HP laserjet P1100 wireless connection for mac

Hoping for a quick response.... I have a Mac with 10.8.5 and I have purchased an HP Laserjet P1100 wireless printer. I have tried installing the drivers to print wireless...ly with no success. I have taken time out to type this message because I have not been able to find someone who has had the same issue in the internet. I need a walk thru because there are many steps where the issue may be occuring. Your written installation documentation conflicts with your User Guide PDF file. Cord or no cord during driver installation for wireless connection??? Was lost after #5 page 18 on the User Guide PDF file.
I figured it out. Your directions are misleading and not up to date. Cord is not an issue but needed for entire install process. At one point I'm in my system prefs then I'm on my web browser where I found Bonjour which added the network to my printer choices so now I can print wirelessly... hopefully I don't have to do that again because I'm not sure of the steps I took. Fairly complex set up.

Hey @matt4,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I see that you have a Mac OS X 10.8.5 and a new HP Laserjet P1100 series printer and are looking for quick and easy wireless configuration steps. I just have one question for you:
Do you have a P1100 or a P1102w?
What's my Model Number?
I'm going to assume that you have a Laserjet P1102w. The steps for wireless configuration of a Laserjet P1102w are a bit confusing on Mac OS X 10.8 as you need to use the generic Apple Airprint driver because there is no 'Full Feature Software and Driver' installation for that Operating System. In saying that, I will try my best to give you easy steps to reference should you need to configure your printer again on the wireless network.
How to Connect the Printer to the Network:
Step 1: Install the Generic Mac Printer Driver:
1. Turn your printer on
2. Plug your USB cable from the printer directly into your Mac
3. Click on the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences
4. Click Print & Scan and make sure your printer is in the list of available devices.
5. If your printer is not listed, click the plus () sign at the bottom left pane, click the name of your USB printer, and then click Add.
Step 2: Connect the Printer to the Wireless Network:
I've added the video above so you can view these step-by-step instructions.
Click the Apple icon (), and then click System Preferences.
Click Print & Scan.
Click Open Print Queue, and then click Printer Setup.
Click the Utility tab, and then click Open Printer Utility.
Click HTMLConfig.
Click the Networking tab, and then click Wireless from the list on the left.
Under Communication Mode, click Infrastructure, select your network SSID from the Available Network Names (SSID) list, and then click the << button.
From the Security Mode pop-up menu under Authentication, click WEP or WPA/WPA2. Your selection depends on the wireless security protocol your network uses.
Note: If your network does not have wireless security, leave the Security Mode set to Open System (No Authentication).
Type your WEP/WPA/WPA2 key in the appropriate field, and then click Apply.
In the confirmation box, click OK, and then close the HTML Config and Print Queue windows.
Step 3: Delete the USB connected printer, and then add the wireless connected printer:
In the Print & Scan window under Printers, click your printer name, and then click the Minus sign () to remove it.
NOTE: This removes the USB connection from the list so that the only entry for your printer is the wireless connection.
Disconnect the USB cable from the printer and the computer.
Under Printers, click the Plus sign ().
Select your printer name with Bonjour as the Kind, and then click Add
Once your printer is configured for Bonjour, if you have other Mac OS X computers that you want to use with this network printer you do not have to run all these steps again. You simply make sure that the other Mac computers are all connected to the same network that you have set your printer up on and just open Print & Scan. Under Printers click the () plus sign and select your printer name with Bonjour as the Kind, and then click Add.
You can reference all of this information in: Setting Up the Printer for a Wireless Network for the HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer
Let me know if these steps help clear up any confusion for you. Good luck!

Wireless connecting for laserjet Pro P1102W

I have a mac - no problem setting up the printer but I can't seem to connect the wireless component. I have gone into the systems and opened up printer - utility - everything is good but it won't let me put in the encrypted password for my network.

