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 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.

  • Manual Duplexing use on a HP Laserjet P1102w printer-Ho​w 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.

  • Laserjet CM1415fnw - wireless printing extremely slow

    Hello,
    I've got my new CM1415fnw, set up wireless following instructions and installed OSX drivers on my Macbook. Printer is visible and manageable via HP utility, test page is printing extremely fast.
    The problem is, everything EXCEPT a test page is printing HIDEOUSLY slow - like 5 to 7 minutes after you sent anything to print, the printer finaly starts printing it... And if you're printing a multi-page document, it actually takes 5 to seven minutes for EVERY page to start printing!
    Obviously, something must be very wrong with this shiny new printer printing at cool speed of 8-10 pages PER HOUR, where my old Photosmart C7100 was happily printing about the same number of pages per minute? All wireless setting are the same in both cases, and as I already mentioned printer is visible and accessible, and test page prints blazingly fast. It's just that except for test page printing this device is pretty much useless at the moment...
    Are there any hints or something I should check to identify the problem? As I'm mentioned, I'm under OSX, so Windows-based HP diagnostic tools are not much help...

    Hello I just bought this printer a few days ago and set it up and have noticed the same problems with extremely slow network printing through the wireless. I have a 70 meg down fast internet connection & a Belkin 450n db wireless router. When I print photos it takes almost a half an hour for the photos to come through the network and print, which seems very strange for an office LaserJet to be considered normal output. I've also look into purchasing an auto duplex accessory and extra RAM but have sadly found out that neither are an option for this model. First off I have to say shame on you HP for not offering loyal customers the option for auto duplexing and RAM upgrading. Second the print speeds on this thing are absolutely atrocious! Third, your outsourcing of customer support or tech support overseas absolutely sucks. I called up tech support and was transferred immediately to the Philippines. The wrong department received my call and then transferred me to India. I spoke with somebody who had a terrible accent and the call quality was bad on top of that so half an hour went by and he really couldn't help me with my slow network printing issues. On top of that I asked him if although duplexing an extra RAM were accessories I could purchase for this model and he couldn't figure that out he didn't have an answer. So now that I finished ranting , can anybody help me with this or is this the way this thing was made to be, slow as can be?

  • P1102w e-print extremely slow

    Is it normal for simple documents to take up to 5 minutes for a single page?
    Here's some data points:
    The "Configuration Page" prints very quickly (from the printer's web page: Information -> Print Info Pages -> Print Configuration CHange)
    Printing the web-service Info sheet takes forever (from the printer's web page: HP Web Services -> Web Services Setup -> Print Info Sheet)
    It takes 10 to 15 seconds for the green light to start blinking indicating that it has received a print job, then another 3 minutes 15 seconds to actually print the page.
    Sending an email to my hpeprint address with a small PDF (52k, no graphics) attached is similar: 10 to 30 seconds to start processing, then another 3:40 to print.
    As a low-end test, I also sent a tiny text file with the words "Hello World!": 10 to 30 seconds to start, then 1 minute to print
    Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

    Hi georgeserik
    I understand the printer is printing slow over the wireless network but fast when connected by a usb cable.
    When the printer is connected to a wireless network, low signal quality or
    interference might be delaying print jobs.
    Make sure printer is connected directly to a wall outlet.
    Restart the router.
    I would setup a static ip for the printer. Follow Step six: Assign your HP product a static IP address from the document.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02817031&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
    Let me know if that makes a difference.
    How far is the printer from the router?
    A firewall might be preventing the HP product from accessing the computer and wireless
    network.
    A nearby device that emits radio signals (such as a microwave or cordless telephone) might interfere with the wireless connection.
    What is in between the printer and the router? (wall, fridge, ceiling)
    If you need more assistance just let me know.

  • 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 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.

    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)

  • HP Laserjet P1102w Printing

    Hello.
    I have a Mac Book Pro that I just bought over the summer, so it is the latest addition. I have been trying to print with my HP Laserjet P1102w through a USB cable and it has not been working. When I print a document, it says that the document is printing and that it finishes printing, but for some reason it doesn't actually print. 
    I have tried restarting both the laptop and the printer, as well as downloading the HP Laserjet software from online, but nothing seems to be working. Please help.

