HP P1102w Wifi issue on a Mac

Running a Mac w/ Snow Leopard
Followed all installation procedures.  I have manually set-up my router name/password and the info is saved and accepted.  Problem is, when I take out the USB cord it doesnt talk.  USB hooked up, everything is fine, obviously.
Any help would be appreciated.
This question was solved.

I am not an expert in LaserJets, but since no one else is helping, I'll try.
The P1100 series is not supported in Snow Leopard according to this.
There is, however, support via a generic driver.
Let's start with a reset of the printing system:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (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 it. Look for the printer, select it, then choose "Generic PCL Laser Printer" and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.

    Hi BazzPatt,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I understand you are unable to setup the printer on the wireless network.
    I will be happy to help you.
    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.
    (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.
    Since the software is already installed then I would setup the wireless again by connecting the printer by USB to the computer.
    Then go to start, all programs, HP, Laserjet, wireless configuration wizard, follow the steps to setup the wireless. When finished remove the USB cable.
    Then try and print.
    If you are using a Mac let me know. Also the operating system. Mac OS X: How Do I Find Which Mac OS X Version Is on My Computer?
    Hope this helps.

  • [TroubleShooting]Continuity Wi-Fi issue. iPhone and mac not on the same wifi network

    Ive been following this and other forums since Yosemite came out few weeks back & i can see many other people are having this issue as well.
    The issue is that I'm not able to make/receive calls on my MBP using my iPhone via continuity.
    Ive tried all of the possible solutions made here and elsewhere on how to resolve this issue. [playing about with settings and iCloud]
    When I'm at home all of the handoff and continuity features work apart from making and receiving calls. Tells me my mac and iPhone are not on the same wifi network, even though they are.
    Now, the solution?
    Now this is where tourbleshooting comes in. Ive taken my mac and to my homegirls house & all of the features worked including phonecalls, without changing anything, except?? THE ISP and the router at her house.
    Personally i live in London, Uk. At home i have sky, and my girl has TalkTalk.
    So im 99.9% sure this has nothing to do with the OS X, but rather its the ISP or the router.
    Now I'm asking for help from anyone that understands the ISP's and routers, on what kind of issue there might be. Im no computer wiz kid, but I'm guessing it could be something that has to do with the NAT type. (Call of duty on ps3 haha) At my house its moderate and my homegirls - open? could that be the issue? if so are there any router settings i can play about to see if that solves the issue?
    Thanks.
    Please only post if you know what you're talking about because i don't want anyone giving me some next instructions for my router so i end up without internet what so ever haha And whoever is having the same problem, id appreciate if you'd post on this to keep the post alive

  • Mac mini wifi issues

    Had my Ipad mini for about a week. At first, the internet connection over my Airport/time capsule( which I bought a couple months ago, so it should be the newest generation)  appeared to be fine  although, I noticed  that the signal bar was always a single to double bar (if that's how it is called). Now, from time to time it even fails to connect.
    I am now in my living room in front of my mac mini set, which is itself connected to the internet over Airport/time capsule. The Airport is about 20 meters (abt 65 ft) away. The Wifi signal of my mac mini shows full capacity. My Ipad mini signal bar...it just says" iPad".  While  (when) connected I also have issues with iPad's ITune Wi-Fi sync. Connected by cable, checked the sync over wifi, removed the cable and Ipad disappeared from the Itune screen. I reset the Ipad, connected and did the whole procedure with Itunes and the iPad icon sticked to the itunes screen for a while but after about an hour disappeared again.
    Now the ipad won't even connect.
    When this thing works, it is a wonderful item. When it doesn't, it is a source of frustration. Can anyone help to solve this connection problem (resetting won't work) ?
    thank you.

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Addinf 2nd printer P1102w Wifi

     Have already one P1102w Wifi, working fine.
    Want to add 2nd printer.
    Connection with router (wpa2) Ok; printer accessible thru browser.
    How to make Windows XP recognized this 2nd printer ?

    Hello,
    Thanks for the post.  Good to hear that both installed fine and are recognized on the network.  What you will have to do is give unit #2 a unique name so you can tell the difference between the two.  I've included a couple of  links below that should assist with this issue.  The Network utilities can be used on the XP box only, no MAC utilities. Good Luck!

  • I reinstall the Yosemite due to the wifi issue, when finished, the iMovie was not installed, I try to download it from app store, but it's not free. How can I get iMovie back?

    I'm using a mid 2014 13" rmbp. I reinstall the Yosemite due to the wifi issue, when finished, the iMovie was not installed, I try to download it from app store, but it's not free. How can I get iMovie back?

