Wired LAN for Laserjet P1100 printer?

I have a Laserjet pro P1100 printer that was connected to my iMac desktop via USB.We've moved and our new house has wired LAN outlets which I'd prefer to use rather than USB or wireless connections. Is there a way to adapt a standard RJ45 ethernet cable to the USB port on my printer?

Hey @drmac1 ,
Thanks a lot for the question, now lets get you an answer!
Unfortunately that is not possible.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Have a great day!

  • Wired LAN for Canon MP620

    I have had mixed success once I upgraded my MacBook Pro 17CoreDuo to Snow Leopard with my Canon MP620 in my office. In Leopard, it was set up as a wired LAN, with a cable running from my Airport Extreme Base Station to my printer. Scanning was nice and speedy.
    All I can seem to do now is get it set up wirelessly, and the scanning is way too slow.
    What is the proper way to set up a wired LAN with Airport Extreme?
    I have gone so far as to get the printer on the same IP settings as my Mac.
    Mac IP is 192.168.1.55 Printer IP is 192.168.1.70
    Mac Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 Printer Subnet Mask is the same
    Mac Router setting is 192.168.1.1 Printer Router Setting is the same
    On the Printer, it is set to Wired LAN, and the wired LAN settings are all reading correctly.
    I can print as long as I keep the USB connected to the printer. As soon as I try to remove it, it shows up as "offline".

    When you have the printer connected via wired or wireless, you will have to add another print queue. The USB queue is purely for connecting from the Mac to the printer via USB, so this is why it will show offline when the USB is disconnected.
    To add the network printer on 10.6, you don't use More Printer > Canon IJ Printer menu like you did with 10.5. Instead, you need to select the Default browser view and wait. The printer will eventually appear in the Default view with the Kind column showing 'canonijnetwork'. Note that you will probably see the scanner appear very quickly, because it uses a different protocol to advertise itself on the network.
    Note that the printer will only advertise itself on the network if the v10.26 driver is installed. The version 10.19 driver included with 10.6 does not work across the network. If you open the Options & Supplies button for the USB printer queue, it will show which version you are using under the General tab.
    Note also, if you have the Parallels VM application installed, this can stop the network printer from appearing in the Default browser view.

  • Can't install drivers from HP for laserjet 1022 printer on my new computer with Windows 7.

    I have a laserjet 1022.  I can't install the HP drivers provided on the HP website onto my new computer.  When it asks me to connect the printer, the printer is recognized, however the message continues to say waiting for the connection.  I have tried all of the suggestions listed on the forum by both HP and other individuals, including down loading the drivers from other countries.  Other attempts when downloading the drivers ends up with a message saying that the download could not be completed.  I have tried other USB cables and that doesn't work.  I love HP products but I really need help on this one.  HELP!

    When you connect the printer and if the message continues to say "Waiting for Connection", please try the below step..
    Go to Device Manager, ( to do so , Right click on Computer icon, Select Manage, from the left pance m click on Device Manager , which would display the Device Manager on right pane.)
    There should be Yellow bang entries ( Yellow ! mark ) with printer name on it.

  • Colour management profile for LaserJet 2200 printer?

    I am reasonably familiar with the basics of colour management. My monitor is calibrated, I use Epson's standard colour profiles for my Epson 3800 inkjet printer and what I see on the screen is more or less what I get out of this printer. However, I am having less success in controlling the printing on my HP LaserJet 2200 of monochrome images contained within an InDesign CS4 document.
    The obvious answer would appear to be to use a purpose-designed printer profile for the HP LaserJet 2200 but, so far, I have failed to find a source for such a profile. Can anyone help?
    David

