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.
I have provided a document for Windows 8, for How do I get into Windows Device Manager?
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a great weekend!
Thank You.

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.

Hp laserjet 100 color mfp m175a

I am having Hp laserjet 100 color MFP M175a when iam giving printer print is getting black paper

Hi,
Check for genuine or refilled toner cartridges.
Check the power condition, make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. And not power surge.
Try connecting the printer to a different location.
Hope this Helps

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.

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.
Thank You.

LaserJet 100 Color MFP M175nw with Windows 8.1

I have a LaserJet 100 MFP M175nw and I am currently using it with a PC that has Windows 8.1. Recently upgraded to 8.1. I bought the PC with Windows 8 and the scanner/printer worked great with that OS. So I have been having issues with the printing/scanner ever since the upgrade.
I have it set up to print and scan wirelessly. It would work intermittently and when it didn't, I would remove the drivers and re-install them. Now that no longer works. I can't even get it to work using a USB cable. I downloaded the latest version of the drivers both the full featured and the basic versions, tried them both to no avail. It goes through the install then it gets to 99% and takes a long time then I get a message with a red X that states,"Error," And the error message that goes along with it is that it timed out. Same with both USB or wireless installs. I read through some of the difficulties others' have been having and the last I saw was to uninstall and then re-install the driver. That has not worked for me. I also downloaded the Print and Scan doctor but no device was listed which does make sense since I have not been able to get through an installation.
I ran and printed wireless network test report on the printer and it mentioned that the printer couldn't find my wireless router. But I have internet access with all other computers in the house with no issues. I don't know how to tell my printer what SSID to search for and the password for my network. The install files included a utility to do that but did not help.
I am stuck and would welcome any suggestion(s).
Thank you,
Frank

Laserjet 100 color MFP M175a Mbook Air lion only detected as a "Scanner"

.printer not detected at all after installation.
message " failed to start session" appears when trying to launch scanner.
NO printer detected..
Tried all means..installed and unistalled ....reset printer pref...
What to do!

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.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
Get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.

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 need further assistance, just let me know.

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 .

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.

LaserJet 100 color MFP M175nw - how do I install a different driver on the server to which I RDP?

I have installed my LaserJet 100 color MFP M175nw on my (32-bit) Windows XP Pro SP3 PC via USB and it works fine. When I make it the default printer (I also have another HP printer installed locally) and use Windows Remote Desktop (RDP) to my server - which is (64-bit) Windows Enterprise without Hyper-V SP2 (2008 R2) it prints but some fonts show gobbledygook. The printer driver on the server is defaulting to "terminal services easy print". I have administrator privileges on the server and have, in the past, been able to download the appropriate driver to the server so that printing in the RDP session works. But now I only seem to be able to find installation software to download (not the actual drivers). So, when attempting to install the software (rather than copy it) on the server the installation waits for the local (USB) connection and won't proceed.
What is the best practices way to have the locally installed (fully functional) machine be able to print from an RDP session? I'm sure I shouldn't have to drag each new local printer to the server and install it locally with a USB cable.

Hi there IT _Mgr
Quick suggestion; This is a commercial product. I will suggest seraching for posible solutions and posting in the forum for HP Business Support for yet a better chance at finding a prompt solution.
You may find the commercial Laserjet board here.

Laserjet 100 color MFP M175nw wifi connection problem

Some days ago I bought new router Cisco RV 120W and HP Laserjet 100 color MFP M175nw and
I thought the configuration of these devices will go without a problem. But NOT. I get tired of wireless printing, already the second day. I am unable to establish a wireless connection with Laserjet as infrastructure.I've tried everything, connect via USB, I installed the HP driver from a CD and even setup printer via Ethernet cable. I was able to connect to the printer ad-hoc but that's not what I mean. I need my printer in network as infrastructure.
My router provides 802.11n WPA2 PSK with AES. HP Driver Installer can not set parameters of my wireless network, It is allows me to enter the network key but can not find the printer later on wireless connections. I was able to set the parameters of the wireless network by connecting by Ethernet, the printer feeds in the report that the wireless is turned on, connected, pront correct the name of the network, signal strength, but it can not be installed on Windows.
My router shows the DHCP clients (laptops, iPhones) but can not see the printer. Does the printer have a wireless network card damaged? Already checked all the options on the router and I have no ideas.

