Hi Fed_up123,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums.  I see that you are trying to connect your Laserjet 100 MFP M175a printer to your wireless network.
The Laserjet Pro 100 Color MFP 175a does not support wireless connectivity, it only supports USB connectivity.  The Laserjet Pro 100 Color MFP 175nw is the model of that printer that supports wireless connectivity.  For reference I have included the Printer Specifications.

  • Manual duplex printing doesn't work for LaserJet 100 color MFP M175a

    Hi !
    OS Windows 8.1. Printer LaserJet 100 color MFP M175a. Driver version 61.108.8.10073 date 2011 Apr 13th
    1. After switching on checkbox "Print on Both Sides (Manually)" on "Finishing" tab of Print Properties Dialog and
    start printing, dialog with instruction how to turn paper appears. Then printer must print odd pages, stop for
    turning paper and then continue printing of even pages on the back side of paper sheets. But my device prints
    all pages sequentually in order 1,2,3,... without any breaks. What is it- my mistake or possible bug in driver ?
    2. Windows API function DeviceCapabilities with fwCapability=DC_DUPLEX for this printer returns 0 (duplex printing
    impossible). This value for any other HP printer, even without automatic duplexer, always equel to 1.
    This question was solved.

    I see by your post that you are having issues manually printing two-sided. I can help you with this.
    The software for this model on Windows 8.1 is the Basic Solution Software and Driver. This basic software solution provides print and scan functionality only. Did you download and install the newest drivers?

  • 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 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!
    Chris

    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 100 Colour MFP M175nw

    Hellllllllpppp!
    I have a HP Laserjet 100 Colour MFP M175nw that was working ok in my previous home. i have now moved and have a new wireless network (4 months ago) and the printer will not connect to the wireless network.
    I have trawled these forums and tried every solution possible to no avail. The steps I have taken are as follows:
    1. Full uninstalled and re-installed the software over 20 times
    2. Hard-reset the Printer [Content Removed]
    3, Tried to connect via USB when prompted in the installation. The installation says that the printer is detected, then the operaton times out and a message comes up stating that the printer had not been sucessfully installed. Having said thatI did manage to print a document out last night, but having now turned the computer off and on again, any docs I send just get stuck in the print queue.
    4. I have tried connecting the device to my router via WPS (push button and pin) with  no success.
    5. I cannot plug an ethernet cable into the printer/router for a wired connection due to their location.
    Any help you could provide would be much appreciated.
    I am on the verge of throwing it out of the window!
    FYI I am running Windows 8.1 on an HP Envy Ultrabook

    Hi @Grainger85, 
    I can help you with setting up the printer again on the new wireless network.
    Print a configuration page to see if the printer has a valid IPV4 address.
    Printing a Configuration Report.
    If you have a valid IP address for the printer then try and access the Embedded Web Server for the printer.
    Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar. (Internet Explorer)
    If it loads the printer's network page then the printer is on the network.
    Check the IP address selected on the computer to make sure it matches the printer's IP address.
    Go to the start up screen, (tiles menu) type in "Devices and Printers", select settings, click on Devices and Printers.
    Right click the printer, go to printer properties, select the ports tab, click configure port. Check the IP address.
    If they don't match then close the configure port window and click add a port and follow the wizard.
    Type in the proper IP address.
    Make sure the printer is online.
    Try printing again.
    If the printer's Embedded Web Server didn't load, then please do the following:
    Restore the printer's network defaults:
    Touch the Setup button. (wrench)
    Select Network Setup Menu.
    Then select Restore Defaults.
    Print out a configuration report to make sure the IPV4 address is 0.0.0.0.
    Follow these steps to setup the wireless:
    On the printer touch the setup button, (wrench) then select network setup menu, select wireless menu, select wireless direct and turn it on.
    On the computer, in the bottom right corner click on the wireless icon and select the printer from the list to connect to.
    Then open Internet Explorer and type in the IP address (192.168.223.1) for the printer in the address bar.
    This will load the embedded web server for the printer.
    Select the networking tab, wireless on the left hand side.
    Fill out all your network information, select infrastructure, select your network name, put in password and type of encryption.
    Apply settings.
    Click on the wireless icon and connect back to your network name.
    Print out a configuration report to make sure the IP address is valid. (192... or 10....)
    You can uninstall and reinstall the printer software or just create a new port.
    To create a new port, in Devices and Printers, right click on the printer, select printer properties, select the ports tab, click  add a port and follow the wizard. Type in the proper IP address.
    Test the printer.
    Then I would setup a Static IP for the printer. This way the router won't reassign the printer another IPV4 all the time.
    Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. Go to Solution four: Assign your printer a static IP address.
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a nice day!

  • Hp laserjet 100 color mfp m175a suddenly very slow

    I have a HP LaserJet 100 color MFP M175a printer, which has always worked fine (except when in cool down mode). Suddenly, it has started printing extremely slowly - for example, last night I sent a document of 20 pages to print at around 9pm and was still waiting for it to finish at midnight!
    Nothing has been changed in the settings.
    What can I do to fix this?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Thanks for letting me know NOG55.
    Have you tried another USB cable? Just to rule that out.
    Try and print a hardware self test on the printer to find out if it is a hardware or software issue.
    On the printer select the Setup button, Reports, Config Report.
    Does that print slow or fast?
    If you are having this issue printing the hardware self test also, update the printer's firmware.
    Software & Drivers. Select your operating system, click next, click the link for firmware.
    If you are just having the issue printing from the computer, uninstall and reinstall the printer software.

