m277dw: m277dw scanning network vs usb connections

I have my new m277dw put in place with a wired network connection.  All right.  The "scan to network" function works well, but it is pretty basic.   for example, no preview, crop, on mode settings flying, etc..  Does anyone know if direct scanning software used with a USB connection has all the extra features?  If so, I could try to add the USB connection on the nearest computer.  BTW, does anyone know if the printer supports a USB connection AND network at the same time the same computer?

Thank you.

Hi @botbswco,

Welcome to the HP Forums!

I see that you have some questions analysis about the printer HP Laserjet m277dw, on Windows 7. And I'm happy to help you!

The scanning software would be the same software you use now, if you have changed your USB connection. You could possibly install the printer using the two connections, but it is not recommended, because you can confuse the computer on which connection printer you use. And still will not print correctly. Would you choose manually on the computer, printer, print every time you print. For example, you may have a printer named HP Laserjet m277dw (USB) and the other named m277dw of the HP Laserjet (network).

If you are looking for different scanning options, you can always try scanning without using HP software and try to use the third-party scanning software instead. Please, consult this guide, scan from Windows 7 without software HP for HP Multifunction printers, for instructions.

Hope this information is useful and have a great day!

  • Cannot configure printer; Fails to detect a network or usb connection

    Hello

    I recently got the printer HP Deskjet 3050 a and have been an absolutely terrible time operate. It worked for one night and then disconnected somehow. I wanted to set up a peer-to-peer network since I was in College and do not have a network of myself. Whenever I try to connect, I made sure to connect to the correct network for my printer (HP-Setup-7F-Deskjet 3050 a J611), but even when I do, it is not recognized. He invites then connect the USB cable provided, what I'm doing, but never, she acknowledges that the connection has been established, and therefore, nothing happens. I made sure that the wireless is on my printer and makes everything the site said I should. Please help, I'm desperate.

  • Question of USB connection? Office Jet 4500 g510n

    I have a HP 4500 g510n printer.  It works great as a home network wireless.  I noticed that there is a connection to printer cabe on the back of the case.  There is nothing in the mannual users on a cable connetion.  This printer may be connected to the computer with a USB printer cable?  Is the port to connect just one part of a multi-model standard case and not connected to anything for this model?   If it can be connected can manage both wireless and cable connection at the same time?  I have a pc I ' d electrician it but I have others who need to continue using the wireless.  Thanks for any information.

    Hello

    Any USB connection as part of its standard specifications of the printer support, it means that you don't connect the model 4500 with a USB wireless as well.

    Network and USB connections will not interfere with each other, you can use the printer with a USB connection to one of your PC and the network wirelessly with any other PC.

    Hello abir.

    Thank you for giving us the opportunity to help you with your concern for Windows.

    From your post, it seems that you cannot print from Windows 7-based computer.

    When you say "no changes made on the network wireless to our knowledge", which is the type of network you're talking about? (Workgroup, domain)

    It is a difficult problem to diagnose because there are many printers on the market and many reasons why it could not work.

    We will try the steps from the following link and check if this solves the problem.

  • Photosmart C309 printer: change to usb connection

    I currently have a wireless connection to my computer.  How to change that to a USB, wired connection?

    Hey @dac71, welcome to the Forums of HP!

    I understand that you do not want to change to have a wireless connection to a USB connection between the printer and the computer. When you connect a USB cable, the printer automatically installs the correct driver and since you have already paid it works wirelessly, it would be seamless.

    If you're having trouble, and you have a Windows operating system, run the HP print and the doctor Scan with the USB cable connected and it will help: www.hp.com/go/tools.

  • Install HP Officejet 5740 & USB connection problems

    I recently bought a HP all-in-one OfficeJet 5740 printer for my desktop Dell XPS 8700-(Windows 8.1) and attempted to install, using the USB connection option. I was informed by the instructions of configuration to go online to a Dell website for the latest version of the installation software to download if I had access to the internet. I have DL'ed software and it apparently installed OK-(aucune erreur ou quoi que ce soit pour indiquer qu'il n'a pas abouti). Once finished with the installation of the software, I got to the window option connection-(wireless, usb cable ethernet cable). I chose the option of usb cable, however after having to then connect the USB cable to the printer and the computer via the usb cable, it tries to connect, but alerted me, stating; "Failed connection to printer, printer was not able to connect successfully via the usb cable. I tried this several times-(par moi-même et remote assist avec Support ordinateur Dell). I had the same problem last week when he tried with my old HP Officejet 6100, which I wanted to replace. I ran the program of doctor printing/scanning HP on the 5740 and it lists the printer and the software installed, however the HP printer install lists assistant the complete software package for the printer is not installed and some basic features drivers may be missing or damaged. Also when I go into Control Panel, then devices/printers, it displays the icon of 5740, however after rt - by clicking on the printer icon, instead of the regular menu that comes up to the top-(showing the complete properties, select this printer as the default printer, etc.), it displays a menu of smaller selections very-little (who don't understand not the "select as default printer"). I tried downloading the printer software two ways-(via the HP website on line 1, and then click the installation CD supplied with the printer, the same results. The printer was purchased 11/15/2014 and seems works very well-(tirages test-page, page d'alignement, etc.), but I can't print anything, and apparently it can not connect via the USB-(* j'ai acheté un nouveau câble usb 2.0 hier et, utilisé pour écarter la possibilité d'avoir un mauvais câble). My Dell computer is only 10 months old, and I upgraded to 8.1 Windows back on 25 October.  The USB ports on the computer all seem to work properly when connected to another USB device other than the 5740 printer.  What is the software apparently is not fully installed, with some missing drivers or, possibly, USB drivers should be updated? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!!!

