Message 'computer unable to connect to printer' appears during installation of laserjet p1102w.

During installation of wireless software for Laserjet P1102W on computer with XP Professional (pk2), the message ' printer was able to connect to wireless network. However, this computer is unable to connect to the printer.' I verified the computer and printer both connected to same named network with same WEP , open, key, etc. credentials. I have a linksys connected to the computer and cable modem. When I connect using the USB connect wire to the computer directly, I can print. Both software, wired and wireless, were loaded. My HP Inkjet printer is wired to the linksys and works for multiple wireless network computers. Do I need to have a different printer? I thought i could still have a truly wireless printer!?! I am a novice at this. Thanks for any assistance you can give.
This question was solved.

I called HP support. The tech was very knowledgeable and helpful. The HP Smart Install program (in printer and on CD) that came in the box was an old version. I needed to reset the printer back to factory default and download the new firmware from HP.com internet site.
The older software had an incorrect router address (network). You can see the router (IP) address when you do the Self Test (holding down the 'on' button) under network Information. The IPv4 address should be the same as your router. Now my printer and computer are looking at the same network.
Works great! Love this LaserJet. Faster than my last HP LaserJet 4L.

Hi,
even if you have a 64bit version of Oracle running, you need to have the 32bit oracle client installed on the machine where the BOBJ server runs on.

IP Printing Issue -- Unable to connect and print

I'm trying to print to a network printer that's connected by cable to my wireless router using IPP. The error message reads "Unable to connect to IPP host." The IP address I used for the printer was obtained from the printer test page. I also specified "generic postscipt printer" in the printer setup utility window. My printer and network info as follows:
Printer -- HP LaserJet 4MV
Router -- Linksys Wireless G
Computer -- Powerbook G4, OSX.4
I've reset the printers in the Printer Utility to use the latest version driver for the HP. I can browse using my PBk so my wireless connection is working (in fact the PBk is in the same room as the router). Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

I don't have a manual for the printer and I'm not aware of a print server being included in the hardware. The printer is simply a HP LaserJet 4MV which has a I/O card installed with local talk, 10Base-T, parellel, and BNC connections. I'm using the 10Base-T connection to my router.
On the test page printout, it lists several things one of which is "Server Name" but it's blank with no entry. Under the heading "Mode" the entry reads "Queue Server." Don't know if any of this is relevant.

My Mac is suddenly saying "Unable to connect to printer; will retry in 30 seconds...".

Though my printer (which I've only had for 2 weeks, so this doesn't make me feel too good about my purchase that I'm already having problems) says it's connected to my wireless and my wireless is working for my computer, or I wouldn't be able to type this, I'm getting the message "Unable to connect to printer; will retry in 30 seconds..."
Why is this happening? Anybody. . . ???
Help is much appreciated!

What printer? What version of OS X? What router?

After mavericks upgrade unable to connect to printer

After mavericks upgrade on one of my two 2013 iMac, when I try to print anything on my network printer and plotter I always obtain this message: "unable to connect to printer" than printer pause and got "pronto per la stampa" (ready to print in italian).
I have a EPSON STYLUS PHOTO 1290 A3 color inkjet printer and an HP designjet 500 plus 24 plotter connected to a Windows XP machine under a Windows XP network.
Trying to print from the seconf 2013 iMac with OS X 10.8 (NON OS X 10.9 Maverocks upgraded) everything goes as usual ant printer works well as from other two Windows XP machine on the same Windows network.
Then apparently the "unable to connect to printer" problem is up to OS X 10.9
Any suggestion?

THis helped me. Had to share this!
Go to this link: http://macs.about.com/od/printersharing/ss/Printer-Sharing-Share-Your-Windows-7- Printer-With-Your-Mac_5.htm
Things to Keep in mind and setup first if your Server which your printer is connected to is a Mac Desktop like mine, otherwise the above instructions will not work:
1) Make sure to have firewall set either to "Off", but if "On" then make sure set to allow SMB, Printer Share, and other devices. Thats a Biggie! (I suggest you Test first that you're indeed able to connect first to your Mac desktop server using the smb://YourServersFileSharingAddess.local, or cifs://YourServersFileSharingAddess.local. If you're not able to connect to your servers hard drive from your Laptop, then the printer setup will not work! So resolve this first and make sure you can connect using the mentioned protocols.
2) When you see that you're able to connect, then go to your printer setup and follow the above links suggestion. Just make sure that when you enter the ip address which it suggest, that its the same ip or location name of your mac server which your trying to connect to, ie... (YourServersFileSharingAddess.local/NameOfPrinterConnectedToServer). Keep in mind that it is case sensitive and that if you have spaced in the name of the printer, its better and easier to just rename it and cut it down to just one name...no spaces! But if you must have the spaces, then use %20 to fill those spaces, ie... "My Printer name" change to "My%20Printer%20name".
Then watch the magic!

Network host HPF.local is busy - Unable to connect to printer;

Recently when trying to print with a wifi bonjour networked OfficeJet J4680 this is the notice I receive, and it will never print.
Does anyone have any advice other than throwing the printer, or my computer out of the window?
Network host 'HPFBlah.local' is busy; will retry in 30 seconds...
Eventually the notice will change to...
'Unable to connect to printer; will retry in 30 seconds...';

Removing the wifi networked Printer from System Preferences > Printers, and then turning OFF the OfficeJet's wifi option, and instead plugging it into the Airport with a USB cable resolved the issue.

