Printing A7 Envelopes on HP LaserJet P1102w - won't recognize paper size

I am trying to print addresses to an A7 envelope on my P1102w laserjet.  I have changed all the paper sizes manually within Windows 2008 (thru a MAC) and in the print settings.  When I print - nothing is printed on the envelope, but if I insert an 8.5x11 sheet and print, the address prints on the bottom half of the 8.5x11.  This seems to tell me that the printer is not recognizing the paper size change (even after the paper size seems to be set how I want it in 'print preview').  Any thoughts on how to fix this so that I can print on a A7 envelope?  

Hi @dionysusthewino ,
I see that the printer is printing out blank pages and won't stop. I would be happy to help you.
Clear out the print queue on the computer.
Then power cycle the printer.
Restore the printer back to factory settings, if you are still having issues. If the printer is networked though, you will have to set it up again.
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.
If you need further assistance, please provide the results and the following information.

  • HP Laserjet P1102w won't stop printing

    I've just installed an HP Laserjet P1102w from the disk and it won't stop printing. I've disabled the bidirectional support and gotten rid of all other HP devices on my laptop but it still keeps going - just printing blank page after blank page. How can I stop this?

  • 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!

  • Just upgraded to mountain lion and my HP Laserjet p1102W won't connect

    Just upgraded to mountain lion and my HP Laserjet p1102W to print (worked fine via USB with Snow Leopard; I never had set it up wirelessly, though had wanted to do so.)  HP site said if printer worked with Snow Leopard nothing would need to be done; update of drivers would be automatic within Mountain Lion upgrade.  No such luck.  My Macbook Pro and HP Printer are not talking to each other.  HELP, please!
    I have a Macbook pro. 
    When I tried to print, I was told to get new drivers from HP.  HP site says what I wrote above, that I need do nothing if printer worked with Snow Leapord.  Also read that a new HP Laserjet would need to be connected only via Airprint.  So, I have deleted the printer from the print queue, thinking that might help, but I can't find how to install it via Airprint??  After deleting the printer and having no luck with connecting wirelessly, I tried plugging in USB from printer to MacBook pro, too, thinking maybe that would help, but there is no recognition at all.
    What am I missing???
    Thanks!

    Airprint is for IOS devices and thus has no relevance to this issue.
    Connect the printer to your Wireless Network and use Bonjour to detect nd connect it.
    That's wrong. AirPrint is not just for iOS devices. Since HP doesn't provide drivers for this printer, they say to use AirPrint:

  • Message 'computer unable to connect to printer' appears during installation of laserjet p1102w.

    During installation of wireless software for Laserjet P1102W on computer with XP Professional (pk2), the message ' printer was able to connect to wireless network.  However, this computer is unable to connect to the printer.'   I verified the computer and printer both connected to same named network with same WEP , open, key, etc. credentials.  I have a linksys connected to the computer and cable modem. When I connect using the USB connect wire to the computer directly, I can print.   Both software, wired and wireless, were loaded.  My HP Inkjet printer is wired to the linksys and works for multiple wireless network computers. Do I need to have a different printer? I thought i could still have a truly wireless printer!?!  I am a novice at this.  Thanks for any assistance you can give.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I called HP support.  The tech was very knowledgeable and helpful.  The HP Smart Install program (in printer and on CD) that came in the box  was an old version.  I needed to reset the printer back to factory default and  download the new firmware from HP.com internet site. 
    The older software had an incorrect router address (network). You can see the router (IP) address when you do the Self Test (holding down the 'on' button) under network Information.  The IPv4 address should be the same as your router.  Now my printer and computer are looking at the same network. 
    Works great!  Love this LaserJet.  Faster than my last HP LaserJet 4L.

  • HELP! Trying to print on an envelope (logo/return address), but when change page/paper size, prints blank page

    Before now, I have really only used Acrobat to convert and send uneditable documents (just to give you an idea that I am not used to trying to edit docs or print them out in paper sizes other than 8.5 x 11.  However, I have a document (created by a graphic designer) that was designed to be viewed as a sample, not really to be printed and now want to print it directly on an envelope.  I have created a custom paper size in the Print Setup menu and have also cropped the PDF page size to be similar (although not exact) to the envelope size.  When I try to print it, my printer prints out a blank page.
    Any thoughts?

