• problem with wireless portable printer

  Windows 8

  HP Laserjet 200 color M251

  I had this set up works correctly (I forgot how I did it), until we have had an interruption in the internet service last night.  Today, the display on the printer itself says its connected.  My laptop displays this PCL6 printer class driver.  I can't print anything.  Everytime I try, it is said that my impression is offline.  I checked the printer itself, and it says it is connected and online.

  Can someone please?

  Hey @Bionic1 ,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I understand that you are having printing problem with your printer LaserJet M251.

  Can you tell me what operating system you are using? What version of Windows you are using, click here: Windows operating system am I running?

  You should be able to see the IP address of the printer by pressing the button on the main screen of the printer wireless. This should be at the top of the screen, then left to right. Once you have the IP address (should be something like 192.168.1.2), type it into the web browser address bar (as you would for a Web site) and try to load the page. This should open an information page for your printer, and is called a built-in Web server.

  If this page does not load, there is no wireless communication. If it does, it indicates that the wireless connection is probably fine, but unfortunately this is not always the case.

  Try powercycling your router to update the communication. Do this by unplugging the power cord from the router and leave it unplugged for at least 45 seconds. Plug back in and wait 1-2 minutes so he can come back online. At this point, try to print.

  If this fails, try to add the printer with the full functionality driver instead of the class driver. Open devices and printers, and right-click on the printer. You should have the ability to delete or remove the printer. Once it's done download and run this installation program: color HP LaserJet Pro 200 M251 series full feature software and drivers.

  Let me know if this helps.

• Windows 7 homegroup printer problems

  I have set up a homegroup with a laptop computer and computer of one currently connected and recognized Wireless Office. I have double/triple checked all the settings on both computers and everything is according to the needs. When we send a document from the laptop to the desktop printer (HP 1600), the status shows as having been wound onto portable printer information and it shows also have been wrapped and in the queue on the desktop, but it ends - nothing prints!  Here's the loopy thing - in desperation I re-uploaded the driver package for HP printer on the desktop and as it was be installed the printed document. However, when you try to send another document to print from the laptop on the 1600 HP desktop, first the laptop tells us that new printer drivers need to be downloaded on this one, which we comply to and then voila! We're back to the same problem - does not, but in the print queue. Repeat the re-installation of printer on the desktop drivers and it prints again during installation.
  I'm in a loop or maybe just loopy - HELP please.

  On the printer properties Ports tab, uncheck enable bidirectional.  This disables the HP language monitor

• Where can I find better, more correct instructions to solve printing problems by editing prefs.js?

  Instructions of "resolve printing problems | Firefox Help, line 6. Delete all the lines in prefs.js that begin with print_ and save the file. "do not match what is actually in my prefs.js file.

  In other words, he didn't y not the lines * beginning * with "print" or "print_". However, the string of five characters 'print' is * very * many times buried deep in a line of characters, but never at the beginning of a line and rarely followed by underscore. So I have no idea what I'm actually planned to do to solve my problem.

  It seems to me that this is just a badly phrased statement that might be more appropriate for someone who is familiar with the codification and development of software, which I'm not. I don't have the time, experience or knowledge to understand. I need more literal/explicit/specific instructions.

  The printing problem I have is that I have to print via WiFi to a printer in another room wired to another computer, and Firefox seems to switch or possibly reverse scales fonts for information of margin and the text of the Web page. In other words, the title of the document, date, time, prints etc very wide and the content of the page text prints almost too small to read.

  If there is a lot of user set prefs involved that need to be reset, then it's much easier to delete related lines of the prefs.js is each of them with the button straight on the topic: config page and click Reset.
  This is the main reason (single) to edit the prefs.js file.

• From updateing to 8.1 WIndows printer problems

  Until I updated to Windows 8.1 other months everything was going well on my new laptop, then I went to something of my HP Photosmart B109n scan and it did not work because the pilot was now missing and the application that replace the HP printer driver HP is useless.

  On the advice of the HP site, I tried to download the new driver, but it wouldn't go, he said I had to remove the exsisting installation but when I try it just reboots the computer, but is still there afterwards. It turns out the uninstall has disappeared from the current and installation does not appear in the installer I downloaded.

  As a last resort, I used the system restore but has not only the printer has not changed but now some pre-loaded apps will not work and ask to renew the license of developers.

  I'm a lost what to do next - please help!

  Your laptop is not known to me, but in the case of update 8.1 Win, you should check this update from Toshiba to win 8.1 page: http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/gen...ws8_1-message/

  There you can check if the Win 8.1 is supported on your laptop and how to perform the Update step by step for Windows 8.1
  Some drivers must be uninstalled and updated after installation of update 8.1 to win!

