Laserjet p1102w does not maintain wireless connection with macbook pro

Above product was set up and working. If it sits idle for awhile it does not print. I have to click on WiFi signal, select hpsetup, then after that is complete reselect my network and then it prints. Printed self test page - device is 'connected'. Running OS 10.7.3

Yes. I had troubles getting it to work originally and I had to talk to someone at HP who helped me with it. We ended up setting it up manually and it worked fine; but if I don't use it for awhile it will not print. Actually that is not entirely true. Once in awhile it will - about 10% - but most of the time it will not unless I do the above.

Losing wireless connection with MacBook Pro

My wireless connection is interrupted every five to ten minutes and I am not sure why. If I turn off airport and turn it on again it works for a few more minutes, but then goes back out again. I have power cycled the modem and router (Belkin) to no avail. My roommate doesn't have the problem, but he is using a PC, so I am not sure where the problem lies.

id try this, from finder select go>computer>mac hd>library>preferences>take the folder called system configuration and put it on the desktop then restart and try again.
hope that works for you!

Can you WIRELESSLY connect a macbook pro to a monitor to have extra work space on a separate screen from your macbook? (not mirror, extra monitor/workspace)

Can you WIRELESSLY connect a macbook pro to a monitor to have extra work space on a separate screen from your macbook? (not mirror, extra monitor/workspace)
It needs to be wireless.
I am not asking about mirroring, but as a second screen.
Apple tv communties said the Apple tv cannot do this, but maybe another type device can?

My thunderbolt port stopped working on my late 2011 MacBook Pro rendering my external monitor useless--or so I thought.
Mac Genius suggested using the Apple TV via AirPlay Display as a $100 solution. Took me all of 6 minutes to figure this out as there are no directions in the Apple TV box supporting this. But, it does work and I am now back in business.
PS. Don't set up with bluetooth--seems logical but you want to use AirPlay Display under Settings > Displays.
Also, I originally thought my external monitor stopped working because I upgraded the OS. This time, it was definitely a hardware issue and not software. It also fixed a known sound issue my monitor had with Macs. First time in my 15 years I've ever had a ViewSonic have issues with an Apple product, too. Thanfully, it is now fixed.
Hope this helps.

You could try updating your apple TV and then restarting it. Bit of a guess.

Does Adobe Photoshop Elements work with MacBook Pro with Retina display?

Does Adobe Photoshop Elements work with MacBook Pro with Retina display, please?
Have searched Adobe website for answer - most recent is 2013 answer, saying no.
Contradicted by a staff ember who only referred to Photoshop, not Elements.
Reason I need it is that iPhoto does not support very high resolution photos - which I have now scanned onto my MacBook and do not want to re-scan!! After 90 minutes at my local Genius bar (lovely folk, very conscientiously searching for an answer...), re-scanning was their final piece of advice.
Help, please...

Hello Smis,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand you are having issues with your HP Monitor on your MAC. I am providing you with an HP Support document: Updating a Monitor Driver, where it states under the sub-heading Using HP monitors on a Mac "HP monitors are not supported in a Mac environment. However, newer Macs use graphics with VESA modes and can display to most HP LCD monitors. To do this, connect the monitor to the Mac while the Mac is off, and then turn on the MAC. The monitor should operate at 60Hz. The INF and software for the HP monitor are for Microsoft Windows and cannot be run in a standard MAC OS environment."
This being said all I can advise is that you check to see that the monitor is set to operat at 60Hz and contact Apple for assistance if that does not get your monitor displaying correctly.
I hope I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

Slow Connection with MacBook Pro

Whenever I try to connect my MacBook Pro (Early 2011) to the Apple TV (3rd generation) for Aiplay Mirroring, it takes a long time to connect, and when it connects, the screen is almost frozen and the same happens when I try home sharing, everyting I play starts lagging, Airplaying music works for a bit then starts lagging every two seconds. I've tried AirPlay with my iPhone 4s and it works perfectly with music video and mirroring. I'm using the latest OS on all devices.

