Hp laserjet M1536dnf mfp wont complete installation

I try to install the installation software from the hp website.  Everything loads perfect unstill it gers to 99%, and then it gets an error about some time limitation, or timeout or something? HELP!

Hi computing_stevo,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I understand you are unable to install the printer software.
I will be happy to help you.
I have provided a lot of steps to follow, but this will allow the installation to finish.
Disconnect the USB cable, if using a USB connection.
Go into printers and faxes, click file then Server Properties.
Click on the drivers tab at the top of print server properties window.
Choose the printer you want to uninstall and click remove.
Choose remove driver and package. If any show Universal PCL 5 or Universal PCL 6 also remove.
The next screen will give a warning, letting you know that deleting the driver package will remove it from the system.
Click yes to say that you are sure you want to do this. (if the printer isn't listed that is OK)
Run the uninstall from the CD.
Go to start, computer, right click the CD, open, double click the uninstall.
Open the device manager window. Go to start, right click my computer, left click properties, click on the hardware tab, click device manager.
Now run the CD install, leave that device manager window open beside the install window.
Don't connect the USB cable until prompted.
Start the installation.
In the Device Manager Screen do the following:
1 Go to view across the top. Select show hidden devices.
2 Under printers you will see a  universal printer PCL5 or PCL6  or the actual printer, this may take a couple of minutes, be patient. (after connecting the USB cable it should show up)
3 Right click on the printer, update drivers, once again, this option may take a couple of minutes.
Browse to my computer for driver software, let me pick from a list of driver software.
4 You will see two option.
  1) The printer driver.
  2) universal printer PCL5 or PCL6.
5 Select the printer driver and update it and as soon as the update is done the software install will move from connection to installing the software.
This should prevent the fatal error.
I believe that this will provide a resolution to your issue. Thank you.

    I am getting the error messages in my windows 8 machines "The scanner is currently in use. Please wait until your previous task is completed and then try scanning again." I have a HP LaserJet M1536dnf MFP printer which is connected to the network and users connected to the network through wifi. I have installed the latest driver versions from hp.com. It will work for some time but again will face the same issue. In Windows 7 machines, there are no issues.If anybody is having solution to this problem please share.Thank you.

    I see by your post that you are only getting the error on the Windows 8 computer, "The scanner is currently in use. Please wait until your previous task is completed and then try scanning again." I can help you with this issue.

  • Unable to use scan with networked HP LaserJet M1536dnf MFP using Mac OSX, but able to print.

    Thanks for any help. 
    I'm using an HP LaserJet M1536dnf MFP.
    It is networked wirelessly via an Apple Extreme and prints just fine over the network but will not scan. 
    Yet, it scans just fine when I move the printer's USB cable from the Extreme directly to the MacBook Pro (a bit of a hassel).
    When I try to scan over the wireless network, I'm able to go through the scan driver interface and see the printer, but when I click on "Scan", I recieve this error message:
    "Scanner communication cannot be established."
    "HP LaserJet M1536dnf MFP is currently unavailabe.  Ensure cables are connected.. etc."
    I'm running OSX 10.8.3 on an old MacBook Pro (2008)

    Hello, DP Photo, sounds like a scanning issue with the software. To start I want you to completely remove the software and then reinstall the programming from the packages available on the website I am going to link you to below. Use the full-feature software if available.

  • HP LaserJet M1536dnf MFP doesn't automatically answer faxes

    My new HP LaserJet M1536dnf MFP does not automatically answer fax calls.  I do not have a phone hooked up or an answering machine/voicemail.  The 'Answer Mode' is 'Automatic'.
    We use an analog converter to connect it to our internal digital VOIP phone system.  The prior MFP that was connected didn't have any issues with answering/printing faxes.
    I can see "Incoming call" on the display but it just rings and rings.  If you press the 'Start Fax' button when it's ringing, then it will proceed with connecting and receive the fax, otherwise it eventually drops the call.  This is not good seeing that a lot of faxes come in when the office is closed or otherwise unattended.
    I tried the "Fax/Tel" setting, but that didn't work either.
    Please help!
    Thanks, much!!!
    This question was solved.

    Hi @DW-OH,

  • HP laserjet m1536dnf mfp print and scan is very slow

    Hi Sir/Madam,
    HP laserjet m1536dnf mfp print and scan is printing and scanning slow on network. Sometimes scan is not work. That's why I have to reinstall the printer driver. So how to increase print speed?
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi riz1_4444,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I understand the printer is printing and scanning slow on the network.
    I will be happy to help you.
    Make sure printer is connected directly to a wall outlet.
    Try printing a hardware test on the printer to see if it prints slow or not.
    Printing a Configuration Report. Select Method one: Print a Configuration Report from the printer control panel.
    I would restart the router to see if this will resolve the issue.
    Try another Ethernet cable.
    If you are still having issue then test the printer by connecting the printer to the computer by a USB cable to see if it is something on the network that is causing it to slow down.
    Hope this resolves your issue for printing slow over the network.
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

