color laserjet mfp m277dw pro: the new Firmware update

My M277dw printer is automatically downloaded and installed a firmware update last night.

The datecode on the printer now shows 20160606.

The update took me by surprise because I was in the middle of a print session.

Is it a real update?  If yes where can I find the notes that this version is not on the driver download page.

@Robert069,

All the firmware update are directly from the HP Server. They are automatic HP where to connect to the network.

I don't have details of which fixed the update but not yet posted to the customer of the USB. The update last two were to improve the network connection and built-in web server looks like.

You don't have to worry about melware on the printer, as melware is a computer-based software. Can not be installed on printers.  Remember to update the printer firmware are link updateing the BIOS on a computer.

I hope this helps.

  • Color LaserJet MFP M277dw Pro: MFP M277dw unable to connect to wifi

    I just bought the Color LaserJet MFP M277dw Pro, and I can't connect to wifi. I have it connected via a USB cable and it works fine, it's just that I can't seem to connect to my wifi. The wifi seems fine, just connect my existing devices right (MacBook, iPhone, iPad). It finds the network, but it seems to expire when I put the password to connect.

    Hi @StephanieB2,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I understand that you are having problems with the networking of the printer. I want to help you solve this problem. If this helps you to find a solution, please click on the button "Accept as Solution" down below in this message. If you want to say thanks for my effort to help, click on the 'Thumbs Up' to give me a Kudos.

    It's really weird that the printer is expire when you put the network password.

    Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (do not use a hub or a surge protector) This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

    You can also configure the printer on the wireless network, thanks to the Wi - Fi Direct connection.

    Tap the icon on the screen of the printer wireless.

    Select the Wi - Fi Direct connection.

    Turn it on, if it isn't already, and if there is a code it marks down.

    Then on the Mac, go to the airport icon and connect to the network printer. (Direct 69 HP Laserjet M277)

    If requested a code or password, put the one you noted.

    Then open Safari and type 192.168.223.1.

    He will be responsible: the printer Web server integrated.

    Click the network tab.

    On the left side of the window, select Wireless Network Configuration and fill your information.

    Apply the settings.

    Can connect you to your network.

    Then add the printer.

    Click on the Apple menu, click System Preferences.
    Scanners & printers, then click the plus sign +.

    Select the printer in the list.

    Select your printer from the drop-down and click on the Add button.

    Test the printer.

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

  • Color Laserjet MFP M277DW Pro: scan to pdf corrupted

    I use Nitro PDF, and every time that I scan to PDF it is said the first page was damaged and has been repaired.   But it is empty, no content on page 1. This will happen if I use the shipper of record or the screen.  I just bought a new laptop, and there was this problem on my old laptop as well.  Scan to JPEG works but then have to take the extra step to convert the JPEG to PDF and it's a hassle.  Why the first page is always corrupt?

    Hello

    Do you have installled of Adobe Reader on your PC? (even if not used as the default viewer)?

    As you can find the system requirements below, it is part of the configuration required to make full use of the printer:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-Color-LaserJet-MFP-M277-series/7089945/model/7089949/document/c04515051/

    Try to install it starting from the following link, then try to scan the image:

    Now try to open the file with Nitro PDF, if the same persists check if you can see a difference with Adobe Reader.

  • MFP M277 dw: Color LaserJet MFP M277dw Pro issues with iMac

    I have a 2015 21.5 "iMac running El Capitan (10.11.3) and a HP Color LaserJet Pro M277dw MFP that falls in offline mode when it is idle for a while.

    Once the Mac has been sleeping, I can no longer copy, scan or fax without having to restart the printer and the iMac. And it is intermittent. This does not happen everytime the iMac goes to sleep, but no doubt it happens once or twice a week.

    The printer is connected both wireless (so that I can print from my iPad in other parts of the House.) and directly to the iMac via USB.

    I have updated all the HP software related and have applied the last update of the HP firmware for the printer as well. I also ran through all the game instructions that were provided with the printer.

