Wireless HP Laserjet P1102w cannot 'see' my WiFi/Wireless network

Hi all,
I've been having some problems with my new HO Laserjet P1102w finding my WiFi network which is a Belkin N Wireless Modem/Router (PM01527ea/F5D8636-4).
Have followed the skimpy supplied instructions, which simply say to remove all the packaging, install the Toner cartridge, connect directly to my laptop & follow the instructions which appear when the enclosed CD is inserted.
All goes ok until it tries to connect to my WiFi Modem/Router. It correctly picks up the SSID & also manages to somehow obtain my WPA2-Personal key/pass-phrase (which is scary as I thought it secure!).
But then nothing. Any further progress fails to connect. Even the hallowed 'HP Print and Scan Doctor' util that i downloaded fails to see the WiFi, but the windows laptop & Apple iPads/iPhones can all see, connect & operate correctly.
Should I turn all the security off & try in plain text?
Any help or assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi simonbond,
I understand the mobile devices will connect to the printer but the computer won't.
Thank you for your reply.
I will be happy to help you with this.
Print out a configuration report and make sure the SSID and IP address are correct.
(hold down the x button and when the printer makes a noise let go)
If you have a valid IP address for the printer then try and access the embedded web server for the printer. Type the IP address into internet explorer address bar.
If it loads the printer's network page then the printer is on the network.
If it doesn't load then check the network name the computer is connected to.
Temporarily turn off any Antivirus sotware.
Power cycle the computer, printer and router.
Install the printer as a USB connection.
Then go to start, all programs, HP, Laserjet, wireless configuration wizard, follow the
steps to setup the wireless. Disconnect the USB when completed. Try printing now.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Your wifi network is not working. Restart it. Delete your wifi settings for this network via System Preferences, Network, WiFi, Advanced. Reconfigure and try again.

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!
Thank You.

IMAC cannot see Macbook Pro on network

My iMAC cannot see my Macbook Pro on the wifi network. The macbook pro can see the iMAC and connects etc but not the other way around. My iMAC can see another Macbook ok.
It did connect when I first connected the Macbook pro but since then I cannot find anywhere how to get the iMAC to see the other machine. I need to be able to sync some files.
Is there a setting I have missed on one or both machines.
Cheers
Ian

HI Ian,

Laserjet p1102w can't connect to the network

I am trying to connect my laserjet p1102w printer to the wireless network, numerous times, and it still won't work! I have chatted with hp for three times already, uninstalled and installed software, and looked at the manual from cover to cover. Can anyone please help me connect my computer to the network, anything I have tried does not work.

Well now we know what the issue is. You are not connection to your wireless router via SSID and password.
Go here.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/manualCategory?product=4110396&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
and download the Getting Started and User guide. Page 7 of the User guide is where you want to start. You may have already done all this... but you have not detailed anything yet so I don't know. Keep the USB cable disconnected and start the CD. It should prompt you to plug in the USB cable. If not, plug the USB cable in and start the CD again. Now detail each step and let us know where it fails at please.

I am a fitst time user of the new airport extreme time capsule 2TB. I have a mac book pro and an imac. I installed the router today and got my computers online wirelessly. BUT I cannot get my previous wireless printers to connect with the router.

I am a first time user of the new airport extreme time capsule 2TB. I use a macbook pro and imac. I installed the router today and got on wirelessly. BUT I cannot get my 2 printers that were previously wireless to find the router signal. The worked fine on my current set up OS Mounitain Lion 10.8.4. Apple tells me it is the printer mfr issue and printer companies tell me it is apple issue. Any help appreciated.

Arguably, they're both right.
Changing your router changes everything, so your best course of action is to research the respective printer's documentation and determine how to reset them to factory default condition. Then, add them again using System Preferences > Print & Scan.
For that, I recommend you first "reset the printing system" according to these instructions: Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system. Its instructions for Lion are identical to those for Mountain Lion.
As the article states, it will remove all your existing printers, leaving the Mac's printing system in a similar "factory default" condition ready for you to create a new print queue for each printer, which you should probably do.
Apple's printing support documents contain a great deal of redundancy, but this one may be a good place to start: OS X Mountain Lion: Set up a printer to print wirelessly

HT1947 Having trouble connecting Remote app to iTunes on Windows 8 system. Cannot see devices in same network. Is this a Windows issue?

I have a Windows 8 system running iTunes 11.0.2.26 with an iPad 3rd gen. running Remote app. All units on the same network and subnet. When I bring up iTunes on the windows system, I cannot see any devices, i.e. my iPad. I can ping all connected devices including the iPad from Windows 8 box. Is this a Win8 issue talking to iTunes? Can't seem to crack this nut...

Thanks for the reply.
When I use Remote Desktop and use the Public IP of the router without the port number (49250), I am able to get into the server. However, when I try to use RDP with the [Public IP]:49250, it will not connect to the 192.168.0.30 workstation.
Right now the router is program to forward port 49250 requests to the 0.30 workstation.
I am going to work on the Inbound/Outbound Firewall settings today and see if this will resolve the issue.