    Hi @Maddog42 , I can help you with getting the printer to work properly on the Mac by a USB connection.
    Try and print a hardware self test on the printer to find out if it is a hardware or software issue.
    Printing a Configuration Page.
    The drivers are installed by the Apple Updates. OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.

  • C4750 extremely slow over network

    Hello,
    I just recently purchased a Photosmart C4750 and set everything up.  When I try to print from my Macbook with the USB plugged in, everything is fine.  When I try to print over the network, it prints extremely slowly.  It took about 10 minutes to print about 10% of my image.  Finally the printing aborted on it's own and kicked out the page without completely printing the whole image.  Does anyone have any ideas why it is so slow?
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    I have seen this before.  Some people with this printer and problem also have PC's which print at normal speed, so I suspect the HP software on your Mac.  Let's get rid of it with the 'scrubber' option like this:
    Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
    Click on Continue
    Highlight your device on the left pane
    Hold the Ctrl, Opt and Cmd keys and click on Uninstall
    There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
    Click Continue and let it finish
    Now, run a Software Update.
    Next, remove and re-install the printer in System Preferences, Print & Fax.
    You do not need the software now since Snow Leopard has both print & scan drivers built-in. Scan from Preview or Image Capture apps. Scanning from the front panel of the printer does not yet work.

  • HP LaserJet P1102w - printer offline - Windows Vista ??

    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.

Now the only driver available for your product on Windows 8.1 is a hostbased plug and play basic generic driver. Therefore, there is limitations for what can be done for troubleshooting. As you stated, you have already attempted an uninstalled and reinstalled of the driver to no avail. I'm going to suggest some further steps and tools to resolve this issue for you.
    Step 1: Uninstall Your Printer:
    Disconnect your USB cable
    Click the following link: Fix problems that programs cannot be installed or uninstalled to access the Microsoft Uninstall Tool.
    Once the website opens, select Run Now on the right hand side
    Allow the Tool to run.
    When prompted choose Uninstall
    A list of programs should populate and you're looking for the Laserjet. It may appear as LJ P1000 series. Please select the Laserjet series and Uninstall it.
    If the Laserjet doesn't show in the list of programs than your Windows 8.1 computer does not see the Laserjet driver as properly installed.
    Step 2: Clear the Temp Files:
    Launch your Start screen by right clicking on the Windows icon on the bottom left of your screen or by select the Windows button on your keyboard located to the right of the Ctrl button.
    Once the Start screen launches, type the word Run
    Click on Run to launch it
    In the Run box type %temp% and select OK
    Once the Temp folder opens, hold down Ctrl + A at the same time on your keyboard and everything will highlight in the folder. Select 'Delete' on your keyboard. Don't worry, no files or folders on your actual computer will be removed during this process. If a file is still be used on your computer you will get a pop up to 'skip' the file
    Once the Temp folder is emptied of its files, close the window
    On your Desktop, right click on the Recycling Bin and left click on 'Empty Recycling Bin'
    Restart you computer
    Step 3: Reinstall the Laserjet P1006:
    Please keep your USB cable disconnected
    Click on the following link: HP LaserJet P1000-P1500 Hostbased Plug and Play Basic Driver
    The driver page for your product will now launch
    Select Download and allow the download to Run
    Once the download is complete an extraction will automatically run and once completed the installer will launch
    Run through the step-by-step on screen instructions.
    Please do not plug in your USB cable until prompted
    Ensure that your USB cable is plugged in from the rear of the printer directly to the computer. Avoid extenders or docking stations as they can cause printing and communication issues.
    Test printing!
    Please let me know if the steps I've provided resolve your issue. Good luck!

  • 7210 All-in-one with Windows 7 Draft print extremely slow

    I have an Officejet 7210 All-in-One printer and a computer with Windows 7 32bit installed.  I downloaded and installed the print driver for windows 7.  Printing was working fine including fast printing.  I changed the default color preference from "high quality" to "grayscale black only" and now my draft printing is extremely slow.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi
    The 7210 was always a good workhorse printer.
    It may be that your slow printing issue is related to installing the Windows 7 driver. When the Windows 7 print driver was installed it may be that the Windows 7 installer did not remove the older print driver correctly. This may cause conflict issues which could possibly cause the slow printing you are experiencing.
    I do have a link to a troubleshooting page for a printer not printing after the installation of the Windows 7 driver.  It involves downloading a print driver removal utility & then re-installing the Windows 7 driver.