    Purchased a HP Laserjet M1536dnf MFP four days ago for use with an Apple MacBook Pro using OSX 10.9.4. I got it to print and copy, but keep getting the folllowing error message when attempting to scan:
     “Scanner reported an error

    Yes, it is connected and yes it is turned on. The version of HP Scan that was installed is 4.4.1

  • Scaner problem - HP LaserJet M1536dnf MFP

    HP LaserJet M1536dnf MFP
    Wire LAN connected.
    There are two stations working with the same MFP.
    On one - everythink works fine.
    On second - not.
    Drivers are the same: 61.101.98561
    IP address of printer is the same.
    Both on Win7.
    Issue is that MFP is printing documents but it refuses to scan any. After running HP Scan application it takes few seconds before it runs and when I finally hit 'scan' button it shows error telling that there is no scaner connexcted to that computer (unfortunatelly i can't paste this error).

    Welcome to the HP Forums SamHell,
    I see by your post the printer won't scan on the second computer running Windows 7 but it will print over the wired network. I can help you with this issue.
    Temporarily turn off the Antivirus software to see if that is blocking the printer communication for scanning.
    Test the scan again.
    If you are still having issues then check the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) services.
    Windows: HP Scan Software Does Not Open or Scan on a Printer Using a USB Connection.
    Disregard the title.
    Go to Solution three: Check the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) services.
    I have provided a document for setting up the Firewall to Allow a connection to the printer in case that is causing this issue. Configuring a Firewall to Allow a Connection with the All-in-One in Windows.
    Test the scan.
    Then you will have to go back in and turn the Antivirus software back on again.
    If the issue persists run the Print and Scan Doctor since it might resolve the issue automatically or will find out if it is a driver, Twain, WIA connection or software issue.

    We have an HP Laserjet M1536dnf MFP.  Just starting receiving an error with the HP ToolboxFx on Windows 7 32 bit start-up.  We can scan and the printer test prints, but it says the HP Toolbox has encountered an error and cannot recover.  Please restart the HP Toolbox FX...or...toolbox version 006.15.01163.  In toolbox screen, it says cannot connect to device.
    I have tried a number of things and read posts, but still no luck.  I can still scan, though.  Help?

    Hi,
    Try installing the latest firmware of the printer, reboot both the printer and the PC and check for any difference:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=Im-86043-11&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
    If that doesn't help, go to C:\HP Laserjet M1530 Basic Software\Utilities and follow the Scrubber.exe to uninstall the software (it may vary and may be named similar as NTScrubber for example).
    Reboot your PC, go to Drive C and remove the M1530 Basic Software folder, then download and install the latest software below:

  • LaserJet Pro MFP M276nw software installer not detecting printer via USB or wi-fi - Windows 7

    I am trying to install a LaserJet Pro MFP M276nw on Windows 7 Home Premium x64, and I know the printer functions fine, as I have installed it on both Windows Vista Basic x32 and Windows 7 Professional x64 all on the same desktop. The operating system has been changed a couple of times, hence the multiple installs.
    I downloaded the full featured software from HP.com and went through the routine of installation as per usual, except that now the software doesn't detect the printer when it requests that I connect it via USB.  Trying to install via wi-fi doesn't work because the printer still needs to be attached via USB in order to create the proper wireless handshake.  Windows 7 detects the printer, and in-fact installed the drivers for it automatically.  However, the printer installation software suite does not respond to the printer being connected, and just hangs there, waiting for it to appear.
    I have tried multiple USB ports and it's the same issue.  I've installed the basic driver also available for download on HP.com, but that software does not appear to include an option for scanning files to the computer.  The printer itself will scan to email or to to a USB thumb drive, and even to a network folder, but not directly onto the computer.  If it wasn't a necessary function of an all-in-one printer, I wouldn't bother with the scanning feature and simply make do with the basic printer driver. 
    Anyone have some sort of idea regarding this issue?

    Hi @KP_ ,
    I see that you are having issues with setting up the printer on the one computer. I would like to help you out today.
    I would uninstall the software, turn off the Startup programs, Antivirus software and update the driver during the install by the post I have provided.
    Disconnect the USB cable.
    Uninstall the software.
    Here are the steps to run the uninstall from the computer or the CD.
    To uninstall from program files:
    Touch the Windows key and the E key to access the computer window.
    Select the C drive.
    Select program files or program files x86.
    Open the HP and printer name folder.
    Select uninstall.
    Uninstall the software from the CD:
    Touch the Windows key and the E key to access the computer window. Right click on the CD for the printer, left click open in a new window, double click on uninstall.
    I would disable all the start up programs and temporarily turn off the Antivirus Software to see if there is a program interfering in the back ground. How to use MSCONFIG . Click on the start up tab and click disable all.
    Download, save and then run the latest drivers. Don't Connect the USB cable until prompted during the install.
    HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver.
    Right after connecting the USB cable, follow this document immediately. A Fatal Error Displays During Software Installation. Disregard the title. If the printer stays listed properly, don't worry about updating the driver.
    Test the printer.
    Then you will have to go back and enable the Startup programs and turn the Antivirus Software back on again.
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a great day!