    When you save a grayscale (if you save in grayscale mode and aren't just saving a completely desaturated or otherwise made to look like grayscale RGB or CMYK mode image) in Photoshop you should be saving with a grayscale profile like Dot Gain 30% of Gamma 2.2 or something else from the list. These profiles are designed to match printing conditions of various types or different types of monitors (and I'm not going to go into a lot of detail here).
    Photoshop understands grayscale profiles, InDesign does not, so it looks at the numbers and says these are all black, so they belong in the black channel, and I'll put them in that channel in the current document CMYK working space. Different CMYK profiles behave a little differently when you print, but to be perfectly honest, I've never really investigated the consequences of choosing one over another for printing grayscale, because all the information is already black and I don't think assigning a new profile would change anything (though CONVERTING to a new profile might well take your grayscale and make it a 4-color image).
    Dot gain is the amount of "spread" that happens to each halftone spot wne the ink is absorbed by the paper, and the number is usually defined as the amount of gain for a 50% dot. Dot gain causes images to print darker. For a classic illustration, think of using an eyedropper to drop a single drop of ink onto a sheet of tissue paper, and you'll get the idea. Coated papers usually have better ink "holdout" (they are less absorbent) than uncoated papers, and thus lower dot gain.
    Laser printers don't use liquid ink, but they do have gain. The toner is melted and gets absorbed into the surface of the paper as it goes through the fuser which is what keeps it from falling off as a pile of dust.
    So how do the prints look now, and what are the settings you are using in the print dialog?

  • One month for LaserJet 1006 printer driver

  • Laserjet P1100

    hi, I have just bought a laserjet P1100 printer, ive sorted the printing by usb, but the default setting for wireless is different from my home network, so how can i change the ip address for the printer, I did try changing it via the printer settings, and on there it says its changed, but when I print the test page to get the ip address so i can put it into the web browser, its stiull says the origonal ip address. Any ideas please.

    Hi @sweep ,
    I see that you are having issues printing PDF documents from a third party website. I would be happy to help you.
    Which Laserjet model do you have? How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    Laserjet P1102 or the Laserjet P1102w.
    Try and print a PDF document from the manual for the printer, to see if you have the same results.
    This way we will know if it is the website or if the printer won't print any PDF documents.
    Let me know the results. LASERJET PROFESSIONAL P1100 Printer series.
    Try another web browser to see if the PDF will print.
    Try printing the PDF as an image:
    Open the original PDF file, if necessary.
    Click File, and then click Print, or click the Print icon. The Print window opens.
    Click Advanced. The Advanced Print Setup window opens.

  • HP laserjet P1100 wireless connection for mac

    Hoping for a quick response.... I have a Mac with 10.8.5 and I have purchased an HP Laserjet P1100 wireless printer. I have tried installing the drivers to print wireless...ly with no success. I have taken time out to type this message because I have not been able to find someone who has had  the same issue in the internet. I need a walk thru because there are many steps where the issue may be occuring. Your written installation documentation conflicts with your User Guide PDF file. Cord or no cord during driver installation for wireless connection???  Was lost after #5 page 18 on the User Guide PDF file.
    I figured it out. Your directions are misleading and not up to date. Cord is not an issue but needed for entire install process. At one point I'm in my system prefs then I'm on my web browser where I  found Bonjour which added the network to my printer choices so now I can print wirelessly... hopefully I don't have to do that again because I'm not sure of the steps I took. Fairly complex set up.

