HP Laserjet P1102w wireless connection/print issues. Unreliable connection

I have this printer in a business public wifi network with bonjour enabled. I installed this printer wirelessly, but any time I print to it, it takes minutes before the printer will actually receive and print the job.
I have found that power cycling the printer starts the print job faster, however I would like to be able to avoid having to do this every time. I cannot see this printer from other computers, or at the IP address it has registered, either. Only in the small window of printing the job does it actually appear on the wireless network, then it seems to disappear again. If I try pinging the printer I get a response saying it was not found. Unless I ping during a print job in which case it replies with all packets sent/received correctly.
I am using Windows 7 32bit, have installed the latest printer firmware, etc.
The blue WiFi light on the printer is usually off or flickering, but not really ever solid for more than a few seconds.

Sounds like the printer is having trouble stabilizing on the network.  Try following the steps in this document to stabalize the printer's wireless connection.  You can also try updating the firmware to improve the connectivity.  Let me know what happens.

  • Error Message "Please connect printer to HP Connected"

    When I print I keep getting a message "Please connect printer to HP connected". Each time I have to OK this before the document will print.
    I have printed the HP Network Configiration page and it shows the Internet and Wireless status's as "connected". I can also sign in to HP Connected and it will give me an instant ink update so the connection seems to be working.
    I've switched off both the laptop and printer and started again but am still getting the same message.
    Any ideas how I resolve this?

    Hello RuthQ,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having some connectivity issues.
    I have done some research and I have found a document that deals with A 'No Computer Found', 'Connection Required', or 'Scan Unsuccessful' Message Displays for HP ENVY 56...
    If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, : click here.
    Thanks for your time.

  • Hp Laserjet P1102W Wireless issue

    I have an HP Laserjet P1102W.  My issue is that I just upgraded my router and I have three computers all tied on. No problem with the network.  I tried to print wirelessly with the printer and all I get is error messages.  So I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the printer.  When it comes to the wireless install I connect the usb cable and it connects to the wireless network but when getting the ip address stage it keeps saying printer is connnected to the wireless network but printer cannot communicate with the computer.  I tried a straight usb conncection and no problems whatsoever.  Can someone tell me what could cause this.  Also the operating system is Windows XP.  Thanks for any help.

    Is the computer it was installed on connected to the wireless network?
    The computer being connected by Ethernet to the network is the most likely cause of the issue you are experiencing.  
    What brand and model is the router?

  • HP LaserJet P1102w will only print wirelessly if I turn the printer off and on again

    I have 2 Laserjet P1102w that work fine printing through USB.  However, I was hoping this printer could become the standard wireless printer for individual users in the office.  I have setup 2 different printers wirelessly with their own static, reserved IP addresses and they are connected to our wireless access point (WPA).  We have  all laptops that are connected to the network via the same access point as well as through hard wired ethernet.  In all cases, they are on the same subnet.
    Once I connect any laptop to one of these printers wirelessly through either the "smart install" client or the latest regular installation exe off of HP's site, it will print fine initially.  However, whenever I undock the laptop or even just wait a few hours, the connection will be lost and I cannot print.  The queue just says "Error - Printing" when I print sometihng.  No errors in the logs.  The connection will come back if I turn off the printer and turn it back on.  This is very annoying and will probably not be acceptable to the users.
    So I wanted to do more testing and connected both printers to my laptop wirelessly and made sure they could print successfully.  I opened 2 command windows and ran a ping -t on each IP address to see at what point the connection dies.  The ping will reply until I undock and go from hard wired / wireless to just wireless.. then it will say "Destination unreachable" and I can't even access the web interface. Even if I redock to hard wired / wireless, I still can't print unless I restart the printer.
    This happens on 2 different laptops with 2 different p1102w printers.  Any clue as to what's going on here and how I can fix it?
    Edit:
    If I have both wireless and nic enabled, once I undock the laptop, the ping -t changes from replying to the ip of the printer, to replying to the address of the wireless adapter with "Destination host unreachable".
    For example:
    IP of printer: 192.168.2.95
    IP of wireless adapter on laptop: 192.168.2.25
    ping 192.168.5.95
    Reply from 192.168.2.95
    Reply from 192.168.2.95
    *undock"
    Reply from 192.168.2.25 Destination Host Unreachable
    Reply from 192.168.2.25 Destination Host Unreachable
    This does not happen if I disabled the nic and run only off the wireless card.  So the workarounds are to either turn the printer off and back on if I undock every time, or disabled the nic.
    At this point, I just want to understand why it is like this?

