Hi @widadr,
I see that you are experiencing issues with the printer constantly rebooting. I will certainly do my best to help you.
Temporarily disconnect any cables from the printer, except the power cord, just to make sure there isn't any interference for the next few steps.
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.
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.
Try and update the printer's firmware by a USB connection if the issue persists. Software and Drivers.
I will send you another step to try in a private message.

Hello @ Averus89,
Welcome to the HP forum. 
I understand you have done quite a lot to resolve your M176n and its connection to the ePrint service. 
I would like to help you with this issue. 
If the printer is not printing the web services info sheet, or allowing you to add it to HP Connected, I
would set a manual DNS. 
I wont go into great detail about setting this up. From your post, I feel you know your way around the printer and your network. If I am mistaken, let me know. I will go into detail. 
The DNS to try is:
Primary: 209.244.0.3
Secondary: 209.244.0.4
Set the DNS then try printing the web services info page again.
Let me know if this helps.

HP COLOR LASERJET Pro MFP M176n

Hello
Is the printer HP COLOR LASERJET Pro MFP M176n PCL5/PCL6 compliant?
I searched in the HP website and it says PCLm/PCLmS in one link and PCL 3 GUI in another link.
Also advise what is PCLm/PCLmS?
PCL 3 GUI :
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c03894363&lc=en&jumpid=reg_r1002_us...
PCLm/PCLmS:
http://www8.hp.com/in/en/products/printers/product-detail.html?oid=5303442#!tab=specs
Please advise which is the correct one.
Thanks
Subbu

No idea which is the correct specification.
But none of those Page Description Languages are compatible with PCL5 or PCL6 (a.k.a PCL XL).
I can't be certain, since (unlike with PCL5 and PCL6) HP does not appear to publish specifications of these PDLs, but as far as I'm aware:
PCL3 GUI is a raster-based language; I believe that the drivers basically generate encapsulated, compressed, PCL-format raster images of each page; the printer unencapsulates and uncompresses these, and then just prints the resultant dots. I suspect that the language does support a very limited set of PCL escape sequences, to select job-level characteristics (such as page size, orientation, plex mode, etc.), but doesn't support anything to do with text formatting.
PCLm and PCLmS also appear to be raster-based, but in this case the raster images are encapsulated within a Portable Document Format (PDF) wrapper.

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.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
Have a nice day!

LaserJet Pro MFP M125a not printing

Hi,
my relatively new LaserJet PRO MFP M125a stopped printing today. Scan function is still working. All lights are on. Cannot print test page. When I try to print Word or PDFdoc, spool is empty, no job is waiting.
Uninstaled all HP software and drivers, cleaned registry, installed it again. Nothing. Changed USB cable, it worked for few pages, then turned off. When I turned it on, problem is here again. Changed USB cable again, but no luck.
Windows is fresh, new HP drivers...
Help is needed.
Best regards,
Nikola

HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fn networking issue

I finally got around to setting up the this device on my home network over the weekend, and i ran into a stange issue.
I have a network drop that is installed on the wall roughly 10' from the desk that the printer is set up. I ran a patch cable over to the desk, and the printer was unable to resolve an IP address from my DCHP server on the main router. It defaulted to 168.xxx.xxx.xxx or something (don't have the document in front of me). I tested the cable with my laptop and it was able to reslove and connect to the network. I moved the printer to the drop at the wall and used a 3' patch cable, and it was able to establish an IP address and was visible from the other devices on my network. I was able to connect to the tool kit page at the printer's IP address.
I saw in the documentation that the printer should be "installed with the correction cable of the correct lenght."
found here on page 5: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04598515
and here on page 103: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03628466
Though I do not see the length specified.
I also tried to add a hub betwork the drop and the printer, thinking it may cable length and signal lose (though it is less than 30' from the drop to a router.
Any thoughts or suggestions as to what the cause might be?

Hi @jaimelalone ,
I see that you are having issues getting the printer setup on the network. I would be happy to help you.
Usually the standard length for a Ethernet cable is 100 ', with a direct connection from the printer to the router, depending on the quality of the cable.

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?
Regards,
Evgeniy [edited personal information by moderator]

HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw screen frozen on hp logo and energy star icon

My HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw screen is frozen on hp logo and energy star icon. It has only printed the test page, and will not print otherwise. I have tried unplugging for 60 seconds, and even uninstalled it and reinstalled it with the latest download - still no change. None of the other icons outside the screen work either (home, help, etc.) about all i can do is turn it off and on. Also, I obviously cannot make copies etc since I cannot access any of the functions. Please help! and thanks in advance!

Hi , I read your post and see that the printer is frozen on the HP Logo and Energy Star Icon. I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
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.
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. Update the printer's firmware, make sure you run this through a USB connection. It may not detect the printer in this error state though. Software and Drivers. Select Option 2 and wait for the page to load and then select the link for firmware. I can send a private message with some another step to try.
In the forum beside your handle name just click on the envelope to view it. How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless) Please let me know the outcome. Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Can't install Color Laserjet Pro MFP M177fw

I'm having trouble installing the drivers for my new Color Laserjet Pro MFP M177fw AIO printer. I'm using a Sony Vaio VPCX118LG running Windows 7. I initially successfully installed the software from the disk provided some weeks ago, and had the printer running satisfactorily. About 3 weeks ago, I attempted unsuccessfully to install Office 2013 on the 32 system, and finally gave up trying and went back to Office 2010. Since about that time, I've been unable to use either of my M177s (I have two printers in my two offices in different cities; the one in Sydnay is working fine with my HP Pavilion desktop up there, but now won't work with my laptop, as won't the other identical printer in Canberra). I've tried uninstalling the software (using the Uninstall utility on the disk provided with the printer) and reinstalling. The install process seems to be proceeding normally but at about 99% complete stops with a message about a "Fatal Error". When monitoring the process using the Windows dialogue, the failure appears to coincide withthe installation of the last driver (after the Scan, Fax, USB Printer, etc...the one called, "HP Color Laserjet Pro MFP m177fw"). I've tried downloading the installation files and drivers from the HP website and installing from the disk provided, but neither method works. Can someone there offer any help, please? Claude

Hi , I think it's time to take the proverbial gloves off. I suggest you try a selective start up on your PC working directly with MSCONFIG to try and determine what, if any Windows service or program is interfering with your ability to install the drivers. Here's how: Click on the Start menuIn the 'search programs and files' box right above Start, type msconfig and hit enter on your keyboardWhen the System Configuration Window opens click 'Selective Startup' and uncheck Load Startup ItemsClick the Services tab. Check the box at the bottom for Hide All Microsoft ServicesSelect Disable AllSelect Apply and OKRestart your computer when promptedAfter you reboot, try the install again. If you're able to finish the setup we can safely assume there is a background program or service on your computer blocking the install. You will need to enable one service at a time on your computer to locate the program that's blocking your printer from printing. Here's how to undo the above-noted MSCONFIG steps: Click the Start icon.In the 'search programs and files' box right above Start, type msconfig and hit enter on your keyboardWhen the System Configuration Window opens click 'Normal Startup'Click Apply and OKRestart your computer as prompted. If this approach falls short I recommend you reach out to our tech support team. You can click on the following link to initiate a case: www.hp.com/contacthp/
Once you fill out the online form to create your case you can choose from different direct contact methods. Best of luck,
