Issue Printing One or Two Checks on HP LaserJet Pro 200 MFP M276nw

I just purchased an HP LaserJet Pro 200 MFP M276nw which replaces an HP Color LaserJet 2605dn.
I've run into an issue printing checkes from Quicken when I print less than a full sheet (one or two) checks.
With my old printer, I used the manual feed for a partial sheet.
Since the new printer does not have a manual feed, I have to put the partial sheet in the paper tray.
It seems one of two things happen:
1) Sometimes the printer will print the partial page but then displays an error message which says something like "Unexpected paper size, load letter."
It then re-prints the partial page on the next sheet of paper.
2) Othertimes, it prints the partial page without the error message, but then feeds the next sheet of paper throught the printer.
In either case the next page contains the next three checks, so it's either wasting checks or printing on the wrong check numbers.
Any suggestions on how to avoid these issues would be appreciated.

Me too.
I've been using an alternate printer for printing the checks, but I'd rather get rid of the old one. (The HP Laser Pro 200 takes up a lot of space!)
KC, Seems like you've been waiting for an answer for a VERY long time. I'm not going to hold my breath.
Hey HP! Do you ever monitor this site?!

HP Laserjet Pro 200 ColorMFP m276nw stopped printing

I installed my HP Laserjet Pro 200 Color MFP m276nw printer a couple of months ago and set it up for network printing. It has been working perfectly for everyone in my house until now. Everytime I try to print, nothing happens. Others in my household who are on the network can print. When I go to the Print Queue dialogue box, I get the message: "Printing--the printer is not responding." If I go into the Printers and Faxes application in System Preferences, it shows this printer as Idle. I have tried restarting my laptop (Macbook Air), turned the printer off and on, turned Wi-fi off and on, turned Bluetooth off and on, even tried connecting to the printer via cable. What else can I do?

Hi Robvale,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
From what you have described it sounds as though the print job are not leaving the print queue. I have included the document 'Can't Print? Print Jobs are Stuck in the Print Queue'. Please select you version of Mac, and follow through the steps listed.
If you are still having issues after this, please provide me with the version of Mac OS X you are running. I have included the document 'Finding your OS X version and build information', if you need it.
Looking forward to hearing from you.

Color Laserjet Pro 200 MFP Print Menu

When I use my iMac 27 with this printer, I don't see all the print options in the print menu in Preview etc. that are mentioned in the User Guide. No "Color/Quality" options/Advanced etc. to change. I have downloaded and installed the latest drivers from HP. I am using OS X 10.9.4. Am I doing something incorrectly or missing something. The product is working fine otherwise.

Hi jerryoster,
It sounds to me from your description that you might be using the Mac AirPrint driver instead of the HP driver. I suggest the follow;
Reset Printing System
Click the Apple icon (   ), and then click System Preferences.
In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.
Right-click (or  Ctrl  +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
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.
hen you add the printer, ensure you are using the HP driver, not the AirPrint driver.
Select Add other Printer or Scanner
Select the printer you are adding and next to 'Use' you can the printer driver
Please let me know if this resolves the issue. If you require further assistance, let me know which LJ 200 model you have (How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?), and if you have downloaded and installed the full feature software and driver from the HP website.

Hello @OLAAT ,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand you are having some issues printing over the wireless network to your LaserJet 200 MFP M276. It seems to me, since the printer will print from your Sony Xperia ZR, and the error icon is on the computer, you need to look into computer support for that question.
I was able to find a document that may help with the wireless connection issues on the computer. Troubleshooting Your Wireless Network and Internet Connection (Windows 7)<---
If the above doesn't help, I would suggest posting the inquiry in the laptop Forum's.
Regarding printing from phones and what software is needed, it is dependant of the phone. Some phones, like Apple, have AirPrint pre-installed. You would be able to install and try the HP ePrint App on your phone, if available in its App store.
This guide: Getting Started with HP ePrint Mobile Apps, will explain more about the App.

Phaser 3250DN drops off network after printing one or two pages

I have a Phaser 3250DN printer that has started dropping off the network after switched on and printing one or two pages. If I power cycle the printer, it comes back online, but then drops off the network again almost immediately so I can't print any more pages. The printer fails to respond to pings while in this state. The printer is 4 years old but has had >extremely< light usage. We've printed about one thousand pages total and is only turned on when we want to print something so most of the time it's physically powered off.

Network drop-offs can occur for a variety of reasons and be triggered by a variety of causes. You may want to make sure you are using the latest software release on the product, as well as check the network firewall configuration settings. In addition, sometimes disabling unused networking protocols can reduce traffic the device is exposed to and ease the burden if traffic volume is what is shutting down the NIC.
Another thing to consider would be the network topography itself; make sure the device is on a subnet exposed to minimal broadcast/multicast traffic.
Finally, you can verify the device itself is physically functional by testing it with a laptop and crossover cable. If the drop-off behavior occurs while connected directly to another single computer, it may be indicative of an issue with the main board or hard drive.
You may also find additional support articles at the following link: Phaser 3250 KB - http://www.support.xerox.com/support/phaser-3250/support/enus.html
I hope this helps.
Have a great day.

