HP Laserjet P1102W Printer Wireless Setup Issues on a Mac

Numerous Problems trying to setup a wireless network on HP1102W laserjet printer on a mac and problems with printer going into sleep mode and then trying to wake the printer to print.
Nothing seems to work.

Hi @duffysnr ,
I see that you are having issues setting up the printer on the wireless network and the printer goes into sleep mode and won't wake up. I can help you, but I will need some more information to provide the proper steps to try and resolve this issue.
What version of Mac are you using? Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
What kind of router or Airport are you using?
Print off a configuration page, let me know what the first 3 sets of the IPv4 address is and if the SSID is your network name. Printing a Configuration Page.
If you have a valid IP address for the printer then try and access the Embedded Web Server for the printer.
Type the IPv4 address into your web browser's address bar. Does it load the page for the printer?
Have a great day!
Thank You.

Connecting HP LaserJet P1102w printer to wireless network

I have been trying to connect my HP LaserJet P1102w printer to my wireless network for a couple days now. I put the disk in and follow the instructions. When I get to the part about plugging in the USB to the desktop computer and turning on the printer, and it says the USB isn't connected when it is (the printer is on). I don't know what to do.

Hi @tripleaaz ,
I can help you with setting up the printer over the wireless network.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet and the USB cable is connected directly to one of the back USB ports on the computer.
The USB cable shouldn't be longer then 6 feet.
Is the cable a 2.0 or 3.0 cable? How to determine whether a USB 3.0 device is operating at SuperSpeed?
Is the USB port on the computer 2.0 or 3.0?
Follow these steps in this document to get to the device manager to check for any printer entries.
How do I get into Windows Device Manager?
Then click on Identifying problems in Windows Device Manager.
In the list click on Universal Serial Bus controllers and look for USB mass storage device and USB printing support, (make sure any other printers are turned off or disconnected) right click and uninstall it. If you have any others with exclamation mark or other devices in the list, delete them also.
Let me know what it showed in the device manager.
Then click on Action, across the top of the window and scan for new hardware.
If the printer wasn't listed at all in the Device Manager, try another USB port on the computer and another USB cable.
Restart the computer and the printer also to see if the printer will be detected.
If the printer still isn't recognized, if you have another computer, connect the printer to it to see if it is recognized.
Just to rule out a USB port on the computer, USB cable or hardware issue with the USB port on the printer.
What operating system are you using? How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
Let me know how that goes and what the results were.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Manual Duplexing use on a HP Laserjet P1102w printer-How is it done?

This is a first using a manual duplex option on a printer and I have been unable to print on both sides of an HP Laserjet P1102w printer, despite doing the following:
Went to Print Setup
Under Finish: chose Print on Both Sides Manually
Left edge binding
and although it prints....I can't seem to get the 'booklet' to print correctly on the other side; Not even sure how to correctly get the paper in so it doesn't double print on the same page.
: I've tried to print first reverse pages,
then even pages in reverse,
but still unable to get the pages in order to fold and create a booklet or print multiple pages on both sides...has anyone had experience with this on what is the best way to try and print documents in booklet form or just both pages to save paper?
Is there a driver or support that will help with this?
No visual screen pops up on the monitor to help with placing the papers so it will print correctly and I have already tried with just a 6 page booklet and failed there.
I've tried googling the results, checked the HP website for any information and either have missed the support information to do this or assume there is none.
Any insight would be appreciated.

HP LaserJet P1102w prints fine on test prints and Word 2000 but not Access 2000

HP LaserJet P1102w prints dark, regular looking copy on everything but reports generated from Access 2000. Those printouts have the letters outlined with shaded filling - I am printing bold size 16 to 24. Have tried several fonts with same problem. I have Windows XP Professional, version 2002. No error messages appear.

Hi there,
Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:

It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.

