HP LaserJet Pro 200 MFP Loud noise + grinding

This is my second HP Printer ( exact same one). After using it quite often for over 8 months the printer starts out by printing 2 completely black pages before printing the desired document. This will repeat if the printer sits for more
than 15 minutes. Also when about to print it makes a rough grinding noise and then continues onto grabbing the paper and does it's job. Cartridges are full ( brand new). I even went and purchased another one to see if this is the problem.I print about 100 pages a day and get orders at different time of day so I do not have time to wait and 2 two pages before going on with the thing I wanted to print in the first place.
Also, even though the cartridge shows 80% full the pages print faded images.
I use HP paper for laer printers
Always use original HP cartridges
HeLp!!!

Hi @Dadcia ,
I see that you are having issues with the printer printing 2 black full pages and then it will print properly after that, but makes a grinding noise. I will certainly do my best to help you.
I am assuming you have one of the models with just the black toner. Which one do you have? How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
I would run a firmware update on the printer first.
Try printing a hardware self test page after the printer sits for the 15 minutes to see if you have the same results.
Inspect the toner cartridge for damage:
1. Remove the toner cartridge from the product and verify that the sealing tape has been removed.
2. Check the memory chip for damage.
3. Examine the surface of the imaging drum on the bottom of the toner cartridge.
CAUTION: Do not touch the roller (imaging drum) on the bottom of the cartridge.
Fingerprints on the imaging drum can cause print-quality problems.
4. If you see any scratches, fingerprints, toner or other damage on the imaging drum, replace the toner.
5. If the imaging drum does not appear to be damaged, rock the toner cartridge gently several times and reinstall it. Print a few pages to see if the problem has resolved.
If you still have the other printer, switch the toners to see if you still have the same issue.
Please let me know the results.
I can provide you with more steps, once I know which model you have.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Issue Printing One or Two Checks on HP LaserJet Pro 200 MFP M276nw

I just purchased an HP LaserJet Pro 200 MFP M276nw which replaces an HP Color LaserJet 2605dn.
I've run into an issue printing checkes from Quicken when I print less than a full sheet (one or two) checks.
With my old printer, I used the manual feed for a partial sheet.
Since the new printer does not have a manual feed, I have to put the partial sheet in the paper tray.
It seems one of two things happen:
1) Sometimes the printer will print the partial page but then displays an error message which says something like "Unexpected paper size, load letter."
It then re-prints the partial page on the next sheet of paper.
2) Othertimes, it prints the partial page without the error message, but then feeds the next sheet of paper throught the printer.
In either case the next page contains the next three checks, so it's either wasting checks or printing on the wrong check numbers.
Any suggestions on how to avoid these issues would be appreciated.

Me too.
I've been using an alternate printer for printing the checks, but I'd rather get rid of the old one. (The HP Laser Pro 200 takes up a lot of space!)
KC, Seems like you've been waiting for an answer for a VERY long time. I'm not going to hold my breath.
Hey HP! Do you ever monitor this site?!

Network protocols supported by HP LaserJet Pro 200 MFP M276nw

Hello,
I am about to buy the HP LaserJet Pro 200 MFP M276nw however I cannot find in its manual what network filesystems/protocols it supports for scanning to network folder.
I need it to be able to scan to a NFS share preferably or to a samba share.
Can anyone confirm this printer is able to do this?
Regards.

Here is a link that will help get you the manual for this printer.

Hello @KeithGilabert
You may only use the network cable (Ethernet) or Wireless as the connection to your computer(s). Both of the connections together cannot co-exist, unlike USB and Wireless, which is possible.

Color Laserjet Pro 200 MFP Print Menu

When I use my iMac 27 with this printer, I don't see all the print options in the print menu in Preview etc. that are mentioned in the User Guide. No "Color/Quality" options/Advanced etc. to change. I have downloaded and installed the latest drivers from HP. I am using OS X 10.9.4. Am I doing something incorrectly or missing something. The product is working fine otherwise.
This question was solved.