Hi yarzig
I understand you are unable to setup the wireless on the printer.
Make sure the computer is on the right network.
Disconnect the ethernet cable from the printer.
Restore the printer defaults.
On the printer select the setup button, right arrow to service menu, ok, right arrow to restore defaults, ok.
Print a configuration report to make sure there is no IP address and your network name. (SSID)
Go to the setup button (wrench) on the printer, right arrow to reports, select config report.
Now connect the ethernet cable from the printer to the router.
Wait about 1 minute and print the configuration page to get the IP address.
If you have a valid IP address for the printer try and access the embedded web server.
Type the IP address into internet explorer address bar.
If it loads the printer's network page then the printer is on the network.
Now we can setup the wireless connection.
Click on the Networking Tab, on the left select wireless, fill out the information. Apply the settings, once you get a reply back then disconnect the ethernet cable from the printer.
Should get a solid blue light on the printer.
Now run the add printer wizard.
If you are using Win 7, go to start, devices and printers, add printer, go through the wizard. Should find the printer and install the driver. If not then go to add printer, select local, select create a new port, click drop down and select TCP\IP, next, type in the printer's IP address. Continue the wizard.
Make sure the printer is online.
Test the wireless and see if you can now print.
If you require further assistance please provide the following so I can assist you
better.
What operating system are you using?
Here is a document to check your operating system for Windows.
Is this a laptop or desktop?
Is the computer wireless or hardwired to the router?
What network setup do you have? (Modem/router/2 routers/booster/airport/switch)

Ipad(4th gen) does not connect to Laserjet 100 color MFP M175nw for AirPrinting

Hi,
I have a problem with Laserjet 100 color MFP M175nw and Airprinting.
Ipad(4th gen) cannot connect to printer for AirPrinting.
Wireless Direct is set on in the printer.
When I choose to connect to printers own wifi network with my Ipad, it can't connect.
(Ipad doesn't show the wifi symbol on top left corner.)
And if I try to print with Safari, it says "AirPrint-tulostimia ei löytynyt" which means in english "No Airprint-printers found".
I have all installations by the guide book several times, but seems that this Airprint simple doesn't work.
Device Configuration show this:
Installed Personalities and Options
PCL6           (20040201)
AirPrint
PCL              (20040201)
PDF              (20040201)
PS                 (20040201)
I wonder why AirPrint has empty value? (what ever this might mean)
Br,
Heikki

Hi,
Thank you for your reply and first action plan to find a quick fix.
Unfortunatelly even though I disabled IPv6, it didn't fix the problem. Also reboot and WIFI restart has been tryed sevelar times without any help. Ipad Safari is still giving me a message "no airprint printer found".
Same problem also when I try to print so that both Ipad and printer are connected to my home WLAN/DSL-router.
I don't see any problems for the printer to connect my home WLAN, both printer and Ipad has received an IP address from the WLAN router.
My router model is Zyxel AMG1202-T10B.
Ipad is updated to it's latest SW version which is 7.0.6. and printer's firmware date is 20131028.
I have no problems printing with my Windows 7 desktop computer which is connected to same network as well.
Windows 7 PC is connected to router via Ethernet. Printer is connected to router via Wireless, not ethernet.

Laserjet 100 color MFP M175nw - problems connecting wirelessly to PC

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?
Thanks

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!!!!!
Hope this helps.

Engine error HP LaserJet 100 color MFP M175 PCL6 wireless

Hi folks,
I would like to help with the "engine error" you're experiencing. I would like you to download the HP LaserJet Pro Series Firmware Update Utility. With this utility we can install a firmware update for the printer hardware. Please read all the steps below before clicking the above link. If you are using a mac operating system Click here instead.
Flash Firmware Update Notes:
The Firmware Update Utility uses the USB connection to the printer.
The HP LaserJet 100 color MFP M170 series print driver software must be installed prior to using this utility.
The HP LaserJet 100 color MFP M170 series printer must be on and in a READY state as shown by the LCD display on the control panel and remain powered on during the entire firmware update process.
Depending on the processor speed of your pc, the firmware update process may complete on the printer before the update status progress bar in the flash firmware update utility on the pc screen completes, this is normal.
Once the update process has started, do not use your pc for any other activity until the process is complete.
Do not power cycle the product or the pc until the firmware update process is complete
Steps to take :
1. Download the flash firmware updater file by clicking the appropriate link above. (The first link is for Windows operating systems and the second is for Mac)
2. Turn the printer off and then back on to clear main printer memory.
3. Double click on the file M170_colorMFP_Series_FW_Update-20111021.exe flash firmware update utility file. An HP firmware update window will open.
4. Select the appropriate HP M170 MFP series driver in the dialog window. If you assigned a different name to the HP M170 MFP, choose the name that represents the correct printer.
5. Click on ""Send Firmware"" when ready to proceed.
6. The progress bar will begin to move to the right indicating information being transferred.
7. DO NOT power cycle the product or the pc during this process or the product may become unstable and or unusable without further attention from HP. The flash firmware update can take up to 5 minutes to complete. Please be patient.
8. During the product flash firmware update, the display on the product control panel will display ""Printing Document- Erasing - Programming - Complete - Hewlett-Packard - Ready - Initializing - Ready"". Once the download is finished the printer will be in the Ready state.
9. At the conclusion of the firmware update, the dialog window will show a smiley face. Click on exit.
10. The flash firmware update process is complete
Please let me know if this resolves the issue and/or if you would like further assistance.
Sunshyn2005

After each print job I get the message on printer screen "Engine error press [OK]" It will print again only after pushing Ok button. Is there a fix? HP printers have not been that reliable, I 'm will not buy onother if this cannot be fixed.
