HP Laserjet P1102w problem

Hello,
after several attempts and after installing the newest firmware I finally have managed to install the Laserjet P1102w on my Mac OS: Lion).
However, I still face a major problem when printing wireless: the printer stops printing after a while.I have installed the printer via bonjour, assigned a unique SSID and a fixed IP adresse, deactivated auto-off, set the I/O timeout to max. The printer is accessible over the webbased interface and prints documents via ePrint mobile printing. Although the LED glows a constant blue, the printer quits printing.
Is there a major bug in the firmware or is the printer incompatible with OS 10.7.2?

Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). You can find the DHCP range of the router using its internal settings page or in its manual. Use the CD that came with your router or type the router's IP address (ends in .1) into a browser.
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway and first DNS. Leave the second one blank.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

HP Laserjet P1102w problem running HTML Config from Printer Utility

I have recently changed broadband providers and was trying to move my HP P1102w printer to the new router so while I was at it I thought I'd check for Software & Firmware updates - there were new ones so I updated both with the printer connected via USB to my Apple iMAC running 10.6.8 and now I can't run the HTML Config via the Printer Utility screens - instead of the normal window you would get I I just get a screen full of the code it's tryingto run e.g. below
I've tried going back to the original software provided with my original installed CD, but no luck - anyone experienced the same and any ideas how I can resolve this?
Thanks in advance,
Ian

Hi @cartian ,
I see that you need to setup the printer on a new network. I can help you with this.
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.
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 old SSID and IP address are cleared.
(hold down the x button and when the printer makes a noise let go)
Connect the USB cable from the printer to the Mac and install the printer software.
(if this is already done then skip this step)
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 wonderful day!

HP Laserjet P1102w - Right side margin cut off when printing in Internet Explorer 9! URGENT PROBLEM*

Hi,
I have just purchased a new printer (HP Laserjet P1102W), and when I print a web page in Internet Explorer 9, the footer (I set to the URL) does not print at all and the header will print though the right hand edge of my entire web page is cut off (including my top right header - Pages ? of ?).
I always use Print Preview first, and in the print preview it looks perfect. I always tick the box to enable shrink to fit too. Why will it look perfect in 'Print Preview' but yet when it prints, it cuts off the right hand side edge of the page and doesnt print the footer?? I have tried adjusting margins, etc... all to no avail.
I would like to check whether others have this same problem?
I spoke to HP (UK Printer Support) and they said it is Internet Explorer 9's problem. I have left a message on the Microsodt Web forum which you can see here. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie9-windows_vista/internet-exploer-9-not-printing-header...
I am hoping they may release a patch / hotfix - but this has to be affecting many other users of this printer too? The more of us that complain, the quicker it will get sorted.
Any others with the same problem?
Thanks.

I spoke with Microsoft technical support via phone today. Between us - we seemed to have found the problem.
It's to do with the DPI (the font size) settings in Windows!?
I have mine set to 188% on my Windows Vista mahcine and 200% on my Windows 7 laptop.
From my Printing tests in Internet Explorer 9...
at 100 % DPI – it prints perfectly
at 150% DPI – it prints perfectly
at 200% DPI – the right side of the margin is cut off, and no footer is printed – despite it looking perfect in the Print Preview.
I am using http://uk.msn.com/ as my test print outs.
This indicates when the DPI is changed above 150%, IE9 doesn't print properly – though other browsers like Safari or Firefox do print correctly. This surely has to indicate a bug in either the Windows operating system or Internet Explorer 9?
Microsoft are going to run their own tests and phone me back tomorrow...hopefully with a solution!
Hope this helps any others with the same problem at the moment!
Would be great if HP could provide a soloution asap - surely a tweak to the Printer dirvers will fix the problem?