Hi jerryoster,
It sounds to me from your description that you might be using the Mac AirPrint driver instead of the HP driver. I suggest the follow;
Reset Printing System
Click the Apple icon (   ), and then click System Preferences.
In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.
Right-click (or  Ctrl  +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
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.
hen you add the printer, ensure you are using the HP driver, not the AirPrint driver.
Select Add other Printer or Scanner
Select the printer you are adding and next to 'Use' you can the printer driver
Please let me know if this resolves the issue. If you require further assistance, let me know which LJ 200 model you have (How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?), and if you have downloaded and installed the full feature software and driver from the HP website.

I have given permissions to all and after share a folder it appears as shared... but does not work.
The OS is Windows 7. Hope you can help me with this because I will use a lot the scan to shared folder option.
Thanks in advance,
Fran

Hi skile88,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I understand you are unable to setup the scan to network.
I will be happy to help you.
It is usually a issue with the Network Path for the network folder created.

Right click the folder and left click properties, select the Sharing tab, click the Share button, select who you want to share the folder with or everyone. On the same Sharing tab copy the Network Path. (example \\envy1730\users \Envy\desktop\networkfolder
In the embedded web server for the printer go to the Scan tab, select network folder setup, paste in the path for the network folder. Go through the wizard.
If those steps don't work then follow steps 1, 2, 3, to resolve this issue to try and get the network folder and path.

•If the user account is not password protected, click Create a password for your account to create a password, and then continue to the next step.
Step two: Define the network location
1.Click the Windows icon, then click Control Panel.
2.Click Network and Sharing Center.
3.In the View your active networks section, click Public network under your network name. The Set Network Location window opens.
4.Select Home Network or Work Network, then click Close.
Step three: Make sure that the network sharing and discovery options are correct
1.Open the Network and Sharing Center window.
2.Click Choose homegroup and sharing options.
3.In the Share libraries and printers section, select Documents.
4.In the Other homegroup actions section, click Change advanced sharing settings.
5.In the Advanced sharing settings window, make sure that the following network options are turned on:
•Network discovery
•File sharing
•Public folder sharing (read and write access)

LaserJet Pro 200 MFP M276nw

Have had this printer less than four weeks, had been printing fine. Now the ink comes out in globs all over the paper with no writing. After it drys, you can literally peel off the flakes of printing material. I paid too much money for this product to have this kind of problem. And trying to find an actual phone number to speak to an actual person at HP is impossible. I do not have time for this. Anyone have a solution?

The document here may help. If you are in the US you can call HP at 1-800-HPINVENt, elsewhere see the document here for contact information.

HP Laserjet Pro 200 color MFP skipping even pages when scanning

my scanner skips ever other page when scanning. noticed other posts regarding a different model and wondering if there is a fix out there for the Laserjet Pro 200 MFP??? Please and Thank you!!

Hi jbogda,
I see by your post that the printer skips every other page when scanning. I can help you.
Do you have the Laserjet Pro M276 printer?
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
I believe that you are scanning from the ADF, multiple pages and the feeder isn't pulling in the pages properly. Please clarify if I am incorrect.
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.
I have provided a document with some steps to try to see if that will resolve the issue.

LaserJet pro 200 color MFP M276nw - Scan setup and installation on Mac Yosemite

Hi all,
I just bought a new LaserJet pro 200 color MFP M276nw and I'm trying (since 4 days) to coorectly install it.
My target would be to use it through the wifi connection and I correctly set it by the front panel.
When I try to install the printer by wifi, I can install the print driver but I can't find the scan driver.
I tried connecting it by ethernet and the system point out a multifunction scanner and printer driver. If use them, it works correctly.
Whenever I pull out the lan cable to use it by wifi it lose the scan functions.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Gianluigi

