Laserjet P1102w & Mac Wireless Woes (Have tried everything​!)

Feels like I have tried everything, so I turn to here.
Installing (reinstalling, actually) a P1102w on a Macbook running Leopard. I had this printer working beautifully a year and a half ago, no problems whatever. Changed the network name, everything fell apart. I went away for a few months and have come back to a new ISP and router/modem and am now trying to set it up on the network.
Here is everything I have done so you have a sense of how this is failing me:
Installed drivers from the cd
Plugged in the printer and configured the HTML Config and the Wireless settings in the HTML Config exactly as every thread and guide on this website tells me to do. It finds my network, it takes the WPA key and says that everything is fine.
Tried accessing it via "Bonjour" on Safari--it doesn't show up.
Tried powercycling everything, doesn't work.
Tried resetting the HTML config settings to factory default on the printer numerous times, nothing happens.
Tried setting my own IP address for the printer within the IP Range of the router/modem and connecting to it that way--no luck. Whenever I add the printer connected that way it says the sheets have printed within the print queue but nothing happens to the printer.
Have managed to connect to the printer under the AirPort drop down, the ad-hoc, but that still doesn't do anything.
The printer when plugged in via USB works perfectly. When (as directed) I delete the USB printer from my Print/Fax list, unplug the USB Cable and attempt to re-add the wireless printer (As I did a year and a half ago) nothing shows up in that list.
It used to show up as the printer name + Bonjour under "Kind", it doesn't any longer. Bonjour is turned on in HTML Config.
I have looked at the youtube videos and searched these forums and others with zero luck.
I called Tech Support but unforunately they are now charing you to fix problems (I'll leave my complaints on that for another thread...ha). I am sure $25 is worth it, but when you're a student and $25 is about half of your weekly food budget, it's hard to justify tech support.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Also, this sounds totally stupid, but stay with me.
I just went into the Add Printer window with the USB unplugged and, as usual, there is nothing there.
I clicked to "FAX" and then back to "DEFAULT".
When I clicked back to "DEFAULT" for a milisecond the printer name and "BONJOUR" flickered and was gone. It happens each time that I switch back to "DEFAULT". I can see it for barely a moment and it is gone.
The wireless light on the printer is also flickering pretty constantly.
Perhaps this information will help...

  • Firefox won't load on Mac and I have tried everything.

    Updating firewall settings, deleting old profile and creating new, reset FF, did the IPv6 thing. HELP!!!

    Maybe use a proxy switch extension:
    *QuickProxy: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/quickproxy/
    Note that most proxy extensions use the Add-on Bar (status bar) that has been removed in Firefox 29, so you need another extension to re-add the Add-on Bar.

  • Is there anyway to have an 11 inch mac air connected to an external monitor with lid closed and still be able to see content. I have a wireless ketboard and mouse and have tried everything. Only works when plugged in.

    You are referring to a feature called Clamshell Mode, please read Clamshell Mode setup for instructions.
    BTW when posting when you use generalities such as "have tried everything" this tells us nothing. When posting please be specific and try to paint a complete picture. It just makes things easier for those trying to help you.

    I am using Photoshop CS5 on a new iMac with a wireless keyboard.  I used to be able to hit F11 to perform a custom sharpening action but now the F11 key is the volume control key and I have tried everything to disable or switch the volume key. I have also tried assigning other function keys to initiate the action. Is there a simple solution to this? What am I missing?

    Try unmounting the volume on your iMac using Disk Utility. Then mount it again. You may need to reboot the laptop or relaunch its Finder process (using the Force Quit window) after remounting the drive on your iMac. Remember that no process may be accessing any files on the drive you plan to unmount, or the unmount will fail. Unmounting and remounting an external drive on my iMac made it become visible on my MacBook Pro after it had disappeared.

  • I reinstalled my plug-ins into Photoshop CC (2014) on Mac OSX 10.9.4, and they are greyed out in the Filters menu. How do I get them to work? I have tried everything including repairing permissions.