    Thanks for responding, but I was able to get the printer installed with the help of diagnostic, remotely in line with my computer manufacturer support staff. He was determined to be a software problem because of a recent update of Windows 8.1. Thanks for the effort!

  • Printer wireless HP 7510 goes - 4 station XP wireless network, w / 1 connected PC.

    Printer: HP 7510

    Network: multi-user wireless through the DLink DI-632 (a PC connected to the router)

    Address configuration: printer uses static IP - DHCP (192.168.15.240) outside

    The printer config: each computer has static IP set in the Control Panel app, using the IP address.

    Operating system: XP (Service Pack 3)

    Other devices: Ipad, Xoom and Kindle Fire (work all use ePrint)

    Protocol of network security: WEP (we are out of the country)

    Network configuration: main router, as well as 2 (wired) access ports; currently using channels 1, 5 and 11 (again, we are in the country and have little competition for channels)

    File Sharing: All machines on a network have a player to 'share' open, accessible with passwork.

    Scenario: Wireless computers seem to stay connected for several days to a week at a time. (Restart us every week, just like a POS)

    Computer that is connected to the network loses communication with the printer a couple of times a day and needs to be rebooted in order to re-establish the connection.

    When this happens, other machines continue to print and scan, without any problem and the wired machine continues to have its name displayed in the SCAN on the printer control panel - but the printer won't talk to her.   All network functions, including internet and intranet access to SAP of the printer is always available.  I noticed that if I go in checking ink levels, however, that the ink control software behaves differently.

    Normally in the application of the ink status, there is a small icon of 'work' with 6 points. When this computer is connected properly, it will start to jump around the circle, showing activity, get 41% and then view ink status info.  When connecting the printer and the computer does not work, the icon of 'work' will go to a few percent, then go to the information page printer, showing the brand, model, serial number, etc. level firmware.

    In all cases to date, reboot (without any other action) brings the connection of the printer and the computer to life - until the next time.  I will try to find any other model of this behavior, just cannot identify it again.

    I started with the installation of regular vanilla, but then all the computers on the network would always connections, about every 45 minutes. Using the info on this forum, I eliminated the dropouts for these printers and got static IP solutions (we did this anyway for the years with net lending machines).  It's the last machine which "falls" it seems that some piece of software that are required HP is 'stall' or began to hurt, but I can't see a model, same check and note the different software used locally on the computer and various Web sites visited. So far, no reason.

    I hope the guru of the HP with access to the source for the software status "supply of ink" can take a look at what is happening and why always go to 41% and then view the status of the ink (when connected) and then just stop a few percent and view the status of ink (when it is not connected).

    Thank you, in advance,

    Jim

  • X 200 wireless problem - detects available networks, but cannot connect to them.

    Hi all

    I have a weird and annoying problem. My X 200 can detect wireless networks but refuses to connecto to them.

    It's a brand new computer that I just received.

    Some info:

    ThinkPad X 200 7454-2HU, running Vista x 64.

    Downloaded latest drivers installed, all using the autopilot to Lenovo download application.

    The driver has detected in the Device Manager is: Intel Wifi Link 5100 AGN.

    There is no problem with the wireless network (the other computers connect to it without any problems).

    I tried to cancel the option "n", leaving a "b/g", but it did not help.

    It is problematic that only one device in Device Manager, and it's "Controller of Bus SM" (cannot understand what it is and update windows or Lenovo update does not solve this problem).

    When I use "Intel ProSet/Wireless Tools" diagnose, I get:

    Test equipment: managed (wireless hardware is enabled)

    Pilotass. Driver is loaded. NET w5v64 Versio: 12.0.0.82

    Radio test: past. The radio is on.

    Scan Testass. There are 12 networks available to connect.

    Association test: failed. No partner.

    When I look at the statistics, it seems that the card receives bytes (nothing is sent).

    What do you think? Is it a hardware problem or software?

    No idea what can be done if it is a software problem?