Printing unable to connect or printer switched off

Hi, just noticed something the other day when printing. I have an imac connected via ethernet to a AEBS connected to internet via modem. I also have a konica and oki connected for printing, via ethernet cable. Started to get message " unable to connect to printer, it may be switched off or IP address wrong." after latest update from apple.
konica connected via bonjour,
oki connected via oki tcp/ip.
Now if I start my konica and then oki I get a certain IP address for each model. As I'm printing via tcp/ip for the oki this is important. But if I start my oki and don't switch on my konica the Ip address for the oki changes! and it won't print but sits in the queue with the afor mentioned message. I then have to get the IP address again and change it in the system preferences. This is getting to be a pain. Even if system prefrences is locked, every time I start my machine it becomes unlocked.
Has anyone else had this specificate problem, could other people be getting this problem but not the IP message part.
Has anyone got any ideas. Also the new update is causing no end of problems with quark 7.3 but am working with a quark techician via email so hopefully this will be sorted. Any thoughts anyone

Going to mark as answered as I have a work around

Unable to connect to printer will retry in 30 seconds...

I have upgraded to 10.6 and now can't print using our normal ethernet network, or print a pdf file.
In System Preference - Print & Fax, I have set up the 2 printers I use plus plus PDF 8.0 and 9.0.
I do have the latest drivers for these and the printers are seen as Bonjour printers.
But every time I go to print I get the following message "unable to connect to printer will retry in 30 seconds...", and if I try to print a pdf it looks like it is printing but no pdf is produced and no error message.
Also as on optionI have also set one of the printers up using the IP address, so it clearly sees the printer.
I have been able to use one of the printers but set up as a USB connection but I don't want this as a permanent solution.
Help

When you go back to 10.5, the obvious is to back all work just in case.
So when I put my 10.5 OS CD in I selected the option that installs with the option of a "previous systems" folder as you will need to hook out various bits from it.
I had a few problems with Adobe applications not loading properly but was sorted buy searching the problems on the internet. Plus a few other niggles again sorted via the net.
If you are not overly confident of sorting problems I would not do it.
It took me a couple of hours to get back to where I wanted to be after I reinstalled 10.5.

Same To me. I have Asus WL-500W router at home, WPA2-PSK(AES), password similar to this "lIGf@91pY0TnFY!Jh@7LjTUlsL3ZPY", MAC address filtering. My old Nokia E51 works, my Touch Pro Works with it. When i try my one day old Nokia E72 it does not work, the same like others:WLAN: Unable to connect. Wlan Network not Found. E72 works at my work wifi, which has the same settings but without mac filtering. Have no idea what is happening, all is setting correctly. MAC address of E72 is allowed on router. It has the same settings like E51, but E51 works like a charm E72 does not work. What is wrong?
As already suggested, you could try disabling the MAC filtering from the router, just to outrule possibility of a typo while entering E72's MAC address to router settings.
Have you tried swithing a WLAN channel that your router uses?
Log in to your router's web management pages (check router's default IP address and username/password from it's manual) and switch of the "Automatic" channel selection mode. Try few different channels, like 1, 3, 6, 9, 11, if one of the channels happens to work any better. Note that in case you have set your router to use channels 12 or 13 (or in case "Automatic" channel selection mode has decided to select channel 12 or 13) you must have a SIM card inserted and some other than "Offline" profile enabled on your phone since Offline mode (i.e. airplane / flight mode) won't allow your phone to operate on higher channels than 11.
In case you have configured your WLAN network (SSID) to be "hidden", try disabling hidden SSID mode on the router.
Asus WL-500W router seems to be a pre-standard 802.11n device so might be worth looking in to your router's WLAN settings and see if playing around with router's WLAN operating mode and settings improve the situation. First of all ensure that your router is not set to operate in 20/40MHz mode (set it to 20MHz only) assuming that the router is in default 802.11b/g/n mode. You could also try disabling the 802.11n mode completely by selecting a 802.11b/g mode (if available).
You should probably also check that you're running latest (2.0.0.6 ??) firmware version on your Asus WL-500W router since there seems to plenty of complaints regarding WLAN connectivity and stability issues (in general, not specific to Nokia handsets) with this particular router model.

HP LaserJet 4000tn: "Unable to connect to printer" (IP printing)

The two Leopard machines on my LAN (one wired, one wireless) have trouble printing to my trusty LaserJet 4000tn. Panther, Tiger, and Windows XP machines work fine.
The printer is on the LAN and I'm trying to access it with IP printing. It gets stuck at "Unable to connect to printer; will retry in 30 seconds…"
If I power-cycle the printer, it will print the job.

I've just read through the thread and I might know what the problem is. Your printer is probably getting an IP address dynamically (using DHCP). I've found this to be a problem in some environments because the printer will sometimes suddenly get a new IP address and the computers, having received a specific IP address when they were configured, can't find the address. As a matter of course, when I install a new network printer I allocate a specific address to it. The downside is that your router's DHCP configuration will have to be redone to save a couple of IP addresses for the manual allocation.