Hi @gianluigi1982 ,
I see that you are experiencing issues scanning over the wireless network, but you can scan by a Ethernet connection.
I would like to help.
What drivers did you install for the printer? (Apple Update or the 10.9 download drivers)
I checked our Lab computer with 10.10 installed on it and I was able to scan through Printers and Scanners over the Wireless network.
Check the driver version installed.
Go to the Apple, System Preferences, Printers and Scanners, highlight the Laserjet, click on the Print tab on the right side of the window and select Options and Supplies.
On the General tab it will list the driver version.
19.9 is the one listed on the lab.
What driver do you have showing?
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name.
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the printer's name. (Laserjet Pro 200 MFP M276)
If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
On the Printers and Scanners window, highlight the printer on the left side, on the right side of the window you should have a Print/Scan tab, click on Scan, then Open Scanners and test the scanning. If you don't have the Scan tab, let me know.
Did you add the printer as a Bonjour printer or through the IP Protocal? (can't scan through IP Protocal)
Are you using the automatic IP address, or your own Static IP address?
Here is some information for Scanning in OS X v10.10 Yosemite Without HP Software.
Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.

LaserJet Pro 200 colour MFP M27nw - problem to scan from ADF

I seem a new LaserJet Pro 200 colour MFP M27nw running on a PC with Windows 8 and have just realised that whenever I scan from the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF), no output file is generated. The original document is drawn into the document feeder successfully and the printer display reports that the scan is ready. However, no file containing the scan is generated. This happens irrespective of whether I send the output to USB or to email and irrespective of whether the original document has single or multiple sheets.
Interestingly, the ADF works well if I try to produce hardcopies, that is, the printer is able to drawn in the sheets o fthe original document from the ADF (be it single or multiple sheets), and produce hardcopies of the original successfully. Moreover I have no problem to scan single or multiple sheet documents when the original document is loaded through the Flatbed Scanner rather than the Document Feeder Scanner.
Appreciate any help. Thanks
Stephen

HI @StephenScerri ,
I see by your post that when you scan from the ADF there is no output file containing the scan that is generated to USB or to email. You can copy from the ADF and scan successfully from the flatbed. I would like to help.
Is this printer the Laserjet Pro 200 MFP M127nw?
I have provided a document for How to Scan: Windows 8.
When you scan from the ADF, do you get a scan preview from the computer software?
Or is it previewing the scan but not saving it to the computer?
What software are you using to scan with?
Try saving the scan to the computer, if you are getting a preview, to see if it will save the scan there.
Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.
Have a great day!

Hello @OLAAT ,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand you are having some issues printing over the wireless network to your LaserJet 200 MFP M276. It seems to me, since the printer will print from your Sony Xperia ZR, and the error icon is on the computer, you need to look into computer support for that question.
I was able to find a document that may help with the wireless connection issues on the computer. Troubleshooting Your Wireless Network and Internet Connection (Windows 7)<---
If the above doesn't help, I would suggest posting the inquiry in the laptop Forum's.
Regarding printing from phones and what software is needed, it is dependant of the phone. Some phones, like Apple, have AirPrint pre-installed. You would be able to install and try the HP ePrint App on your phone, if available in its App store.
This guide: Getting Started with HP ePrint Mobile Apps, will explain more about the App.

LaserJet Pro 200 M276nw Scan to Computer

I have just taken delivery of my new HP LaserJet Pro 200 MFP M276nw. The printer software is installed on the computer. All set up and working fine except for the printer's "Scan to Computer". I am using Windows 7. On the printer's Scan Menu there are four options: Scan to USB; Scan to Network Folder; Scan to Email; Scan to Computer. The first three work perfectly. the "Scan to Computer" gives the error message "no computer found". The instruction to resolve the issue is to ensure that the HP Printer software is installed on the computer (it is) and that "Scan to Computer" is enabled. There is no "Scan to Computer" listed in the software so it cannot be enabled.
I know I can scan from the computer but (i) I would like to use the "Scan to Computer" feature that shows in the printer screen menu.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Sally

Welcome to the HP Forums Cloyne,
I see by your post that you aren't able to scan to computer, the Mac is never recognized as a possibility in the Scan to Computer menu. I can help you with this.
Please provide the firmware version on the printer. Printing a Configuration Report.
The latest firmware online is 2014-06-04 , Version20140521.
Here is a document which shows the features available for scanning from the control panel.
The scanning to computer isn't listed. This model didn't originally come with this feature.
How to Scan: From the Control Panel (Including Scan to Email, to a PDF, and to a Network Folder).
I will check into this further, to find out if the new firmware allows this feature.
Have a nice day!