    Other troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi @RBurgett,

    Thanks for joining the Forums of HP Support for a solution to your fall issue offline printer.

    I understand you have a HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M277dw connected to a wireless network for your iPad and connected with a USB to your iMac running Mac OS X 10.11.3 El Capitan, but the drops of the printer is offline after has been idle for a while and becomes also insensitive after mode "Eve". I would like to help with that.

    If you see the message on the printer offline on the iMac, it would be because the iMac think he's using the wireless printer, when it should be using the USB connection.

    You should be able to solve that by unplugging the USB cable. Once the USB cable is removed, reset the Mac printing system. If you don't know how to reset the Mac printing system, here is a document of support that can help - reset the printing system.

    After printing Mac system has been reset, you should be able to reconnect the USB cable and add it to printers and Scanners.

    As far as being not able to copy, scan or fax without having to restart the printer and the iMac that could be solved by resetting the printing system and making sure the USB printer is listed in the printers and Scanner. When the printer seem to be insensitive, the first step is to perform a reset of the power on the printer.

    Please let me know if that solves the problem, or if you need assistance.

  • Color LaserJet MFP M277dw Pro: M277DW error memory Supply - all cartridges

    I just added a new MacBook Air to my network and at the same time moved my HP printer across the desk.  Everything worked fine for months (with HP toners not; there are a lot of ink remaining in each). After reconnection and restart the printer it came with a "memory error power" for all four cartridges.  Standard deletion/relocation, restarting, etc. does nothing to restore the "error".  No drops, bangs or problems occurred when reinstalling the printer - just the new error.

    Firmware is 20160331

    This error seems to be a known issue, but I can't find that HP is addressing it.  Can someone point me to a solution?

    Until someone suggests, buy all new HP to replace toners functional 3rd party toner is not an option for me.

    I saw the solution on the collection of similar problems.  However, he did point me in a direction that has worked for me.

    Question: The question seems likely to be linked to extinguish a bad update from HP.

    General solution: previous people solved this problem by downgrading the firmware on the printer.  HP support shows that the firmware current (20160331) as an option for my Mac with OS 10.11.

    My Solution: False CV telling them I have an old operating system (OS 10.10).  This allowed me to access 20150716 the printer firmware version on their site.  I then did the printer had the "downgrade to allow" selected in the "system configuration" and downgraded the firmware.  This corrects the problem.

  • Color Laserjet MFP M277dw Pro: Is the M277dw LJ a regular laser printer (non - led)?

    Many of you probably know that there are LED printers. They use an array of LEDs to boost the drum. Usually, they are more compact than laser printers. Given that HP is touted jetintelligance and small printers LJ, I wondered if they switched to LEDs of lasers. If anyone has any information on the M277dw in laser printer, rather than to a LED printer (or), please let me know.

    Thank you

    As far as I know, hp uses only the laser/scanner technology.  Okidata and Xerox are known for LED technology.

  • Color LaserJet MFP M277dw Pro: smear on paper

    I'm trying to print the calendar.

    Problem 1 - the photo pages are being dragged.

    Problem 2 - the calendar pages are now show smears on the back.  I did about have of these pages, and now I get smear on the back, so I can't even take those to a professional printing service to get the pictures made.

    I use paper # 67.

    What can I do?

    Hi @Frodo2780,

    Thanks for getting back to me. What we need to do, is to determine if this problem is hardware or software related.

    For me to help you best, I need more information.

    For more information, ADF is the automatic document feeder.

    You mentioned that printing on regular paper does not always produce the same results. It is possible that printing on plain paper cleans up the mess left by card stock.

    What were the results when you printed on ordinary paper, consecutively?

    Don't you see ink spread on the back?

    If so, please remove the toner and check the drum for ink.

    NOTE: The drum must be clean.

    If you see ink on the drum, contact HP.

