HP Laserjet p1102w blue WIRELESS light keeps blinking and computer is not able to locate the printer

Have been using the printer on wireless and it was working fine until I had to cancel a print and might have accidentally press wireless button and "X" cancel button together and havn't been able to print since.
Did everything:
- update firmware: LJP1100_P1560_P1600_FW_Update.dmg
- update printing software: HP-ePrint_v2.4.1.dmg
- Reinstall wireless setting
But the printer will now shot from Add new printer- Bonjour setting.
The odd thing is When I switch the wifi on computer on and off the printer will show in Add new printer- Bonjour setting, for a second and disappear again.
The printer still works via cable.
There were 3 machine using the printer via wireless now has all same issue.
Thank you for any help or tip!

Hello eeoorhee,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having an issue with connecting the printer over the wireless connection.
I have a few steps that we can take to troubleshoot this issue.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
I also suggest that you do an uinstall of the software and drivers and reinstall. Please click on the link that I have added for when The Printer is Not Found During Wireless Installation.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here: click here.
Thank you for your time.

I am having problems reestablishing my Time Capsule. I had to get a new internet modem and that seemed to screw up my Time Capsule. The amber light keeps blinking and it's not being picked up when my Macbook scans or when my PC scans for the wireless ne

I can't find my Time Capsule on my networks anymore. It's like it doesn't exist. We got hit by a storm and that might have caused our internet modem from ATT to fry. I replaced the modem today but now my Time Capsule isnt working. It's blinking amber. The PC its connected to through the ATT modem isn't finding it as it scans and its not in utilities. My MacBook isn't finding the time capsule either when it scans. Whenever I hooked up all the wires to the time capsule and the modem, the internet stops working. I've tried resetting the time capsule but it's still blinking. I had all my computer equipment on a power surge protector. A pretty good one. All my other equipment is fine. The ATT modem was old, so I thought it might not have even been the lightening. Nothing else in home was injured by storm. I am freaking out and need help!!! I can't use my MACbook to do my internet work and all my files were backed up on the time capsule.
Another problem. My Time Machine isn't backing up now either. What is up with that?
I would be soooo grateful if someone can help me! Thanks a million!

A PC can have more issues connecting than a Mac.
But it really should not matter.. so just try it in situ.. press and hold the reset.. once it starts up, it will return to default IP, 10.0.1.1 the PC should then be able to find it via the airport utility.
If not drag it over to the Mac and plug in there by ethernet.. or since it is a laptop, really should not be that difficult to drag the Laptop and plug it into the TC.
Important thing is to get access to the TC.
The Mac if it is running lion, then you MUST download and install 5.6 airport utility to do anything useful.

HP LaserJet P1102w - Flashing Wireless Light

My printer kept changing IP addresses thus I kept having to add a new printer to my wireless laptop. I wanted to stop this, so I went to the web interface of the printer (looked up the IP address of the printer it was finding on the network and typed that in my browser). I then went to the page that listed the IP configuration and switched it from automatic ip to manual ip and under manual ip address, typed in the ip address I wanted it to be (which was showing under my already installed printer but listed as offline). Once I did this, I could no longer see the printer on my network. The wireless light is flashing blue and I have no idea how to get back into the interface to change it back to automatic ip (I tried typing in the ip address I changed it to, but that didn't work). I went through the hp wireless configuration wizard that was installed on the computer the printer is usb connected to, and it sees my network, but at the end, it says "the printer was able to successfully connect to the wireless networking using the wireless credentials, but this computer is unable to communicate with the printer". I went into my router's (Motorola) web browser to see if I could see it under the DHCP section, but those ip addresses listed didn't bring up an hp web interface

Wireless light flashing, you are not connected to your routers SSID. Reset the printer back to Factory Defaults and try again. But try the following.
1. Set a static IP in the printer (click here) outside the DHCP range of the router (check your manual).
   This is for Linksys routers but can be used for all routers. Verify your DHCP range and change this
   first if needed. More Wireless Printing help is here.
2. Verify in the printer that 'Auto Off' is disabled. Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) by going to the
   printers IP address in your browsers address bar, click Settings Tab/Auto Off. Or use the Printer
   Assistant, Printer Home Page (EWS).
3. If the printer supports and has IPv6 enabled, turn off IPv6 in the printer.
In the router: (Refer to your router manual for information)
5. Use a fixed wireless channel like 1, 6 or 11, never 'auto', try channel 1 first then the rest.
6. Set router to 20Mhz only, or 145Mbps depending on router.
7. Always use WPA2-AES (Personal) encryption, but you can try ‘mixed’ mode.
8. Disable WPS and never use it and disable UPnP for the routers security. Nobody can hack your
   system now and helps with wireless connectivity (if you want to know why, search the web).
9. If you have a dual band router (2.4Ghz and 5.0Ghz bands), make sure the SSID’s are NOT the same,
   they must be different for all bands, even for any Guest networks.
10. SSID broadcast must be enabled.
11. Save all settings. Power off both, wait 2 mins. Power on router wait 2 mins.
12. Power on printer and verify it reconnects to router.

The light on the front of my Appletv keeps blinking and it will not connect

THe light on my Appletv is blinking and it will not connect.

