My computer won't install to new laserjet m177fw printer

"The usual method to install a USB printer is to load the drivers prior to connecting the printer."
You usually load the software and drivers first - during the latter part of the software installation, you are often prompted to plug in the USB cable to the printer, or you may need to reboot before you are prompted to do that.
The power on the printer often must be switched on in order for the software installation for the printer and Windows to find it.
It is usually NOT a good idea to plug in the USB cable to the printer before installing it's software and drivers.
If you plug in the USB cable to the printer first, Windows will probably find there is a printer connected while booting, and when it can't find drivers for it, it will prompt you to point to the location of the drivers.
Usually it is a BAD idea to do that - the printer will probably not work properly.
If you DID NOT follow the installation directions correctly. Try these
- unplug the USB cable to the printer
- go to Control Panel......
-go to Printers and Faxes - delete any HP/ Canon printer listed there.
Go to Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs - Un-install any entries for software installed by the printer software installation.
Reboot the computer.
Follow the proper installation directions.

    Hi jhender294,
    This is a business product so you might have been luck posting on the business forums. However, here is a link to the support website for your printer. It will help you install this printer if that's what you are needing to do.
    If I helped you at all it would be great if you clicked the blue kudos star!

  • Computer won't recognize my new ipod

    I just got the fifth gen ipod and I am trying transfer my music from my old ipod and the computer won't recognize my new ipod.

    I have just been through this world of pain. dont bother re-installing itunes, or trawling through device drivers.
    Instead, make sure you turn off bluetooth and wireless. Unplug your network cable from the pc (assuming you have a LAN connection).
    Try plugging in the touch and it should be recognised straight away.

    In the email you want to print, on the top right there is an arrow. Click that and an option should appear that says print. That should work. Have you already tried that?

  • Installed a new black ink printer cartridge in hp office jet 6500 e709n and it is not printing out

    installed a new black ink printer cartridge in hp office jet 6500 e709n  and it is not printing out anything with Black ink. I ran all the diagnostic tests including cleaning the cartridges, cartridge alignment, shut off the printer unplugged it, restarted, shut down computer retarted. All the other colors work except for the black cartridge. I checked the vent on cartridge and it is they way it should be. How can I print with Black Ink? very upset!!!! Have got to get something printed ASAP

    I've got the same with a new black ink cartridge. The display keeps alerting that you have to renew the ink. Tha's oke but the printer does not print black/White.
    Do i have to replace the collor ink also at the same time?
    Does it mean that if you replace black and not the color that it's NOT possible to print b/w?

  • HT1349 my computer won`t install itunes

    I am trying to install the new itunes 10.5 on this computer, after the program is downloaded, I clidk on "run", it starts to install, it goes about half way through, stops, and this message comes up: This installation package could not be opened.  Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid windows installer package.
    at the bottom of this message it has a little box that says OK... I click on that and the message goes away and it won't install it.
    We have Window 7 64 bit and that is the new itune I am trying to install (64 bit) but it won't install. Can someone tell me whu it won't install?

    Fix your Apple Software Update.
    Go to START/ALL PROGRAMS/Apple Software Update. If it offers you a newer version of Apple Software Update, do it but Deselect any other software offered at the same time. Once done, try another iTunes install

  • Installing the CS Extension panel with the wrong date set on computer - won't install

    Hi!
    I (with the help of my customers) noticed an interesting behavior of the Extension Manager - when the date is wrong on the computer, the panel won't install giving all sorts of errors, but the correct one. It's cool, that it's happening, because of security - I can understand that. But it's not so cool, that the error that is being displayed is not about wrong time set. The users who install the panel receive "an invalid extension", or "wrong publusher" message and they think that the panel they downloaded is invalid, not the time on their own computers. Is it possible to fix this behavior? It's a serious usability issue, I think, that prevents users from using the CS Extension panels.
    Thank you

