M177fw MFP: Failure to B & W

I just bought a M177fw MFP. I want to put the default value of B & W. No matter what I always goes back to Collor.

Is this possible?

Hi @george8,

I read your post and see that you do not want the default value of the B & W printer. I'd love to help you.

Check the name of the pilot in devices and printers to see how it is listed. (Laserjet M177fw or class driver)

Did you install the full feature software?

Here is a link for it, if you need it. HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw.

Here are the steps to set the B & W parameters:

1. in the software, select the option print.
2. Select the product, and then click Properties or preferences.
3. click on the paper/quality tab.
4. in the color section, select black & white or color.
NOTE: when black & white is selected, printing in grayscale setting in the Advanced Options is automatically replaced with the only option of black ink cartridge.
5. click on the OK button to close the Document Properties dialog box. In the print dialog box, click on the
OK button to print the job.

You can also define it in permanence of devices and printers. Access to devices and printers, click with the right button on the printer and on the left, click printer properties click the paper/quality tab to select B & W.

This information is provided by the manual on page 88. Multifunction COLOR LASERJET PRO.

If the settings are not always required, then download and run the Print and Scan doctor. It will diagnose the problem and could solve it automatically. http://www.hp.com/go/tools > using HP diagnostic tools for printers under Windows HP.

What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (she print or scan, error messages)

How is the printer connected? (USB / wireless)

If you appreciate my efforts, please click on the "Thumbs up" button below.

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

  • LaserJet Pro M177fw MFP: confirm the fax sent

    Is there a way for the printer to "beep" when a fax is sent successfully? Right now you have to look at the screen of the printer to confirm the fax has been sent successfully. Just old habit I guess.

    Hello @WaltGrosch,

    Welcome to the forums of HP.

    I understand you wanting to your M177fw "beep" when it sends a fax successfully.

    I would like to help.

    If it's a wonderful idea, the Laserjet printer does not have this ability.

    You can configure the printer to print a confirmation page when a fax is sent successfully.

    I agree that the tone would be better.

    To set the confirmation page, you can enter the menu setup then the fax menu.

    Hi @Charlotte_A_Tra,

    Welcome to the HP Support forum.

    I understand that a HP Color LaserJet Pro M177fw MFP which is cutting off the top of copies and scans. I would like to help with that.

    It is possible that the scanner does not calibrate properly on startup. To calibrate the printer copier/scanner:

    1 remove all items from the scanner glass.

    2. close the scanner cover and doors.

    3. press the power button / to activate the product.

    4. with the product under voltage, unplug the power cord from the back of the product.

    5. unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

    6. wait at least 30 seconds.

    7. plug the power cord into the wall outlet.

    8. reconnect the power cord to the back of the product.

    9. If the product does not light by itself, press the power button / to turn it on.

    There is no way to actually align the copier/scanner.

  • HP Color LaserJet M177fw MFP Pro - support PostScript?

    Hello

    I am looking to buy a new printer/scanner/copier(/fax is a nice to have, but not mandatory), and I am deciding between the following models:

    HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw

    HP Color LaserJet M177fw MFP Pro

    PostScript support is important to me, and I know that the 175 has it.  However, I'm not sure I know the 177, even after digging through several web pages and documents.  Here's what I found:

    -The page of the main form for the 177 says that he accepts "Cffp.  I'm not familiar with this variant PCL, so I don't know how it compares to PCL5 or PCL6, etc..  I have been unable to find more information about "Cffp.

    -The 'Software' section of Page 2 of the PDF Datasheet for the 177 mentions the driver "HP PostScript".  This is the only place where I saw no potential indication that the 177 supports PostScript.  This article also mentions a driver "PCLmS".  I couldn't find more information about "PCLmS".

    -The user 's Guide the 177 refers only to PostScript in an article that refers to ePrint.  However, it does not imply that the 177 itself supports PostScript.

    -Page product specification (in the Support section of the HP site) for the 177 has a "Print Specifications" section which lists only "PCL3 GUI" next to "languages of device.

    I'm guessing that the 177 is not compatible PostScript, but someone has the more definitive information?  Also, is there a description of the Cffp / PCLmS somewhere?

    Thank you!

