HP Laserjet Pro MFP M12fn, printing a solid black line on every paper

I'm running windows 7 professional. I haven't received any error messages and nothing out of the oridarny has happened. My printer/scanner/fax/copy (My HP Laserjet Pro MFP M12fn, product # CZ181A) is printing with a black line down the entire paper, but its only doing it thru the feeder and not on the glass. HELP, How can I fix this? 

Welcome to the HP Forums angelinaOO7,
I read your post, which indicates that you are getting a black line down the page when using the feeder. You can print fine from the glass. I can help you with this.
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.
Clean the scanning glass and platen.
Turn the printer off.
Disconnect the power cord from the product and the wall outlet.
Open the scanner lid.
Clean the following scanner areas with a soft cloth or sponge that has been moistened with nonabrasive glass cleaner.
Main scanner glass.
Small scanner glass to the left of the main scanner glass.
White plastic backing.
Dry the glass and white plastic backing with a chamois or a cellulose sponge to prevent spotting.
Plug the power cord into the product and the wall outlet.
Turn the printer on.
Try to make another copy.
If you are still having issues, then update the printer's firmware.

Select your operating system, click next, click the link for firmware.
If you need further assistance, let me know.
Have a wonderful day!
Thank You.

  • How to enable WebScan feature in LaserJet Pro MFP M126nw Printer

    I have installed a new LaserJet Pro MFP M126nw printer with wireless configured. The IP Address is 192.168.0.21. I visit http://192.168.0.21 through browser. I don't see Print/Copy/WebScan options there. I can see rest of the configuration tabs.
    I am interested in WebScan feature to scan document from my Chromebook. Please let me know how to enable this.

    Hi,
    The Webscan feature is not available on laser printers, it is only available on Inkjet printers.
    I afraid you can only print from a Chromebook, scanning to a such is not supported with the HP Laserjet Pro MFP M126 printer.

  • HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw Printer always cool-down mode

    Hi there, i am also meeting with the same issues like the cooldown mode printing.

    Hi , I found something written by  that you may find helpful regarding the printer going into cool down mode: 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 Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw Drivers. Where is the printer located? (enclosed shelf, desk)How many pages are you printing when you get this message?What is the paper's weight and what kind of paper are you using?  If the issue persists, please post back with the answer to the above questions.  Thanks.   

  • HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw doesn't print under user account. Windows 7 Pro x86

    Dear Sirs,
    We found a bug using HP CLJ Pro MFP M177fw on windows 7 pro 32-bit edition.
    In our company we use custom folder to keep temporary files of all user accounts. It is C:\temp. So in the environment variables window we have user variables TEMP and TMP with the C:\temp path. System variables TEMP/TMP are the same.
    After installing MFP's driver, under accounts with administrator rights we can print normally. But when we use account with user rights print doesn't work. Trying to print windows test page, we receive error message "Test page failed to print" and spooler state is clean. When we change user variables TEMP/TMP on default %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp,  we can print testpage successfully.
    With older model HP CLJ Pro MFP M175 we have no trouble at our customized operating systems.
    Can we hope on fixing print driver with regard to this problem?

    I just bout the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw printer today and don't know how to use the scanner. I use Windows 8 operating system. Please advise how to use th scanner function. Thanks.  

    Hi, From page #38 of the manual: Scan by using the HP Scan software (Windows)

    2. Click Start, and then click Programs (or All Programs in Windows XP).
    3. Click HP, and then select your product.

  • HP Laserjet Pro MFP M125A " A Fatal Error Occured Preventing Product Use" on Window XP SP3

    Dear Friends,
    I really need your help on this issues, recently company that i been working buy 19 Unit of HP Laserjet Pro MFP M125A printer to be install at our 19 branches. All of our branches is using Window XP SP3 and the spec is exceed the minimum requirement stated at the box of the HP Printers which means by rights, it should be no problems.
    However, I sent and setup the printer at 4 branches only 1 is a success. others 3 centre is showing the same errors which is A Fatal Error Occured Preventing Product Use. I been trying to install using original CD provided by HP and driver provided at HP Support also given the same errors. The 1 Centre that OK PC spec is almost the same as the others 3 and all using default programs and software. So i dont knows what really is the problem.
    This is the things i have done in hoping to successfully install the driver but WITH NO SUCCESS:
    Clear temp file, disk cleanup, defragment disk and restart PC.
    Reinstall Windows SP3 and restart PC.
    Install basic driver only and using control panel > device and printer > add printer (Select Driver Manually). (See Pic Below)
    Repair windows using original windows XP SP3 CD.
    Re-Check for USB.INF file.
    Repair Registry with reg cure.
    Uninstall USB support and etc (Google), then re-install the printers.
    Uninstall Antivirus, disable all startup and services.
    Install using FULL DRIVER, BASIC DRIVER AND DRIVER MANUAL.
    Sometime when running the installer, it will prompt the below error signature and HP installer will loading quite long and then crash, but others PC don't have this errors, it straight away to the installation menu until DETECTING PRINTER until 99% and shows errors "A Fatal Error Occured Preventing Product Use".
    It seems that almost everythings i try cannot make the printer driver to be install. However, the SCAN driver is install successfully. Currently the printer only can PHOTOCOPY AND SCAN, without being able to print.
    Please anyone which facing similiar issues to HELP ME. anythings i can do, to install the printer DRIVER.
    THANKS!