    Hi, ddmiles1 -
    Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
    When I try to install from the Instalation disc it begins with the "Classic is starting" window.
    That, and the other messages, indicate you are trying to run the installer on the OS 9.2.1 Install CD while the machine is booted to OSX on the hard drive.
    That won't work. What is happening is that when you run the installer on the CD, since it is an OS 9-only program OSX tries to start up Classic, using the only available OS 9 System Folder, the one on the CD. However, before that System Folder could be used as Classic it must be updated by OSX - OSX must add a few files to it so that it can be used as Classic. This can't happen, of course, since the CD can not be written to.
    The installer on all stand-alone OS 9 Install CDs will run only when the machine is booted to OS 9. You will first need to boot the machine to the CD, then run the installer. To do that, with the CD in the drive, restart; then immediately press the C key, keep it held down until you get the OS 9 Welcome screen.
    It may be that your machine will not be able to boot to that CD. Conditions that could cause that are -
    • the CD is not a retail OS 9.2.1 Install CD (those have a white label with a large gold 9 on them). If the CD is a model-specific one, and is for a model other than your specific iBook model, it willprobably not be able to be used.
    • your iBook G3 is too new a model to be able to use OS 9.2.1. Many iBook G3 models originally came with OS 9.2.2 - and that then is the minimum OS 9 version that they can use; specifically, those machines require the model-specific version of OS 9.2.2 that came with them. This Apple KBase article can help you determine the Apple designation for your model -

    This Apple KBase article gives the minimum OS 9 versions that can be used for various Mac models -

  • After Downloading 10.5.2 Update, Computer Won't Install Update, Just Sits?

    +*Hi, I have a Mac Mini running OS X 10.5.1 Leopard. I recently tried to download the 10.5.2 Update, it downloaded successfuly, but when I try to install it, it sits and the loading bar doesn't move at all. I've let it sit for several hours (12 to be exact) and it didn't move at all. I force-shut down the computer, but now I can't re-download it. The update for my computer is 182 MB. How do I fix this?*+

    There are two possibilities: You download is corrupted.
    You can download the full 10.5.2 update here:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1052comboupdate .html
    and install it.
    The other possibility is that if you have installed the recent TimeMachine/Airport update it probably won't instal anyway. There are many threads here about it. You should look them over.

  • TS1398 I can no longer transfer  photos from i photo on my mac to my i pad via iCloud. According to i photo the photos are on i cloud. There is plenty of storage space  available. This happened after installing a new wi fi printer

    I can no longer transfer photos from my mac to my i pad via i cloud
    Accordong to i photo on my mac the photos are in i cloud
    There is plenty of storage available
    Don't know if it is just a coincidence, but problem arose after installing a new wi fi printer

    There are apps such as Simple Transfer which allow you to transfer photos to/from your iPad and your computer via your wifi network - they will copy into the Camera Roll album in the Photos app on your iPad

  • What do I do when I go to download the new version after deleting the old version and it keeps telling me to restart my computer but when I do it still won't install the new version?

    My son installed a toolbar and I uninstalled it but it didn't disappear. A friend told me if I uninstall firefox and re install it, that the toolbar would be gone. I uninstalled firefox and went to reinstall it and it told me I had to restart to get rid of the old version completely, I restarted my computer and tried to install it again and it keeps coming up with the "you must restart your computer" thing. I have restarted my computer at least 20 times and it keeps happening and I cannot install firefox and its making me mad cause I hate using IE but if I can't figure it out I am going to be forced to use it instead of Firefox :(

    If the toolbar installed something into the rest of the system, you will see an entry in the Control Panel in the software uninstall applet which should be removed. You might need to make a new profile if you cannot find an extension that has something to do with the toolbar.

  • Photoshop Elements 11 boxed software installed once in Dec. 2012 won't install on new computer. Disk can't be read (tested on 3 different computers). How is that even possible of a meticulously clean, well-protected disk?

    Dear Adobe,
    I need your help!
    On December 12th, 2012 I ordered (purchased) by mail an official copy of the boxed Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 software from B&H Photo (New York, NY). I installed it successfully without any problem on my then computer. I have enjoyed using the program since then, it’s great. This past week, however, that same computer died and I was force to buy a new computer (Windows 8.1).
    To my big surprise, the Elements disk wouldn’t load off my DVD drive. The drive just kept “clicking” for 20 minutes.  After trying several times from reboot, for an hour and a half, I then tried installing it on my laptop, just to see if my drive was faulty. No, it wasn’t. It too immediately went into an endless “clicking” routine trying to read the disk. And for one last try, I put it in my sister’s laptop and she got the very same result - endless “clicking”, no install. No computer could read the disk!!!
    How is this even possible from a commercially made disk I used only once in 2012! The disk is meticulously clean, unscratched, unscuffed, put away in its original box and stored on my shelf in a cool place away from the sun!
        Serial Number of faulty disk:  1057-4186-6029-0039-1511-3940
    Is there anything you can do about this as I see no reason why I should be forced to spend over a $130 (in Canada) to replace a disk that worked only once!
    Regards, Andre

    copy your disc contents to a desktop directory.  install from that directory.