How do I select two-sided printing on LaserJet Pro 200 Color?

How can I print documents with two-sided printing with LaserJet Pro 200 color printer. I have Mac )S X 10.10 Yosemite.

Hi @jleo ,
I see that you would like to know how to select the two-sided printing. I would be happy to help you, but I will need some more information.
What is the full name and product number of your printer? How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Are you using the Full Feature HP Software and Drivers or the Apple Update drivers?
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
Depending which printer you have and what drivers you are using, usually from the application you are printing from, go to File, Print, click on the Layout in the dropdown and you might have one also listed for Manual Duplex option, you should be able to select the two-sided setting there.
Have a nice day!

LaserJet Pro 200 color mfp m276 Printing issues

I have had this printer for about a year now. Now it has started printing solid black lines across the page I am printing, whether it be from my computer or a fax. I can run the cleaning process from the printer and its fine for a few hours and then back to the solid black lines. It gets so bad there is more ink on the paper than white when it does this. Have tried everything I can think of to cure this to no avail. I am running hp cartridges and just plain white paper. Any ideas as to how to fix this. These lines are thick lines, just not _____ but are about 1 " wide each.
I really need help with this really soon or I will have to replace it with another brand. I use this in my office and can't have important faxes coming across with all these lines so I can't read it. I posted this Saturday and still waiting for someone to respond.

Hi @RandallRaley ,
I understand that when printing, you are getting solid black lines across the paper and now on the back of the paper. You are using HP cartridges, plain paper and have ran the cleanings with the same result. I can help you today.
Try another type of 20lb -24lb plain paper to see if you have the same results.
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.
Update the printer's firmware. HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw Drivers.
Select your operating system, click next, click the link for firmware.
Try printing again.
If the issue persists, follow the steps for aligning and cleaning the toners, printing a Print Quality page, inspecting the toner for damage, checking the paper and driver settings to see if this will resolve the issue.

Issue on borderless printing using android HP ePrint app with HP LaserJet Pro 200 color M251nw

Hi,
I am trying to print a pdf document which is of A4 size (11.7 x 8.3 inches without any borders) from android tablet using HP ePrint app along with the printer HP Laserjet Pro 200 color M251nw. When it is printed on A4 sheet, it adds the border on all the sides around 12mm-left, 11mm-right, 8mm-top, 9.5mm-botton margins.
On the printer the firmware datecode shows 20121026, Also the ePrint app which I am using is latest and upto date.
Please let me know how to print the borderless print in A4 sheet.
Regards,
Jaya

Hello revlib,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
Turning off the Wireless Direct on the LaserJet Pro 200 color M251nw should have disabled the SSID from broadcasting. Since disabling from the front display did not resolve, let us try from the Embedded Web Server (EWS).
To access the EWS you need to enter the I.P address for the M251nw into the address bar of your web browser. The I.P address can be collected by touching Setup ()> Reports> Network Summary.
Once in the EWS, click Network> Wireless Direct Setup> select Off and Apply.
Let me know if this has help

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?

hello, i only made an account to solve this for you guys because it has been a headache for me also.... let me apologize before hand for terrible grammar and punctuation i am in a huge hurry Now this may not work for everybody but i fixed it on my machine with the following now before you print ...use (ctrl+p) in your word processor to open the print window click on (properties) then navigate to the (advanced) tab now, I have a section called printer features under this category there is an option to "send truetype as bitmap" enable this and see if it can help any of you, for me, with this ENABLED I can print any size font my word processor will allow me to type specs of my machinedell d6420win7msoft word 2007 printer itself is hp laserjet 200 color m276 printer driver is HP LaserJet 200 color MFP M276 PCL 6 i understand that this printer and driver is not identical to yours per se but the nature of these drivers makes it highly likely that this solution will work for most of you if this helps, have somebody else post it more noticeably because i will probly not be signing back in to this website i created this account just to post this and hopefully solve this annoying issue for many of you ...no kudos needed

HP LaserJet Pro 200 Color MFP M276n issue with the software

Dear Members,
When i'm trying to install the drivers for the printer HP LaserJet Pro 200 Color MFP M276n, on Windows Xp the issue is specific on windows xp only i tried on two machines its the same and its fine when i try to intall on windows 7.

