*): Laserjet 500 color M551

Hoping for repsonse from HP, re: Laserjet 400 Color MFP M475dw can not locate wifi network

Greetings!
MY HP Laserjet Pro 400 Color MFP M475dw (9 months old) no longer finds any wireless network in my home. It worked fine then stopped for no reason I can determine. Nor will it print via USB cable direct from my PC. I opened a case with HP on 9/1/14 for this issue (Case [Edited for Personal Information]) but have only received emails from HP asking for a valid phone number and the address of the printer location, all of which has been provided several times. The first email from HP gave me a phone number to contact HP but that number was missing a digit (1-890-946-500). Please help! This printer is the only color printer I have to use for my home-based small business. Thank you! Wendy [Edited for Personal Information]

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.

After each print job I get the message on printer screen "Engine error press [OK]" It will print again only after pushing Ok button. Is there a fix? HP printers have not been that reliable, I 'm will not buy onother if this cannot be fixed.

HP LaserJet Pro 400 color M451dn Printing Color Streaks: HELP!

We recently replaced the ink cartridges in our printer, but now, it's printing color streaks on our paper. The weird thing is, it only does this for 4 pages every 4 pages. 4 pages will be okay, then we'll get cyan, magenta, yellow, and black horizontal stripes on the next 4 pages. We think it's because we replaced the Laserjet cartridges with a generic toner. Is there any way to fix this???

To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial Forums.
I hope this helps!

Laserjet 200 color M251 cannot connect to ePrint service

The printer is installed successfully to my home network wirelessly and I am able to print from my wireless laptop. When I have tried to enable the ePrint it fails to connect. My first try was by using my browser to go to the printer's IP address. On the "Web Services Setup" page I clicked the Enable button and waited. It failed to print the Information Sheet that the instructions indicated. So I went to the printer's touch screen and tried to print it from there. That produced the error message "Connection error: 500..." indicating it could not connect to the service. I then shut off both my PC' firewall and my router's firewall and retried. No joy. All the PCs and my Iomega NAS have no issues with connecting to the Internet so I cannot think of why the printer should have a problem.
I'd appreciate any advice on how to proceed.

@Old60sHippie
Okay something is wrong here because resetting the printer should not have required you to reinstall the software on your PC. So I am a little puzzled at that on one. What version of the software did the cd install? You can find this out by going to printer properties and the about tab. If you don't have the following version: Version 61.117.01.1530. Then I would definately consider uninstalling your current software and updating to this one.
Now to wireless direct - this is not required for web services but if you turn it on you will be able to print directly from your mobile device to your printer. If using this method you will have no access to the internet. If using this method for printing, remember to hook back into your wi-fi for other services.
Again, I would encourage you to update your software driver/installer before going any further.
m251 Product page
Now back to the other issue of connecting to web services, I have tested this repeated this morning and have been able to successfully disable and re-enable web services with the information sheet printing out. The only difference in our set up in mine is networked. So if you don't mind and have the capibility, try networking your printer, see if you can connect to web services then set up the wireless connection. A little clunky but our goal is to get you connected...

Need help connecting wireless router to wired router

Our computers (1 desktop, 1 laptop,and our Xbox) are presently connected to a Dynex DX-E401 4-Port/Cable/DSL Router. We would like to keep this arrangement for the XBox & desktop for gaming purposes (general consensus seems to be a wired connection is faster than wireless). However, I would like to add a Linksys WRT54GL Ver 1.1 wireless router for another laptop to roam around the house. Can I just connect the Linksys wireless router into the Dynex wired router, or does everything now have to go through the wireless router first? To connect the wireless router, do I run the setup CD in the laptop that I want to primarily use the wireless router? I'm not the most savvy when it comes to this stuff, but can follow detailed directions. If there are any links/videos, etc. you can refer to me to that already addresses this issue, that would be great. I greatly appreciate any assistance you can provide.

You don't run the setup disk at all. Actually, you don't want a router you only want a wireless access point.
Wire a computer to the WRT. Open the web interface at http://192.168.1.1/ (default password is "admin").
On the main setup page, change the LAN IP address from 192.168.1.1 to a free IP address in your DSL router LAN. If the DSL router uses 192.168.1.1 as well, you may be able to set it to 192.168.1.2 unless the DHCP server on the DSL router uses 192.168.1.2.
On the same configuration page of the WRT disable the DHCP server.
Save settings.
Unplug the computer.
Wire one of the numbered LAN ports of the WRT to your DSL router.
That's it. Now you are able to do any further configuration through the web interface of the WRT at http://192.168.1.2/ (or whatever IP address you have set).
Don't forget to enable wireless security WPA2 Personal with AES and a strong passphrase and change the router password "admin" on the Administration/Management page.

Cannot print to HP LaserJet 400 colorMFP M475dw after updating OS

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.
