HP Laserjet P1102W - Not found on Wireless network

I have a HP Laserjet P1102W.  The  printer is on my wireless network and I am able to use the printer successfully on one computer.  However I am tyring to set up the print on a new computer and it does not see the printer as an available printer...
The computer that is able to see the printer is right next to the printer that is not.  Help!

Hello, sorry that you are experiencing this issue. Have you checked to make sure the new computer network is the same as the one the printer is connected to?
Check the static IP address and see if they are on the same network.

  • HP Laserjet P1102W not connecting to wireless network

    Hi,
    yesterday I tried to install my new Laserjet P1102W with wireless capabilities. The first setup went fine and I was able to print wireless from my pc. But when the printer went in sleep mode I had to redo the wireless setup to get it connected.
    So I searched for a possible firmware update on the Ducth HP site, found the lastest firmware (20110826) and followed the instruction to upgrade it. But the upgrade took more than 20 minutes, and th lights on the printer didn't blink. So I pressed the power button again to wake it up, printed a selftest page and did see that the firmware was updated.
    But then the problems started, the printer only gets a 169. ip address while I've setup the wireless correctly (tried manual and automatic setup) while I expect it to get a 192. address. And ofcourse I cannot print anymore via the wireless connection.
    So I tried to find an older firmware to put back on the printer, but with no luck. Also tried to re-apply the latest firmware, but then I get the message that the printer is already up to date.
    Is there a possiblility to force the firmware update to run again? Or can I get an older firmware from HP?
    Best regards
    Rob

    I had the same problem, I was able to connect into my wireless network when I installed the printer (using the CD that came with it) and was able to print but when I turned off the printer and turned it back on  it won't connect to my computer
    and my wireless network.  I did the same thing you did reinstall but get that 169 IP address.  Believe me I was on the phone with the Geek Squad tech for almost 2 hours and the problem was not solved so he told me to just keep the printer on so I don't lose connection.  Same thing with the 1st HP tech support who tried to help me.  He even changed something in my internet security but did not solve the problem at all.  The second HP tech support worked on it too and finally told me that it could be my router.  I have an old Linksys wireless G router so I decided to buy a new router and bought the Netgear N600 WNDR34000v2 and reinstall the printer and everything worked fine.  Also before you install the printer driver be sure to uninstall the printer program (go to Control Panel-Programs and Features) and also disable your firewall because it could also cause problems in the installation.  Now all my 5 computers in my network are using the printer and I can turn it on and off with no problems at all in printing.

  • HP LaserJet P1102w not connecting to wireless

    We have a fairly new printer, P1102w, only three months old. It is now not connecting to the wireless anymore. I've tried to reconfigure the wireless connection but it cannot find my network SSID anymore. I attempted putting it in manually but no luck. The firmware is up to date so that should not be a problem. Any suggestions?

    What is the status of the wireless light on the front panel right now???  Power off printer, power off router.  Power on router and wait 3 mins.  Power on printer and verify it connects to your router.  Status of the wireless light now?

  • Airport Express (1st generation) does not reconnect to wireless network after router is cycled on/off

    Operating System: os x 10.9.1
    Airport Utility 6.3.2
    Airport Express 802.11n (1st generation)
    Linkus router: Model WRT310Nv2, Firmware Version 2.0.01
    Motorola Cable Modem: Model 2210-02, Firmware 7.7.3r5
    The Airport Express (AE) is setup to join my wireless network using Airport Utility.  A printer is connected to the AE with a USB cable.  After the setup the AE light is green and the printer can be accessed over the wireless network.
    The problem starts if the router is cycled off/on.  Now the AE will not rejoin the wireless network and there is a non-flashing amber light.  If the power to the AE is cycled off/on the AE reconnects to the wireless network.
    This is about as handy as a screen door on a submarine.
    Is it possible to see the setting of the AE the same way the modem and router settings can be accessed?   Can this issue be fixed?

    If they send you a replacement printer it will have ink tanks with it.  You can store the ink tanks from your current printer and use them later on you "new" printer if you wish.  Store them nozzle-up so they do not leak.

  • IPad could not scan for wireless networks

    My iPad 2 was bought in April 2011. And just a few hours ago it suddenly disconnected from my home WIFI.
    I tried to reconnect it, but it either kept scanning the network or kept prompting the warning message "iPad could not scan for wireless networks".
    My Macbook Pro, iPhone and another iPad 3 were all working fine with my two different WIFI points at home yet only my iPad 2 couldn't scan both WIFI at all.
    I have tried to:
    1. Reboot IOS (turn it off and on)
    2. Take out sim card
    3. Reset Network Settings
    4  Reset All Settings
    5. Restore iPad from iTune
    I've called Apple, obviously they had no clues about this problem and they just adviced me to send in my iPad 2 for 1-to-1 change.
    This seems to be a common unsolved issue for apple users. Has anyone solved this before?
    Now I'm worrying will my iPad 3 get the same issue in future. it makes me quite frustrated

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • TS1559 could not scan for wireless networks.

