Ipad wireless connection to Color Laserjet pro MFP M177

Struggling on set up. The printer seems to require a network through which to wirelessly connect to my IPAD. But my IPAD runs on 3G and is not part of any network in my office. I already have the IPAD connecting to a HP printer at home where there is a network, but not at my office location. so ive already got the HP eprint App up and running, but it cant identify the printer, which is switched on (but which is asking for me to select a network). So can anyone direct me as to how I wirelessly (no other way with an IPAD) connect my IPAD to my brand new Laserjetc Pro MFP printer ? Mny tks

Hi,
You should either plug the printer to your network via an Ethernet cable or wirelessly by running the installation on a PC, then connect the iPad to the same wireless network as the printer.
If you do not have a wireless network at the office you may also use the Wireless Direct feature of the printer by following these steps:

  • HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177 Series Fax sends but won't receive faxes

    I can send faxes using HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177 Series Fax but I cannot receive them. I have faxed test pages and the setup is correct. Any suggestions?

    Hello DBrad8,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand you're unable to receive a fax using the Laserjet MFP M177. I will do my best to assist you! First, I need to find out what type of added features do you have on your fax line? Please post these information on this thread.
    Do you have an answer machine on this line? If so, how many rings to answer is this set to?
    Do you have an Internet Service on this line?
    Please follow this entire HP document on Cannot Send or Receive Faxes. Run a fax test page and let me know if everything passed or if anything failed. I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!

  • New color laserjet pro mfp m177 will not scan or copy

    Product is new. The problem is that this unit will not scan or copy.  I downloaded the latest drivers, but they would not install completely.  I also ran thru some trouble shooting guides on the HP website, but still it doesn't work.  It tries to make a copy, but it acts like it starts and then stops without completing the function.  It's almost like the scanner mechanism is stuck.  Anyone ever have this problem with a brand new printer?

    Hello , Thanks for posting in the HP Forums, and welcome! I understand you are unable to make a copy or scan on your new HP Color LaserJet Pro M177fw MFP. I'd like to help you with this. Firstly, do you have the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or is it in a surge protector or power bar? Even if you have been using a surge protector/power bar all this time and you feel it is not the cause, please connect it to a wall outlet just so we can eliminate the power source as the root cause. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector
    In this document you will see, ISSUE: Problems or issues may arise when an HP LaserJet series printer is connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), a power strip, or a surge protector
    ^ This is not limited to Laserjet printers. If the issue persists, I would suggest download and installing the most recent firmware for your unit. You can download the firmware update utility here:HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw Firmware UpdateNote: You will need to connect the printer via USB to update the firmware, as any interruption during the firmware update can cause more issues. If this still does not resolve the issue, please let me know if you are getting some sort of error message on the screen or any blinking lights to indicate what the problem may be. Hope this helps!

  • Wireless Connection Problem with Laserjet Pro MFP M126nw (HELP) :(

    I have Laserjet Pro MFP M126nw just bought it last day.
    Everthing working fine but i can't able to connect it to my wireless router via WPS PushButton or PIN tried both many times but failed.
    I also reset my Router even changed the security level to

    Please help its urgent!

    Hi @AjayKareer, 
    I understand that you are unable to setup the printer on the wireless network. I can help you with this.
    Make sure the network name doesn't have any spaces or special characters. The printer won't recognize it.
    Restore the printer defaults.
    On the printer control panel, press the Setup button.
    Press the Right Arrow, to select the Network Setup, and then press OK.
    Press the Right Arrow, to select the Restore Defaults, and then press OK.
    I have provided a document with some steps for setting the printer up on the network.
    Installing the Printer Software on a Wireless or Wired (Ethernet) Network.
    Configure the wireless by a Ethernet connection if the issue persists.
    Print a configuration page to get the printer's IP address.
    Printing a Configuration Report.
    Then type the IP address into Internet Explorer's address bar to bring up the printer's web page.
    Select the networking tab, wireless on the left hand side.
    Fill out all your network information, select infrastructure, select your network name, put in the password and type of Encryption if you have this setup or Open for no password. Apply settings.
    Then disconnect the Ethernet cable.
    Then wait a minute to see if you get a wireless light on the printer, print the configuration page and check the IP address again. Then type the IP address into Internet Explorer's address bar to bring up the printer's web page. That way you will know that the printer is now networked.
    Then run the installation.

  • HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw fax to pc

    I have just bought this printer and want to msend faxes to my pc.  I was told by PC world that it had this function.  So far I cant find it can anyone help.  Many thanks  

    Hi ,  I would be happy to help shed some light on the issue your are having with trying to setup this Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw to receive your faxes on your PC.  I have looked into this further for you, and I'm pretty sure this model doesn't support receiving faxes on your PC. You can double check to make sure I haven't missed it in the  COLOR LASERJET PRO MFP M177 User Guide.
    I did however locate a different model, where in the manual does provide instructions on how to set this feature up but it is a black only printer. Its the LaserJet Pro MFP M225dw (again black only, no colour.) 
    Step 5 (Optional): Configure settings for receiving digital faxes (Windows) The product can save incoming digital faxes to a computer folder. Use the HP Digital Fax Setup Wizard to configure the settings. This feature is available only for Windows. 1. Click Start, and then click Programs. 2. Click HP, click the name of the product, and then click Digital Fax Setup Wizard. 3. Follow the on-screen instructions to configure the settings.  HP also has this feature available on it's HP Officejet Pro 8610/8620/8630 e-All-in-One Printers, which are Colour Inkjets. Some of the commerical products also support this feature but I'm unsure of which ones. I would really suggest contacting HP Shopping for more information on these models.  Hopefully this has answered your questions, and please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.   Thanks,

  • 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.

  • Hp color laserjet pro mfp m177fw (Cant open SCANNER on computer)

    Hi there,
    I am using a desktop 27 inch Mac with OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
    When I go to system preferences and click on printers/scanners I can see my mfp m177fw laserjet printer (wirelessly connected fine). But unlike on my Macbook Pro laptop on my desktop there is no SCANNER option to open up?  Thus I am unable to scan from the printer to this desktop. I have the latest HP driver installed on the desktop computer for my m177fw printer.
    Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated
    thanks!

    Hello @Simonjayh,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I would like to assist you today with resolving the scan issue that you're experiencing since installing your HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw on your Mac OS X 10.10 computer. Can I please have you run through the steps below to get this product functioning properly again for you.
    Step 1: Uninstall Drivers:
    First, can I please have you click here and run through the steps provided to Reset the Print System on your Mac OS X 10.10 computer. Please refer to the section under 'Resetting the printing system in OS X Lion' as the steps are the same for your Mac OS X 10.10 Operating System. Resetting the Print System will remove every printer from your Print & Scan window on your computer. However, this does not uninstall the devices. Therefore, should you use other printers on your Mac OS X 10.10 computer simply ensure that they are plugged in with a USB Cable or Network connected and add (+) them back in. Do not add your HP Laserjet printer back in at this time.
    Next, please click here to access the steps on how to properly uninstall the Software and Driver Package for your printer. Once the website opens select the dropdown for 'Mac OS X v10.6, OS X v10.7, OS X v10.8, and OS X v10.9' as the steps are the same for your Mac OS X 10.10 Operating System. Once the uninstall has completed successfully, please proceed to the next step.
    Step 2: Verify and Repair your Disk Permissions on the Mac:
    Open Macintosh HD and go to Applications
    Go to the Utilities Folder
    Open the Disk Utility
    Select the Hard Drive volume you are using (usually on the left)
    Select Verify Disk Permissions
    Once that process is done, select Repair Disk Permissions
    Step 3: Check for Apple Updates:
    Go to Apple
    Select System Preferences
    Select Software Update
    Click Update Now
    Install your available updates
    Restart your computer
    Step 4: Reinstall your Software and Drivers:
    Lastly, please click here to download the appropriate Mac OS X 10.10 Full Feature Software and Driver package for you printer. Once the website opens select the Download button on the top left. Once the Download is complete please follow the onscreen steps to reinstall you printer.
    Once your printer has been successfully reinstalled, please test the HP Scan functions again. For additional scan information, you may want to refer to : Scanning with the Full Feature HP Software in OS X v10.10 Yosemite
    Please respond to this post with the result of your troubleshooting. I look forward to hearing from you!

  • HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw Scanning

    I bought and jsut setup an HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw.  
    We are a Mac household, and we connect via wireless to the printer, which works great. 
    My issue is scanning.  On the little screen on the printer, I can copy, print and even fax.  No option for scanning.  There is some bullsh*t app that I've had to download via HP called Readiris, which is useless.  There is no apparent way to initiate a scan via this app. 
    So I've bought a multifunction printer that doesn't scan.  Any help?  

    It doesn't scan?! 
    Below is the text from the first page of the first link one clicks on about this printer.  How _on earth_ is one supposed to deduce pre-purchase that it doesn't scan from the main menu?  Argh.  As an HP employee myself, this is aggravating in the extreme. 
    Ok, venting aside, this link <http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03967506#N229> is not offering a solution. 
    I am running OSX 10.9.1. I am unable to find the Full Driver to donwload in order to connect to this printer in a manner that would enable any of the 3 methods of scanning (Via Preview, Image Capture, etc.) to work.  Can you please provide a link to the Full Driver for this MFP M177fw for Mac OSX 10.9?  Thanks.

  • Mac cannot detect scanner option on HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw after trying every method

    Hello,
    I have recently purchased the new printer HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw and I am having a lot of trouble trying to scan. I have spend hours trying to fix this.
    I have tried all the methods on this website, (trying through preview, printers and scanners (no scanner option showing) image capture, etc. I have also installed all the necessary drivers with no luck (CD and from HP website)
    Then I tried all the other methods that were listed, I have tried restarting, deleting drivers and proceeding through image capture, preview and sanner and printers,  it just does not have scan option anywhere.
    The printer is working fine though, and I am connected to the printer through wifi
    I do not know what else to try, please help.
    Kinds regards
    Zhanna

    Hi @student ,
    I see by your post that you aren't able to scan through the wireless network. I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
    When you added the printer, did you add it as a Bonjour printer or did you have to type in the IP address and add it through IP Protocal? The reason I am asking is because when adding the printer through IP Protocal you can only print, your not able to scan with the printer added this way.
    Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. It should list just the printer's name. (HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw )
    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 should show the name.
    If the printer name isn't listed properly, 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. (you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in)
    If you are still having issues, uninstall the printer software.
    Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    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.
    Empty the trash.
    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 install the printer software again. HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M176/M177 Series Software.
    If the issue persists, connect the printer directly to the Mac and try and scan through a USB connection. Just to rule out a network issue.
    Please let me know the outcome.
    Have a fantastic day!

  • Color laserjet pro MFP M177fw loses IP address

    New Color Laserjet Pro MFP M177fw keeps losing the IP address so my computer won't print via wireless. What to do?

    Hi markfanderson12,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I understand the printer keeps losing the IP address.
    I will be happy to help you.
    When the printer is installed on a network, (wired or wireless) the router assigns it an IP address.
    However this IP address can change for various reasons. Most of the time the printer software will often adapt to the new IP address and printing functions will carry on as normal but the scanner software will not.
    I would setup a static IP address for the printer once it is back on the network again to resolve this issue.
    Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection. Go to Solution three: Assign the printer a static IP address.
    At the bottom, select Additional information for Tips for troubleshooting  a wireless connection.
    Hope this helps.