Trouble with getting the wireless to work with HP Laserjet P1102w printer

Hi really struggling
I just bought the HP Laserjet P1102w as it was advised that it would run my apple products (Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard laptop and ipad).
I have mangaed to set up printer to work using the USB cable to the laptop. Success.
BUT i am finding it impossible to get it to work with wireless on any devices.
I get as far as network selection in set up and nothing is in the list (unlike USB which has the printer named) - so i click the 'create' button and input my network/SSID code , which is a BTHub. I assume this is correct? Or is it an address to be found elsewhere ? I have downloaded driver and software (update HP Firmware utility)
which I believe to be correct from the HP.com website for the operating sytem of the mac.
I have also followed a number of videos but often the process does not follow the video sequences.
I have tried to speak to PC Word 'know how team' who sold me the printer but they had no knowledge at all to help this situation. Any help would be much appreciated - this seems l ongoing problem for some other users.

Hi @bgriffiths60 ,
I understand that you are having issues setting up the printer over the wireless network. I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
To check your network Encryption type, go to the Apple, System Preferences, Network, click the Advanced button/double click the network name. (shows WEP or WPA)
To check the network password follow these steps:
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, select Applications, Utilities, Keychain Access, double click the network name,
check the box to show the password, type in your Mac password to view it. (some networks have a shortcut password setup)
Make sure Safari is set as the default browser. Sometimes the Embedded Web Server won't open in other browsers.
Open Safari, across the top select the Safari menu, select Preferences, General, set as default.
Restore the printer defaults: Turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and cancel (x button) while turning the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise.
Print out a configuration report and make sure the SSID and IPv4 address are cleared.
HP LaserJet Pro P1102 and P1106/P1108 Printer Series - Printing a Configuration Page.
Go to the Apple, System Preferences, Print and Fax.
Double click on the P1102w.
Open the Utility.
Click Printer Setup.
Click HTML config.
This should open the Embedded Web Server for the printer.
Click the Networking tab.
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 so the network name moves over to other box.
From the Security Mode pop-up menu under Authentication , click WEP, WPA/WPA2 or open . Your selection depends on which Wireless Security Protocol your network uses.
Make sure you select either hexadecimal or alpha depending on your password. (very important)
Apply the settings.
In the confirmation box (changes have been saved), click OK.
You should get a solid blue light on the printer shortly.
Then all we have to do is delete the USB driver and add the network driver.
Click on the Apple.
Click System Preferences.
Click the Print and Fax icon.
Highlight the printer and click on the - sign to delete the printer. (USB driver)
Disconnect the USB cable.
Then click the + sign and select the printer from the list and click add. (P1102w Bonjour)
Test the printer.
If you have any issues with the HTML config opening then do the following steps:
Close any applications.
On the Apple menu bar, click Go, Computer, MAC harddrive, Library, Printers, HP, LaserJet, click on folder for your printer, click on EWS browser or HTML config, click the Networking tab, click wireless on the left and fill out your information. (make sure infrastructure is selected) Apply settings.
Then delete the USB driver and add the network printer.
If there is anything else that I can help you with just let me know.
Have a nice day!

Help setting up a Laserjet P1102w for wireless printing on a Mac

I'm trying to setup a Laserjet P1102w on my Mac for wireless printing, but it's not working. It will print fine using USB, but all the documentation for wireless setup is for Windows, not Mac. if I connect the printer via USB to my Mac, how will it get an IP address from my wireless network? Any help appreciated.

Hi Staxofjoy,
Based on the information you provided, and comparing to another post regarding this issue (link below) - It sounds like you are running 10.7 (Lion).
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/HP-Laserjet-P1102w-driver-for-Macbook-OS-X-Li...
Please go to the linked thread above, and look for the post by mikel1004 - he outlined the steps for connecting Adhoc to the printer very clearly.
Summary of what you will need to to:
1. Reset Printer to Defaults
2. Connect to printer via Adhoc from your Mac (This will disconnect you from your home wireless network)
3. Access HTML Config, and configure the printer's wireless settings manually from there.
4. Reconnect the Mac to the Home Network
5. Add the printer to the print queue.
Hope this helps

I have a HP Laserjet P1102w printer hooked up to the USB port of my Airport Extreme. I'm able to print to the printer wirelessly from my MacBook Pro. My iPad (2nd gen) can't find the printer. What do I need to do?

