HP Laserjet Pro 100 MFP175a with Airport Express

Can anyone tell me if its possible to use a HP Laserjet Pro 100 MFP175a with an airport Express ? Am looking at connecting the printer directly to the airport express (via the USB socket on the airport express) and using the home wi-fi network to let all my other apple devices use it for printing (iPhone, Ipad & Mac Mini).
Thanks

Hello reddys,
Welcome to the HP Support forums. I see that you would like to learn if you can use your Laserjet Pro 100 MFP175a with an Apple AirPort Express.
I have included the document Share Your Printer on a Network with Apple AirPort for you. It has a section for those running Windows OS and another section for those using Mac OS X. At the end of the document there is also an FAQ section.

HP LaserJet Pro P1606DN compatible w/ Airport Express?

I am going to be purchasing a new Mac Pro and would like to be able to print wirelessly to a laser printer. I like the HP LaserJet Pro P1606DN, but it is not a wireless printer, per se.
I understand after speaking with an Apple representative that a non-wireless printer (assuming it has the right drivers) can be plugged directly into the Airport Express via USB, which will allow a Mac Pro with an Airport card installed to print to it wirelessly.
So, I have two questions:
1) Does the HP printer mentioned above have the proper drivers (or is otherwise compatible) to work with the Airport Express?
2) Will the configuration I mentioned above work, assuming the printer is compatible with Airport Express?
Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions!
This question was solved.

It should work just fine. Your Mac Pro does not have to be wirelessly connected to your network for it to work, a wired connection will also work (unless the Airport Express will not be on your network but rather just stand-alone).

HP LaserJet Pro 100 Color MFP M175a and airport express

Hi,
I just bought an HP LaserJet Pro 100 Color MFP M175a and installed it via USB cable on my mac book pro. Then I connected the cable to my Airport Express (where I had before a Samsung printer working correctly) and now it is impossible to find my printer via the airport express. I tried to add it via the printers & scanners (+) but it does not appear in the list.
Then I tried to add it via IP address but the 175a model has no IP address, which means I can put the address of the airport express but it does not communicate with the printer then...
I really tried several options without success and would be really grateful if someone has an idea or a solution.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,
Thanks for the link that is really useful. However when we follow this process, the printer is not recognized as a printer but as a scanner, which means that everytime we want to print with it, it is not possible because the scanner is not proposed as a device to print.
On the following link http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/Laserjet-100-color-MFP-M175a-Mbook-Air-lion-o... we are trying to solve this problem with Provost but it seems to be more complicated than expected. So please feel free to tackle this problem with us .

HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw unable to communicate with product

Hi guys,
I've had a HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw for 12months now and it has worked great over my wireless network. I recently upgraded from router from a 5 year old single band router to a late model dualband wireless N router.
Since i did this my HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw was unable to reconnect to my new network.
I have uninstalled the drivers and have tried reinstalling the drivers but each time (after I select Connect the Product/Coonect through wireless network, have tried both Yes retrieve the wirelss settings on my computer and No I will enter the wirelss settings manually) but no matter which I select the printer is installed successfully but then gets stuck at 15% and says cannont communicate with the product.
I have disabled my firewall during the installation and have only used the USB cable when the installation has asked me to do so.
The printer is visible in control panel but each time I do a test print or send something to the printer in the sys tray the print job is shown but nothing ever happens.
The installation will work fine if I install it via the directly connect to the computer using USB option.
If I do a test print fromt he printer itself by going into the network setting, network test it prints a page that says:
Wireless On Pass
Wirelss Working Pass
Network Name SSID Found Fail
Security Fail
Your HP printer cannot find your wirelss router. The WPA authentification method on your HP has changed fromt he default setting.
Is there anyway I can edit the SSID network name and password without having to do this install process?
This is really frustrating. Just spent 3 hours with HP support which got me know where (they were reading the script the supplied me) and then when I rebooted and went to go back to online chat support the website tells me their support is only available during business hours!
Any help would be great

OK time to back up totally. I need to make sure you are following the instructions in the user guide to install this printer. Please start from scratch by uninstalling all software from your computer and outline every step to make sure it is correct.
You have to use the USB cable to set up the wireless connection.
Go here for the User Guide and all installation info. Get your drivers and troubleshooting info here too.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/manualCategory?cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=5076465
The reason we have to start over is that you started the software installation when you changed your router. You don't have to do this, but now we do.

