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!

  • HP Color Laserjet Pro MFP M277 will not install on Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Windows 7 64 bit

    I tried to install printer driver software for my completely new HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP on my Lenovo ThinkPad X1 laptop. Lenovo runs on Windows 7 64 bit. The installation failed during Installation preparation (77% complete). The process stopped saying an error occured without indication of the cause of the error. I have tried installion both from the CD following the printer product and downloading from the HP web, with the same result. I then then turned on my old computer, a Dell Precision M2400 with Windows XP. The installation went perfect without problems on this computer. Is there a bug in the SW for Windows 7 (64), or is some part of the printer SW sensitive to HW variaton between PC companies even if the OS is the same?

    I have the same problem with my Lenovo ThinkPad T420 running Windows 7 64 bit.  Tried absolutely everything I could find on the blogs and nothing worked.  To me, seems like a software problem (glaring, given the popularity of Lenovos and the Windows 7 64 bit systems).  Returning the printer tomorrow and will not buy another HP printer.

  • HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw How to Scan

    I just bout the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw printer today and don't know how to use the scanner. I use Windows 8 operating system. Please advise how to use th scanner function. Thanks.  

    Hi, From page #38 of the manual: Scan by using the HP Scan software (Windows)
    Use the HP Scan software to initiate scanning from software on your computer. You can save the scanned image as a file or send it to another software application.
    1. Load the document on the scanner glass according to the indicators on the product.
    NOTE: For best results, load small-size paper (Letter, A4, or smaller) with the long edge of the paper along the left side of the scanner glass.
    2. Click Start, and then click Programs (or All Programs in Windows XP).
    3. Click HP, and then select your product.
    4. Click HP Scan, select a scanning shortcut, and then adjust the settings if necessary.
    5. Click Scan.
    NOTE: Click Advanced Settings to gain access to more options.
    Click Create New Shortcut to create a customized set of settings and save it in the list of shortcuts. Regards.

  • LaserJet Pro MFP M127fw will not go to sleep

    I just bought a LaserJet Pro MFP M127fw. Through the LCD Control Panel I set it up to go to sleep after 5 minutes. It will not go to sleep, the LCD panel is always on.  I did the following from the LCD panel: Setup Menu >>System Setup >> Energy Settings >> Sleep/Auto Off after >> 5 Minutes Printer is connected via wireless. I'm using this printer on a Mac OSX 10.9 (Mavericks) and have installed the latest driver software from HP Support website. Anyone has noticed this problem and is there a solution to it?  Thanks.  

    Hi tuanomsoc, I hope you had a good weekend!
    The printer has a built-in surge protector, so by plugging into a surge protector or a power bar, it can cause power drains that affect the functionality.  I would recommend the post below by , who has provided a helpful write-up on this exact question: Power Supply Related Issues Please let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

  • HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fw will not print anything except its own config

    Just purchased a HP LaserJet Pro MFP M127fw.  I cannot manage to get it to print using any type of connection to the printer.
    I can connect to the printer from my Ubuntu PC and my Android phone, but when I attempt to print, the job just hangs, never erroring, but never completing.  I have attempted printing from various applications, including a test page from the HPLIP tools, but the jobs reports "processing".
    When I attempt to print an information sheet from the printer's front panel, it asks me to confirm, but then nothing happens.
    I can connect to the printer's web server, but clicking on the print info button there does nothing.
    I have successfully connected with HP's ePrint service using the printer's reported email address, but the service reports "problem with printer".
    I don't know what else to try here.
    This question was solved.

    Hi richRemer,
    I see that you are having issues printing from the computer and the Android phone.
    I will be happy to help you.
    Power cycle the computer and the router.
    I would do a power reset on the printer. With the printer still turned on, disconnect the power cable from the back of the printer. Then disconnect the power cable from the wall outlet. Wait 10 seconds and reconnect the power cable back to the wall outlet first, then the back of the printer and power it on again.
    Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector)
    Print a hardware self test. Find out what the IP address is.
    Printing a Configuration Report.
    I have provided you with the Driver Support for Linux OS.
    If you are still having issues please go to Linux support page.

  • 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
    This question was solved.

    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 CM1017 MFP software will not reinstall

    I recently needed to reimage my computer due to an issue caused by the replacement of my hard drive.  I had the software to install and followed the directions very carefully.  Then purchased and changed printer cords and tried to reinstall the software very carefully.  Then tried to install it without printer cables over my local network.  Nothing and I mean nothing I have tried has worked.  I am using a universal color printer driver and twain driver to allow me functionality but the printer was working before the reimage on the same program.  Now it won't.  What can be done to restore full functionality to my printer?

    I have the same problem with my Lenovo ThinkPad T420 running Windows 7 64 bit.  Tried absolutely everything I could find on the blogs and nothing worked.  To me, seems like a software problem (glaring, given the popularity of Lenovos and the Windows 7 64 bit systems).  Returning the printer tomorrow and will not buy another HP printer.

  • HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw Not working with Fedora 14

    Our ERP is compactible up to Fedora 14. But I newly purchased Printer(
    HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw) is not working with this OS.
    Give me a urgent solution

    Hi @HealthITLadyRed,
    I read your post and see that the printer is making noise and is stuck initializing. 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.
    Check and remove any packaging material inside the printer and toner.
    Disconnect the USB/Network/FAX and power the printer on Standalone.
    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 by a USB connection. Software and Drivers.
    Select Option 2 and wait for the page to load and then select the link for firmware. This resolved the previous posters issue.
    I can send a private message with 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)
    What happened prior to this issue? (paper jam, changed toner) Any feedback would be appreciated.
    Is this a new printer?

    If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know. Thank You.

  • Color Laserjet pro MFP M176n control panel not working

    the control panel in the Color Laserjet pro MFP M176n is not working, is all blank, i can´t see anithhing in it. Is there a reset button or should i take it to the store where i buy it for a checkup?
    thank you

    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.

  • 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, 

  • 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.