    Mowaffaq, you may want to determine whether you are making those changes in the master printing preferences (versus the adjusting the session printing preferences from within your application).
    Click "Start", click "Printers and Faxes" (or "Devices and Printers"), right-click your printer, and select "Printing Preferences". On the "Paper/Quality" tab, you should be able to specify A4 as your default paper for all future print jobs.
    Hope that helps.

  • HP LaserJet P1102w Not Working with Mac when connected via USB

    I'm using an old HP LaserJet P1102w - I installed the drivers and the software, and when I connect to my computer, nothing happens. It recognizes the printer, and it says that it's using "Generic PCL Printer" as the driver. The Print Queue has a good time pretending it printed things, and nothing comes out.
    Someone tell me how to fix this POS before I throw it out a window. 

    Hi oprachck,
    I see by your post you are having some issues printing from the Mac. I can help you, but I will need some more information.
    The driver  "Generic PCL Printer", wouldn't be the correct driver using the Laserjet P1102w.
    If you are using 10.8 or 10.9, the drivers are installed by the Apple Updates.
    OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
    If you are using 10.7 or lower the drivers can be downloaded from this link.
    HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer Drivers.
    Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name.
    Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen should show the name.
    If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
    What operating system are you using? Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
    How is the printer connected? (USB/Wireless)
    Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.
    Have a nice day!

  • Hp laserjet p1102w won't print within cloud server

    Please help! I have an HP LaserJet P1102w desktop printer connected via USB. It has worked fine until about a week ago when I had to have my computer wiped and the operating system reinstalled. I have Windows 7 64 bit OS. I reinstalled the printer, driver, and updated the firmware. It prints test pages and configuration pages just fine, as well as anything directly from my PC. This is an office computer connected directly to a private network using a cloud based server. I cannot print anything from within the cloud to my printer! I have looked through all of the forums and help sites and our IT people cannot assist me as this particular printer is on a list of hardware that they do not work with. As I mentioned, before the reinstallation it printed fine from the network, but now it doesn't seem to make the connection and I don't know what else to try, please help!

    Hi , Thanks for posting in the HP Forums, and welcome!  +I not sure I understand exactly how you are trying to print, but as this printer is wireless, I think having it connected wirelessly to your network rather than USB to a single computer, might make all the difference. I'd recommend trying the steps in this document to configure your printer wirelessly:HP LaserJet Pro P1102w - Wireless Printer Setup You'll also want to make sure your web services is enabled on the printer. 1. Print a Network Configuration Page.2. Type the IP address that shows up on your configuration page into the address bar of your browser on your computer.3. Click the tab at the top that says Web Services.4. You will have either a Setup or Enable button, click this. Hope this helps!

  • Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition; Wireless Direct Printing Issues

    Good day everyone. The subject refers. I have been trying to connect my tablet to my hp printer (LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw) using wireless direct printing without success. What normally happens is when I try to detect the printer through wifi on the tablet, the error message I get from the tablet is "Network disabled because internet connection is slow". What can I do???

    Hello OgoOluwa,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    Regarding the troubles getting the Wireless Direct connection working with a Samsung Galaxy Note, does this error display only on the Wireless Direct network?
    I have not been able to reproduce the error, but I have found something that addresses the error on another support site that might be worth a try.
    Getting "Network disabled because internet connection is slow" during setup<--- Not a HP support site, nor is it related to a printer, but the error is the same and follows suite with a connection issue with a Samsung product.
    Let me know if this suggestion is helpful.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8000 Wireless: HP printer unable to connect to wireless router.

