HP Laserjet P1102w Linux driver cannot find wireless device in printer

When using the (ubuntu 12.04) HP Device Manager to configure the HP Laserjet P1102w Wifi, The device is recognized, but when I go to step three by clicking next, I get this message: “Unable to locate wireless hardware on device”. As a result, when clicking on OK, the only option, I get the following message: “Unable to turn on wireless adapter”. I follow the directions but this is always the result. I only have linux computers here and it is a bummer that I have to borrow someones Window’s computer to set it up. I really do not want to have to keep doing that..... Can anyone help? and thanks in advance.

Thank you Advance23 for the reply, I installed using that link already, the problem is that, the software is Unable to locate the wireless hardware on the printer. I have used 3 computers and same result. If, however, i use a windows computer to get the wireless device working on the printer, i have success.. I had to barrow that computer, and since then have changed service providers and have to activate the wireless device in the printer again. i do not have a windows computer to complete the task at hand.
that aside, all of the other items in the device manager work fine, and as long as i use a usb cable, i can print. I do not buy this printer for that reason, however, I wanted a wireless printer in my home. So there we are... kind of stuck right now. wishing the software would do what it claims to do.

Windows 8 driver cannot find HP Officejet Pro L7590 ethernet printer on my new router

I'm changing to a new router and had to change the IP address of my ethernet Officejet Pro L7590 from fixed assigned 192.168.1.7 into fixed assigned 192.168.2.168 (my new provider provided router doesn't support the 192.168.1.xx range). At installation my PC Driver cannot find my HP Officejet Pro L7590 ethernet printer, both not by it's search function, nor by giving the specific new IP address. Browsing and login into the printer by adressing the new Static IP address works however fine: de printer is well attached. What do I wrong with at PC driver installation, any suggestions to have the printer coupled to the PC driver?
Update: Connecting the printer directly to the router instead of via a switch solved the problem!

The Officejet Pro L7590 unfortunately will not be updated to support AirPrint. Check out my [FAQ|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2658560&tstart=0] thread for some other options.
Just trying to help.

Sometimes cannot find wireless networks??

i've looked around on a couple messege boards, but they didn't seem to be exactly the same problem i was having.
essentially, after waking up from sleep or hibernate, i sometimes cannot find wireless networks. the wireless switch will be on, Fn + F5 says my wireless is on, yet nothing can be found. strangely, when i try to turn off wireless, whether it's through Fn +F5, or the hardware switch, the light below the monitor remains ON. basically, i can't even turn it off. when i do click the button to try and turn off wireless, it gives me the busy cursor and eventually the whole menu disappears.
the way to fix this is by restarting.
just today, however, i suffered this same problem, even though i wasn't coming back from sleep or hibernate - it just lost connection randomly and then couldn't find any networks. attempts to turn off wireless failed.
is there a solution? is this actually the same problem that was remedied by changing a power setting?
thanks in advance.

Yeah I'm having this problem too, with my antique T41 running XP. It used to be rock solid it seemed to change when I installed XP SP3.
I have tried reinstalling the Intel drivers but that hasn't helped. It seems when it restarts after hibernate (and occasionally at other times, as with the previous poster) it somehow doesn't lock on to the signal or it gets confused in the protocol or something. It doesn't always happen though - about one in three. Rebooting cures it...until the next time....
any assistance / ideas most welcome, thanks.
PS I'm using Windows Zero Configuration not Access Connections. That was a change some years ago that made it work better so I'm inclined to stick with that unless someone can tell me why not....

The Operating System returned Error 27(The drive cannot find the sector requested.)

On a Windows 2008 R2 server running SQL 2008 Standard on a Raid 5, when performing a backup on the databases via copy to another local drive I receive and The operating system returned error 27(The drive cannot find the sector requested.) to SQL Server during
a write at offset 0x0000002fd204000 in the file F:\SQLDATA\Email_Images.mdf. The server is a HP DL380p Gen8. I've contacted HP thinking this was a Hardware issue but HP ensure me its not and to contract Microsoft support.