My Apple TV version 3 shut down a few days ago in the middle of watching a movie and it was flashing continuously
I could not get it to work at all I tried resetting it, all I got was a Macintosh apple logo on my TV screen
and nothing else. I had no connection to my iMac with Air Parrot software, or from my new macbook Air with Airplay.
Airplay was no longer visible to select on my macbook Air.
So I connected it to my Mac desktop, using USB and a power cord, to reset it back to factory defaults, as directed by Apple.
This took approx 90 mins to complete, then I had to set it up again…….BUT I cannot get it to work it refuses to
accept any password, and I have updated to a new password today but it will not accept it….
I presumed, I use the same Apple ID username & password that I use for iTunes and iMac etc for my Apple TV also ?
or does Apple TV have a different username & password ?
any ideas
Thanks

WRV200 Wireless light keeps blinking, no clients connected.

Hi,
Sorry if this is a silly question, but im wondering why my linksys wrv200 wireless light on the router keeps blinking even though my wireless laptop is not turned on? I checked the router status and no other clients are connected so im puzzled as to why the wireless activity light is blinking which shows activity as per the manual.
Is this normal??
Thanks

The DHCP client table only contains the computers which requested an IP address from your router. Any device/computer with a static IP address will never appear in that list. You cannot tell if a wireless client with a static IP address is still connected or not.
Wireless clients may (more likely) appear in the wireless client list. I don't know if the WRV200 has it or not. Usually you'll find the wireless client list by going to the wireless MAC filter setup tab. Enable the filter if it is not enabled (no need to save the setting), press edit filter list, and it pops up a window where you have another button "wireless client mac list". That button shows you a window of active and inactive wireless clients with their IP address. Any static IP address client should appear there, too. (If the list is not there, search the manual for it...)
You could make another test: change the SSID temporarily on the router to something else. A longer random string. Setup WPA2 with a random preshared key. Save the settings. Disconnect all computers from the router. Still blinking? Unplug the modem connection from the router. Still blinking? If the router is still blinking with nothing wired to it and a wireless network that nobody knows (yet), well, that should clearly indicate a router problem (or at least a wireless light problem). If that is the case it should not be too hard to bring the router back to the shop and show them what is happening.Message Edited by gv on 12-18-200605:43 PM

Many thanks.
Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up").
In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Next, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Num/Cap lock blinking and computer screen not starting

ok. i have a HP pavilion entertainment pc dv7 notebook.
1)    For the last 3 weeks my screen would turn off randomly. maybe once every other day or so on. The computer would stay on and my ligths on the keyboard,( VOL bar, Multimedia buttons, Wifi button, Mute button, Caps lock and Num lock) .Only thing that would turn off is my Monitor. Sometimes when it turns off my speakers would make a status sound across the sound bar. But i can be on my computer for hours, or even leave my computer on for days with the screen open and it wont do anything.
2)   then for that last few days i notice when i turn on my computer everything would turn on EXCEPT THE MONITOR. then i hold down the power button and turn it back on and it starts up fine.
3) Then yesterday when i tried turning it on. Same thing monitor wouldnt turn on but my NUM/Caps lock would blink. So again i would turn the laptop off , turn it back on and now its up and running
I really rely on my computer so i was considering taking it to a local tech but i wanna know the issue so he doesnt give me some kinda Jive turkey story. I would just start rening a computer from Aarons rent but dont think there computers are any good for my gaming. Starcraft 2, league of legends ecct.

Hi,
Please try a hard reset and see if it works.
1. Power off your laptop
2. Remove the a/c adapter, battery and everything that is attached to your laptop.
3. Hold the 'POWER 'button down on your laptop for about 10 seconds.
4. Plug in the a/c power supply (without battery) and power on.
Please check the following link for more information:

Amber Light Keeps Blinking

Amber light keeps blinking. I have been unable to set up wireless and never get a green light. Connection to internet works via cable to the Airport base station. I have done numerous resets and with power on off cycle per instructions on page 29. This is a brand new unit, arrived today, so it has never been working. I have hit the reset button both with power on and while powering up. Did a firmware update too. Still no luck. Is this a defective unit since it will not reset? I have also done complete resets with the DSL modem cycled off and back on, Base station off and brought back to power, and MacBook Pro cycled on and off too.
Should I call the vendor and ask for a replacement?
Popadave

Hello popadave. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
A persistent, flashing amber light indicates that any of the several potential conditions may require your attention:
o The base station has not yet been configured because it is new, or the reset switch has been set.
o You have selected a security configuration that is not recommended.
o One of several other conditions, such as a disconnected Ethernet cable or invalid IP address has been detected.
(ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305101)
If you run the AirPort Utility, it will show an amber circle on the summary page next to the area(s) causing the problem. Click on this amber circle and it should provide an explanation.
Please post back what you find.

Laptop won't start quickly but power wifi and caps lock light keeps blinking

Hi, it has happened before too but rarely but nowadays it happens on daily purposes.
When I switch on my laptop after leaving it for 8-9 hrs, it won't start up but instead power, wifi and caps lock light keep blinking. I tried removing battery and pressing power button for few minutes but nothing happens. Then i left it like that with lights blinking and after 15 20 minutes it booted. I did same yesterday too. I left it like that it booted after 20 minutes..so My question is "why is this happening? Is it a motherboard issue or is it because of cold moisturous weather here and laptop takes time to get warm up?" Should I show it to HP Service center?

Hi @Nishant5788
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you are having a problem getting your notebook to boot up normally. As for what is causing the problem the blinking Caps Lock should tell us what is causing the problem as it should be blinking in a pattern. This HP document Computer Does Not Start and LEDs blink has a chart that will tell you what the blink codes mean.
This is most likely a hardware issue and you can give us a call regarding repair options. You can reach HP Total Care at 1-800-474-6836 in North America or start here if you live outside of North America.