    You need to select the paper size in the printer setup that corresponds to the letter size that you are using.  If you just crop to the approximately correct size you may find that the orientation of the page is wrong and various scaling options in the print dialog box can further confuse the issue.

  • Printer won't recognize custom size paper

    i have a Photosmart Premium C309g that was working fine up until recently. it will not recognize a custom sheet paper that is 3.75" x 9.00. i was able to print 50 wedding invitations for my daughter and when i had to print 25 more the printer does not recognize the paper, i keep getting an error that reads out of paper. if i put a full sheet in the printer it will print. i have also had this issue with trying to print response cards that are 4.00 x 3.75". I have reloaded the HP drivers for this printer, i have bought a new Windows office program and still nothing works. Any ideas would be helpful.

    I just got this printer Friday.  I have tried scanning two pages and The document feeder tray does not recognize that there is paper in the document feeder. Same  thing happens when I try copying. Thanks.

    Welcome to the HP Forums Laine2014,
    I see by your post that the ADF isn't pulling in the paper to copy or scan.
    I can help you with this issue.
    I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
    Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 30-60 seconds.
    Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
    This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.

  • Print controls changed. I can no longer can select paper size.

    This either happen by itself or something changed when I installed McDwiff.  I can still change the paper size but it's no longer on the basic control window.

  • HP LaserJet P1102w prints EXTREMELY slow over Wi-Fi

    I've been struggling with this problem for a long time, but today this totally freaked me out. I was ready to throw away this piece of ..printer! Problem is simple. When I'm trying to print wirelessly something with graphics (jpeg pictures or photos) from my iPhone, iPad iOS 8.4 or MacBook OS X 10.10 Yosemite, it takes forever! Word document, PDF, from Preview or other programs - same result! I just couldn't pring 9 page document today, after 20 minutes I gave up. What's happening. Let's say I'm using mac. Print task goes to printer queue, as usual. After that, this task shows in queue as "connecting to printer", green light starts blinking on printer, as usual. This is taking a minute or two, that's what unusual. After that, "starting printing page 1". It can take 1, 2, 3 minutes... forever! Next, either ONE page actually prints (for 5-7 minute mark at this point) and it takes same time to print page two and so on, or (likely) it will spit out unfinished page (only couple of inches printed and the rest of the page is blank) and show an error, orange light blinking. UGH!!! I gave up on iPhone/iPad long time ago, since they can't show print queue and therefore it's unpredictable result. You can wait 10 minutes for your document, then leave, and later on just find the document printed when you no longer need it (or half of the document). I do not have this problem when printing just text, emails, simple confirmation pages from safari and so on. Only when printing document with graphics or heavy pdf. I do not have this problem when connecting printer via USB (discovered this today). Now what really bugs me, it's the fact that I was actually able to print heavy PDF from Windows machine with no problem, wirelessly (I did have problem printing exact same document from my mac). WHAT IS GOING ON?! I've googled this problem and found that I'm not alone. I've updated all software and firmware, I've tried to reset everything - NO DICE! This is really very frustrating. I was thinking this is because of small memory of the printer, but why it works perfectly via USB then? Anyway, this is a cry from the heart. Please help. The printer is good, but unusabe in some situations.

    Hello ! Welcome to the HP Community.I hope you have a pleasant experience here! I'd like to help you with the slow printing that you are experiencing when printing images to your HP LaserJet P1102w wirelessly from your Apple devices. Thank you so much for the detailed description. Since the printer is able to print fine wirelessly from the windows machine, we know that the issue is not with the printer or the communication. The fact that none of the Apple devices are able to print images wirelessly without it being really slow, leads me to beleive it may be an Issue with the AirPrint driver or Bonjour protocol that your Apple devices use to communicate the information. Picture files are much larger, and a lot more data needs to be transmitted, so it is normal for them to take longer to print than a regular text document. However, if there is a marked difference in speed between the Windows computer and the Apple devices, then the issue is likely not just that the files are larger. I'd like to get you to make sure the printer is installed with the correct driver on your Mac. (Because there is no full feature HP software available for Mac 10.10 the operating system will often default to the AirPrint driver) Click the Apple icon on your Menu Bar.Select System Preferences.Select Printers and Scanners.Select your printer and then press the (-) button at the bottom of the list to remove it.Select the (+) and click Add Printers and Scanners. (NOTE: Do not select the printer from the list of Nearby printers as this will often automatically use the AirPrint driver)Select your printer (the one that shows Bonjour Multifunction under "Kind").At the bottom of the window under Use: does it say AirPrint? If so, click the drop down and you should see a specific driver for the printer. Click Add.Try printing an image again, and let me know the result.If this works to resolve the issue, then I would suggest downloading the HP ePrint app on your iPhone and iPad to print. It may be an incompatibilty issue between the AirPrint on your Apple devices and your router. I look forward to hearing back from you, and working towards a resolution for this issue.