    Installing new printer,  getting error msg saying HP printer unable to connect to wireless router.   MAC address filtering may be enabled on your wireless router which can prevent HP printer from connecting to your wireless network during setup.
    SOLUTION says:  If MAC address filtering is enabled and you would like to keep it enabled, you must add the MAC addressof your printer to the list of permitted devices for your wireless router before continuing.
    My router is WD My Net N900 Router. MAC filtering is diabled. My security mode is WPA/WPA2 Personal. 
    I have run out of ideas to try and fix the issues, would appreciate some help.
    Thanks,

    Hi Jamshidk
    I am surprised you are getting that message and you checked the router settings and it is showing that the Mac Filtering is disabled.
    I would suggest connecting the printer to the router with a ethernet cable to get a valid IP address and then setup the wireless.
    Print a configuration report.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&​dlc=en&docname=c01554589&lc=en&product=3760410&tmp​...
    Type the IP address from the configuration page  in the address bar into internet explorer browser. This will open the embedded web server for the printer. Click on the Networking tab, on the left hand side select wireless. After this is setup and applied, disconnect the ethernet cable.
    Should be on the wireless network. Takes about 1 minute.
    Run the add printer wizard.
    Go to start, devices and printers and select add a printer. (Win 7)
    Test the printer.
    If you need more assistance just let me know.

  • MacBook and Wireless Epson Printer won't connect anymore?

    I have a MacBook Pro running Lion OSX. I also have an Epson Stylus NX430. I had it connected to my laptop wirelessly and it worked fine. I went home for spring break and when I came back, I tried printing something, and my computer said that my printer was not connected. I checked the wireless settings on the printer and they were all correct. I checked my wifi settings on my computer and they were also correct. I couldn't get it to work so I unistalled the printer from the computer and tried reinstalling it. When I went to add wireless printers, my computer still didn't recognize the printer. Now I have to use a USB cable to print. How to I get my computer to recognize my wireless printer again?

    Forgetting the Network didn't work.  It's dong the same thing.
    So if it's a router problem, what can we do?
    Two devices work, and two don't...I just don't understand why.
    Could it be that too many people have logged into our wireless and now it's out of IP's? Could we ask people who have previously logged into our internet to delete it completely? I don't know if that would free anything up?

  • My Wireless J6450 printer repeatedly loses connection to my network & MacBook Pro running OS10.7.2

    I previously had successfully set up my OfficeJet J6450 to operate on my wireless home network using an Apple Time Capsule.  Now that I've upgraded to Tiger (OS 10.7.2) the printer still recognizes the named network, but keeps losing connectivity and requiring the re-entry of WPA code to re-connect.    I can print one or two documents in the next couple of minutes and then connectivity is lost!  Again!  and Again!

    So does the printer actually loose connectivity and you have to re-connect at the printer front panel or does the Mac loose track of it?
    If the latter, let's reset the printing system:
    - Go to System Preferences > Print & Fax
    - Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
    WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
    - Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

  • HP LaserJet P1102w Wireless Printing - Frozen at Password

    I've got the firmware and I can get to the page that lets me choose my wireless network and input my password. However, when I put in the password, the entire page just freezes - I never get to a confirmation page, and if I reload, it hasn't updated my wireless password.
    Thoughts?

    Hi @stralins.
    I understand that after putting in your Encryption information the printer's Embedded Web Server is locking up. I can help you with this, but I will need some more information so I can provide you the proper steps.
    What operating system are you using?

    Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
    Print a configuration page to  see if the  printer has a IP address or SSID.
    If the wireless is still flashing on the printer, then 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 IP address are cleared.
    (hold down the x button and when the printer makes a noise let go)
    After the reset, disconnect the routers power cable, wait 10 seconds, then reconnect the power cable.
    Wait till it's ready.
    Try entering the Encryption information again. (if you are on a Mac, set Safari as the default browser)