How do I stream rhapsody from my MacBook Pro to my receiver with Airport Express?

How do I stream rhapsody from my MacBook Pro to my receiver with Airport Express?

You will need an application like Airfoil for Mac to be able to stream any audio files on your computer to the AirPort Express.

Laserjet pro 100 color mfp m175

We have a number of HP LaserJet Pro 100 Color MFP M175's in our school. They are connected to the network via ethernet cable rather than wirelessly. A number of users print to them either from a Windows XP (running service pack 2) desktop or from a Windows 7 (newly built) laptop. They were working fine for a few days and then all of a sudden they may have any of the following problems:
unsupported personality error printed at the top of a lot of pages (ie you may try and print one page but hundreds of pages come out with this error).
there may be an invalid driver error on the control panel on the printer
there may be weird alien-looking characters at the top of hundreds of blank pages
initially all of the printers had the driver installed that came with the printers, when we started getting the error, we then tried running the diagnostics doctor on the hp web site, which said all the drivers were valid. We have also tried using the universal print driver from the HP support website, but still get the problem after a few days. We can make all of the errors go away by re-installing any of the above drivers, but then the problem starts happening again after a few days. The server is Windows 2003R2 running service pack 2, we have tried installing the drivers on the server too, but they won't install. Another printer was set up this week in the school office which only has people printing from Windows 7 machines and doesn't have the error - this could be because it's too soon to happen yet, or maybe because there are no Windows XP machines printing to it? (It does print through the same server as the others) Help would be greatly appreciated, we are a school and so can't afford to be wasting lots of paper, plus this is taking up all of our time rather than fixing other issues! thanks in advance

Tammy, sounds like there could be a couple things that might cause this issue. The first of which is that the RJ45 cable you are using to connect the printer might have become corrupted. I would replace that cord and see if the issue remains.
Second, I want you to see about updating the firmware from this website :
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=5076465
If that still presents issues, you can use that same website to download the more recent drivers. I would uninstall the old version you have on the computer and then open that link and install the full feature software.
Let me know how that goes and I will get right back with you!
I hope you are having a wonderful week, and I hope that the weather where you are located is as beautiful there as it is here!

Want to print remotely to my HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw

Hello! I have a
HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw printer in my office. It is connected to my wifi network from the office and i can use it from several laptops from office with no issue.
Now i want to be able to print and scan papers from my home pc also which is connected to my home wifi network.
I found there it is possible to print pages over internet. Except hpeprint option, how can i add printer from office to printer list from my home pc.
Please help me.
Thanks!

Hi Tolick,
Thank you becoming a member of the HP Support community. I understand that you have an HP Laserjet 100 at your office and you would like to be able to print to it when you are at home.
Super_Dave is correct with the solution he gave you. I just wonder if you have set up the ePrint feature of your Laserjet yet and customized the ePrint email address? If you have then using the ePrint software that you installed on your laptop should allow you to print to your office printer from home. The instructions on how to do this are in the HP ePrint Software User Guide on page 16 in the section titled "Use HP ePrint (Windows)".
If you haven't set up the ePrint feature of the printer I have included a two documents for your reference. The first one is how to get the claim code and the second is how to setup the customized ePrint email address. This may the step that is missing to make the ePrint software work for you.

HP Laserjet Pro 100 Color MFP M175nw Print missing/faded down centre of every page

HP Laserjet Pro 100 Color MFP M175nw. Operating on Windows 7 from my laptop wirelessly. Just bought this new a few day's ago and each page of print has about 20mm wide streak missing print running down the centre. what can I do to correct this problem? I have tried printing a cleaning page a couple of times and calibrating color from the Print Quality Menu also a couple of times but this has made no difference. I'm using a Premium quality paper for use in laserjet printer's. Could someone please advise me what I can do. Thanks in anticipation.
This question was solved.

