HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401dn

Good time of day. I have a problem with the printer. It should be the latest firmware of the printer. The printer goes into standby mode. Send a print job, the printer comes out of sleep mode. And for a long time thinking and prints. About page per minute print. Turn off then turn it on and it starts to work normally. Help me.

  • LaserJet Pro 400 M401dn - 79 SERVICE ERROR

    We have only had this printer less than a year and I am getting a 79 SERVICE ERROR.  I have power cycled, unplugged and all the normal tries... no go.  It will print the menu map but will not accept a print job from a user. I try to get to the printer page on HP.com but it errors out so I cannot get to any of the support docs for the model.  Anyone out there have a suggestion? 

    I ran into this same problem with the LaserJet M401dn. I noticed this issue occured when the printer was hooked up to the PC via USB. I followed HPs steps on trying to fix this problem and needless to say, their steps weren't worth a hill of beans. The printer is working now now via these steps that I'm going to list. 1) Restart the printer with only the power cord being attached. If you're STILL getting the 79 error service, then it is most likely a firmware issue. Luckily for me it wasn't. The printer started right up as it should.2) If your printer starts right up, attach an Ethernet cable from the printer to your router/switch/DSL or cable modem.3) Select the Network icon on your printer screen and check to see if your printer has authenticated to the network and lists an IP address. If you're on a home network the IP address will show something like 192.168.x.xx. 4) Once connected to the network you'll run a firmware update. Click on your Settings icon, select LaserJet Update, Check for Updates Now. Continue by selecting the update and download and install. After the firmware installs, at this point you might be able to get the printer to work by hooking the USB cable back up to the printer. I on the other hand did  a couple other steps before hooking the printer back up. 5) I installed all of the Windows Updates (critical), updated Java6) Uninstalled the HP printer software for the M401dn and restarted the PC7) THIS STEP IS NOT FOR THOSE THAT AREN'T FAMILIAR WITH EDITING THE REGISTRY. If you have no knowledge of how to edit your registry, then PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT this. Have someone with knowledge do this step. I, nor HP can be held responsible for any mistakes that you make with this step. DO AT YOUR OWN RISK. In the registry I searched for Packard and deleted all Keys or entries that had M401 listed. DO NOT DELETE THE KEY IF IT DOESN'T LIST M401, as there are Hewlett-Packard printer drivers that are built into the operating system and they do show up in the registry.I ran through the registry twice searching for any sign of the printer driver being installed. Restart the computer again.8) Reinstall the HP LaserJet Pro 400 M401 Printer Series PCL6 Print Driver that is relevant to your PC. (Sorry, I don't know how to deal with Macs.) DON'T download the Full Software and Drivers or the one WITHOUT the installer. Don't use the disc to install the drivers either. Just download the most recent version of the software from HPs website. Install the software and attach the printer when asked to do so. Hopefully you're golden at this point just like I was! If for some reason this doesn't work for you, I would format your hard drive and reinstall Windows and all of your software. Apparently there is something within the registry or on your computer that is keeping the printer from working. I hope this helps you all out!

  • HELP! My HP LaserJet Pro 400 color MFP M475dn printer will NOT print!!!!

    HP LaserJet Pro 400 color MFP M475dn- CE863A
    Printer is on a network and can connect to multiple computers that include: Mac OS X, Windows 7, and Windows XP.
    When I try to print from my iMac, the printer queue says "The printer is not connected".  When we try to print from the Windows computers, it just sits there in the queue and doesn't print.  When I go over to the printer itself and try to print either a demo page or a supplies page directly from it, it says on the screen that is printed it but nothing happens.  It doesn't hum or anything!  The port where the network cable is connected is lit green which HP says that means that the network cable is connected.  We have had this printer for a year now and something like this has never happened.
    I haven't switched any software or anything before this happened.  It was working fine on Saturday when we were using it, but when we came into work today, it just decided it would stop printing!
    I am stumped!  I tried 'pinging' the printer's IP address from my iMac and it pings just fine.  Does anyone have any tips?
    (I tried doing the obvious too- like turning the printer on and off and shutting the computers down- and nothing!)
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    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!!

    I would try pulling up the embedded web server (EWS) by entering the IP address for the printer in to a browser and set a static IP address & DNS. 
    The information for the default gateway, subnet mask and that IP address can be accessed from the Setup menu on the front panel,  go to Setup>> Reports>> Network summary  and that will print it off.
    Once you have entered the IP in to a Browser and have the EWS pulled up, navigate to the tab at the top labeled “Networking”. Then click on IPv4 in the left column; that will bring up the Address configuration page.  Set the radio button to manual and fill out the IP address, Default gateway and Subnet mask with the information from the report. Do not worry about filling out the portion titled WINS server, that can be left alone.
    You will then want to fill out the DNS portion of the page, The Preferred should be set to 8.8.8.8 and the alternative/secondary should be set to 8.8.4.4. Then click “apply”
    Power cycle the printer. Turn it off, wait 30 seconds and then turn it back on. Once it is completely up and running reattempt to connect to web services.