  Regarding your printer problem:
  Each manufacturer of the printer contains own drivers for the Windows System.
  We don't know me if HP released Win 8.1 compatible drivers for the printer Photosmart B109n clean, but to be honest, this problem is not related to the Toshiba laptop. If you have problems using HP printer under 8.1 to win, you should visit the support page of the printer manufacturer for troubleshooting tips and workaround solutions.

• Eny HP 4520: Printing problems in word Document with photo

  I just purcahsed a HP Envy and I use the function print via the wireless option. I have a word document that I was able to print in the past which has an image inserted into the document. All in the words fine printing copies only the upper left photo f. When I show preview before printing, it shows that if the whole of the document will print correctly and the image should print very well... I have attached what print preview looks like and what actually prints

  Hi @dmanyeah,

  Thank you for reaching out to the forums! I understand that you encounter printing problems in Word, the full image is not printing. Thanks for providing the screenshots. I'd love to help you.

  Try to print a picture from another application to see if you have the same problem.

  To exclude the driver, install a generic driver to see if you have the same results.

  • On the computer, go to start, devices and printers, right-click on your printer and select printer properties.
  • Click the Advanced tab and click new driver, and then click Next.
  • HP Deskjet 9800 by selecting in the list or the Deskjet 990c printer, click Next, Finish, and apply the settings. (you can always go back and revert to the original printer driver)

  1. In the text filter box, type print.
  2. Right click on each remaining parameter, and then select Reset.

• C6180A: Network printing problem series C6100

  Hello

  I pray that someone here can help with my network C6180A impression of questions, as I am at a loss to know what to do. I'm technical enough for a layman (not irritable) so able to fix my printer problems, I had to do several times in recent months. However, I am now in a complete deadlock as to what to do next.

  Implemented - laptop HP Pavilion (less than 1 year running Windows 8.1 64bits) connected by wired home network using Netgear HomePlugs, on which my C6180A All in One Photosmart printer is also connected by a Homeplug Netgear network around my house for others to use. The network software Netgear genius picks up the printer and it shows on the fine network. I can also access the IP address of the printer through my thin Firefox browser.

  Printer C6180A is (I think) about 8 years ago and has been well used with over 44 K printed pages! It worked well overall until recently. Minor problems have been solved in the past, which I was able to do very well.

  Until recently, the printer worked very well, so a few weeks ago (nothing has changed on it, or my laptop), it just started to stop printing and also started to enter spurious characters (always number 7) on the LED panel without doing me anything, as if someone was going to put in a fax number. It would show a string of 7 like this: '7777777777777777777' as a fax number alone.  Yet I did not or use the fax on it more. It's where I wondered about capacitors, as I mention below...

  However...

  It will not print many pages at once of all today - even if I get it print OK. It does not go offline (it used to do this), just print job gets stuck in the queue and must be deleted using HP Print & Scan doctor. Nothing else removes the queue now. And no other problems are reported with this utility. If they are, then I have Setup or the utility corrects.

  I did the following to get it fixed so far (with little success ongong):

  -updated and install printer via the HP website drivers (most recent is dated December 6, 2015)

  -uninstalled and reinstalled the driver software several times = sometimes a test page impressions, not always

  -restart the laptop and printer each time I do this to clear no matter what cache

  -Remove and add the device in Control Panel = got a few pages printed today this and nothing else then prints

  -check the IP address of the printer to make sure that his recognized on the network = all fine here (IP address added manually in the settings of the network on the printer a few months ago), although I can't make it here anymore as the "ok button" on the printer does not work now (minor in question not related to this in my opinion)

  -did a hard reset of the printer using the # and 6 to do this = it worked for a few pages then orders

  -printer is always / recognized by any software, driver or utility HP PSD when turned on to be detected to install

  -printer works fine when connected directly via a USB cable, but which is not what I want to do on a daily basis

  -have contacted Netgear in the recent past to make sure that my HomePlugs on my network worked very well, they were. If not, then the printer would not be detected by any software installation or fixing with HP PSD

  My last resort will be to check if the capacitors are down, I saw in other forums that this is a common problem after a while on these printers. Before making this "repair" I bought the capacitors, I wanted to check if there is anything else I missed that I can do to finally once and for all this problem of printing.

  Help on this would be so MUCH appreciated by any expert here, because I lost so much time, days in fact, try to resolve this issue as you can only imagine. I have to be able to print for my business. It is not an option to replace the printer currently.

  It worked fine until the last 3-4 weeks or more... Where my question detailed with what I did to fix it until now.

  Thanks in advance. ANIA

  Hello @AZS1,

  Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support. I understand that you have a problem with your C6180A. I would like to help.

  To be honest, you did some troubleshooting. To say that you are quite technical for a layman seems to be an understatement.

  I provided you with a link to solve network problems. If the problem persists then you might as well go ahead with the repair. The only other option would be to have fix the printer.