    It's something to do with the main user account (not iTunes account) on my Mac because I logged in with another account and it downloaded fine, I installed it on the HDD and even though the date in App Store was 16th October 2014, it is the full installer of 10.10.2.
    To try to resolve this problem, I have copied the installer app elsewhere and deleted it but App Store still will not allow me to download it with my main user account yet just allowed me to update iTunes.
    I had a brainwave last night that it might have been related to me changing the default downloads folder to one not on my boot drive (to save disk space on my main boot drive) but having changed it back, tried again, rebooted and tried yet again, deleted my App Store preferences. nothing has worked.

  • For all those out there with Iphone5 WIFI issues,Please READ THIS

    I pre-ordered my iphone 5 (Black) got that last week. Quickly backed up my Iphone 4 and Restored my iphone 5.The first thing i checked to see is connecting to my WIFI network at home. And i kept getting a message "UNABLE TO CONNECT TO THE NETWORK". I had the iphone 4 aside and i can see iphone 4 is connected just fine. So are my laptop, Ipad and other devices.
    So what is different in Iphone5?
    After couple of days of head banging, and phone calls with apple support. I finally gave up and went to a apple store , they said, They have not heard any WIFI issues and my case was the first , However to keep me happy they said they will replace my device, But if have the same issue ,they will NOT be able to replace it again. And they even showed me the new iphoen connects to their "Non-secured" apple WIFI network.
    So i take the new phone home, and the first thing i try is connecting to WIFI.And i still get "Unable to connect to the wifi network ".And i still can see Iphone 4 working fine and connecting to the same network just fine. With the second iphone5 also not working, I realized it is not hardware, but something surely changed with WIFI in iphone 5. I have a NETGEAR router with its latest firmware installed(2.0.26). I then downgraded my firmware to 2.0.21, then gave a shot.
    BINGO..Iphone 5 works fine connects to wifi.and so is my iphone4 too.
    So for all those users out there, the fact is something changed in iphone 5 WIFI algorithm. And if anyone really disagrees with me on this, I am going to post a video to demonstrate on YOUTUBE. I believe it is completely UNFAIR for apple to now ask you Upgrade/change your router or its firmware. And it is not fair for router companies to Fix anything to make their firmware compatible with iphone5.
    So iphone 5 Users, Please lets us all push for a fix on this issue. WE WANT FIX.

    I can't tell you how frustrated/disappointed I was when this exact situation happened to me. I upgraded my wife's iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5 just to find out that it wouldn't connect to my home wifi but would connect everywhere else. Guess what...
    I found a fix!!
    On you iPhone go to Settings, General, About, scroll to "WiFi Address". Now stay there.
    Log-in to your modem thru your web browser via IP Address. (Keep in mind, I use a 2Wire modem, yours may be different) Clicked "Wireless" for wireless settings, scrolled down to "MAC Filtering" and clicked "Edit Allowed/Blocked Device List". At the bottom, there's a field to which you can manually enter a MAC address to you allow or block. If you're using a different modem with different menus/options, just browse around til you find a similar option of manually adding MAC addresses for access or blocking.
    MAC Address = Wifi Address. See where i'm going with this?
    Type the WiFi Address from you iPhone in the MAC address field, click "Add to List". If MAC filtering is enabled, it'll be added to the BLOCK list, simply click on the address, and click the double arrow pointing towards the ALLOW list so it'll transfer lists to where you want it, then click save.
    Now go back to your iPhone and attempt to re-connect to your wifi network as you normally would & voila!
    This worked for me, i hope it works for you as well.

  • Still: Macbook Air 2013 Wifi Issues On Wake-Up (And Partial Solution)

    I just got my new MBA 13" Mid 2013 last week (updated to Mavericks), and have been having issues with the wifi for a couple days now. Specifically, when I wake my MBA in the morning, it will have disconnected from my home wifi and will not reconnect again. It can see the wifi (and it did ask the WPA2 password after I deleted the network in preferences), but it will not connect due to a "Connection timeout".
    I didn't have these issues with my old MBP 13' Early 2011 (also running Mavericks). Also, this only started after I had fully set up my MBA and replaced my MBP, that is, connected it to the external display, hard drive, etc.
    Now, it turns out what I have to do is disconnect my external hard drive and reconnect to the network. What kind of architecture makes something like this even possible? And it's not just me, https://discussions.apple.com/message/23423481#23423481 had the same problem: needing to remove a USB device in order to be able to reconnect to his wifi.
    This reminds me that with my old MBP, I had an issue where copying large data volumes to external drives via USB would render the wifi connection unusable. So apparently there is something about Macbook architecture that links USB and wifi.
    But why does this only occur after a full night of the MBA sleeping? I guess it would have to drop the wifi for energy saving, which it doesn't do right away whenever it goes to sleep?
    In any way, this is extremely frustrating. What is the deal with USB and wifi in Macbooks? I really hope Apple can fix this via a software solution, but to be honest, I don't trust them to anymore. I guess for them this is "working as intended".
    Cheers
    Nate
    PS: Please, do not post any links to "troubleshooting steps I may find helpful". I do not, because they were not.