Sounds like it is not getting a great WiFi conneciton. Streaming video is not tolorant of anyting other than a perfect connection. You need a newer WiFi routner to support streaming video. If you have one that supports the N standard then I would try resetting your Wifi router.

HP laserjet p1102w does not work with Mac computer version 10.8

since i upgraded my Mac to 10.8 operating system, I am not able to use the ePrint function from my HP Laserjet P1102W printer. I was told that the current version of the firmware 20130213 does not support this function. Does anyone know when the new version of the firmware will be available to support this function? thanks much.

HP Officejet 6500A Plus will not maintain wireless connection reliably

For the HP EXPERTS on Expert Day, April 18, 2012:
B.L.A.T. (Bottom Line At Top): We have an HP Officejet 6500A Plus purchased about 5 months ago. We wanted to use it as a wireless-connected printer in another room besides our home office. It is useless to us because it will not maintain its wireless connection, even sitting just a few feet from the router in the same room. Except for numerous hours of troubleshooting, we have left it sitting powered up, but unused and idle, for almost the entire 5 months in our home office. DURING ALL THAT IDLE TIME, IT HAS LOGGED OVER 3,200 DISCONNECTS, at a consistent rate of 24 disconnects every 24 hours, even though it ALWAYS reports that the wireless signal quality is “EXCELLENT” (all this is according to the Wireless Network Test Reports we’ve printed throughout the last 5 months). So our question is, what is it that this printer is trying to do once an hour over a wireless connection that is causing these thousands of disconnects? And how can we stop it?
NOTE! Before you round up the usual suspects (namely our router and our PC firewalls) please note that we also bought an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus ON THE SAME DAY as the Officejet 6500A Plus. The 8600 was also installed with a wireless connection, and has worked without a single network issue for the entire 5 months.
NOW, FOR THE REST OF THE STORY…
WHO WE ARE: My wife and I have worked on HP equipment for 33 years, starting in 1979 as corporate customers of HP when we worked for Exxon; then we both worked for HP directly for 17 years; and we’ve now used dozens of pieces of HP equipment in our home during the last 12 years in retirement. We’re primarily software folks, so we’re not exactly experts in hardware and networking, but on the other hand, this ain’t our first rodeo either.
OUR CONFIGURATION:
PC’s – All running Windows 7 x64 with all important patches applied and Norton Internet Security 2012: HPE-270f and HP AIO 200-Quad, each with full 6500A and 8600A drivers installed on wireless connection. These 2 PC’s themselves can connect either wirelessly or via Ethernet to our home network. The 270f has a dual-band wireless board. Both bands work. We also have a new dv7t laptop with only the full 6500A driver installed via wireless connection. The laptop is now upstairs and it’s connected to our home network wirelessly without any issues. (This is where we had hoped to also put the 6500A, but it needs to work reliably via wireless connection.)
ROUTER: Netgear N600 WNDR3700 providing Ethernet and wireless networking. Router provides a very strong wireless signal throughout the house. No wireless problems with any other equipment including an iPod, two Kindle Fires besides all the HP equipment.
PRINTERS: Besides the two HP printers, the HPE-270f PC has a Canon MP960 installed on it. And if we can’t get the 6500A working right or replaced with something that does work right, we may be buying our second Canon printer. By the way, on the 6500A, ePrint and App’s are set to ON, but of course they’re not being used, just like everything else on this AIO.
