cannot install software and drivers for HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M277 series printer

[ab7070]

I am getting black/blank dialogs after launching the install program "fullHP_Color_LJ_Pro_MFP_M277-full-solution-15343.exe" for the HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M277 series printer. I have installed many times before on Windows 10 systems without encountering any issues but latest try on new HP Pavilion 15 Model 15-dk0035cl laptop is not working? I see the launcher's progress splash working just fine but another black rectangular region (dialog window ?) appears soon after and I am never able to interact with the setup process to complete the installation. Other applications on the laptop such as MS Office as well as non-MS applications are working without issue. Furthermore, other installations for other printer manufactures worked as well and I am able to print using them.

@ab7070,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

I recommend you root uninstall the printer and then reinstall the printer and check whether the issue is resolved.

Here is how it is done.

1.) In Windows, search for and open Programs and features

2.) Select your HP Printer

3.) Select Uninstall

4.) In Windows, search for and open Devices and printers

5.) In the Devices and Printers windows look for your HP printer. If you see it listed right-click on it and choose 'Delete' or 'Remove Device'

6.) Open up the run command with the "Windows key + R" key combo.

7.) Type printui.exe /s and click Ok. (Note: there is a space in between “printui.exe” and “/s”)

8.) Click on the "Drivers" tab

9.) Look for HP Printer driver. If you see it Click on it and click Remove at the bottom

10.) Select Ok

11.) Select Apply and Ok on the Print Server Properties windows

12.) Close Devices and Printers

13.) Restart the PC

14.) Download and install the printer software from the below link.

First thanks for the reply + help. It is certainly appreciated. As to the first part, the HP installer never completed so there is no HP printer to remove / delete. As to the second part, the PRINTUI driver tab does not list any HP drivers so there are none to remove. Please, any other ideas as the issue seems to be right at the start with the installer "HP_Color_LJ_Pro_MFP_M277-full-solution-15343.exe". Here's what I see as first the splash and then the black square that should be a window managing the installation dialog with the user.

Run HP Print and Scan Doctor to diagnose and fix any driver issue

Click here to download the file. Once downloaded, make sure to run the file to start the installation and click on 'Fix printing'.

If the issue persists, proceed to the next step.

Create a new user account and then try installing the HP Full-featured driver and check if that works.

Alternatively, you may use and install HP Smart app to print and scan from your PC/mobile device.

Click here to download and know more about HP Smart app.

Also, you may install the printer using Windows built-in drivers.

Refer to this document to know how.

Keep me posted for any other assistance.