    It turns out the MBA doesn't even have to go to sleep for this to happen.
    Today i received a new HDD for my time machine backups, so some data transfer was necessary. I made a 600GB backup from my Mac and an external hdd I use for media files, then i started copying another 500 Gb from one external drive to another (USB to USB).
    Now in the middle of this transfer (which is rather slow to begin with at around 46 MB/s) my wifi connection just went out. My iPhone, iPad and Windows PC can still connect to my router, but the Mac tells me to "move closer" to it.
    It's interesting that my Mac can no longer see any other wifis besides my own, so I guess it's wifi range is somehow impeded by these USB transfers? How does that even work?
    At around 50% the data transfer had come to a complete halt, so I interrupted the process. Two seconds after I had ejected AND unplugged both external drives, the MBA could "see again". All visible wifis were listed again and I could connect without problem.
    Is there anyone with a similar experience? Is this a hardware defect or an architectural problem? Why have I had these USB/wifi-issues on two Macbook models spaced lmost three years apart?

  • Quality issues with new Mac Mini 09?

    I've been itching to hit the 'buy' button -- but in reading the many postings about the new Mac Mini, I'm seeing lots of issues with the bluetooth ... *wireless signal* ...
    Is there anyone who's not experiencing any problems?
    Sounds like it may be a hardware issue with connections... the last thing I want.
    My other choice is the 2008 Mac Pro which seems trouble free.
    What do you think?
    Thanks.

    There is a general issue/trend with the new Mini. There are plenty of reports in these forums and the news has begun to hit the wider press; I guess this is more important to a company with only 2-3% desktop share than posts to these forums. I went to the Genius Bar on Saturday and they have now lodged an official bug report with Apple. It looks like the Mini cannot pair with more than one HCI device. So if you pair with the mouse first the keyboard won't work and vice-versa. They don't think the Mini hardware is broken but that we will just have to wait for Apple to fix the firmware.
    Where I do agree is that some issues are OS-X 10.5 related and can therefore affect all Macs. The WiFi has issues where it randomly drops, it doesn't seem able to re-connect at all to channels above 13 and only manually to channels below 12. The system resume function is unreliable. All these started when we moved from 10.4 to 10.5 and so far they have not been addressed. One issue is that there does not appear to be a way for users to log bug reports, except when software crashes. However, the bluetooth issues on the Mac do appear real and are either firmware or hardware related.

  • Ios 6.1.2 wifi issues

    I am using iphone 4s for about 14 months now. i have never faced wifi issues before updating to ios 6.1.2. But now  i am not  staying connected to wifi for long time. I dont know whether i m alone in this world to face such an issue. Please help fix this issue to the earliest.
    It's very disappointing to know that apple is ignoring such issues from its customers & even rolling back to back new software versions without even checking it to the fullest. And on top of that the apple customer care people are saying its a hardware problem. I think they are ignoring the fact of software issues with ios 6.1.2. especially with WIFI.
    Please reply if anybody face such issues.and possible solution for it.

    I've been having the same wifi dropouts on ios 6.1.2. I never have had this issue before, and it is very frustrating. It makes me wish I had never upgraded. I am not having this issue with my other wifi devices (PCs, Macs, Android phones, Roku, Wii, Apple TV), so I know it is not a router issue. Is Apple working on a fix?
    One hard lesson that I learned is that I will never rush into any future ios updates again. I have tried all of the fixes that I could find online to no avail :-(
    Oh, excuse me. I was just prompted again to rejoin my dropped wifi connection.

