HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M176n Windows 10 Build 1809 Driver

[LGNET]

My HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M176n Printer was working properly in Windows 10 Build 1803, when I updated the system to Build 1809 it stopped printing, it was intalled properly and the scan was working good but the print was not.

When I downgraded the sysyem to Build 1803 it worked again. 

I guess the problem might be that HP driver is not supported in this particular Windows 10 Build.

Please help with this problem.

@LGNET,

Thank you for reaching out to the HP Support community!

Let's try these steps:

Step 1: Run the HP Print and Scan Doctor

HP Print and Scan Doctor is a diagnostic utility that is used to identify printing and scanning issues automatically.

• Download HP Print and Scan Doctor from this link
• Run HPPSdr.exe from the download location on your computer.
• Once HP Print and Scan Doctor is open, click Start, and then choose your printer.
  • If your printer is not listed, turn it on and click Retry.
  • If there is a connection problem, follow the instructions in the tool.
• Click Fix Printing and follow the on-screen instructions and complete the diagnostics
• Try to print again
• If the issue persists, proceed to the next step

Step 2: Uninstall and re-install the printer driver.

Sometimes the printer driver may get corrupted after the upgradation. Re-installing the driver may fix the issue.

• In Windows, search for 'Control Panel' and open 'Programs' or 'Programs and features' and select 'Uninstall a Program'.
• Select your HP Printer.
• Select Uninstall.
• In Windows, search for 'Control Panel' and look for 'View devices and printers'option under 'Hardware and Sound'.
• In the Devices and Printers window look for your HP printer. If you see it listed right-click on it and choose 'Delete' or 'Remove Device'.
• Open up the run command with the "Windows key + R" key combo.
• Type printui.exe /s and click Ok. (Note: there is a space in between “printui.exe” and “/s”)
• Click on the "Drivers" tab.
• Look for HP Printer driver. If you see it Click on it and click Remove at the bottom.
• Select Ok.
• Select Apply and Ok on the Print Server Properties windows.
• Close Devices and Printers.
• Open up the run command with the "Windows key + R" key combo.
• Type c:/programdata and click Ok. Go to Hewlett Packard folder, remove any printer related folders & files.
• Restart the computer.
• Download the printer driver and install it from this link or manually search for drivers from https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/printers.
• Open the downloaded file, follow onscreen instructions and complete installation
• Try printing from your PC again and check if you can print.

Thank you for your reply, I tried all this methods before but the problem persists.

I hope HP will adress this problem by giving a new driver that can work in Windows 10 Build 1809.

@LGNET,

As per the drivers available on HP website, drivers should work with the Windows 1809 build as well.

You can check the compatibility from this link

• How is your printer connected? via USB or Ethernet?
• What happens when you try to print? Do you get any error while printing?
