Good Old LaserJet Pro P1100w can't even find a wireless signal - blinking away

Well, forgive me - I'm not a very savvy computer user, but I've spent three hours using all the various "wizards" and "Doctors" and reading forums and can't figure out what's going on with my trusty LaserJet P1100w.
It appears nowhere on my ASUS Windows 8 OS laptop under "Printers and Devices" and perhaps I accidentally deleted it (or another user on the family computer did!).  So I unplugged it, then plugged it in, and alas, the blue light keeps searching for a connection - I assume it isn't finding it - and I don't have a USB cable or the original CD (although I downloaded all the drivers/software online).  My ASUS cannot detect the printer at all.  But I suppose if the printer was able to connect with the wireless router and had a solid blue light that wouldn't be a problem.
Any suggestions?  I'm not quite sure how to help the printer go from blinking blue light to finding whatever it is it is looking for and then step two will probably be easier - finding the printer on my ASUS laptop.
Thanks!!

    When I try to access my online bank account thru Firefox, the session times out. This is on a new Macbook Pro. On my old Macbook Pro I can access the site. I know it is probably something in settings but cannot figure it out.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
    '''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
    * Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
    '''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
    ;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration.

    Hi pissedadobeuser,
    Does this issue occur with any particular web page?
    Are you able to print the webpage to 'Adobe PDF' to convert it to pdf.
    Which Browser version, OS version and Acrobat version are you using?

  • ITunes App Store won't let me buy anything. Keeps saying the credit card info is wrong. BUT IT'S NOT. This has been going on for weeks, I can't even find the effing button to contact Apple. Jesus Christ.

    I can't buy or download anything. It keeps whining that the data is wrong, both on iPhone and iPad. It's the right info but it keeps whining about "payment method declined" or something? I dunno, some say it fixes itself after a few days. But it's been like this for a few weeks now. :/
    I can't even find the f**king button to contact Apple. What the ****. :/

    apple should really make that clear, thats the reason i bought the points for in the first place, to get apps and the update. man this *****, ok so pretty much if i don't have a credit card then im screwed right? i can't get the update or get apps unless they are free? are there app cards or something i can buy in order to buy them? kuz i can't get a credit card and i want to get this stuff, and if im not mistaken isn't this bad? its stopping ppl from spending money on this stuff, its cutting profit, if you could use it for all of it then im sure ppl would buy them alot more, kuz its "re-donk-u-less" that they don't have an easier way to get the stuff like apps and upgrades unless you hav a credit card. idk man, is apple going to change that anytimes soon?

  • HT1451 how do I create playlists now of my downloaded music.  Used to drag from "recently dowloaded" to playlist.  Can't even find the dang songs!!!!!

    how do I create playlists now of my downloaded music.  Used to drag from "recently dowloaded" to playlist.  Can't even find the dang songs!!!!!

    However, my troubleshooting issue is that I also want the songs in my concert playlists to go in order of how they were performed at the concerts.
    Give them a track number.
    Each time I number them within the playlists the song's number also changes within the Library Music list.
    And?  I'm not seeing the problem.
    However, I can not figure out how to make true copy. I've already tried dragging the song to my desktop, then dragging the new copy back into iTunes. I've even tried renaming the duplicate copy and dragging it into iTunes. Why won't my iTunes make an individual duplicate copy of a song?
    How do you have iTunes manage your music?  If you drag a song to the desktop it may just be moving the file to the desktop.
    Command+R to reveal the file in Finder.  Command+D to duplicate the file in Finder. Drag the duplicate to iTunes to add the second copy.  Not that I totally understand where the issues lie and feel this is likely not the best remedy...

    Icons dragged off the dock vanish in a puff of smoke.. they are only aliases (shortcuts)

  • HP Laserjet Pro P1102W not printing even though it's installed...

    Hello everyone. I'm relatively new to Arch, especially new with configuring cups. I just bought an HP LaserJet Pro p1102w wireless printer. I set it up on my dads laptop via plugging it into the usb and it automatically ran the setup program and I selected to set the printer up for wifi printing. All went well and the printer works now wirelessly from his computer (Windows 7). I've been working at getting this printer to actually print without error but it refuses.
    I'm trying to print from leafpad, just a simple text file with little in it other than "linux test print" in the file. The print queue states "Processing - Not connected?" then it fails and gives me the option to "diagnose" the issue. So I click Diagnose. Then it pops up with a message stating that the "print server not exporting printers". It tells me to enable  the "Publish shared printers connected to this system" through the printing administration panel which is in Gnome apparenetly (I'm in XFCE) under System>Administration>Printing from the main menu. In XFCE there is no such area.
    I have cups version 1.5.0-1
    hplip 3.11.7-2
    What else should I do? Apparently the printer was installed successfully. I tried installing it and selecting the HPlip driver which installed fine but wouldn't print. Then I removed that one and installed it using the Apple driver (airprint?) and it won't print either.
    I've tried searching for help but all I find is that it will work with hiplip installed... It isn't working with that installed.
    I can't access the cups server via a browser. Is that the problem? I've opened the cups config page but I don't understand it and it says allow,deny under localhost or ugh i dont know, something about which users can access the server. Should I remove the "deny"??
    Please help me if you can. I'm totally lost and have no idea what to do to get this printer working on my installation of arch. Arch is fully updated as of a few days ago.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    I can't access the cups server via a browser. Is that the problem?
    Absolutely.
        If you are starting cupsd from DAEMONS in rc.conf is it starting correctly or failing?   If your not you should be.  if it failing does start manually work?   
    if it's running you should be able to access via browser.  localhost:631   
    also see/try
    $ hp-toolbox
    CUPS interface better option IMO tho.
