Windows 10: Problem with JPEG and PDF printing on HP color Laserjet 400

Hi...

When printing a scan or photo jpeg there seems to be a blue layer over the entire printable surface. When I look closely art the image the true colors are present beneath what a appears to be a blue layer. Vector graphics print okay and when I removed and reinstalled the device and ran the HP test, all processes seemed there appeared to be no problem.

This problem is evident on desktop and new Surface 7. Any suggestions.


Thanks

Printing problem with HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M177fw

I have the exact same problem in every way. Please note the M177fw is what I started out with. The driver update gave me the M177 PCLmS entries below. I now have the following printers in my computer, as a result of trying to download the drivers and software:

HP Color Laserjet Pro MFP M281cdw printer problems

None of that helps. Does anyone else have an HP Color Laserjet Pro that CostCo is selling and have it working with Windows 10? None of the apps except Notepad are able to print to the printer. I can use an app to create a PDF and then use the HP specific
tool to print it but that's an extra step. I can't use Adobe to print a PDF, it just flashes in the spooler but nothing is ever printed.

You don't say where you did this online search for drivers.

Uninstall then reinstall your Printer using the correct Drivers and setup information at this HP website.

And there are troubleshooting steps for it there too.