Welcome to the HP Forums dcfrk,
I see by your post that you are unable to setup the printer on the wireless network.
I can help you with this.
If the issue is that the HTML won't load, please follow these steps for 10.8 or lower:
Make sure Safari is set as the default browser. (sometimes the EWS won't open if it isn't set as the default)
Open Safari, across the top select the Safari menu, select Preferences, General, set as default.
Close out all applications.
You can access the HTML from this location:
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, computer, Mac Harddrive, library, printers, HP,Laserjet, P1100_P1560_P1600Series, open HTML config.
Go to the network tab, select wireless on the left side, select infrastructure, select network name, select the double
arrow button to move the network name over to the left side, fill in passwords, apply.
You should get a solid blue wireless light in about 1 minute.
Then go to the Apple, system preferences, print & scan, highlight the P1102w and click the minus at bottom left
corner to delete it, then disconnect USB cable, click the plus sign in bottom left corner and highlight the P1102w bonjour printer, beside Use: make sure it shows the proper printer name and not Airprint, (Airprint is a preinstalled Apple driver with basic functionality) click on the add button. You might have to click on the drop down to select your printer.
Test the printer.
Steps for 10.9:
Here is a Youtube video of the Laserjet P1102w wireless installation for Maverick.

Remote Desktop Connection for Mac - connection lost after a minute idle

Hi There,
I am trying to connect from a Macbook Pro to my work (XP) machine using the latest Remote Desktop Connection for Mac.
It used to work fine, and recently it has been dropping the connection if I've not been 'active' for a minute or so.
What is confusing is that it is not always like this. Some days, I can leave it inactive for hours over lunch etc, and I'll come back and it will be fine. And just the other day, in the morning it dropped me out ever minute or so I was inactive, and then the afternoon was fine, and the evening was troublsome again.
Our administrators had not changed anything during that time, nor had I changed anything on my XP machine at work, or my Mac at home.
I connect via a wireless connection.
These problems occur when running on battery and when plugged in.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
ThreeIsles

Since RDC is not an Apple product, you should post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac version of RDC:

Hello Flajack,
Thanks for the post. I did some checking here and the HP 3050a is compatible with MAC OS 10.7 in a wireless environment. What kind of issues are you having? Installation? Connectivity? Maintaining a wireless connection? I've included a couple of my favorite links below to assist in getting this resolved. Check the information in these links and let me know how it goes from there. Good Luck!

Remotedesktop connection for mac

Hi there,
I frequently used RDV (Remote Desktop Connection for Mac) to access my old PC with Windows XP over my WLAN network and via cable over LAN from my mac book pro.
Now i bought a mac mini (latest) and installed Win7 with bootcamp. I need to access it remotely from my mac book pro so i tried Remote Desktop Connection. It works over my local WLAN network, BUT it dosn't work over LAN.
Which are the correct settings to use a LAN cable and the RDV that it works properly?
mac book pro with OSX ---- LAN cable ---- mac mini with win7 (bootcamp)
Thanks for your help!
Andy

Yeah I'm aware of this fact. It seems to me that you don't have that much experience with networks.
The IP address I mentioned was the IPv4, I set manually to 10.0.0.1 /255 255 255 0 on one computer, and to 10.0.0.2 on the other. The sub net has to be the same that they are able to to talk to each other.
I also found the error, then when i send a ping, the computers were connected. So my other guess was, that it could be a firewall problem, and indeed it was. I allowed the remote desktop for everyone in the firewall settings and now MS RDC is able to connect over LAN to the mac mini.

Wireless Printing: for Mac and PC

I am running a home wireless network. The AEBS --> Linksys router --> Modem. In addition, there is an HP LaserJet 2100M attached to the router. So the problem is I need to be able to connect my Macs and my wife's PC to the printer. I have no problem with the Macs - they are running through AppleTalk. Using Printer Setup Utility the location shows up as "Local zone". I think the problem may be that the PC doesn't recognize "AppleTalk".
So the question is how can I get the Macs and PCs to both connect to the printer?
I have tried using HP LaserJet Utility (OS9 vers) to change the settings on the printer. When I try to assign a manual TCP/IP address to the printer it states that "valid IP addresses must be entered for manual configuration" (even though the address should be valid: 192.168.150.101 on my network). therefore, I have to use the "Automatically obtain TCP/IP config from the DHCP server". I have also downloaded the HP LaserJet Utility for OSX. This doesn't seem to do much, and doesn't include the same options as the OS9 version - as far as I can tell it just uses the Apple "printer setup utility".
Thanks in advance for your help.
Thanks
Rob

The PC does not have to use Appletalk to communicate with the printer. If Appletalk works with the printer, let the Macs use it. After all, if you never changed anything on the printer, but just used it out of the box, there is no reason why you need to change anything for the PC.
You should just set up the PC printing on the network as if the Macs were not there, using whatever protocol the printer and PC want. You are probably just having a problem configuring the printer interface on the PC. Be sure that you are trying to communicate with it through your network interface, not through the printer port, although that should work, too, if your PC is connected that way.