My iPad is on the same network as the Airport Extreme. The HP printer is on the list of Airprint printers but I'm not using it as a wireless printer, per se, as it's hooked up to the USB port on the Airport Extreme.
I installed the HP ePrint app on my iPad. Unfortunately, the app could not find the printer either.
As mentioned earlier, I'm able to print wirelessly to the HP printer via my MacBook Pro.

Since I'm able to print to the HP printer from my MacBook Pro using this configuration, shouldn't I be able to print to the printer from my iPad, especially when all of the devices are on/using the same network?
Not necessarily. AirPrint uses a protocol separate from the communication protocol used for the Extreme's USB port. The HP printer may disable AirPrint when its USB port connected to a valid device, which is my reason for recommending you use it wirelessly.
From AirPrint Basics:
AirPrint printers connected using Bluetooth or shared through a USB port of a Mac, PC, AirPort Base Station, or Time Capsule are not supported.
AirPrint printers connected by Ethernet are supported in OS X.
You may get more competent assistance from HP. See this HP support forum topic: iPhone & iPad can't Airprint to p1102w LaserJet
HP's Mac support has always been miserable though. I have been much happier since I abandoned HP and started buying Brother printers. They just work.

HP laserjet pro M1536dnf wireless setup to use Air print

Since I trying to print from my new Ipad Air, excuse my newbie networking printing questions!
This what I know so far:
1. I understand my HP laserjet pro M1536dnf is 'not' a WiFi printer.
2. As per HP Support and the Apple Support web sites, my HP laserjet pro M1536dnf is 'Air Print' enabled. I guess a certain firmware update must of incorporated the Air Print capabilty!
3. As per HP Support web site, I currently have the latest firmware installed ( 20130815 ).
Note: On my Config Report, it shows the status for both IPv4 and IPv6 as 'Network Cable Disconnected '. I have Show IP address as enabled.
3. My home setup has the cable internet going from my cable modem to my wireless Linkys E3200 router via coaxial cable. From my router to my computer is wired via the Ethernet cable. My HP Laserjet 1536dnf printer is wired to my computer via USB cable.
Questions:
1. Going from I seen and read on on-line, is correct to say 'I will have to change my Ethernet cable going from the router to the computer and change it to from the router to the printer's Ethernet port?
2. Will I have to remove the USB from Printer to the computer?
3. By removing the USB cable between the printer and the computer, how would my computer communicate to the printer to perform a print job? Unless, I'm guessing, I add another Ethernet cable between the router and my computer's ethernet port!
4. Any other tips, that I might have missed?
This question was solved.

Status = Disabled
Communication mode = Infrasructure
Network Name = Unnown

Install on Linux and works fine on usb. Any ideas before I send it back?
Thanks.

Hi John1222...
It wasn't clear that your question was ever answered and, since I had the same problem which I've just resolved after several hours, I thought I'd post something that hopefully will help you or others with the same problem.
My P1102w arrived with wireless disabled, so the blue wireless light would just blink for a while and then shut off. To address this, I had to follow the instructions from Mandy_G scattered across the exchange at http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/HP-LaserJet-P1102w-amp-Mountain-Lion-Wireless...
Basically:
1. Uninstall any existing drivers for the printer you've already installed and removed the printer from the printer list.
2. Download and install the driver for 10.7 (there isn't one for 10.8, apparently) at http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=bi-80684-8&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
3. Install the firmware update at http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4142&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=4110...
4. Once installed, go into System Preferences, Print and Scan, and for the P1102w select Options & Supplies and then select Utility. Make sure the USB cable connects your printer to your computer and then click on Open Printer Utility, which will open a webpage.
5. Follow the instructions at the YouTube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c972ybZvZzo on how to set-up the wireless configuration. You will first need to Enable your wireless settings, but you'll see where that needs to be done before continuing with the video instructions.
Hope that works for you.

