Trying to use a P1102w both USB and wireless

I am running two desktop computers.  #1 is Windows XP, quite old, with no network connection anymore.  When I first got my P1102w, it was setup using this computer and the USB connection.  #2 computer is Windows 7 64-bit, with wireless capability.  Up to that point, my router was set up to be unsecured, no password.  With the new Windows 7 online, I decided to be careful, and so I secured the router with a password.  At that point, I lost the wireless capability for the P1102, seemingly because I couldn't figure out how to teach it to enter the password.  It still works fine for the USB/XP connection.  I just lost a Canon Pixma ip90v printer due to old age and apparent hardware failure.  I have a new Canon Pixma ip110, which has wireless capability.  I decided to get the router access straightened out before trying to hook up another wireless printer.
The fact that my USB connection comes from a computer with no networking might make it hard to setup the P1102 for wireless.  Should I move my USB to the Windows 7 machine to get the network and printer all setup, and them move the USB back to the XP so that I can print from there?  I also have a laptop that I would like to use via wireless with both the printers, if I can get it all setup the way I want.

Hi @Dave-P1102w ,
I see that you are having issues setting up the printer again over the network with encryption. I will certainly do my best 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.
Printing a Configuration Page.
Connect the USB cable from the printer to the Windows 7 computer.
Then run the Wireless configuration to setup the printer on the network again.
Go to Start, All Programs, HP, HP Laserjet P1102w, then select Wireless Configuration.
Run through the steps to configure the wireless.
Then disconnect the USB cable.
Test the printer on the wireless network.
For the Laptop, just run the Add Printer Wizard from Devices and Printers. You will need the CD or you can just connect the printer to the Laptop and the automatic Smart Install will load and install the printer.
If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

  • On my wireless printer can i use both usb and wireless at the same time

    i tried to print from coupons,com but it will not  i have used coupons.com before with my other printer and weorked fine i have coupons.com looking into it
    just wondering if anyone else out there have the same problem

    Hi,
    Same physical printer but when connecting to SAME computer using both USB and wireless it becomes two (logical) printers. Probably your default prnter is the wireless one, you have to select the right printer before print .

  • Can you print using both USB and Wireless on HP M175nw?

    I am having a problem with my new LaserJet 100 colorMFP M175nw. When I initially set it up with Setup wizard, I selected the "USB" option, since that was how my old printer was hooked up to the computer. That worked fine and the printer works perfectly with my desktop. Now I can't figure out how to also set up the printer to be used wirelessly. I specifically bought this printer because I wanted to be able to Airprint from an ipad. I've tried several of the fixes listed on this website, but I'm not able to get a list of wireless networks to appear on the printer's menu. I am using a Linksys wireless G router, which is hardwired to my desktop, but which I use to wirelessly access the internet with my laptop and ipad.
    What is the best way to be able to use the printer with my both my desktop (non-wireless), laptop, and ipad (both wireless)? Can I leave the printer hardwired to my desktop with a USB AND connect the other devices wirelessly? If so, what is the best way for me to connect the printer to my router - wirelessly or wired? What steps do I need to take to do that and get the printer connected?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi,
    Before Christmas 2011, I ran few tests and I've posted elsewhere on this forum. My printer is a different model but I believe same technology. My tests indicated we can connect printer using BOTH wireless and USB. Printer will show busy/not available during direct print (ie USB) but it knows job(s) is/are on the queue and print after that.
    One thing I could not test successfully: scan and print at the same time.
    Regards.

  • Can I use HP Pro 8600 with usb and wireless at the same time

    Can I use HP Pro 8600 with usb and wireless at the same time?  Sometimes I cannot get the wireless to work, it seems to be my laptop.  It would be nice if I could use the usb, but it doesn't work.  What should / can I do, if anything?

  • C6180 - USB and Wireless on the same computer

    I have a C6180 and have no problem installing it as a USB printer OR via a wireless connection. Is there a way to have both, USB and wireless, on the same computer at the same time using 2 different printer setups? Windows XP Pro SP3 and Mac OsX 10.5.4

    It can get confusing if you have USB and network connections from one computer to the same printer. On the other hand, you shouldn't have any issues to have one computer connected via USB and another connected wirelessly to the same printer.

  • After up grade to ios5.1, my 3GS  can not use personal hot spot (both USB and blue tooth) .

    After up grade to ios5.1, my 3GS  can not use personal hot spot (both USB and blue tooth) . Tried reboot, reset network, reset everything, reinstall my xp system on my N B, still does not work. My iPad  used to go to Internet  via iPhone 3GS personal hot spot, now my 3GS can not find my iPod through blue tooth!!!!

    Same problems, unfortunatley I updated to 5.0 1 hour before going on holiday for three weeks and no way to restore my phone to try to remove it.At the same time, drop outs, range problems and the most annoying was my music and apps were corrupted and would not function properly :-(

  • I tried updating iphone 6 to 8.1.3 But the phone went dead. I have tried using restore options - both update and erase, but the process stops when it tries to update Iphone firmware.

    Put your phone in DFU mode,
    Hold the Power Button (3 secs)
    Continue holding the power button and also hold the home button (15 secs)
    Release the power button while continuing to hold the home button (10 secs)
    Your device should prompt with the "Connect to iTunes Screen"
    Restore.

  • Multiple external drive problems, both USB and Esata

    Everything worked well in Tiger on my first gen MBP. Since i switched to Leopard and now Snow, and a new UNI MBP in december 08 I have so many external drive issues.
    USB drives just disappear and power off (from the system not electrical) for no reason, mostly when connected to USB hubs. I've tried various hubs including the powered ones. But as soon as i go over two USB devices in the provided ports my problems start.. It feels like not enough juice is getting through those ports on my MBP. I never have a problem if i just connect 2 devices into the MBP, but it's not enough (i have 5x1tb external drives).
    Also the same with the express34 slot.. Everything was fine under Tiger and my old MBP, But now i get the grey wall of death so many times when connecting 2x esata 1TB drives. The system is so unstable with multiple drives both USB and. I'm currently working as a pro Photographer on assignment in Asia and these stability are starting to become a big problem.
    God forbid i'm even considering a switch back to windows for reliability, (yes, i did use the words windows and reliability in the same sentence)
    Does anybody else experience problems with multiple drives through leopard/snow leopard via Apple notebooks? I would love to hear some users experiences and hopefully find a solution to my problem.. In every other way the system works like a charm.
    I will post in 2 forums because i'm not sure if software or hardware related.
    Thanks, any help is appreciated.

    @ Gregory
    All my drives are 3.5" HD's all with external power cables along with a mains powered USB hub. Sorry, i didn't state that clearly in the original post (i thought the hint of all drives being 1TB was a dead giveaway:)).. However, this still doesn't explain the same behaviour of the 2x1TB esata drives which actually work well if no external USB drives are connected. Sorry i'm not technical but does the expresscard slot share any bridge,bus or power connectivity with the USB slots??
    I'll try this SMC reset that S.U mentioned...
    Thanks for everyones help and ideas so far.

  • Problems previewing all my sites using Dreamweaver 8 both CF and html.

    I have restored my hard drive (from a previous Ghost image)
    and now encounter problems previewing all my sites using
    Dreamweaver 8 both CF and html.
    If I preview (using localhost:8500) I get the message "Unable
    to connect, Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at
    localhost:8500." IE has similar message.
    If I preview (using 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost:8500) I
    get the page but no images or CSS loads.
    An address such as:
    http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/gettingstarted/experience/index_content.cfm
    loads just fine - seems CF is working okay.
    All the sites used for testing locally have been used for
    some time (years) and work on my unrestored drive.
    My thoughts: after I restored my hard drive image I installed
    both Norton Antivirus 2007 and resintalled ZoneAlarm. I uninstalled
    both of the programs but the problem remains.
    Any help is much appreciated. I have spent the last two days
    trying to get this to work and as many of you can identify with...I
    am supposed to be working....!

    Hi,
    JSF 1.1 doesn't coexist nicely with HTML components.
    So if your goal is to build layouts in HTML then this
    will not produce the result you want
    Skins in 10.1.3 are slightly different than in 11
    (selectors may have changed their names). If you need
    to specify the class property to make skins work then
    this indicates that the skin selectors you use are
    not the correct ones.
    FrankHi Frank,
    thank you for your help, I'm replacing every html component with adf one, panelGroup, panelHorizontal, panelBorder, objectImage etc... etc... but I have a problem...
    I need to put an object component about Macromedia Flash and I cannot find any adf component to replace it. Any idea please?
    Thank you again.
    Ciao.

  • CAN PHOTOSMART 5510 WORK IN BOTH MODES-USB AND WIRELESS TO PRINT FROM I-PAD OR I-PHONE 4S.

    CAN PHOTOSMART 5510 WORK IN BOTH MODES-USB AND WIRELESS TO PRINT FROM I-PAD OR I-PHONE 4S.

    SEPPLES86,
    In order to print from your I-Pad or I-Phone you would need to be connected through wireless. Air Print works when your printer and device ( ipad or iphone) is connected to the same WI-FI network.
    Here is a link to a post with a lot of good information concerning Air Print.

  • Both ethernet and wireless time-out trying to connect

    I'm having a problem with getting my laptops' IP assigned by dhcp. Both over ethernet and wireless.
    I have no problem connecting to my WPA connection at home, but now I'm at my parents for a week or two, it refuses to connect to their WEP network.
    To connect to my WPA network I run this script from rc.local, which works fine on startup.
    ifconfig ra0 up
    iwconfig ra0 essid *********
    iwconfig ra0 ap **:**:**:**:**:**
    iwconfig ra0 rate auto
    iwconfig ra0 channel auto
    iwconfig ra0 mode Managed
    iwconfig ra0 txpower auto
    iwpriv ra0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK
    iwpriv ra0 set EncrypType=AES
    iwpriv ra0 set WPAPSK=***************************************
    iwpriv ra0 set TxRate=0
    dhcpcd ra0
    So for the WEP network, I have commented all that out and changed rc.conf like so:
    lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
    eth0="dhcp"
    ra0="dhcp"
    wlan_ra0="ra0 essid ***** key *******************"
    WLAN_INTERFACES=(ra0)
    INTERFACES=(lo eth0 ra0)
    gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
    ROUTES=(!gateway)
    But when I try to connect it just returns "Error, ra0: timed out".
    I have also tried modifying rc.local (appropriately i think), but that seems to time-out too.
    This wouldn't be so bad if I had the option to connect by ethernet, but that doesnt work either! It also times out, just like the wireless. I don't think it is the router, as all the other computers in the house work fine, both wired and wireless. But I don't think it's a driver issue either, as I can see all the AP's in kismet, and also I used the ethernet port when I first installed Arch a couple of months ago. I assume it's dodgy config files or clashing commands or something, but I've looked in the wiki and other forums etc, and I can't see what I'm doing wrong.
    Any help would be very appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Paul

    Make sure about the addresses for the LAN the router at your parents is using - they are not necessarily the same.