  • Mountain Lion and Lion wifi issues

    Don't start on me about there being multiple threads on that subject already.  I was told by a very respected member of these forums to start my own thread on the issue.
    Dropping wifi started with Lion and for the last 10 months with ML.  I've been in touch with Apple, they called me after reading my old post and had me run test for them with no help.  I've done completely clean installs on newly reformatted hard drive and using a USB drive to install ML.  It won't connect to wifi to finish install half the time so other software isn't the issue.
    I've tried just about every fix posted.  A lot of them with Apple on the phone.  I've replaced my router knowing that wouldn't fix it because I take my Mac with me and it drops wifi on any router or network.
    I have 2 Macs and only one has ever had this issue.
    You don't have to believe I've tried everything, that I've had Apple call me or that I even have the issue.
    I've been asked to post the names of the engineers that have contacted me.  Why would you need to know that in order to believe me, especially if you admit to not knowing any. 
    All I want to know is there a fix?  Yes/No
    Remember it doesn't want to connect on a clean install.
    P.S.:
    For all those looking for reason's not to help me, my dog is yawning in the picture not growling.  Yes I've gotten mad on other threads but how many times can you be called a liar just because their fixes didn't work for me or I won't post engineers names. 

    Thanks for that list.
    Out of all you posted I tried everything with Apple on the phone. 
    I'm the only one who uses this Mac and I constantly check my settings incase something was changed on it's own because of some app.  But I'll lock it after retrying everything over again.
    I'll be glad to get it down to once every few days again. I haven't complaned about it in a long time because I could live with that.  That's where I was before it went back to dropping constantly. Lets face it once a day would be great.  I've had to reboot just trying to reply. 
    I've started taking some live on line courses so it's not just an announce to me.  It started again before I started classes.
    The 10.8.3 update made it worse.  But not enough to go back to 10.8.2. 
    My mail program is affected the worst.  When wifi drops and Mail is running I always have to force quit.  I know that's an affect no the cause.
    I do have another Genius Bar appointment for that and a couple of other issues.  The first time they denied there were any wifi issues until I gave them the names of the engineers that called me with their email addresses and phone numbers.  I've since lost their phone numbers but still have their email addresses.  I know one was a CA area code and the Main one was from TX.  I have emailed them this week but still no reply.
    Like I said once it went down to dropping every few days I didn't care any more.
    I'll keep you up to date.

  • Fix for Wifi issues in Mountain Lion

    I've tried all the solutions on the forums that I could find and none of these fixed my wifi issues.  This however did:
    - Change the SSID of your wireless network.
    I'm pretty sure I had a similar issue with Lion and sorted it by deleting all the preference files like others have said, but it didn't work for me this time.  I'm convinced that the common issue is that it's a corrupt or duplicate config. 
    Anyway, I thought I'd post this to help others.

    UPDATE
    A week or so ago my wifi suddenly stopped working again on both my Macbook and Mac Mini.  Note that my PC, iPad and iPhone continue to work. 
    I've changed my SSID twice now and this time I was determined to figure out an alternative solution.  Again I tried every solution I could find, this time what worked is chagning my router to only broadcast on the 'N' wireless band. 
    This has fixed it however it's not a great solution as my wireless printer is 'G' only.  Until Apple resolve this issue I'm happy to print with a network cable if it means my Macs work.

  • Maverick and wifi issues

    Is anyone aware of any particular or specific issues with Maverick and losing connection intermittently with access points / wifi?  See link
    http://howtoapple.com/mavericks-wifi-issues-fix/
    We are experiencing this to some degree with our MACs primarily on Maverick.

    Hello RT91,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with connecting to your home network using an Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi on your MacBook Pro.  I would be concerned about this too.  I found a couple of articles I recommend for this issue. 
    First, I recommend reviewing this article:
    Mac OS X: Troubleshooting a cable modem, DSL, or LAN Internet connection
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1317
    This second article has some additional steps specific to troubleshooting Wi-Fi connections.  I recommend the full article, but the section titled "Symptom: My Mac does not connect to the Internet" stands out to me for the issue you described:

  • MBA wifi issues

    Hi, my mba is the 2012 model, running OS X Mountain Lion10.8.4, I have this wifi issues since the previous version of Mountain Lion
    The thing is my macbook cannot access to the internet although it is shown to be connected to the wireless router, my other device like ipad and iphone still be able to surf the web just fine while connecting to the wifi, my flatmate who use a PC never got this issue. And when I go to Safari, the web page just simply not loading instead of popping up the notice "you are not connected to the internet" as i turn off my wifi
    This can go on for hours until I can access to the internet again, and this can happen many times a day.
    I tried rebooting my MBA, and turn off/on my wifi but it wont work, the only thing that usually worked is reboot my router.
    My router is Netgear  dg834g running firmware v.3.01.38, I'm not sure if this is the problem with my router or my mac
    Please help! 
    P.S: the wireless diagnostics didnt help much.