    Wifi not working on my Iphone.  All I get is "Could not scan for wireless networks."  Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    If no change after powering the iPhone off and on and/or after a reset which is similar to a computer restart, try resetting network settings on the iPhone at Settings > General > Reset.
    If no change after that, try restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the backup but update the iPhone's backup immediately before doing so for later use.
    If no change after restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the iPhone's backup, the iPhone has a hardware problem.

  • TS1398 'could not scan for wireless networks' problem

    I keep getting 'could not scan for wireless networks' whenever I try to connect. I have turned wi-fi off/on, restarted my network, iPod touch, and the home modem. What are some other options for fixing this problem?

    Try:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod

  • Error: "can not scan for wireless networks" 1st gen iphone running 3.1.2

    My iphone will no longer scan for wireless networks. I am running an airport network via my imac and the rest of the computers, as well as two iphone 3GS phones can see it, but my 1st Gen iphone now gives me the error "can not scan for wireless networks". I have done the Home + Power button thing, reset the network settings and no help yet.
    Any suggestions?

    OK. There are reports of bad wifi chips, but lets try some more things first.
    I assume your router is set to b/g compatible & not "n" only, correct? The iphone only works on g. Next, try this: Shut down the WiFi, and turn off "Ask to Join Networks". Then turn the iPhone completely off, by holding the top button down until the red slider came up, slid it off, and wait a few moments.
    Turn the phone back on, then turn on the WiFi, and then "Ask to Join Networks".
    See if that helps.

  • "could not scan for wireless networks" iphone6 or iOS 8?

    new iPhone 6 with iOS 8.  Wifi works fine for a few hours and then drops.  The wifi connect screen sits there spinning and if I attempt a manual connecation I get the message:
    "could not scan for wireless networks"
    Only solution so far has been rebooting. 
    No issues with older devices and iOS 8.  Just the iPhone 6.
    As this issue seems to come out every time Apple release new hardware I am hoping it's just a bug that will be squashed and as such wanted to bring it up on the forums.  Will also report to support. 

    Hi Uncle Ook,
    From what I've read, other iPhone 6 users have experience this issue too. I've read that by doing these steps it may help resolve your issue:
    Open Settings
    General
    Reset
    Reset Network Settings
    Enter your Passcode if prompted
    Tap Reset Network Settings
    What this will do is reset your network settings. By doing this we'll reset any issues to default settings that'll help fix your issue by setting the network settings to default settings.
    You'll see a series of different screens. This is normal. Just wait until it's completely done. You'll know when it's done when it takes you to the lock screen. You'll need to unlock your iPhone after that and try reconnecting to your wireless network that you were attempting to join. I'm not sure however that these steps will help permanently or temporarily, but I'm sure Apple will fix this issue within the next update that comes out. I hope this helps, and if you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask.

  • Iphone 4S Message - "Could not scan for Wireless Networks"

    For the last couple of days I have been getting a message, "Could not scan for wireless networks" when I try to connect to WiFi. WiFi connection is sporadic and intermitent at best when I do mange to connect. My phone is set to automatically recognize and connect to familiar networks. All other devices in the area currently have no issue recognizing and connecting to my home WiFi network. I have reset, turned on and off phone. Thanks for anyones suggestions. I have a feeling a trip dowtown to visit Apple is in the cards?

    Hello there, MattBrear.

  • Iphone 4s "Could not scan for wireless networks"

    I haven't had any issues with wifi except for today, when I noticed that my phone would not recognize my home wifi. I checked, and the wifi here is working fine. My roommate's iphone is connecting fine. My laptop is connecting fine. When I try to connect manually to my network, I get the message "could not scan for wireless networks". I have tried restarting my phone. I've tried just turning wifi/airplane mode on and off and there is no improvement. I've also reset network settings and still nothing.
    Forgive my ignorance, but I am not a tech person so if anyone can help you kind of need to phrase things like you're talking to a small child. Please though, if anyone has any suggestions I would SO appreciate it!

    Could this be the problem?
    iPhone 4 Modem Firmware : 3.0.04
    iPhone 4S Modem Firmware : 2.0.10
    Wifi is working on my iPhone 4, NOT on 4S -
    Why is my new 4S I got yesterday using a 2.0.10 firmware, isn't that old?! Isn't the newest 4.0+?
    I am so tired of trying to figure this out.
    The Wi-Fi addresses in the About settings are different on both phones too.

  • HT3728 I do not need another wireless network but want to use the airport express for printer access only.  Can this be done and how?

    I do not need another wireless network but want to use the airport express for printer access only.  Can this be done and how?

    You can configure the AirPort Expess to "Join a wireless network" and enable the Ethernet port so that Ethernet devices will be able to connect.
    In order to print from the iOS devices, you will need to have an application like Printopia installed on your Mac. The Mac must be active when you want to print.
    More details here: Printopia - AirPrint to Any Printer - Print from iPad - Print from iPhone ...
    There is a free trial available for Printopia, so make sure that it will work before you buy the AirPort Express.