G5 Cannot see other devices in network, despite being hardwired to the AE

I just don't get this.
- My G5 is plugged in via Ethernet to an Airport Extreme.
- I have and Airport Express configured as a repeater and for AirTunes in the living room.
- I have an iPhone and a MacBook.
The following conditions are true and as they should be:
- The G5 receives the internet via the Airport Extreme
- The Macbook receives the internet via the network
- The MacBook can see the File Sharing that the G5 puts out
- The MacBook can see the Airport Extreme and Express with Airport Utility
- The MacBook can use iTunes to connect to the Express for AirTunes
- The iPhone receives the internet over Wi-Fi via this network
- The iPhone can use Remote to control the MacBook's iTunes
The following conditions are true and, given above, make no sense to me at all:
- The G5 cannot see either the Airport Extreme or the Express with Airport Utility
- The G5 cannot use iTunes to connect to the Express for AirTunes
- The G5 cannot see the iPhone/Remote in its list of devices in iTunes
I just flat out don't understand how the G5 can get internet from the Airport Extreme and connect to the MacBook over Wi-Fi via the Airport Extreme, but cannot do anything else that the MacBook can do on this network.
Can someone shed some light on this? I've checked firewall settings and they aren't any different between the G5 and the MacBook.
Please.... I'm just totally confused.
P.S. I've left off the complexity of the Laserwriter, but, I often configure this by adding a small hub between the Airport Extreme and the G5, adding in the Laserwriter via Ethernet to the Hub. The G5 can print to it, the MacBook can print to it, but none of the above changes if I remove the Hub from the network.

I've done some additional troubleshooting and things seem to be related to the G5...
- I tried different users on the G5, same results: G5 cannot see AirTunes or the iPhone, and the Airport Utility doesn't show either Airport Express or Extreme
- I tried putting the MacBook on the Ethernet network, disabling the Airport on it, same results: MacBook can see the Airport Express and Extreme with the Utility, and can see Airtunes and the iPhone
I also tried enabling File Sharing on the MacBook. It takes 7 seconds for the G5 to open a connection the MacBook via AFP file sharing, and it takes two minutes for the MacBook to open a connection to the G5 via AFP file sharing.
I think my next step will be reinstalling the OS on the G5, but I wish I understood why two machines with the same OS on the same network, on the same position on the network, have such a difference in what they can see and what they cannot see.
Does anyone have any insights to share?

Airport Time Capsule cannot see my existing wireless network

Just bought iMac and an ATC, and have the iMac connected to my wireless network (Linksys WRT1900AC, 802.11ac) and trying to get the ATC to see it and extend it. The ATC light is blinking amber and while I can see it in the airport utility, when I try to get it to join my wireless network--it doesn't see it, only sees one (my iMac sees 6) and it's my neighbor's (who has a Mac, not sure if Apple wireless)
What to do?
Thanks!

The Time Capsule cannot wirelessly "extend" the signal from the Linksys wireless router.
Instead, the Time Capsule needs to connect to the Linksys router using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection.
If you want the Time Capsule to provide additional wireless coverage, it can do so. Simply use the same wireless network name and password as the Linksys network.
Here, I am assuming that the Time Capsule will be located a few rooms away from the Linksys router....and not in close proximity to the Linksys router.

HP Laserjet P1102w cannot connect to my network..

I posted a week ago on this and am asking again. I have recently installed a new dlink dir835 router. Prior to the new router I used a dlink 615 and my P1102w printer connected to the network just fine. The printer will not connect to my new router which is set up with WPA security. On a previous post I was told that this printer doesn't work with WPA routers. Can someone confirm that to me, I find nothing in the manual that says that. If it is not compatible with WPA security, is there a patch or update somewhere that I can use so that I don't have to buy a new printer? I am not sure if my new router can be changed to WEP security. Do I want to downgrade its security to WEP?

Why don't you see if it can connect at all first. Disable all security on the router and connect and install with NO security. If successful, go back and add WPA2-AES and your new password and check.

Cannot see Windows computers in Network!!!

Hi,
I love my iBook to bits but this problem is doing my head in!
When I first got my iBook, I could see all the Windows computers in my workgroup(called WORKGROUP) in Network. I then noticed after a few weeks that I couldnt any longer!
I can get round this problem by using the SMB/CIFS protocols but I want my computers to appear in Network!
All the Windows computers can see each other. They can even see my iBook in "My Network Places" in Windows XP. However, I can't see any of them in Network! Why?! This problem is killing me! I've checked the workgroup name in Directory access, it is "WORKGROUP" which is the same name in the Windows computers. The iBook even appears in the same workgroup as the windows computers on the in "My Network Places" for all the 3 PCs!
Why can't I see them in Network though!!!