Hp LaserJet P1102w 'Printer may be out of toner' message

My printer was working (almost) fine with a regular USB wired setup from my MacBook Pro, when I upgraded my OS to Yosemite it began to claim 'Printer may be out of toner' so I installed a new cartridge (needed one anyway) and the same issue arises. I've tried reinstalling it, reseting to factory defaults etc. but to no avail. I'm now trying to connect it to the Wireless Network in the hope it might print from there but not as yet. Any help much appreciated...

Hi @bpnwainwright ,
I understand that you are getting a error that the "Printer may be out of toner", since upgrading to Yosemite. I will certainly do my best to help you.
Since the printer was working properly before upgrading to Yosemite, most likely it is just a driver issue.

How to get P1102w printing wirelessly

I have given up trying to get my LaserJet P1102w to print wirelessly. I have tried hours and hours of troubleshooting and resintalling.
I just shared it and will print that way.
How do I turn off the wireless functionality? I can log into the web interface with the wired desktop, but I can't find what setting I can turn off.
EDIT: I saw online a reference to directions to simply press the wireless button. I did that, but then printed a configuration page, which still gave the printer an IP that was not 0.0.0.0, so I can only assume that this printer is still broadcasting a wireless signal.
This question was solved.

Hi paulri,
That is great. I am sure we will be able to get you up and running over the wireless network in no time.
I would reset the printer first to clear out any previous network settings.
Turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and cancel (x button) while turning the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise.
Print out a configuration report and make sure the SSID and IP address are cleared.
Printing a Configuration Page.
Verify your Encryption and Password for your network.

Connect the USB cable from the printer to the computer, if it isn't already.
Then run the Wireless configuration to setup the printer on the network again.
Go to Start, All Programs, HP, HP Laserjet P1102w, then select Wireless Configuration.
(if the software isn't listed, run the CD for the printer to install the printer software as a USB connection)
Run through the steps to configure the wireless.
Then disconnect the USB cable.
Test the printer over the wireless network.
If you have any issues, please print off another Configuration Page with the IPv4 address and let me know if it lists your network name. (SSID)

HP LaserJet P1102w - printer offline - Windows Vista ??

We have a new HP printer LaserJet P1102w and my laptop has Windows Vista. I am unable to print - message is always "printer offline" - can anyone assist with how to fix this issue. I would appreciate any help - we are totally unable to use this pirnter. Thanks!

Hello,
According to the information you provided, it is really difficult to diagnostic the issue. But there are several things may good for you to check:
1. Did the printer work before? If yes, you may seeking what' the difference may lead to this offline issue.
2. How do you connect P1102w to your PC? I suggest that you use USB connection to test
3. If you connect it via wireless, could you double check whether the router working fine?
4. Please make sure the printer is power on and connected to the PC successfully, otherwise "offline" is the accurate status for it.
Hope it helps.

HP LaserJet P1102w prints EXTREMELY slow over Wi-Fi

I've been struggling with this problem for a long time, but today this totally freaked me out. I was ready to throw away this piece of ..printer! Problem is simple. When I'm trying to print wirelessly something with graphics (jpeg pictures or photos) from my iPhone, iPad iOS 8.4 or MacBook OS X 10.10 Yosemite, it takes forever! Word document, PDF, from Preview or other programs - same result! I just couldn't pring 9 page document today, after 20 minutes I gave up. What's happening. Let's say I'm using mac. Print task goes to printer queue, as usual. After that, this task shows in queue as "connecting to printer", green light starts blinking on printer, as usual. This is taking a minute or two, that's what unusual. After that, "starting printing page 1". It can take 1, 2, 3 minutes... forever! Next, either ONE page actually prints (for 5-7 minute mark at this point) and it takes same time to print page two and so on, or (likely) it will spit out unfinished page (only couple of inches printed and the rest of the page is blank) and show an error, orange light blinking. UGH!!! I gave up on iPhone/iPad long time ago, since they can't show print queue and therefore it's unpredictable result. You can wait 10 minutes for your document, then leave, and later on just find the document printed when you no longer need it (or half of the document). I do not have this problem when printing just text, emails, simple confirmation pages from safari and so on. Only when printing document with graphics or heavy pdf. I do not have this problem when connecting printer via USB (discovered this today). Now what really bugs me, it's the fact that I was actually able to print heavy PDF from Windows machine with no problem, wirelessly (I did have problem printing exact same document from my mac). WHAT IS GOING ON?! I've googled this problem and found that I'm not alone. I've updated all software and firmware, I've tried to reset everything - NO DICE! This is really very frustrating. I was thinking this is because of small memory of the printer, but why it works perfectly via USB then? Anyway, this is a cry from the heart. Please help. The printer is good, but unusabe in some situations.