Hi mbsiddiqui,
When a printer is connected by USB, the computer recognizes it and it will show up in the device manager, if it didn't fully install it will still be listed in the device manager and will not find it again when the printer is reconnected. We have to remove the old entry first.
Leave the printer connected by the USB cable.
Check the device manager to see if the printer is listed.
Go to start, right click my computer, left click properties, click on the hardware tab, then device manager.
Look for the printer entry, it might be listed as other devices, unknown device, delete the entry by right clicking it and select uninstall, it might show up under universal serial bus controllers as USB printing support, if USB composite device is listed then also delete it, delete the entry by right clicking it and select uninstall.
Since the software is already installed for the Ethernet connection, from device manager, click on Action and select scan for new hardware.
If it doesn't find the printer then it might have a ghost key in the registry causing the printer not to be detected again.
Let me know the results.
How is the printer listed?
Were you able to find new hardware?
What is the printer entry showing now in the device manager?
Thank You.

HP LaserJet Pro 200 m251 won't print PDF

I have an HP Laserjet Pro 200 that will not print PDFs. The documents get stuck in the print queue and I have to delete them and restart the printer. I have reinstalled the driver and updates and reinstalled Adobe Reader and updates. Called HP and they told me to contact ADobe, but I can't find a number.

I posted this on another discussion. But here it is again.
One of the things I have experienced in the past with printing PDFs is that it would hang in the print queue. There is a manual method of deleting the print documents in the print queue. But the issue is printing PDF documents that are scanned in and has maybe highlighted text or handwritten notes on the PDF. The printer driver can render it correctly if printing the PDF as a text document. What you have to do is change it so that it prints as a PDF image instead.
To print as an image, open the PDF then click File then click Print. Click the Advanced button on the following window that pops up and select the check box "Print as image".
Now to clear your print queue will be key prior to doing this if the print job is hung in the print queue.
Here is a Microsoft KB Article that explains how to do this. I think it has an available Microsoft Fixit tool you can use as well.

How to Print Envelopes - HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP

I can't work out how to print envelopes on my HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP.
I put the envelope upright (flap down) in the adjustable tray at the very top of the machine (as I have done in almost every printer I've used) and it prints the address on a sheet of paper!

Hi goodgrandma ,
I see by your post that you would also like to know how to print envelopes.
I will be happy to help you.
Both the Laserjet m251 and M276 have a main tray only.
Above the tray is the jam access door to remove paper jams.
To print on the envelopes, you would need to remove all the paper from the main tray and load the envelopes in the main (bottom) tray, to print to envelopes with these two units.
If you are using Word Application, click on Tools, select Letters and Mailing/Envelopes and labels, the envelope box will open, in the envelope tab enter your address, click on Options, click the Printing Options tab, you will need to change the Feed from to Auto, it is likely set to Manual.
What is the full name and product
number of your printer? How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Hope this helps.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276 - not able to print black when any color is empty

Hi,
We have 2x HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276n in our office, both have firmware date code 20121026.
The problem is that when ever one of the colored toner cartridges gets empty it fails to print even black & white documents and freezes in the replace cartridge screen.
In system supplies settings it is configured to print only black when colored supplies are below very low threshold limit.
Since the printer is freezing in the warning screen and only powering it off and on helps to bring it back alive, it seems that this is a software or firmware issue. I didnt find any firmware updates for this model though.
It doesnt make any sense that it is not possible to use the printer at all when only one of colored cartridges is empty. Any thoughts on how to solve this issue are welcome.

Hi,
The firmware that you have mentioned is old and the latest version available is
Version
20131216
it is always advisable to update the printer to the latest firmware. Please update the firmware form the given link

HP LaserJet Pro 200 m251nw - Printing Gray instead of Black

HI,
Hoping someone can help. I'm currently using a HP LaserJet Pro 200 m251nw printer, just over a year old, and it all of sudden started printing gray where it should be 100% black. From what I can see all the other colors seem to work fine.
I saw similar posts but nothing clear.
A new black toner cartridge was replaced, system settings restored, multiple cleanings, etc. I currently use a Mac Laptop running Mavericks with the latest drivers that I downloaded.
Am I out of luck? Is this beyond a software issue?
Thank you,
Chris

Thanks for providing that information clodsgn.
Since the self test is printing in gray, it would be a hardware issue. Possibly the toner, hardware or the fuser.
What are all the toner levels?
This can affect the output of the black printing.
Are you using all Genuine HP Toner?
The options are probably different, since you changed to Laserjet 251nw drivers. You can change driver back if you like.
Since right now we are looking at a hardware issue.
Run a calibration on the printer.
On the printer touch the wrench, system setup, print quality, color calibration calibrate now.
Print a Diagnostics Page to see if you have the same results. Trying to determine if it is a hardware or software issue.
Go to Setup, Reports, arrow down and select Diagnostics Report. Check the color blocks, any shadows, each corner check the L-shaped to see if the printer is alignment.
Here is a screen shot:
Try this document to see if it will help.
Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues.
Start at the section for Check toner cartridge status and finish up on Check the paper and printing environment.
What were the results of the Print Quality Page and Diagnostics page?