  • 2nd fax won't work at Laserjet Pro 400 MFP M425DN

    I have recently bought the HP Laserjet Pro 400 MFP M425DN, which is working almost fine.
    The problem is when i do want to send a fax, it will send it, but after that the second fax won't be able to send. I just get the message 'communication error'.  Also, the beep-sound the machine makes when you normally push a button on the touchscreen, becomes REALLY soft instead of a hard beep.
    The only way to solve this problem is to open the papertray and close it again. This is annoying due the fact that i have to send more than one fax a at time.
    PLEASE help

    Hello try to send the first fax then push home button and then send second fax

  • HP LaserJet Pro 400 color Printer M451dn won't print

    My HP LaserJet Pro 400 color Printer M451dn stopped printing after a short usage of non hp toner. How do I get this printer to accept these toner cartridge ? My 3600dn never has a problem

    If you are using non-HP toner cartridges, then I would say that the onus is on the supplier of these to resolve the problem.
    Or to accept that these cartridges aren't quite as compatible as they've no doubt been advertised to be.

  • LaserJet Pro 400 color MFP(m475dw) needs rebooting to scan to network folder

    If our LaserJet Pro 400 color MFP(m475dw) sits overnight or for a good majority of the day without scanning to a network folder it will need to be rebooted before it will connect to the folder.
    I have tried adding a different folder and the same issue occurs.  The printer is connected to the network via wireless connection.
    Once the printer has been power cycled the scanner now works fine to the network.
    I would like to figure out why this is necessary and find a fix for it.

  • HP LaserJet Pro 400 MFP M425dn won't print text at 72 point size or larger

    My workplace recently purchased an HP LaserJet Pro 400 MFP M425dn all-in-one printer. It works excellently with the exception of the fact that it won't print text that's 72 points or larger in size. I've tried numerous fonts that're pre-installed with Windows, and all of them print properly at point size 71.5 or smaller; anything else simply doesn't show up in prints. The content that's sized at 72 points or higher *does* affect the flow of other printed content on the page, however. It's like the 72-point or larger text is occupying space, but it's completely invisible on the printed page. I've tested this using Microsoft Word 2002 on three separate computers, two of which have Windows 7 installed and one of which has Windows Vista installed. The problem is identical on all three computers. The printer is connected via ethernet cable to our wired network. I've installed the included printer software, and I don't believe that there are any updates to it that weren't installed up to this point. Any thoughts on how to resolve this issue?

  • Laserjet Pro 400 MFP M425DN Can not connect to HP Web Services

    I have a Laserjet Pro 400 MFP M425DN  printer on a network running windows 7 and we Can not connect to HP Web Services. When we use the display on the menu it comes back with error "Internal Processing error, try again or check firmware update"  We installed the new firmware but still get the same message. IF type in our printers IP address into our browser we get the info on our printer but if we go to the HP web services tap and click enable it trys but come back with a "connection error"
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I just updated my Firmware on this printer today to the latest version dated May 3 2013 and  Web Services
    worked.  Had the same type of problem you had for months and had worked with HP but could never get
    Web Services to work at my location with my Modem/Router. 
    Had tried at other locations and it would work with the old Firmware.  But for some reason it did not at my
    location with the Modem/Router I was using. 
    Again the latest Firmware fixed it.  I tried all the other solutions that I had found on the internet and non of them worked.

  • HP Laserjet Pro 400 color printer M451dn Driver needed

    I need to install an HP Laserjet Pro 400 color printer.  When I plug in the USB - it provides a driver which I can open and get to the install process -  The process takes me to the point of plugging in the USB and starts to install.
    After 10 minutes and getting to 99% complete the install stops because it is taking to long.
    I have searched for the driver on the web site but when I click on the printer name - the HP web site goes into an
    Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
    Need help with installing this printer - this printer is only available to me by USB

  • Laserjet Pro 400 color MFP M475dw print in black and white

    Hello,
    I have a Laserjet Pro 400 color MFP M475dw printer that is contected to a network so that multiple users can print from it. I want to be able to restrict it so that they can only print in black and white and double sided. Is this possible? and if so could you please tell me how?
    I am not able to restrict them on a print by print basis, hence I am looking for a solution where I only have to make the change once.
    Thanks for your help!

    I understand you want to change a setting one time so that no matter who is sending the printer a print job it prints in gray scale.  Actually I found two ways to do it.  Here is the basic way to do it as described on page 16 of the User Guide.  Also, you could set up this printer to receive emails (ePrint) in gray scale only.  I just did a test after making changes in my ePrint settings at www.eprintcenter.com and no color was printed on a regular document containing color.  I hope that answers your question.  If not, let me know. I will be happy to explain greater detail.
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