HP LaserJet P1102w installation problems

Hello everyone!
Can someone please help me with this problem. I bought this HP laserjet P1102W about 4 months ago. It was working fine untill my service provider changed the settings for my Lynksis modem+router. So I reset the new settings for my modem and had it configured (wireless). The modem worked fine but it couldn't connect with my laser printer so I uninstalled it and had it reinstalled.
Here is the problem:
During the installation using smart install imbedded in the hardware(no CD), this password box keeps popping up. Maybe I had entered a password for my printer before. Problem is I have completely forgotten about it. This password thing is keeping me from installing my printer properly. If I install it using USB configuration it only works by USB not wireless. But I bought it for its wireless feature in the first place thats why I wanted it to work as a wireless printer.
Can someone please help me. How can I retrieve this password? Or better, if there is a way so that a password is not required?
Thank you for your help.

LaserJet P1102w setup 2 printers on different routers problem

We have two offices, we have a HP laserjet P1102w in each office on wireless. I have been able to setup a laptop to either of the printers but if I try to setup the second printer (on a different router) it totally screws up the setup of the first printer and I end up with nothing. I suspect there is something very simple I am missing.
I am running Windows 7 and Vista on the computers.

There seems to be lots of models of GCC Elite. Which one is yours?
Usually the dongle on the EFI RIPs are to enable extra features, such as the Graphic Arts (GA) package, so you should still be able to change its setup. For some of the Canon/EFI RIPs in our office, there are buttons on the front panel of the RIP that are for making configuration changes. If your RIP has the same, then you should be able to use these buttons to print a config page. If there is three buttons under the LCD panel (an up, down and circle in between) then press the middle button. This should present a menu with one of the options being Print Pages. Now the buttons to the right of the LCD are to make selections. Select the Print Pages and then select Config from the next screen. This should print a page that shows the ip address of the RIP.
If the RIP doesn't have any buttons/lcd, then you may be able to make changes via a web browser or Command Workstation (if your RIP supports it). Using the web browser, simply type the ip address of the RIP into the browsers URL field and wait for the setup page to load. Note that if both printers have the same ip address then you will to unplug the GCC to use the browser to the EFI. With the web page loaded you should see a configuration page that lets you make/save changes.
If you can't change the EFI RIP then once I know the exact model of GCC Elite, I can check its support manual.

How to Print Labels? - HP LaserJet P1102W

I'm close to pulling my hair out here. I recently purchased a LaserJet P1102W as a replacement for my LaserJet 1022n that finally gave out. I am trying to print Avery file labels (template 5066). I am using the old file document, I simply need to reprint. So, I open the file and select 'Print' and then hit 'OK'. On my old model, the Attention light would blink red until I hit what I guess is the ok/accept button (I think it was the button with the triangle and the ! inside, but I can't be sure now) - it would then send the print job for the labels though, allowing me to put the label sheet in first and then it would feed that through from the main tray.
With this new model, I follow exactly the same steps but I can't get the document to print. Hitting the Power button on this unit only turns it off. Hitting the Cancel button deletes the document from the queue and it won't print.
I just spent nearly an hour and a half with HP Live Tech Support and they can't seem to give me a straight answer. They're telling me they need remote access to fix the issue or they need me to delete and reinstall my drivers. One thing the techs are sure of is that it is not a hardware issue, simply user error. Even though I repeated the steps that I took and they say that everything is correct. I was also told to "please the paper", whatever that means.
I was hoping that I could find a fellow user of the P1102w here, or at least someone knowledgable who isn't reading from a book. It just feels like there's a step missing somewhere once I bring up the Print menu. Do I need to manually change a setting or direct it to pull from a certain tray? I'm just trying to do everything possible before I actually uninstall/reinstall the drivers. Also, all the software is current, no updates needed.
Someone please help! I'm losing it...or I've already lost it maybe. lol
Thanks in advance for any sanity that you might be able to bring.