    Hi @gendit ,
    I see that you are having issues installing several Laserjet Pro MFP M125A printers on several Windows XP computers. You are getting "A Fatal Error Occured Preventing Product Use". I can help you with this.
    What version of .NetFrameworks do you have? Check Your DOTNET.
    You might have to run the Windows Updates. I would update the .Netframeworks to 4.0.
    I believe HP software piggy backs Internet Explorer. Should have at least Internet Explorer 6.0.
    Please try these steps, most likely the wrong driver is getting installed, giving you the Fatal error.
    Disconnect the USB cable.
    Uninstall the printer software from the CD.
    Run the software again, immediately after connecting the USB cable, follow this document to update the driver before it errors out again. A Fatal Error Displays During Software Installation.
    If the issue persists, here is a document with some different steps to try.
    A 'Fatal Error' (MSI error) Displays on the Computer During HP Software Installation in Windows.
    Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.
    Have a wonderful day!

  • LaserJet Pro MFP M127fw ePrint failures

    We bought this printer several months ago.  My boss wanted a printer that could be printed to remotely.  I advised him to get one of the many Google Cloud Print ready printers out on the market, but the salesman at where ever he purchased this printer, told him the LaserJet Pro MFP M127fw was Google Cloud Print ready and that it also offered this amazing feature called HP ePrint.  The salesman was only half wrong.  Technically any printer is google cloud ready (at least in this braindead of a salesman's standards), as you just need to have it connected to a PC.  However, any notion that this printer is an ePrint printer is an outright lie.
    So that I don't get bombarded with the normal responses from the "HP Experts," let me list all of the steps I've done:
    First, few days I dealt with customer support.  Yes, dealt, as they were rude and ultimately had no information.  Even after the ticket got "escalated," the advanced tech support still had little to add.  I followed all of the steps for troubleshooting on the support pages as well as the forums.  I've changed to static ip's, google dns servers, power cycled all the devices, did a full printer system restore to bring it back to "out of the box" shape in terms of settings/firmware, tried wired/wireless/usb connections, changed routers, opened ports, disabled and reenabled web services, tried all of the above through the browser with direct ip settings prompts, updated firmware, and I'm sure countless other steps that I honestly don't even want to remember.
    I was told the web services e-mail given contains the claim code needed for www.hpconnected.com.  When inserting it as required when adding a device, you'll get Unexpected Error unless it's feeling frisky, and then it gives the Invalid Claim Code prompt.  Let's not forget that when I originally signed up, it was hpeprint.com, and when signing in, they took you on the wonderful whirlwind of a redirects from it to hpconnected and back, never getting past the sign in process.
    Eventually, I put this printer far far away from me.  Flash forward several months, and I've done all of the above and then some on top of updating to the latest firmware (which I had hoped would solve this issue finally).  Nothing.
    When enabling web services, no information page is printed.  When trying to manually do so, we just sit and spin on the Connecting... screen on the LCD.  If I try to do anything related to the web services features, I get the same result, except in the lovely times it changes to Unable to connect to server.. etc.  
    Outside of the ePrint issues, this device is really nice.  But it is in no shape or form, an ePrint printer.  Fact is, if I wanted this printer without the ePrint functions, I could have saved money I'm sure.
    While searching today for possible new solutions on the forums, I see the following thread:
    Eprint on HP LaserJet Pro M127fw
    An "HP Expert" advises this kid to use google cloud print, which although comical, is enraging.  This device has, and still is, being marketed as an HP ePrint featured printer.  You can see on the official HP website it's listed:
    HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fw
    or see the picture below. But as this other HP webpage shows, this printer is not listed as having these features:
    HP Web-Connected Printers
    If anyone has any useful advice, or can get me in touch with the Experts of all "HP Experts," I would love you to my dying breath.  But more than anything, I really just want to know if this printer has, or ever will, have these features available. Because having it promoted on the boxes, in stores, on the websites, even having the LCD show settings for these features is nothing less than infuriating.

    Hi sunrotor,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you have had some issues with setting up the ePrint feature of your Laserjet Pro MFP M127fw printer.
    Thank you for the very detailed post of things that you have tried. I had a customer who was able to connect with the ePrint servers when using a Level 3 Communications DNS server when trying to connect with their Laserjet Pro M125nw printer. I have included About.com’s list of Free & Public DNS Servers which the Level3 is the first one listed. Please try setting a manual IP address and manual DNS server for the printer using the Level3 servers instead of the public Google DNS servers.
    I have also included a post by @VisionAiry that lists all the Incoming and Outgoing Printer Ports. Please ensure that the ports are available for using ePrint.
    Please let me know how it goes.

  • Trouble initializing color laserjet Pro MFP M177fw wireless connection

    color laserjet Pro MFP M177fw - Printer was working for several months, now it will not print and when you power cycle it just shows initializing... but never finishes.  Using wireless network connection to a Windows 7 pc.

    Hello,
    I have provided the URL for doing a firmware update on the printer, but do it through a USB connection. Since the printer is in a error state though, it might not detect the printer to do the update. HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw.
    Select your operating system, click  Submit, click the link for firmware and then click on the Download button.
    I have provided some steps to try to see if we can resolve this issue.
    Disconnect the USB/Network/FAX and power the printer on Standalone.
    Check and remove any packaging material inside the printer and toner.
    Do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue, if you haven't already.
    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.
    If the issue persists, perform a power drain by disconnecting the power cord from the back of the printer and keeping the power button pressed for 30 seconds and in case of a power switch keep the switch in ON position for 30 seconds before reconnecting the power chord.
    I can send a private message with some another step to try.