    I reinstalled my plug-ins into Photoshop CC (2014) on Mac OSX 10.9.4, and they are greyed out in the Filters menu. How do I get them to work? I have tried everything including repairing permissions.

    My apologies. Your post jogged my little grey cells to the point that I did a few experiments. In essence, you are right. My plug-ins do not work with 8-bit greyscale images. I like to deliberately shoot B&W and have a Wratten #12 minus-blue filter on the lens--as I used to do with film cameras.
    The raw files ( Fujifilm's .RAF) were converted in Adobe CR by checking off "Convert to Grayscale" under the fourth tab. In the future, I will do the B&W conversion in Photoshop with either Nik or Topaz plug-ins.
    Thanks for your input!

  • A few days ago, my HP printer software updated automatically, everything seemed fine (Mac is running Maverick, my laptop is Snow Leopard).  Out of the blue yesterday, my printer stopped printing (neither Mac can connect), I have tried everything.

    A few days ago, my HP printer software updated automatically, everything seemed fine (Mac is running Maverick, my laptop is Snow Leopard).  Out of the blue yesterday, my printer stopped printing (neither Mac can connect), I have tried everything.  Both the suggestion from HP and Apple, it's making me crazy I've spent most of time trying to fix it.

    You tried exactly what ?
    I most of the time would start with the same Apple Printer Support page tech articles
    OS X Mountain Lion and OS X Lion systems will have the necessary printing software already installed, or will automatically download and install software when the printer is connected or configured. Do not install software that came with the printer as it may be out of date, and do not connect the printer to your Mac yet. Follow the instructions that came with the printer to unpack, install ink or toner, and insert paper.  Finally, use the instructions in this article to connect the printer to your Mac.
    Make sure the printer model is listed in Printer and scanner software, which is a comprehensive list of all printer models that have compatible software for OS X Mountain Lion and OS X Lion.

  • IPOD not being seen in ITunes...I have tried everything - please help!!

    Okay, so I have tried everything listed on Apple's website to get my IPOD to be recognized in ITUNES. When I plug my IPOD into the USB port, the "do not disconnect" screen pops up. Nothing happens in ITUNES. Windows Vista pops up and says "Do you want me to scan and fix the IPOD F: drive?" Either selection doesn't do anything. I have tried the 5 R's from apple. I have tried to download every update available etc. I have tried to even go in and update the driver. However Vista is telling me that I have the most up to date version of everything. When my IPOD isn't connected to the PC, everything seems normal - except for the fact that there is no music or anything on it. But all menus are available and accessbile. Can anyone suggest what to do here? I am at a loss. Please help!! Thanks.

    Yes, I'm having the same problem. If I connect my iPod to my laptop while iTunes is open, the 'Do not disconnect' sign appears, the battery does not charge, and my iPod doesn't appear either in iTunes or on my desktop. Since it doesn't appear in either of these places, I have to ignore the 'do not disconnect' sign and disconnect anyway. If I then reset my iPod, quite iTunes and reconnect iPod to laptop, everything's fine - iTunes opens, and recognizes the iPod. I guess this isn't the end of the world, since I can simply avoid ever connecting my iPod to my laptop while iTunes is open, but is this normal?

    Hey Xxx_Dank_xxX,
    Have you ever been able to sync your iPod shuffle to iTunes on your computer, or has something recently occurred?  Are you working with a Mac or a PC?   Without knowing what has been recommended to you, I'm going to start here with the basics troubleshooting for this issue.

    I have a jetpack, and when I try to "connect" to my ipad or phone, it keeps telling me I am not using the correct password.  I have tried everything.  I even changed the password, nothing is working.  Both are 4G, my ipad is an Air and my phone is a Iphone 5.  I can get connected to other wifi on these features but not with my jetpack.  Please help, I need to use this feature soon.  Thank you so much

    Chances are you mis-typed a character in the Wifi password and the devices saved that information.  Now whenever you try to connect the device refers to the wrong password and the Jetpack does not accept your connection.  Tell your devices to forget the wireless connection and start over.
    Once you enter the proper WiFi credentials the Jetpack will allow you to connect.