  • Hp laserjet 100 color mfp m175nw not working anymore – MAC OSX YOSEMITE

    After installing the YOSEMITE update my hp laserjet 100 color mfp m175nw not printing anymore. Connection is USB. And OSX Drivers are all up-to-dae. Also i heared similar problems with other printers than HP.
    Any help? Thanks alot.

    Hi @Ankanb ,
    I understand that you are having issues since the Apple Security Update was done on the computer, after  uninstalling and reinstalling the software, you can't find the printer now.  I would be happy to help you.
    I have provided some steps to try, to see if we get the printer working again over the network.
    Print a Configuration page to see if the printer still has a valid IPv4 address.
    Printing a Configuration Report.
    If you have a valid IPv4 address for the printer then try and access the Embedded Web Server for the printer.
    Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar. (Safari)
    Did it load the webpage?
    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) Then click on the Add button.
    If you are having network issues, then add the printer through the IP Protocol.
    After clicking the + button, select the IP icon across the top, type in the printer's IP address, select jet direct below and then Apply. (you won't be able to scan but you will be able to print, this way we will know if it is a Multicasting issue, if the Mac sees the printer)
    If the Multicasting is turned off on the router, you won't be able to add the printer as a bonjour device.
    Test the printer.
    How is the printer connected?  (Ethernet/Wireless)
    If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know.
    Have a nice weekend!

  • Disabling LaserJet 100 color MFP M175nw as a wireless hotspot

    Hello
    Bought HP LaserJet 100 color MFP M175nw.
    It announces ( broadcasts) its wireless network HP-Print-74-LaserJet100.
    Which interferes with my other wireless network, and makes quality of signal lower.
    Is it possible to disable wireless hotspot feature on the printer?
    Wifi is disabled in setup (printer is connected by ethernet).
    Thank you in advance

    Hi rghw
    I will be happy to help you.
    To disable the wireless direct you can also do it right on the printer by going to the setup button (wrench) on the printer, right arrow to network setup menu,wireless menu, wireless direct, turn it off from there.
    The web server is to access the network page for the printer.
    To access the web server page, print out a configuration report from the printer by going  to the setup button (wrench) on the printer, right arrow to reports, config report to get the ip address for the printer.
    You type in the ip address for the printer in the address of bar of internet explorer to bring up the embedded web server for the printer.

    I have just bought a Laserjet 100 color MFP M175nw and cannot connect wirelessly to my home network.
    The installation goes to 99% and then gives an error message saying it took too long to connect, reboot and try again. Rebooted and tried again many times.
    I have downloaded the latest installation prog. with the same result.
    I have been able to connect with USB direct and can print, but not by Wi-Fi.
    I have been able to connect the printer to my rooter by ethernet cable and can print that way also.
    I am running Win 8.1 on a 64bit Lenovo computer.
    Please can you advise a solution?

    Hi,
    Yes. It's a bit embarrassing. Eventually, I went back to the instructions, and followed them to the letter for the WIFI setup -  and it worked .
    For me, the adage is true - "When all else fails, read the instructions."
    So embarrassing!!!!!

  • Installation of hp laserjet 100 color MFP M175a on windows 8.1

    During the printer setup, using the provided windows CD or via the Internet, after requesting for printer connection through the USB cable, the progress indicator stops at 99 percent and gives "fatal error". What do I do?

    Hi @jacobumoru,
    I see that you are getting a "fatal error" during the installation. I will certainly do my best to help you.
    I have provided some steps that should allow you to continue the installation without the error again.
    Run the installation, immediately after connecting the USB cable, follow the steps in this document to update the drivers so it doesn't error out again. A Fatal Error Displays During Software Installation. Then the installation should continue. Temporarily turn off any Antivirus Software, just to make sure it doesn't interfere with the install.

  • HP laserjet 100 color MFP M175a printer driver to be installed evry time when the printer is made on

    Hello,
    I am having the above mentioned printer. The problem with this printer is every time when I switch-on the printer its driver has to be installed then only I can start printing. The following is my PC configuration:
    MB: ConRoe865GV chipset, CPU: PIV, OS: XP-SP3.
    Could you tell me what can the problem.
    Also if by mistake the paper in the paper-tray gets finished the printer takes quite a long time to detect that new paper bunch is there in printer. Is there a way to minimise this paper checking process.
    Kindly awaiting your fast reply

    Hi @RajBob ,
    I see that you are experiencing a issue with the printer installing every time you turn it on, then you are able to print again. Also when the paper runs out, it takes a long time to detect the paper in the tray again. I would like to help you out today.
    The printer has a Smart Install built into the firmware. Disable the Smart Install Feature to see if that will resolve the issue of the computer detecting the printer every time it is turned on.
    Go to Setup, Service Menu, Smart Install and turn it off please.
    If you are not able to print after turning the printer back on again, download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
    For the paper not being detected right away, make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet and try to keep the tray filled at all times, but not over filled.
    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
    What operating system are you using? How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.

    If you are using Snow Leopard or Lion and have HP software for pre-Snow Leopard (either from a CD not marked as compatible with 10.6 or you recently upgraded to Snow Leopard or Lion and had the HP software on your Mac before you upgraded - even if you did a standard uninstall of the old software or installed new software over the top of it) you must uninstall the software using the 'scrubber' option:
    Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
    Click on Continue
    Highlight your device on the left pane
    Press and hold Control + Alt + Cmd keys on the keyboard simultaneously while you click on Uninstall <<<< This IS the Scrubber Option, there is no button labeled "Scrubber"
    There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
    Click Continue and let it finish
    Restart your Mac
    Download and install this: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907
    Now reset the printing system:
    - Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
    - Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