  • Installing wireless HP LaserJet P1102W on a MACbook Pro 10.9

    This is a new printer and install. I cannot figure out how to get it to print wireless. Prints fine with USB cable. Do I need a different driver or ???

    Hi @SueFox56431 ,
    I can help you with setting up the printer over the wireless network with Maverick.
    I have provided the steps to also check the Encryption and Password for the network:
    Check your network Encryption 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)
    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.
    Delete the printer from Printers and Scanners. Connect the USB cable from the printer to the Mac and add the printer again. Make sure it shows just the printer name, you might have to click on the dropdown to select the printer from the list. (Laserjet P1102w) You might have to run the Apple Updates.
    Here is a Youtube video of the Laserjet P1102w wireless installation on Maverick.
    Laserjet P1102w.
    You may follow the steps instead of watching the video if you like.
    Then go to the Apple, System Preferences, Printers and Scanners.
    Highlight the Laserjet on the left side of the window.
    Then click on Open Print Queue, click on Settings, click on Utility, click on Open Printer Utility, then click on the HTML Config button.
    The Embedded Web Server for the printer will open.
    Click on the Networking tab, select Wireless on the left side.
    Fill out the information for your network. Make sure infrastructure is selected. Status: make sure you select Enabled.
    Apply the settings.
    Then go back to Apple, System Preferences, Printers and Scanners and click the + sign to add the Laserjet bonjour printer. (might take a couple of minutes to appear)
    Delete the USB printer from the list from the Printers and Scanners window.
    Disconnect the USB cable and try and print.
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a great day!

  • Mac won't recognize new color ink cartridge in printer

    I just changed out my color ink cartridge on my HP printer when it ran out, whilst my printer recognized the new cartridge right away and printed out test pages, the Mac still won't recognize it. The message I get is "Color Print Cartridge Out of Ink". I have tried clicking on everything including Calibrate, Test, Clean etc, they all give me the same message, I can't get past it. Help!

    Yes I have done that several times. I have also deleted the printer from printer setup utility and reloaded it. I have also connected the printer to an old laptop of mine and it printed there with no problems. However back on the Mac, it just won't let me print, the same message keeps coming up. Very frustrated...

  • How do I get OS X to ask printer for custom paper size

    I am printing postcards.  These are 1/4 of a letter sheet, or 5.5" wide x 4.25" tall.   
    I have a commercial grade HP Laserjet 4350, and I've configured that size in its custom menu for tray 1 (the envelope feeder tray). The printer is happy.
    I've also set a custom paper size in the MacOS, that I've called "Postcard Quarterpage" and I have that selected in the print dialog.  In fact I made it default.
    However, under Paper Handling, it says "Destination paper size: Suggested paper: US Letter" and this is greyed out.  If I check "Scale to fit paper size" which I Do Not Want, then I can pick a variety of sizes.  However my custom size is not in the list. 
    This happens on all applications, so it is definitely OS X Mountain Lion (latest patch).
    Anyway, the upshot is MacOS requests US LETTER size from the printer, so the printer goes "Take this postcard stock out and gimme US LETTER".    The printer can detect paper sizes.  If I try to give it postcards anyway, it blows an error and won't print, which is what it should do.
    How do I get OS X to tell the printer "Gimme 5.5x4.25" like I've instructed it? 