    Hey @matt4,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    I see that you have a Mac OS X 10.8.5 and a new HP Laserjet P1100 series printer and are looking for quick and easy wireless configuration steps. I just have one question for you:
    Do you have a P1100 or a P1102w?
    What's my Model Number?
    I'm going to assume that you have a Laserjet P1102w. The steps for wireless configuration of a Laserjet P1102w are a bit confusing on Mac OS X 10.8 as you need to use the generic Apple Airprint driver because there is no 'Full Feature Software and Driver' installation for that Operating System. In saying that, I will try my best to give you easy steps to reference should you need to configure your printer again on the wireless network.
    How to Connect the Printer to the Network:
    Step 1: Install the Generic Mac Printer Driver:
    1. Turn your printer on
    2. Plug your USB cable from the printer directly into your Mac
    3. Click on the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences
    4. Click Print & Scan and make sure your printer is in the list of available devices.
    5. If your printer is not listed, click the plus () sign at the bottom left pane, click the name of your USB printer, and then click Add.
    Step 2: Connect the Printer to the Wireless Network:
    I've added the video above so you can view these step-by-step instructions.
    Click the Apple icon (), and then click System Preferences.
    Click Print & Scan.
    Click Open Print Queue, and then click Printer Setup.
    Click the Utility tab, and then click Open Printer Utility.
    Click HTMLConfig.
    Click the Networking tab, and then click Wireless from the list on the left.
    Under Communication Mode, click Infrastructure, select your network SSID from the Available Network Names (SSID) list, and then click the << button.
    From the Security Mode pop-up menu under Authentication, click WEP or WPA/WPA2. Your selection depends on the wireless security protocol your network uses.
    Note: If your network does not have wireless security, leave the Security Mode set to Open System (No Authentication).
    Type your WEP/WPA/WPA2 key in the appropriate field, and then click Apply.
    In the confirmation box, click OK, and then close the HTML Config and Print Queue windows.
    Step 3: Delete the USB connected printer, and then add the wireless connected printer:
    In the Print & Scan window under Printers, click your printer name, and then click the Minus sign () to remove it.
    NOTE: This removes the USB connection from the list so that the only entry for your printer is the wireless connection.
    Disconnect the USB cable from the printer and the computer.
    Under Printers, click the Plus sign ().
    Select your printer name with Bonjour as the Kind, and then click Add
    Once your printer is configured for Bonjour, if you have other Mac OS X computers that you want to use with this network printer you do not have to run all these steps again. You simply make sure that the other Mac computers are all connected to the same network that you have set your printer up on and just open Print & Scan. Under Printers click the  () plus sign and select your  printer name with Bonjour as the Kind, and then click Add.
    You can reference all of this information in: Setting Up the Printer for a Wireless Network for the HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer
    Let me know if these steps help clear up any confusion for you. Good luck!

  • HP Color LaserJet CP2025dn Printer Wired Connectivity and have USB simultaneously?

    Hello to all;
    Thank you in advance.
    I have a HP Color LaserJet CP2025dn Printer. 
    The question, can I use ethernet connection and have USB simultaneously?  Ethernet is faster, right?
    Currently, I have the printer connected to network via Ethernet Wired Connectivity through an Apple Aiirport Extreme base station.  I have several Mac's all operating under 10.9.1, and two PC's (one is WIN XP, and the other WIN 8.1), which all operate fine with 2008 wired/wireless technology. I know what a dinosour. I am in the process of upgrading the household to current wireless technology with a NetGear AC1900 Nighthawk Smart WiFi Router (Model: R7000), 802.11ac Dual Band Gigabit, with two USB ports ((1) 2.0 and (1) 3.0) . I connected the printer directly into the Netgrar router, and it wouldn't print, ran setup through the Mac and Win computers and still wouldnt pring. One of the reasons that sold me on the Netgear router was the ReadySHARE® USB access—Wirelessly access & share. In order for me to utilize the ReadySHARE® feature is to connect via a USB cable.  Sob story, the longest USB cable off the shelf usually 16",  and to reach where the printer is now, I need @25-28 feet of cable. Is ther a maximum length of USB that I can use with out suffering loss of speed/functionality?
    Again thank you for your time

    I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/

  • Can't detect or print to C8189A All-in-One-Printer on a wired LAN

    Computers on my home wired LAN repeatedly but intermittently stop being able to print to the HP C8189A printer attached via wired LAN connection.  I began trouble shooting last night and uninstalled all HP software to start afresh.
    I cannot print to my HP C8189A all-in-one printer conected to a wired network from my desktop PC running Windows XP with SP3.  I can see the printer has pulled an IP from the router by looking at the router's attached client list.  I can ping the printer at its assigned LAN IP address.
    My desktop pc and the C8189A printer share a common DLINK Gigabit Switch which connects wired wired LAN to the DLINK router.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled all HP software but during the HP Solutions Center software reinstall it could not find the PRINTER on the lan, even when inserting the Printer's assigned IP address.
    When checking the network configuration from the printer, it confirms that it is has the correct IP address, but the HP software still cannot detect it.  I have pulled the power connector from the back of the power a couple times to RESET the printer.  This usually corrects what is now a terribly frustrating problem accessing the printer.
    Additional factoids: 1) other PCs can print to this printer, 2) SPYBOT Search & Destroy is running on my PC and popped some registry change windows during the install.
    I'm running out of ideas - any suggestions please?
    Message Edited by VARocketry on 01-09-2009 11:54 AM