Try the following to change the iMac's default workgroup name: Workgroup to Mshome.
Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Directory Access
- Click on the lock icon to allow changes
- Select the SMB/CIFS option in the list, and then, click on Configure.
- In the pop-up window, enter Mshome in the "Workgroup:" window, and then click OK to save the change.

Pc cannot see time capsule on network

I have a PC running windows 8.1 it connects to the internet just fine through the time capsule, but it does not recognize it in network places. Although the other PCs in my windows homegroup and my Mac do. I ran the networking trouble shooter in Windows and it does not detect a problem. Any suggestions of what I can do next?

Load the airport utility for windows .. 5.6.1 onto the computer.. it can be a bit difficult as it is now getting old. Apple are being lazy or deliberately recalcitrant about windows. Since this utility is not even up to configuring the newest airports.
But it has bonjour for windows and a disk agent that makes things easier.
Make sure the windows computer is set to home as network location.. not work.. not public.
Ping the TC in a command window. If it fails to respond turn off the firewall. Keep changing things. because it will never work whilst ping is unresponsive.
Once ping responds. See if you can access it by directly typing the name into address bar.
\\TCname or \\TCIPaddress
If your TC has one of those long Apple names.. which is not compliant with windows networking.. (albeit the other PC works it will not work 100%, use the IP address).

Help setting up a Laserjet P1102w for wireless printing on a Mac

I'm trying to setup a Laserjet P1102w on my Mac for wireless printing, but it's not working. It will print fine using USB, but all the documentation for wireless setup is for Windows, not Mac. if I connect the printer via USB to my Mac, how will it get an IP address from my wireless network? Any help appreciated.

Hi Staxofjoy,
Based on the information you provided, and comparing to another post regarding this issue (link below) - It sounds like you are running 10.7 (Lion).
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Mac-Printing-and-Scanning/HP-Laserjet-P1102w-driver-for-Macbook-OS-X-Li...
Please go to the linked thread above, and look for the post by mikel1004 - he outlined the steps for connecting Adhoc to the printer very clearly.
Summary of what you will need to to:
1. Reset Printer to Defaults
2. Connect to printer via Adhoc from your Mac (This will disconnect you from your home wireless network)
3. Access HTML Config, and configure the printer's wireless settings manually from there.
4. Reconnect the Mac to the Home Network
5. Add the printer to the print queue.
Hope this helps

After Working For 1 Year, Now Cannot See TC Wirelessly

I have a 2011 MBA 11” running OSX Lion (10.7.4). I also have a 2TB Time Capsule (also purchased in 2011) that I have “networked” into my Verizon Fios Network. What I mean by this, is that it is not hooked up directly, but rather I added the Time Capsule to the Verizon network wirelessly. In addition to this, I have an older Airport Express that I use to hook up some speakers wirelessly.
Everything had pretty much worked flawlessly for a year until early this week, when I could no longer connect to the Time Capsule. It just would not show up on my desktop. I can’t recall any updates either to the MBA or the Verizon router (any ideas how I could tell that?). I can hook up the Time Capsule to the MBA through the ethernet and all the data is there. Also, I when it it hooked up through ethernet, I can see it in Airport Utility. I see and error that Air Port Utility that says Time Capsule cannot extend the network.
I have read numerous postings here (all very helpful) and tried many of the suggestions, including just resetting everything (router, time capsule, etc.) but nothing works. Note, The MBA connects wirelessly to the router fine and also the Airport Express fine. No issues. I just cannot see Time Capsule wirelessly. When I connect it via the ethernet port (since I have an MBA I use the USB/Ethernet connector), then I can access Time Capsule.
Note, I do not think it is interference related, as the MBA can’t see the Capsule wirelessly from just a foot away. Could be wrong, but it seems odd that it all worked before, and I don’t think anything has changed.
Is there some sort of diagnostic where I could test the antenna of the Time Capsule? That is the only thing I can think is wrong at this point. Any other suggestions?
Thank in advance for the help!
John Mc
PS - I am color blind, I have no idea what the lights are.

I just wanted to add that it get renewed automatically after one year , in case you do not want to get it renewed for the next, do cancel it on the 12th month of the subscription.

Has anybody tried wifi printers HP LaserJet P1102w or Samsung ML-2165W on 10.8.1?

The subject says it all... I have found some experiences for both printers, but on 10.7 and below... Anything more recent?
thanks

Hi,
The HP Laserjet P1102w currently only supported via Wireless connection using AirPrint. Full Functionality should be available later.
Make sure to update the latest firmware of the printer to enable AirPrint and add the printer as you may find listed below:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03425022&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en &os=219&product=4110396&sw_lang=
And the latest firmware can be found in here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=bi-95186-3 &cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=219&product=4110396&sw_lang=
Make sure the printer connected to the wireless network, the Blue light should appear as solid blue.
If the light is blinking the printer is disconnected from your network. Let me know and I will provide you the steps to connect it to the router.
Regards,
Shlomi