  • M177fw MFP: Color Laserjet MFP M177fw Pro do not leave the page logo star HP & energy and go to the home page

    I have a HP Color Laserjet Pro M177fw MFP multifunction printer.  When I power on, I get the HP & Energy Star logos on the touch screen of the printer, but then it crashes and the screen lights up.  My MacBook Pro will see the printer (I'm wired to it via a USB cable) and it will start to print, but crashes at halfway trhrough sending data from the computer to the printer.  Is there a way to reset the printer to its default settings (first anniversary)?

    Hi Audiomic,

    I can provide some measures that could help solve the problem.

    1. try to reset the printer. Powered on, unplug the power cord from the back of the printer, then wait 60 seconds. Reconnect the power cord to the printer and turn it back on the power. Wait for the printer to initialize.

    2. If the problem persists, try to download and install the latest version of the software package. The most recent update is 20160525.  You can find the update here. Click Download and follow the instructions to install the update via the USB port.

    3. If the update does not work, I recommend this HP forum thread going and asking that the support agent send you instructions to perform a NVRAM reset.

    This last step is the only way I know to do a factory reset if the screen is frozen.

  • HP Color Laserjet M177FW MFP PRO cannot connect to web services

    I bought a HP Color Laserjet M177FW MFP PRO today and took me to the top. It can print and scan over wireless network. However, it cannot successfully connect to web services. I put the DNS numbers with google DNS addresses. I changed his IP address with manually. The IP address is unique. Normally it is not activate/remove webservices. But when I restart it, it can do for a few minutes. It may take an e-mail address, but it does not print any information sheet. When I try to print a sheet it says "Connection problem" in the first minutes, and later, he said "Connecting" and he expects, there is no error message. What am I supposed to do? Please help me.

    First of all thanks for your help. I solved my problem. After that I sent this message that I've updated my firmware printers and that does not solve the problem. I called HP customer service and they help me. We have solved the problem. My router was the reason for my problem. When I reset to factory settings, the problem disappeared. Thanks anyway. I want to share my solution. Maybe it helps others.

    Select your operating system, click Next, click the link for the firmware.

    You may need to set the time to sleep and define the sequence of events on the printer.

    1. from the home screen on the product control panel, press the Setup button.

  • Color LaserJet Pro M177fw MFP: HP Color LaserJet Pro M177fw MFP is not not color copy

    Hello, I have a HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw, when I try to copy in color mode, the printer gives me the newspaper (on the LCD screen), color copy is limited. I did not have a password for the printer. and this error is seen when you use both scanner feeder and flat bed.

    I appreciate your comments and thank you in advance for your help

    Best,

    The gesture would be to try to restore the default settings of the control panel of the printer.  Conflicting configurations on disabling color copies would be destroyed and normal again.  Resets are normally under the admin menu or the control panel service.

  • LaserJet Pro M177FW MFP: Laserjet Pro MFP M177FW stuck in initialization

    I bought a LaserJet MFP M177fw Pro a few days, and during installation, he immediately found himself in initialization mode. I tried to restart the printer and reinstalling the drivers, which are correctly installed according to my computer. It is plugged directly into a wall of output, not a surge protector and I have tried unplug, wait a minute and reconnecting.  I tried to update the firmware, but the installer think that the printer is in error mode and will not go forward. I scoured the forums HP but was not able to solve problems more.

    The scanner works fine when I said to scan from the desktop, then the computer and the device is certainly speak to one another.

  • LaserJet Pro M177FW MFP never sleeps, Calibrates every 15-30 minutes

    I have just bought a LaserJet MFP M177FW Pro and had it work. The only questions I have are:

    (1) the printer never sleeps any value I offer it to the sleep timer

    (2) the printer re - calibrated every 15-30 minutes, which is quite noisy

    I tried power walking several times and have tried to unplug the power for 30 seconds and plug in again. The problem persists.

    Can anyone provide assistance on how to sleep at work and how to get the printer to stop the calibration?

    I was actually able to solve this problem later, but none of the above helped suggestions at all.

    What seems the problem changed when the printer performed calibration. I put it to "immediately" instead of "after 15 minutes. The printer has slowed with success since the change.

    Thanks to all who offered suggestions!