OTHER: We also have a Sonos music system that connects to our network via Ethernet and has its own proprietary mesh network (on another frequency) for transmitting ripped music wirelessly to speaker units throughout our house. (If you aren’t familiar with this totally cool system, check out sonos.com). We’ve never seen any evidence of interference between these two wireless networks, or our wireless phone sets either.
HP TOOLS AVAILABLE ON ALL 3 PC’s: HPU
UPDATE 5.003.001.001 (reporting everything up-to-date); HPHDU 3.1.0.17; HPPDU 5.0.0.015 and HPNDU 4.3.0.002.
SYMPTOMS: The 6500A Plus installs quickly and easliy, and connects wirelessly just fine during installation. But sometime over the next hour (usually less), it disconnects and won’t print from PC applications. Sometimes the application puts up an “Unable to communicate with printer” screen, even though the PC usually thinks the printer is “ready”. Other times, the PC thinks the printer is offline (but printers don’t have “offline” buttons anymore!). Often, if you just leave everything alone, the 6500A will somehow reconnect and print out the spooled file 5-30 MINUTES later. So it does usually seem to be able to recover given some time, but that doesn’t always fit our schedule! Occasionally, turning the wireless radio on the printer off and back on will fix it right away. But usually, you have to power the printer completely off, and then back on. As far as we know, that always fixes it…..until the next disconnect a few minutes later!
PREVIOUSLY TRIED: After reading some of HP’s wireless network support websites, I manually assigned a fixed IP address to this printer. It didn’t seem to matter; according to the wireless network test report, it still logs disconnects at the rate of one per hour, and all the failure symptoms were the same.
We also dabbled a bit with setting this printer as “trusted” to the Firewall, but that didn’t seem to matter either.
Next, we connected the printer via Ethernet. The printer immediately started to work, even though it had just been in its “failed” state over the wireless connection. As far as we know, it never failed while connected via Ethernet. This seems to point to a purely wireless hardware/firmware problem on the printer itself.
Late last year, I tried two different chat sessions about this with the inter-continental AIO support teams, each one lasting several hours. Unfortunately, none of their optimistic solution scripts seemed to fit our problem. They both seemed determined to reconfigure the 6500A as a TCP/IP printer, which of course worked fine initially, just like everything else. At this point, they would understandably want to close the chat. But 20-30 minutes later, we could no longer print to it. During the second chat, they got into one of our PC’s remotely and effectively turned off the spooler (by selecting “Print Directly” or something like that). After that, all was well again (as usual) UNTIL the printer disconnected, at which time attempting to print from that PC would HANG the application (since the spooler was no longer buffering) and eventually hang the whole PC. One giant leap backwards. That’s when I gave up on the multi-hour chat sessions.
The three diagnostic utilities (HDU, PDU, NDU) have been tried over and over. When the printer is in its disconnected state, the DU’s usually don’t detect the 6500A at all, or if they do detect it, they are unable to fix anything. Frankly, it’s easier to just power the printer off (which takes about a minute) and power the printer back on (which takes more than a minute) and then wait for the spooler to kick in (usually about 30 seconds). BUT WE DON’T CONSIDER THAT A SOLUTION!!
B.L.A.B. (Bottom Line At Bottom): We have used up nearly the entire black ink cartridge and at least a ream of paper troubleshooting this brand new printer, to no avail. This printer is useless to us unless it can maintain a wireless connection reliably. Please help!
Thanks –
Bob and Jane