Setup wireless network for mac and pc with Airport Express?

Mac Mini/OSX/10.8.2/Airport Express
Question,
I have my AIrPort Express setup for my Mac Mini and I have dell computer that I want to share the wireless network. Is it possible to setup a wireless network with my mini and the pc using only the AirPort Express? Is the Airport Express a wireless router?
Thanks,

If your Mac Mini is connecting to the Express using wireless, then this confirms that the device is working correctly.
The Express is a wireless router that can support up to 10 wireless connections, so your Dell computer should be able to connect assuming that its wireless card is working correctly, and the Dell indentifies the network and enters the correct wireless network password.
If you are having difficulty with the Dell PC connecting, this Windows troubleshooting document might help:

Wireless connection for officejet 4500

I just replaced my router and now I'm having problems reconnecting my officejet 4500.

Well on this printer you go into the front panel setup which you would hit the setup rench symbol to the right of the machine than find network and then under network setting you will see wireless setup wizard when you select that option then to put in the passphase you do it like texting you keep pushing the number until it turn into a letter or number for you so it like texting when you put in the passphase. Now the passphase was setup when you got the new router so if you don't remember it contact the router company or it may be on the router and you put in the front panel like texting. I attached a document on how to reconnect to the network. Maybe this step by step process will help you out on resolvinfg the issue your having.

Time capsule - use as wi-fi connection for mac pro to the internet

hello
i recently purchased a mac pro 2.8/ 2Gb/ 320 HD
it did not come with a wireless card.
today i bought a time capsule and want to use it to connect my mac to my wireless internet connection from my modem (dsl) via the time capsule. i have connected the time capsule to my mac via ethernet.
the internet is not working. can anybody help me please?
i have managed to get the ethernet connected and active.
when i look at "network diagnostics" ethernet is green, network settings is green and isp is green. but internet is red (failed) and service is red.
please help

i will have to use an ethernet cable between the modem and the TC, right?
Yes. It sounds like your modem is actually a combination modem & wireless router instead. Unfortunately, creating a WDS between this device and the TC will be unlikely successful ... so the only alternative (without buying anything else) would be to connect the TC to the modem via Ethernet.
this is frustrating as the apple store i bought the TC from in Osaka, Japan, would not sell me an airport card to install myself.
I believe this is because the AirPort card for your model of Mac Pro is not considered a User-installable item by Apple. I'm surprised they didn't offer to do the install for you.
then, as a solution said that i could use the TC to do what i described above.
Although they were partially correct that it can be done with the TC, it appears that they didn't provide the complete picture on how to do it.

HP Laserjet P1102w wireless connection/print issues. Unreliable connection

I have this printer in a business public wifi network with bonjour enabled. I installed this printer wirelessly, but any time I print to it, it takes minutes before the printer will actually receive and print the job.
I have found that power cycling the printer starts the print job faster, however I would like to be able to avoid having to do this every time. I cannot see this printer from other computers, or at the IP address it has registered, either. Only in the small window of printing the job does it actually appear on the wireless network, then it seems to disappear again. If I try pinging the printer I get a response saying it was not found. Unless I ping during a print job in which case it replies with all packets sent/received correctly.
I am using Windows 7 32bit, have installed the latest printer firmware, etc.
The blue WiFi light on the printer is usually off or flickering, but not really ever solid for more than a few seconds.

Sounds like the printer is having trouble stabilizing on the network. Try following the steps in this document to stabalize the printer's wireless connection. You can also try updating the firmware to improve the connectivity. Let me know what happens.

Can't set up wireless connection for HP C4385 All-In-One with Windows 7.

Hi guys,
I just got a new laptop with Windows 7 64 bit. I already had an HP C4385 All-In-One that I was using with my last computer. I have also just set up a new wireless network because I got a new cable provider. So basically I needed to do everything from the beginning.
When I inserted the setup CD and ran the setup program, it said I couldn't continue because my OS was not supported. I went to the HP website and found the solution, which was to plug the printer in via USB and let Windows Update find the latest driver. Ok, that's fine, the printer works now when the USB cord is plugged in.
To set up the wireless connection, the instruction manual says I need to do it through the network setup wizard p on the CD. But that brings me back to my original problem-- the setup CD won't work because it doesn't recognise Windows 7.
So my question is-- how can I update the network settings (SSID and key) on the printer without the network setup wizard?
Thanks for any help, this is really driving me crazy!
