Laserjet pro mfp m177fw - cannot install print cartridge

I recently purchased my printer, and now I have to replace the black cartridge for the first time.
The graphics on the printer cartridge itself, and the videos on the HP site are not of any help. the directions say to insert the cartridge into the slots and push into the retainer with the other cartridges.
When I slide the cartridge into the left and right slots, the cartridge will not slide down easily. I have to force it and one side will slide and the other will not. I do not want to force it, in fear that I might break the printer.
Is there a more visual graphic somewhere on the HP site, on the internate, or on Youtube, that can help me solve this cartridge replacement issue?

Hi, mxhall,
Welcome to the HP Forum. Sorry to hear you're having issues installing the new black toner cartridge in your LaserJet Pro M177fw.
First of all, you were very wise not to force the cartridge into the slot. Doing so could damage the printer and the cartridge.
Please take a look at the document at this link:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c03922339&lc=en&product=5445914&tmp...
Hopefully, it will resolve the issue.
Also, as you're inserting the cartridge into the printer, make sure that both ends enter their respective slots at the same time. If the cartridge is tilted even a little, it can make it hard to push the cartridge into the printer.
Thanks, mxhall. Hope this helps.

HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw cannot scan or copy

My HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw cannot scan or copy. Screen on the printer just show calibrating only
Bsically an't scan or copy, the printer is just showing a message on the display of "calibrating".
Thank you for help

Hi @Ern88 , I can help you with not being able to scan or copy. The printer is showing that it is stuck calibrating.
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.
Try to make a copy again.
Please check your private messages for additional steps to try.

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?

I set the DNS numbers with google DNS addresses. I changed its IP address with manually. The IP address is unique. Normally It doesn't enable/remove webservices. But when I restart it, it can do for few minutes. It can take an e-mail address but It doesn't print any information sheet. When I try to print a sheet It says "Connection Problem" at first few minutes and later it says "Connecting"and it waits, there is no error message. What am I suppossed to do? Please help me.

Un able to install Scan to Email app on Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw

Hello!
I recently purchased Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw as my home printer.
Main thing i was looking for was Scan to Email feature.
As I read in specifications provided in this product description I see:
http://www.shopping.hp.com/shopping/pdf/cz165a.pdf
Digital sending standard features: Scan to E-mail by HP SW; scan to application by HP SW ; scan to file by HP SW
Once I try to install Scan to Email app i get following message once i try to install app:
What is wrong, that i cannot install app that was one of main choice points of this printer.
TWAIN and using computer scanning process is clear, so no need instructions how to scan using computer.
I especially need fucntion that i scan document on printer, then enter email and its emailed.
Thank You in advance for clarification,
Martins

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,

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

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!

HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw Printer always cool-down mode

Hi there, i am also meeting with the same issues like the cooldown mode printing.

Hi , I found something written by that you may find helpful regarding the printer going into cool down mode: 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 Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw Drivers. Where is the printer located? (enclosed shelf, desk)How many pages are you printing when you get this message?What is the paper's weight and what kind of paper are you using? If the issue persists, please post back with the answer to the above questions. Thanks.

HP Color Laserjet Pro MFP M177fw going cool down mood after printing every pages.

I have bought Color Laserjet Pro MFP M177fw before only 3days. From the very begining It says printing.... cooldown mood, and take a long paus. This issue occures after printing each page. I am using HP Toners. And my directly connected with wall socket(Electric). Please help me. It is urgent for me. Thanks in advance.

Afternoon , I found some information about the cool-down mode on your Laserjet Pro MFP M177fw. The product is too hot to continue printing at normal speed.
The product will pause longer between printed pages until it cools down.
Overheating occurs when the product lacks air ventilation or when it prints continuously for a long period of time. To prevent overheating, place the product in a well-ventilated area, and divide very large print jobs into smaller print jobs.Other than using it in a well ventilated room, you could see if there are any firmware updates available. You can click on this link to Getting Printer Updates for HP LaserJet Pro. If the issue continues, I would Contact HP Support for further assistance. Fill in the model number and the form to receive a case number. You can view all other ways of contacting HP from their list of Support Options. Thanks,

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.

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

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.

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!

Scan to email on Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw

I am trying to download the Printable "Scan to Email" onto my Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw but It keeps throwing an error?
When I bought the printer (yesterday) i was told that I could set it up to Scan in a document and have it automatically send out as an email to a recipient. How do I accomplish this?
thanks!
This question was solved.

Step by step -
I want to walk up to my M177FW
place a document on it
scan it to either an email address or a folder on a server on my network
My old unit the OfficeJet 6500 could do this - i cannot believe the newer tech cannot. Please tell me what i'm doing wrong and please do not ask me to walk to a PC and run special software. Use the scenario above - thank you

HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw - PostScript support?

Hi,
I'm looking to purchase a new printer/scanner/copier(/fax is a nice to have, but not mandatory), and I'm deciding between the following models:
HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw
HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw
PostScript support is important for me, and I know that the 175 has this. However, I'm not sure about the 177, even after digging through several web pages and documents. Here's what I found:
- The main specs page for the 177 says that it supports "PCLm". I'm not familiar with this PCL variant, so I don't know how it compares to PCL5 or PCL6, etc. I was unable to find more information on "PCLm".
- The "Software Included" section of Page 2 of the PDF datasheet for the 177 mentions "HP PostScript" driver. This is the only place where I've seen any potential indication that the 177 supports PostScript. This section also mentions a "PCLmS" driver. I could not find any further information on "PCLmS".
- The for User Guide the 177 only mentions PostScript in a section that refers to ePrint. However, it does not imply that the 177 itself supports PostScript.
- The Product Specifications page (in the Support section of the HP site) for the 177 has a "Printing Specifications" section which lists only "PCL3 GUI" next to "Device languages".
I'm guessing that the 177 does not support PostScript, but does anyone have any more definitive information? Also, is there a description of PCLm / PCLmS somewhere?
Thanks!