Hi,
Unfortunately, the available information is not enough to have a clear view of the occurred behavior. Please offer us what backup method you are using, did you want to backup
the data to the CSV, the origional error you have got.
1. The best method would be to have separate disk drive for each cluster SQL instance and add the disk to the specific SQL group and add it to the dependency of the SQL resource.
There would be less overhead with this process other than having to create two disks, one of each instance
2. You could consider creating a file sharing resource on cluster and add the backup disk to this resource group and use it to back up the databases of both the instances
to single disk. The down side of this method would be, all the databases backups will fail if the fileshare resource goes down. You cannot use GUI to take the backup, need additional setup/maintenance for the fileshare resource group

I have an iPhone 4S that is locked with a password & cant remember password. when I connect to my computer it says that it cannot find the device driver. How can i fix this?

Hello jlb1977,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
Best of luck,
Mario

Upgrade to K7N2 - Win2K cannot find bootable device

I just tried upgrading my system to a K7N2. When Win2K loads (during the white logo'ed screen with the progress bar) it gives a BSOD with something like "Cannot find bootable device" (I forget the exact phrase). I've had to swap back to my previous MB and Win2K is fine so the disk isn't corrupt which was my first worry.
If I booted to DOS via floppy, all FAT32 partitions were readable. If I booted using the Win2K floppies, all NTFS partitions looked fine.
I beleive I have the HDD Access mode set correctly - it was set to LRG on my old system. (If I set it to anything else, it will just hang before Win2k loads).
I guess (or rather hope) its a BIOS setting that's wrong, but I can't figure out which.
This has got me stumped. Any clues/suggestions would be gratefully received.

Uninstall the IDE controllers in the system device managers page..............reboot and install M$ reference ide contollers check them and see if that is so.....if not then you will have to manually install them...........save and exit........place the hddrive back on the other mb and see if that will get you into widows.......from there you can update the ide controllers from the MSI cd.....
If all else fails boot the system to the windows cd and do a windows repair of the systems HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer)
skip the ASR and go to repair................ navigate to the c:windows> prompt, and type..............(example here e: is the cdrom drive where the windows cd is loaded and c: is the drive you have windows running on.)

[SOLVED] cannot find root device after pacman -Syu

Today I had a problem after pacman -Syu. Of course, my problem stemmed from not paying attention to the following (from https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57205):
<b>Read pacman's output while upgrading.</b>
I could no longer boot. I received a message "cannot find root device" or something similar indicating a device with the appropriate UUID had not been found and I was being dropped into a recovery shell, then, when I typed exit, an emergency shell, followed shortly by a freeze.
After some investigation it appeared my initramfs was broken/non-existent/something after the install. I booted into a live CD and found that updating pacman again, and mkinitcpio -p linux both displayed the following error: "Failed to create temporary working directory in /tmp". Long story short: mktemp was segfaulting. This should be extremely easy to check if you're having a similar problem. I replaced it with the version on the live CD and ran the pacman update again. Success. If you do this, you may need to make sure your live cd architecture and installed kernel architecture are the same.
I'm not sure of the etiquette here, so I'm posting this in case someone else has the same problem I did; and benefits from a similar solution. I have checked the etiquette post and I don't think it's clear whether it's kosher to post things that don't actually require a solution. However, if I have misinterpreted the rules/etiquette and/or this type of post is considered extraneous please remove it.

You have to use lvm first. As all those vg*, lv*, and pv* commands are actually links to the lvm command, you should have to do something like "lvm vgscan" instead of just "vgscan".
Edit: oh and at that point in the boot process, you are actually in the initramfs still (ash to be specific).
Edit2: I was having issues with a USB keyboard and a new machine (actually just a new bios), and found out that because of windows 8's requriement for a fast POST, the default is to turn off the scanning for usb devices. Though this was for UEFI, and I am not sure if the same would apply for a bios booting machine...

Dick,
You should be looking in the Mavericks forum, Maps is integrated into Mavericks so you will probably find some clues there. Also here is an article you may find useful:
