Trying to use HPLJ 1102w as a wired network printer. How do you configure the network settings?

I have an HPLJ 1102W and I want to use it as a wired printer on my LAN. The trouble is, the easy setup utility is geared toward wireless networking and the ethernet interface will not get a DHCP address from the LAN. In order to get an IP address, I have to go through the wireless networking configuration settings. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to use this printer as a wired network printer?
thanks,

Hi,
The HP LaserJet P1102w provide USB or wireless network interface only.
the product do not include any ethernet card, as you may also find by its spesification System Requirements below:

P1102w with USB, wired network print problems

Net work is a wired LAN, all workstations run Windows XP SP3
Installed Laserjet P1102w using USB cable. Turned sharing on. Was able to install P1102w on other workstations as wired network printer - But can not print from network work stations - document just sits in print que - Printing from the station printer is hardwired (USB) to works fine

All workstations need to have the printer software installed.
If that does not work, make sure the firewall (on the host and/or remote) stations are not blocking access to the printer. Windows software is usually not the problem, it is more often the antivirus software's firewall. Disable it and retest.

Canon MP980 not visible as wired network printer

I have a Canon MP980, ethernet attached that worked fine on two MacBook Pros running Leopard. Upgraded to SL on one of the machines and the printer can't be discovered. Updated drivers, works fine USB attached. Spent an hour on the phone with Canon tech. Can ping it. Scanner works. We trashed preferences, repaired permissions, reinstalled again, no luck. Canon sent me to Apple who told me that network printer issues were "not supported." Suggested I try the forums. Here I am, any advice? When I run the Canon IJ Network tool, it shows me the mac address, when I click "Apply" nothing happens. Network printer never shows up in the add printer panel. Only "printer" listed is Canon MP980 Series but the "Kind" column lists "Bonjour Scanner."

Here you go. Thanks for your help!

Couldn't find wired network printer - Reset to factory defaults solved the problem

In the hopes of helping others who may have this problem - I got a new E3000 router and set up everything fine but could not see my Brother HL5250DN wired printer on the network. Tried everything including the Brother "network repair tool", nothing worked. Finally I did a reset of the printer to factory defaults and presto, it appeared on the DHCP table! So if you can't find a device like this try resetting it according the the manufacturer instructions. Pulling the plug or turning it off and on may not be sufficient.
For my 5250 the reset involved turning the printer on while holding the GO button down, then after the LED's go off, press GO six times. Pretty arcane procedure but it worked. Problem solved.

How about you try these troubleshooting steps:
Reboot the router (for 30seconds)
Wait for the power light to blink TWICE
Reboot the router again (for 30 seconds)
Wait for 2-5mins for the power light to get solid
Check then if you can ping the router ; try to configure it
Once the router will respond, try to set it up manually. For further instructions to set it up manually, refer to these links: Setting up a Linksys router with Cable Internet service & Setting up a Linksys router for DSL Internet connection.

Can I set up a wireless printer as a network printer and not use Airport?

I have a HP Photosmart Plus wireless printer set up in my network for use by several iPods, iPads, and iPhones. I have an iMac running 10.6.8 that I want to set it up on, but to use it as a regular network printer, not using Airport. Is this possible? I haven't been able to hit on the right combination of settings. I have a Samsung laser printer that works this way, and an Epson that is attached to an Airport Express, but all I get on the HP is garbage. It will work when I set it up using the HP install disk, but I have to use Airport and I don't always get a good signal where the iMac is located. I would prefer to use the wired connection to my router and access the HP's IP address, like a wired network printer. Any suggestions?

I'm using a Canon printer here which is networked via my Airport Express. My printer cannot be Wi fi enabled simultaneousely with an ethernet cable connection. It is either or. I realise that this doesn't fully answer your question, but I just wanted to give you a clue. You'd need to consult your owners manual, or HP to get a definitive answer.
If you want to use the HP printer printer only with the wired ethernet connection to your router, that should be no problem as long as it is ethernet capable.
After setting it up for wired ethernet capability, you will need through the sequence of powering your router down, and resetting you Lan network so the router and printer can pick up their respective IP assignments.

Help With HP Network Printer

Hello,
Just got my new Imac 21" and it is awesome. Issue I am having is that it is replacing a Windows PC that had a wired network printer attached and worked fine. Printer is a HP All In One 6100C. I can ping the printer ip, I can also bring up the printer in a browser with ip. But when I go to add the printer, I enter the IP address, and it comes back as not seeing the printer? I have tried protocol Line Printer and IPP? I must be missing something. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks JR

So is the printer attached directly to your iMac, or is it attached to a router? Mine is attached to the Mac with USB and then shared with the other computers in the house over the LAN. Works great.

HP CP1525nw - Connect via wired network and wireless ad hoc?

At my job we have our HP 1525nw printer connected into the network printserver via ethernet cable. The printer has its own IP address setup on the network.
With support for XP computers ceasing, a copule of computers will be cut off/blocked from the job's network. One computer is close enough where we can make a USB connection to print. Another is located on another bench. Furthermore, the one that is further away from the printer also can't be upgraded to a compliant Windows OS due to incompatibility with specialized software used to operate equipment hooked up to this computer.
Is it at all possible for this wired network printer to also be setup to print wireless via an ad hoc connection? The idea was perhaps we could install a wireless card on thix XP computer and print wirelessly via a direct connection to the printer, avoiding having to connect to it via the wired network at all. But it is sounding like this wouldn't be possible. Looking for a direct answer before I start shopping around for a wireless PCI card.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

From other posts I have read, I think the CP1525 can be either ethernet or wireless not both at the same time. That will prevent you from setting up with an adhoc network the way you described.
You might try an inexpensive wireless router with a build in print server attached to the usb port. then add wireless USB wireless dongles to the XP computers. Be sure you make sure that the wireless dongles support XP. Also for security purposes you will want to leave the wireless router disconnected from your network.
If your fairly tecky and you don't mind playing a bit you could check your local thrift store for a used router with a print server. For printing you don't need the fastest wireless available. Just make sure it is a b/g router (not a B only one).

Print quality from network printer

poor print quality from HP wireless pc, Windows 7 64-bit, to wired network printer (Epson 500 all in one). Print Quality from desktop pc is great.

Happy Friday eve! It appears you are using a Epson printer This forum is used to troubleshooting HP printers. I would suggest using Epson support center to see if it can help resolve your issue. Welcome to Epson Support Be sure you have full cartridges and you are not using a Draft or low quality print setting.
Good luck!

Officejet 7410 Driver for Windows 10 does not find my wired (Ethernet) printer during installation

The driver apparently didn't install completely because I can't run HP Solution Center. I can access the web server on the printer by using the IP address in a browser. I set it to a static address. The driver seems to install except that it won't find the printer when I select a wired network printer. This printer has been working for years with Windows 7. Surprisingly, I can still print, but I can't scan since the Solution Center won't run. If I use the print and scan doctor, it tells me I need a new driver, but if I then try download it from that program, it always fails. I have installed the driver with a data of Aug 3 2015. That seems to be the latest one. I don't know whar else to do. I need some help.

Welcome to the HP Community , I hope to help you with the installation issues you're having with your Officejet 7410 on Windows 10. Below are some suggestions I have for you to try. Let me know what happens. If you see any error codes or messages, please tell me the specifics. Start with power cycling the network devices:
Turn off the printer and computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press any buttons on the router).
Plug the router back in and wait another minute, next turn on the printer and computer. Perform a Clean Boot on your computer:1. Begin by typing “msconfig” in the Cortana Search Box and then click on MSConfig (Run Command)
Or on your keyboard press the Windows + R key at the same time and type Msconfig in the run window, then click on OK or hit enter.
2. Now choose Selective Start-up
3. Remove the check from Load Startup Items
4. Click on the Services tab
5. Check “Hide all Microsoft Services” and then click on Disable All
6. Click on Apply and then on OK. 7. Click this link to download the full driver and software: HP Photosmart and Officejet Full Feature Software and Drivers Now open up the software and try scanning, and try printing too! Reminder: Go back in to the Clean Boot instructions and enable the start up services! Good luck Show thanks for my reply to help you today by hitting the "thumbs up" icon below!