    Hi there Wolf!
    I have a couple of articles here that I believe will help you out with your question. First, here is an article with some information on custom paper sizes:
    OS X Mountain Lion: Manage custom paper sizes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10748
    Note that in that article, it states:
    Custom paper sizes aren’t available for some printers.
    The reason for that is because this is controlled by the driver for the individual printer. You will want to make sure you have the latest version of the printer driver installed on your computer. More information on this can be found in the following article:
    Printer and scanner software available for download
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669
    It might also be helpful to reset your printing system to see if that will resolve the issue. More information on this process can be found here:

    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • How can I select paper size while in print preview ?

    I have a printer with four different paper trays, and each one is loaded with different size of paper: A3, A4, Legal, envelopes. When I use IE 11, I can easy go to print preview, click on page setup (little gear icon), select paper size , margins, etc.. there, and when i hit OK, the page is adjusted to the settings I selected and its ready to print, and printer selects the proper size of the paper automatically
    In Firefox v32, I can almost do this same, but I'm stuck with printing only on A4 style paper, as I don't see where to select the paper I want to print on !
    I tried to select A3 and legal paper in the printer driver, but then firefox used the selected paper, but printout on the paper came out as set to A4 size, and rest of the page was empty ! Also I was not able to see the page preview of the selected paper either. How do I then print on other size papers than a4 ?
    I found only one workaround which does not suits my needs but works: First: Go to printer driver and select legal or A3 paper as default, and then open firefox. If I do that i can print on any paper I select, but thats a horrible workaround, because then I often forget to change the default paper size back inside the printer driver, and i print my documents on wrong paper, wasting paper, ink and time...
    Please let me know if there is a way to fix this printing feature somehow.
    Thanks.

    MichalB,
    Sorry, IMO there is no real "fix" for what you are experiencing. Printer prefs set or changed in the operating system won't affect Firefox printing ''[IMO, either ancient code in Firefox or a "cross-browser thing".]'' Firefox has its' own settings for prefs and it defaults to the "last used" for all printer preference setting. And there is no way to set a pref as "use now and return to my defaults after this print job is completed".
    As you have found out, there is no way of changing paper size from the Print Preview screen. Other prefs - Margins & Header/Footer can be changed via Page Setup and you can see changes in the Preview window, but not for paper size. As ''CoryMH'' mentioned, '''paper size''' is selected thru what called the "native print dialog" box using the '''Properties''' button which shows a window provided by your printer software for the Printer which is selected in the "native print dialog" window, and accessed after you hit the Print button in the Print Preview screen.
    Problem is that you can't '''"preview"''' what is going to be printed when you change paper size. If you go back to Print Preview without printing from the "native print dialog" the change for Paper Size isn't saved for viewing in Print Preview!
    IMO, it would be nice if Firefox recognized each "tray" as a separate printer, so that a user could set Margins & Header/Footer prefs AND paper size per tray. IOW, a feature sort of writing a completely new print module that would reflect "today's" environment with multiple tray printers; rather than to continue using the print module that was built by Netscape back in '94 - '95, which we are stuck with almost 20 years later.
    ''As I sit here shaking my head after composing this reply, wondering why the issues I had back in 2002 with printing from Firefox / Firebird / Phoenix haven't been corrected in the last 14 years.''
    ''I do like "old stuff", and have a vehicle sitting my driveway that rolled out of the showroom 30 years ago come October 1 - a 35th birthday present I purchased for myself. [85 Corolla GTS TwinCam coupe - aka Sprinter in GTA] But as far as computer software, I prefer it to be compatible with hardware made in this century.''

  • Deskjet 3050 won't recognize wireless network anymore.

    Product:  HP Deskjet 3050
    Operating system:  Windows 7-64 bit
    Printer quit printing wirelessly.  Using the control panel on the printer, I restored defaults.  Now it won't recognize any wireless networks.  I have unplugged computer, but that didn't help.  I don't want to unplug my router, because I will lost all my DVR items (we are on AT&T uverse).  Any tips?

    Run a Wireless Network Test from the Network menu of the front panel.  What does it say?
    If everything is OK (which I suspect), re-install the printer with the temporary use of a USB cable just as you did originally when you installed it.