Hello ! Welcome to the HP Community.I hope you have a pleasant experience here! I'd like to help you with the slow printing that you are experiencing when printing images to your HP LaserJet P1102w wirelessly from your Apple devices. Thank you so much for the detailed description. Since the printer is able to print fine wirelessly from the windows machine, we know that the issue is not with the printer or the communication. The fact that none of the Apple devices are able to print images wirelessly without it being really slow, leads me to beleive it may be an Issue with the AirPrint driver or Bonjour protocol that your Apple devices use to communicate the information. Picture files are much larger, and a lot more data needs to be transmitted, so it is normal for them to take longer to print than a regular text document. However, if there is a marked difference in speed between the Windows computer and the Apple devices, then the issue is likely not just that the files are larger. I'd like to get you to make sure the printer is installed with the correct driver on your Mac. (Because there is no full feature HP software available for Mac 10.10 the operating system will often default to the AirPrint driver) Click the Apple icon on your Menu Bar.Select System Preferences.Select Printers and Scanners.Select your printer and then press the (-) button at the bottom of the list to remove it.Select the (+) and click Add Printers and Scanners. (NOTE: Do not select the printer from the list of Nearby printers as this will often automatically use the AirPrint driver)Select your printer (the one that shows Bonjour Multifunction under "Kind").At the bottom of the window under Use: does it say AirPrint? If so, click the drop down and you should see a specific driver for the printer. Click Add.Try printing an image again, and let me know the result.If this works to resolve the issue, then I would suggest downloading the HP ePrint app on your iPhone and iPad to print. It may be an incompatibilty issue between the AirPrint on your Apple devices and your router. I look forward to hearing back from you, and working towards a resolution for this issue.

Connecting HP Laserjet P1102W to wireless network (then getting drivers!)

Hi,
My macbook pro and HP LASERJET P1102W seemed to be communicating just fine when I had snow leapard. Post update to Mountain Lion, problems.
I have gotten the printer to work when connected via USB, however not consistently. (Often it cannot recognize when paper tray is filled, cannot do two sided printing and has other issues perhaps connected to the fact that software is missing?)
I have read the documentation on HP site, noting that the only way to install drivers is via a network connecton and airprint which requires a network connection.
Not sure this is the right place to ask this, but I will for now:
How do I connect my printer to my network, which is a new home network as I just changed from DSL to Cable?
Note: I had not previously ever connected my printer to my wireless network and set it up to work with Airprint, though that is one of the reasons I bought it.
Once I do connect the printer to my wireless network, perhaps then I can try to follow the steps on the HP site   http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03425022&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en &os=4142&product=4110396&sw_lang=
If anyone has experience with the above, I would love to hear it!
Final question: Is plugging the printer into the back of the new cable modem via ethernet or USB perhaps a way to put it on the wireless network? Not a convenient location, but if only alternative, I would try it.
THANKS!

Dear Happy-to-Help,
I appreciate you logging in to help. I shall give this a shot in the next couple of days when I have more time and let you know how it goes.
I have been quite frustrated by the fact that HP says if the HP Laserjet P1102W has worked fine with Snow Leapord and one upgrades to Mountain Lion, all the drivers will be automatically upgraded/updated (or whatever the term). That has not been the case at all.   It took quite a bit to even get my computer and printer to talk to one another via a USB connection—with none of the functions of the printer (as noted above) working properly to this day.
I hope your suggestion works. Will be back in touch to let you know.