HP LaserJet Pro m201dw suddenly not printing via ethernet (wired) network using Mac OS 10.10.1

Hi,
My brand-new HP LaserJet Pro M201dw is suddenly not cooperating when I go to print using my Mac. I had it set up following the directions which closest matched my OS and it worked perfectly for one week; today suddenly it won't cooperate. The printer is seen on the network. I have deleted and re-installed it from my System Preferences several times. I have rebooted my computer. I cannot seem to get it to work. Even the HP Utility is having difficulty. The HP Utility is suddenly slow and often needs to be force-quit as it hangs when I navigate to other applications (web browser, etc.) while waiting for it to respond to clicks. Most often the HP Utility shows the printer in the status ara as "Device Status: Unknown" and "Supplies: Unknown" which it wasn't having issues with yesterday.
Can anyone help me troubleshoot this device? Is there better documentation than the basic setup page here on HP? What about adjusting some setting in the printer web page (which I can access) - is the answer in there?
Thank you.

Wired Network conputer cannot find host printer

I cannot print to host printer on a home wired network.
Printer is HP Photosmart 7520 e all in one.
Host Compter is a Dell Dimension 8100
Pentium 4 1.3 GHz 2.0 GB RAM
Windows XP SP3 host computer.
Netgear N600 Dual Band Router
Model WNDR3400
Network Computer:
Nobilis
Pentium 4 dual core 2.8 GHz
2.5 GB RAM
Linux Mint 17 OS
Both computers share the internet without any problems. The Dell computer prints without any problems. The Dell computer properties 'share this printer' box is checked. I cannot find any IP address for the printer. When I printed out the printer configuration sheet, no IP address was given. When I go to the Control Center->Printers->local-host on the Linux OS, it says it is 'connected to local-host' and 'There are no pinters configured yet'. I then selected 'Add' to add a printer. A 'New Printer' screen comes up and ask to 'Select Device' and also 'Enter URI'. This is where I am stopped in my tracks since I have no 'URI'. Under the 'select device' side there are several options: LPT #1, Serial Port #1, Enter URI, and 'Network Printer'. If Network Printer is selected a dropdown list appears: The main heading is "Find Network Printer'. Selecting 'Find Network Printer' gives various internet protocols (ipp, ipps, https, ipp14, LPD/LPR Host or Printer, Windows printer via Samba, and APP Socket/HP Direct.
The Dell computer has alway worked fine and without problems (XP OS) on any HP printer.
This is where I am stymied! Can someone help me from here.

Can you see the Windows computers when browsing from GO > Connect to server?
Anything different in network connection - you use wireless, they use ethernet, for example?

Wired airport express to extend wireless network and connect network printer?

Is it possible to configure and connect an Airport Express via ethernet cable to an Airport Extreme base station in order to extend wireless network AND connect a network printer to it? Here's the deal...The Airport Extreme is directly connected to my DSL modem and the wireless network is working fine in my house, but, the signal does not reach my detached studio/office. I have a Cat5e cable (and phone line, more on this later) run between the two locations and trimmed out. I would like to have wireless access and connect my network printer (Brother HL-2170W, wireless or wired) in my studio, be able to use printer from house also, and still have wireless access in house.
So, ethernet connection from Extreme to Express, USB from Express to Printer, wireless access for all users. Can anyone talk me through how to (re)configure the Express to do this? Do I need to make changes to Extreme configuration also?

Yes. Apple's instructions for this are here:

Instead of a second AirPort Extreme as illustrated, you will be using the AirPort Express.