I realize this is an old thread, but it came up as one of the first Google search results and there was no solution.
I was having this problem too. The problem ended up being that I had turned off the status messages in the printer setup. When I turned the status messages back on, a window pops up when I try to print a label. I click "Continue" and it pulls the label from the manual feed.

HP LaserJet P1102w -- Paper Creasing

I just purchased a new HP Laserjet P1102w printer this afternoon. After setup it prints fast and nice clear pages, but I noticed something strange. It makes creases in the paper. It's not really noticable, but if I hold a printout up and tip it in the light, it is making a small indentation in the paper that goes from 3/4ths of the way in from the right side and 3/4ths of the way in from the left side and from the top to the bottom of the page.
My guess was that due to the speed of the printing, my multi-purpose paper wasn't sufficient. I'm using basic OfficeMax/Office Depot 20lb 96bright multi-purpose paper. It's rated for Laserjet & Inkjet according to the package. I tried both the Office Max & Office Depot, same thing.
I checked the paper path and didn't see anything out of the ordinary. I did notice at the top of the printer where the paper comes out after printing, there was a visible gob of what looked like roller lubricant/grease. I'm not sure if that was an issue but I took a cotton swap and wiped it away.
Is this a common problem with this model or did I choose a bad type of paper? I was using a Brother laser printer which handled multi-purpose paper just fine, but did not print as fast as this one.

I have the same problem on a brand new P1102w. There are 2 creases about 3 inches apart running the length of the paper vertically. I have done an internet search and have come up with no real solutions. Several places mentioned moisture in the paper being a common cause of this sort of creasing and recommend trying paper fresh out of an unopened package. I haven't tried that yet, but will do so today and post the results. Ryanflucas and Danoid, if you find a solution, please post it back here! I am wondering if this creasing might go away after printing 20 or 30 pages as my impression is that paper rollers (the creases line up exactly with rollers where the paper exits the printer) are causing the problem and use might 'break them in and loosen them up". That's probably wishful thinking though.
*Update* Tried using the fresh paper, as discussed above. Creases still occurred but were much less pronounced. Next I will try printing a 30 or 40 page document and see what effect, if any, a little heavier use has.
*Update* Feb. 17. I have printed 30 to 40 pages from the printer and now see no creases in the paper. It does seem that there is something to the 'breaking it in" notion. Who knows. The problem has gone away with use, that's all I can say.

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.

HP Laserjet p1102w - after firmware upgrade / Smart Install update - down to 1MB free memory

Hello,
I have a Laserjet p1102w running off a laptop with Windows 7 64-bit. Just bought the printer this month.
After updating the firmware to 20120814 version and updating the SmartInstall update utility for the 20120814 version as well, I am now down to 1 MB free memory (out of 8MB originally). [Another LJ p1102w updated prior to these updates has 3MB free memory.]
Because I have 1MB free memory, the printer is almost a brick. It can print simple text based pages - however, printing any page with a graphic or a PDF file will cause the printer to take forever to receive data - essentially preventing printing a page on my new printer (while printing the same page instantaneously on my older nonupdated p1102w).
Is there any way to fix this problem, given there is no memory upgrade option? Otherwise, this printer is a brick.
Thank you in advance for a reply - especially from HP.

Hi cyskim,
Did you tried turning the printer off and on after updating the firmware? This should clear its memory, including any memory may affected during the firmware upgrade proccess .

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.

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 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.

HP Laserjet p1102w Troubleshooting

Hi all. I am using a Mac OS X 10.5.8 and having an HP Laserjet p1102w printer, which I print wirelessly through a Cisco Linskys E2000 router. Up until recently, I have not had any problems with printing. Now, however, my documents will not print and the printer queue always says they are at 20%. I have checked the network connectivity and it says that I am able to connect to the internet, but the server for my printer has failed. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thank you.

The error message would indicate that the printer's built-in print server is the item that has failed. There would not be any need to troubleshoot your computer or network at this point. I would suggest that you visit the HP support site to see how to go about troubleshooting this printer.