Hi Watcher35,
I see that the new Laserjet Pro 100 MFP M175NW is missing print down the center of the pages, you have ran cleaning and color calibration but the issue is not resolved.
Would this be an accurate example of the issue: but with the "Bb" would be completely missing?
This HP document: Resolving Print Quality Issues may take you though some of the same steps you have already done, I suggest not skipping any steps.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here.

Scanner icon lost HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M177fw

HP Model: HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M177fw
After "updating" drivers on my IMac my Scanner disappeared and I have not been able to Scan for over a month. I just started a new business and this is debilitating! Can anyone shed any light on this? I do have Yosemite and will unintall it to get my Scanner back if that's what it takes. However, HP should "fix" this issue immediately; afterall, I spent close to $400 on this JetPrinter and am willing to return it.

Hi @BertieBaby ,
I see that you are having issues with scanning after updating drivers on the Mac. I will certainly do my best to help you.
Did you download and install the Full Feature Software when you first setup the printer?
If you didn't, please download and install them from this link. HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M176/M177 Series Software.
If you already have the Full Feature Software installed, try the following steps:
Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
Close all applications.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
Double-click Disk Utility.
Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
Restart the computer..
Reset the Printing System:
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Click the Apple icon and then click System Preferences.
Click Printers & Scanners.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system.
Then click the + sign to add the driver, highlight the printer. (you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name-LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M177fw Bonjour) Then click on the Add button.
Test the printing and scanning.
If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know.
Have a nice weekend!

PRINTING IN COOL DOWN MODE PROBLEM IN HP LASERJET PRO 100 COLOR MFP M175a

i recently bought HP Laserjet pro 100 color MFP M175a but it prints like 40 pages and goes to cool down mode and it takes like 10 minutes to cool and again it prints 40 pages so i donot the problem

Hi @teko2014,
I see by your post that the printer keeps going into a Cool-Down mode. I can help you with this. I can help you with this.
I have provided a document with Resolving Control Panel Messages.
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.
Update the printer's firmware. HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175a Drivers.
Select your operating system, click next, click the link for firmware.
Where is the printer located? (enclosed cabinet, desk)
If the printer is in a enclosed area, temporarily move it to another open location and try printing again.

HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw error

i have HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw installed on print server.
sometimes if the printer restart the hostname will back to default hostname setting and need to reconfigure again.
if anyone has ever experienced something similar? or could help for this problem?

Hi tehdjie
I am not completely familiar with his server, this is the consumer support.
I would recommend an uninstall/reinstall of the full feature software for 2003 and a firmware update for the printer. I included the link for the software and the firmware update.

HP LaserJet Pro 100 functioned printer M175nw cleaning every night

I have a
HP LaserJet Pro 100 multifunctionele kleurenprinter M175nw. Runs fine in a wireless network.
The printer is used some times but also a week not at all. After 15 min the printer goes into sleep mode and after two hours or so the device switches off except the green standby light for receiving new wireless jobs.
Problem i have is that nearby every night the printer runs with a lot of noise, in the middle of the night. It looks like he is cleaning the drums or turning the cartridges or the drum. It SOUNDS like he is prepairing for printing but there is no job at all. After a few minutes the device stops and goes back to sleep. I am doiing it also than.
Is this a service property of this machine and can i switch it off? It takes energy and wakes me up!

Hi @jeroegro,
I see that the printer is going into a cleaning mode in the evening and you would like to be able to turn this service off.
I can help you today.
I couldn't find any settings through the printers control panel to turn this service off.
Either turn the printer off manually or you can set the printer to power off after so many hours, through the menus.
Go to Setup, System Setup menu, (wrench button) Energy Settings, Auto Power Down, set the time.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw

I am trying to load the driver for my LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw on my new laptop. It is very slow and after about 10 minutes times out at 99% and says it is a fatal error. I have restarted the PC several times and always with the same result. It loaded on to my old Windows 7 PC immediately. This new PC is WIndows 8.1 64 bit and that is what I chose when beginning the download.