  • LaserJet MFP M277dw Pro: Windows installs its own printer driver after failure of wireless printer, print

    It is a problem really bizzare, I will try to explain as clearly as possible what happened:

    • I have 277dw LaserJet MFP Pro, which is connected to my PC via wireless network. I installed the drivers from HP and everything worked as a watch movement - printing and scanning.
    • Yesterday, the power is out for about 30 minutes. Computer stayed on thanks to UPS, but the printer power loss.
    • Once the power was restored to the printer, printer initialized and I was able to access his page of HTTP status without problems. All the parameters of the printer has persisted. Same IP address. Printer all self-tests pass. However, I have lost the ability to print (printer shows more as an option in the print dialog boxes). Scanner works as usual, save the scan to a network folder.
    • The State of device HP icon has disappeared from the taskbar.
    • A bunch of new entries titled "NPIF7BB8E (MP Color LaserJet MFP M277dw)" appears in the Device Manager. This 'new' device appears in the Device Manager 5 times under different categories of devices (see attached screenshot). In the Event Viewer, I discovered that Windows installed for this device right when the power has been restored to the printer.
    • Under control panel-> hardware and sound-> devices and printers, all devices installed by HP are grayed out and their status is not connected.
    • Restarting the computer does not resolve this issue.

    Anyone have any ideas on what is happening here? It's the second time this has happened - I was able to fix the first time by reinstalling the printer drivers. However, I don't want to have to do every time the failure. This looks like a bug in Windows or the drivers.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Most likely your operating system is set to automatically install the drivers, when the lost connection the WPS driver build has been added.

    Try these steps and check if that helps:

    1. In Control Panel, select network and Internet.
    2. Open the network and sharing Center.
    3. Search your active network profile, it appears just below the name of the network (for example Private Network, work network)
    4. The side pane select change advanced sharing settings.
    5. In the profile category, uncheck 'automatically enable the configuration of the connected network devices '.
    6. Click on save to confirm.
    7. Devices and printers remove any element M277 printer), as well as Device Manager (remove the two original HP or WPS item, you should see is no longer the M277.)
    8. Once select start > all Apps > HP > HP Laserjet M277 and select the shortcut to reconfigure the device, it can appear as the printer software installation & connect a new printer, etc.

    Hope that helps,

  • Color LaserJet MFP M177fw Pro: Scan to Mac with Color LaserJet MFP M177fw Pro

    I bought and the latest drivers from hp installation a HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw. are downloaded and installed.

    I have a Mac and you connect wirelessly to the printer, which works very well. The Mac runs Yosemite 10.10.3

    My question is the digitization. There is no option for scanning anywhere, not on the small screen of the printer not on the usefulness of the printer or any where.

    Summer spend hours online to find an answer and is now well bored.

    I have already reset the disc printing, verified and repaired systems. Can not scan even with the options offered on the forums of hp using Apple caprure or preview. It seems that all these options include versions of OS X prior to Yosemite?

    I buy a multifunction printer that is not scan? I said to the saleswoman that I need a printer that can scan and airprint...

    Is it possible to scan to a mac at all with this printer? Any help?

    Hi @sa9494,

    I see that you have problems with scanning. I will definitely do my best to help you.

    Check the name of the driver that is installed by the printer. Make sure that it shows just the name of the printer.
    Click on the Apple menu, click System Preferences. Click on Printers & Scanners, highlight the name of the printer on the left side and right side of the screen it should show the name of the printer. (Color LaserJet MFP M177fw Pro)

    If the full name of the printer is not correctly, delete and add the printer name back from the list. Click on the sign - to remove the driver and then click on the + sign to add the driver might have to drop-down list to select the name of the printer to add a click.

    Here is a screenshot of what it should look like. You have the scanning through top tab?

    I have also included a document for HP printers - scan with HP Software in OS X v10.10 Yosemite.

    Scanning ports is not open on the router to the origin of this problem. You can contact the router company to verify and to open these ports 9220/9500/427 on the router.

    Connect the printer with the USB cable, to see if you have the same results.
