P1102W doesn't broadcast SSID & Driver cannot be installed on Mac OS 10.7.5

Question

Hi,
I bought a new wifi extender and managed to mess about the settings.  I have no idea how this happened.  
But the current situation is that P1102W doesn't talk to me because it doesn't broadcast its SSID so I cannot login through its Embedded Web Server.  I cannot connect it through USB to my MacBook Pro either.  I suspect it is because I somehow messed up my driver setting.  But I cannot re-install my driver somehow.
the machine is on Mac OS 10.7.5.  The printer P1102w is already in its printer list (on wifi but is not connected).  I tried to reinstall driver in order to connect through USB.  But the installation always failed at the last step (mac popped up message suggesting me to talk to software supplier).  I have done "Repair Disk Permissions" a few times. Still the driver doesn't install.  The driver I talk about is "LJP1100_P1560_P1600_Full_Solution.dmg"
My HP P1102w has been reset to factory default by powering up while pressing the cancel (X) and wifi buttons a few times.  Although its blue wifi light is blinking, it doesn't broadcast its SSID, so I cannot connect to its web based set up page.
I hope someone out there can help me.  If I failed to provide any necessary information for your diagnosis, please let me know.  Thank you for your help.

Hi @SillySilly, 
I see by your post that you have lost the wireless connection with the printer, since setting up a extender. I can help you with this.
You will have to network the printer to the main network. Make sure there isn't any spaces or special characters in the network name.
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.
If you can still print by a USB connection, skip to running the HTML Config section.
I would run the uninstaller, there might be bits and pieces of the old software still installed.
Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Reset the Printing System:
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
Click the Apple icon ( ), and then click System Preferences.
Click Printers & Scanners.
Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
Click OK to confirm the reset.
Type the correct Name and Password.
Click OK to reset the printing system.
Connect the printer directly to the Mac.
Run the downloaded drivers again. HP LaserJet Full Feature Software and Driver.
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.
Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.