I bought the Officejet 6500A Plus about one month and have experienced the very same problem. I tried to remedy this problem following suggestions in a number of different posts (static IP, router, firewalls etc), all to no avail. Last week I called support. The support I received by the tech over several hours and different days for a week was very good. However none of his suggestions corrected the connection issue. After today's recommended fix failed, he advised HP is aware of this issue with the 6500 and other affected printers. He claimed HP was working on a firmware upgrade. He did not know when the update would be provided. The tech also claimed HP acknowledged this problem in a written announcement. He agreed to email the announcement to me. I haven't received it. This has been the only problem I've had with the 6500

HP LaserJet P1102w can't establish wireless connection

I am trying to establish a wireless connection between my Mac (OS X 10.7.5) and printer. I have followed the instructions on the hp website, up to the point where I open "Open Printer Utility" and click on "HTMLConfig". However, every time I click on "HTMLConfig", the window closes and takes me back to the printer set-up window.
Is there another way I can connect wirelessly? Are there settings somewhere else I need to change?
Thanks

Hi @jaudrey,
Sorry to hear you are having issues setting up the printer on the wireless network. I can help you out with that today.
Make sure Safari is set as the default browser. (sometimes the EWS won't open if it isn't set as the default)
Open Safari, across the top select the Safari menu, select Preferences, General, set as default.
Issues with the HTML config not opening, please 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, it should open up the Embedded Web Server for the printer to configure the wireless, then click the Networking tab, click wireless on the left and fill out your information. (make sure infrastructure is selected and alpha or numeric is chosen) Apply settings.
You should get a solid blue light on the printer in about 1 minute.
Then delete the USB driver and add the network printer:
Click on the Apple.
Click system preferences.
Click the print and scan 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 are having issues getting a IP address, check your network Encrytion type.
Go 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)
Let me know how you make out.
Have a nice day!

WRT54G does not allow wireless connections

I installed a WRT54G V8 for my neighbor. After much pain and fights with the wizards I got it to where it works with wired computers. I set up the wireless and named it, selected security, recorded the Key, even had the wizard record the computer setup program on a USB drive.
The two wireless computers I have tried can both see the network but clicking connect does not get me the enter key window. Actually nothing happens after showing connecting for about a minute. I tried the setup program and it said it could not set up the computer. I tried setting up the parameters manually and then connecting nothing happens.
But the routers DHCP table shows the names of the two wireless computers as being connected.
Some time when I try to connect (with manual entered data) the network page will show "Not Connected" over the top of the network name. But the button at the bottom of the page has switched from "Connect" to "Disconnect" and the machine is in the DHCP table.
Any suggestions?

I will try it on one of the machines this afternoon when I go over to try again to get it to work.
Why is this so hard!??!
Hi greyhair ,
Ridcully did provide some good information.
The wireless network tab .
for that ,

Right click on the wireless network connection listed
go to properties ,
here you will find three tabs - general >wireless networks>advanced
you need to click on Wireless network
and remove preffered networks from the network list (even yours )!
and click ok !
and again , right click on wireless network connection > go to View aivialable wireless networks ....try connecting to your network by first clicking (highlighting)
on the network name , and then click connect.
any problem , feel free to ask here.

Hub Manager does not show Wireless connection

My 'Hub Manager' shows my Ethernet connected PC; my hub phone and the wireless connected printer.
My daughter has a new laptop which has wireless connection to my Hub. According to her laptop it is connected to my Hub and she has access to the internet.
However, my Hub Manager does not show her as connected to the Hub. The result of this means that she cannot connect to the wireless printer.
We have disconnected and re connected to no avail.
Any thoughts??? All help appreciated.

WRVS4400N does not allow wireless connections

I've had the WRVS4400N for about six months. Three times in the past two months I have had to factory reset the device and reconfigure it because it would not allow any wireless connections. Perhaps unfortunately I applied the latest firmware update about a month before these problems began. Is there any work-around or setting change that I can make to avoid this problem? When wireless connections are impossible the device is still reachable via the ethernet connection.

If only the wireless is dorpping on the unit then, most probably a firmware concern. Try reflashing the firmware again if that helps. Also try to change some of the advance wireless settingso nthe router, set the RTS and fragmentation to thresholds to 2306 as well as teh beacon interval to 50.

Wireless Mighty Mouse won't connect with MacBook Pro in Bootcamp

I recently swapped my Bootcamp-partitioned hard drive from an older Core Duo MacBook to a late-2007 Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro. I had no problem using the wireless mouse with the MacBook. I'd click on the Windows desktop once it booted up and it worked flawlessly.
But on the newer MacBook Pro it won't stay connected. I have to pair it with the Windows Bluetooth control panel each time I log in.
I'm not sure if this is connected to the issue or not, but I'm not able to use the trackpad and buttons on the MacBook Pro keyboard either.
I've seached the discussions without any success. Advice anyone?
Thanks in advance.
Patrick

Well, by some stroke of dumb luck it finally connected. I slid the on/off switch open until the green light started to blink, when the mouse connected I opened it all the way and decided to work.
