Hello,
I think its an issue withe the Toner Cartridge ( Cyan ).
You may have to replace the Cyan toner cartridge.
Please call HP Tech Support for further assistance.
If you are in US , the toll free # is 1-800-474-6836 .

Laserjet Pro 200 Color Printing Horizontal Red Lines

When I print in color, I get horizontal red lines across my page. When I print in black and white, it doesn't happen. I've cleaned & calaborated the printer & it's still doing this. Can anyone help?

Hi @kjatc,
I see that you are getting red horizontal lines when printing in color. I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue today.
I would do a hard reset to see if will help.
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.
I have provided a document with the steps for calibrating 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. Some of the steps you have already tried, but please try the other steps listed. Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues.
Print a Diagnostics Page: Go to Setup, Reports Menu, Diagnostics Page.
Update the printer's firmware. Software and Drivers. Select Go under Option 2.
Are you using Genuine HP Toner?
What are the toner levels?
What were the results of the Print Quality Page and Diagnostics Page?
This will help determine if it is just one specific toner, possibly a fuser or hardware issue with the toner. Feel free to include a screen shot of both pages.
If you appreciate my efforts, please click the Thumbs up button below.
Please let me know the results. Thank You.

HP LaserJet Pro 200 color Printer Offline - Windows 8.1

Hello:
This subject appears to re-appear a lot, but I am getting nowhere in how to fix it. I have tried various steps recommended on how to resolve this, but it is not working consistently.
I have 3 PC's: 2 desktops and 1 laptop running Windows 8.1.
I have a wireless network with WEP encription. I have connected the printer to the network. The printer IP config is set to channel 6. The firmware date code is 20121026.
Every time I try to print, the printer is offline. Sometimes I can fix this by removing the printer from the device listings and then scanning for new printers. When I do this, it will print for the session I am using the computer, but soon afterwards it goes offline again.
When I plug a computer directly to the printer, it usually works, but not always.
It seems to me that this is a PC driver problem - not the printer, but I am not sure.
Thanks,
Scott Nichos

Thanks for clarifying Scott,
From the printer front panel, click the Setup icon and then tap the Service option.
Select Laserjet Update and then press on Check for Updates now
Allow the printer to complete the task till the update completes.
If the update fails or the device show that the latest update is already installed, temporary connect the printer to your PC with a USB and then update the firmware by running this tool.. be sure to select the newly added USB queue and not the existing network queue:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=lj-108129-6&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
Once the update completes, the firmware datecode should appear as 20140521.

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!

Which inf file to use for HP LaserJet Pro 200 color m251nw, when updating the driver?

My printer is LaserJet Pro 200 color Printer M251nw. I visited the support page and found there is a newer driver.
Driver (61.117.01.15301)
Currently my driver version is 61.117.1.11493. I want to upgrade the driver.
After downloading and unzipping the files into the folder, I found there are 3 inf files in the folder:
hpcm251u.inf
hpcm251c.inf
hpbuio70l.inf
So which one should I install? I am disappointed at the lack of information and inconvenience in upgrading the driver.
June

Hi CJKim,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are trying to update the driver and are not sure which .inf to choose.
I will be happy to help you.
Since it is running through the add printer wizard you can select any one of the .inf files you listed
to update the drivers.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.
Have a great day.

Can I have you start by running through the following HP Support document:

HP laserjet pro 200 color m251n reset

Hello, I receved my HP Lasejet Pro 200 m251n yesterday and unfortunately we did not get a good start together. When printing colors, the colors are not aligned. I have printed a few diagnostic pages that just confirm the issue. Reading the forums I found that recalibrating could be helpful. Unfortuately after ~15 recalibrations nothing changed. Some users on other model are reporting that a NVRAM reset could be a solution. Unfortunately I did not find a way to do this on my M251n. Can it be done ? Should I try it ? Or should I send the printer back ?
Thank you.

Laserjet Pro 200 color m251nw touch screen

The touch screen does not work except for teh keys outside of the touchscreen area. The printer prints
OK, but I need to change the IP address and cannot get the touch screen to work. It displays fine.

Thanks for replying back from the PM sjlocknar.
Make sure there is no damage on the power cord and that it is connected directly to a wall outlet.
The printer shouldn't be exposed to any electric or magnetic field.
Try another power cord, you can use a monitor power cord to test it. Just to rule that out.
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 30-60 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.

HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276 Blue Blinking Wifi Light

I just bought a new HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276 with wifi and eprint. I just started up this new printer and the blue wifi indicator / light is blinking. I do not have a router but would like to print wirelessly from my iphone, galaxy s5, laptop and my macbook air.
I started with my laptop and could not print wirelessly.
Can you please tell me as to why that light is printing. How can I set up my devices to print wirelessly.

Hi @JerryHP ,
I see by your post that you would like to setup the printer to print with your Laptop, iPhone, Galaxy s5, Laptop and the Macbook Air. I would be happy to help you.
Since you don't have a router, you can turn the Wireless Direct on from the printer's control panel. From the devices you would connect to the printer's network to be able to print.
On the printer's display, go to Setup, Network Setup, Wireless Menu, Wireless Direct Settings and turn it on.
Follow Step two from this document for connecting to the printer.
Printing from an Apple or Android Mobile Device with HP Wireless Direct.
For the Mac and Windows computer you would also need to connect to the printer's network or your other option would be to connect with a USB cable.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
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.

Hi,
my name is Domenico and I have the following problem:
I have setup my HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw in HPePrint App on my Ipad mini, but I am able to print directly.
When I send a page to print through my tablet, on the printer screen I can see the following message:
"Manual feed.
Plain, A4
Or press [OK] to use available media"
So, I have to press OK on the printer screen to print the page.
How can I avoid this problem?
Thanks,
Domenico