    Hmmm ... this is interesting.  In review:
    You can print intermittently from your XP SP3 box to the OJP L7680.
    Disabling the SW firewall (Norton/Symantec, Zonealarm, McAfee, etc) on the SP3 PC doesn't help.
    Other computers on your network have no problems printing to the OJP L7680.
    You are running a wired (Ethernet) network.
    Did I get this right?  I'd like to ask a few more questions:
    What are the other types of computers on your network and what firewall do they run?
    The next time your XP SP3 computer has trouble printing to the OJP L7680, try to access the printer's internal web page.
    What are the IP addresses of the other devices on your network?  By chance, is there a duplicate address on your network?
    Finally, you can try adding the print driver manually to see if we can get you printing.  This is the sequence for XP: 
    Click "Start" button --> Printers and Faxes.
    Under Printer Tasks, click "Add Printer".
    Click "Next" button on the first Add Printer Wizard window.
    If the option for Local or Network printer appears, select "Local printer attached to this computer" and deselect  the "Automatically detect and install My Plug and play  printer" option.  Click "Next".
    Under Select a Printer Port option, select "Create a new port" and select "Standard TCP/IP Port"  and click "Next" button.
    In the "Welcome to the Add Standard TCP/IP printer port wizard" make sure that the printer is  turned on and configured. Click "Next" button.
    Under "Add Standard TCP/IP Printer Port" enter the printer's host name  (that is the hostname of printer that printed in network configuration page)
    under "Additional Port Information" select "Standard". Click Next, and then click Finish.
    Now, select HP from the list of manufacturers, select your printer from  the list of Printer models  and click 'Next' button.
    The Printer name will be highlighted on the next window.
    Click "Next" button.
    It ask for the Printer name -- leave it as is.
    Select "Yes" option for making the printer default.
    Click "Next" button.
    The Printer Sharing dialog box will open.
    Click "Next" button.
    The Print Test Page box appears.
    Select "Yes" option to print a test page.
    Print Test Page.
    Completing the Add Printer Wizard box appears.
    Click "Finish" button and wait for the files to copy 
    This should work to get you a print queue for your XP box.

  • Is it possible to print from my iPad to a Airprint-enabled printer in a wired LAN.

    Is it possible to print from my iPad to a Airprint-enabled printer in a wired LAN? My iPad is via WiFi connected to that LAN. The WiFi connection of the printer isn't used.

    My Canon MX715 printer is wired connected to the router. My iPad is via WiFi connected to the router.
    The printer could be connected via WiFi but I prefer the wired connection. So the printer is part of the LAN to which I get access with my iPad via a WiFi connection. A network scanner shows them all  connected into the LAN.
    My Windows Laptop also connected via WiFi to the same LAN finds the printer and works well every time.
    The iPad has troubles to find the printer.
    After a couples of hours by trial and error I found an app of Canon Easy PhotoPrint. After I installed the app I found my printer and could print. It worked for the apps at my iPad that have the print feature. After a while I discovered that the different apps at my iPad don't find the printer immediately every time when needed. After multiple trials it works again.
    So the big question that remains: Why doesn't it works always? Have I initialize something after start up or wake up the print access to the Lan?

  • HP LaserJet 4300 prints gibberish for one user, but prints OK for all others on a Windows 7 32-bit

    HP LaserJet 4300 printer installed via LPT1 using Universal Print Driver v5.2.6.9321 on an HP 8100 desktop running Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 32-bit.
    For one particular user, this printer prints gibberish no matter what type of document she attempts to print.
    Not sure when the problem began, the user uses a network printer to work around this issue. She can print to any of the other HP printers on our network OK, including another 4300 down the hall.
    Anyone else can log on and print the same documents OK on this desktop using this printer.
    Have tried rebooting the HP 8100 and power cycled off/on the 4300. Also uninstalled and re-installed the 4300.
    I have updated the firmware on this 4300.
    Changing the print processor in the printer properties did not help either.
    Virus and malware scans have not detected any issues.
