HP LaserJet P1102w: Windows 8.1 - run two different USB connected P1102w printers with simple shortcut on the desktop?

I am trying to set up a single laptop Windows 8.1 for someone who uses it according to the seasons in two locations (FL and MY). I installed a HP LaserJet P1102w printer in each location. I wish I had a printer that is connected USB (one at a time will be connected) able to access in an only menu icon Office or file print command.

When you add the second printer, Windows8.1 recocognized, the driver is already installed, he apparently recognizes the different addresses MAC and/or numbers of series of different printers and present second printer on the page devices and printers in Control Panel or allow a second printer on the desktop icon.  The only way to tell apart printers is that one is listed as a Hewlett-Packard LaserJet P1102w and the other is listed as a HP LaserJet P1102w. It is rather confusing to the elderly person who will be using the laptop.

Is it possible to have the mobile exploit any printer is connected both by means of a simple print command or icon? Maybe by connecting via a WSD Port Monitor?

Thanks for any help or advice!

Hey @dmwaters138,

Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

I understand that you do not want to have two HP LaserJet Pro P1102w printer operation via USB Wired on 1 single machine with a single order of printing or the icon. I would like to help you with the configuration of this option today. Because there are two distinct Laserjet on Windows 8.1 computer printers, to do two icons impression for various devices. The best way to tell the difference between the two devices is to rename printers. Thus, when the client goes in file and print in the print dialog window, simply choose the printer name that corresponds with the device they want to print to. You can rename printers all you want. Install printers on the WSD Port wireless network would give the same result of having two copies of the printer is installed on the computer. One thing I see, is that the name of the HP Laserjet Printer is unusual. It seems that your printers may be using the built in Windows drivers, rather than the HP Full Feature driver package for the device. This may cause printing conflicts in the future. Can I please you follow the steps below to set up and install both LaserJet HP correctly.

Step 1: Remove the drivers:

It is crucial that your HP LaserJet are using the correct HP driver package. So I'll have you remove two copies of your HP Laserjet of the computer. Please make sure that the USB cables are connected.

After have removed two copies of the Laserjet please close devices and printers.
  4. Then, on the Start screen type programs and features. Click on programs and features to launch the window
  5. Scroll the list of programs and find the HP Laserjet driver package. If you see the HP Laserjet printers select Uninstall. Please follow the prompts on the screen to complete the uninstallation. Once the uninstall is complete, please close programs and features and continue to the next step.

Step 2: Remove temporary files:

  1. Open the screen, Start by selecting the Windows icon at the bottom left of the computer screen or by selecting the Windows key bottom left of the keyboard, to the right of the Ctrl key
  2. In the start screen, type run. Click on Run to launch the run dialogue box
  3. In the run box, type %temp% , and then click OK
  4. When the Temp folder opens, select Ctrl + A at the same time on your keyboard. Everything in this folder will highlight now.
  5. Select the "delete" button on your keyboard. The Temp folder contains the temporary internet files. None of the actual files or folders on your computer will be affected by deleting Temp files. A Temp file should you will automatically get the pop up to 'jump' this point.
  6. Close the Temp folder when it is empty
  7. Right-click the recycling bin on your desktop and select empty recycling bin. Please proceed to the next step.

Step 3: Install devices:

1. Please leave unplugged USB cables

2. Please click here to download the package full feature software and driver for the HP Laserjet Printer

11. in the title of the installation window, select "Add another printer. Don't connect not the USB at the moment. Click Next.

12 connect the USB cable for the second printer once the installation window invites you to. After the second installation, please open the Start screen.

  • How to add a shortcut on the desktop for streets & trips 2013 for windows 7

    Just installed MS streets and trips 2013, I do not see anywhere how to send a shortcut on the desktop. Tried to do a right click on the programs, but this option is not started.

    I don't have the application under test, but normally you right click on the exe programs (or registering in the program menu) and either "create shortcut" or "send to" and then "desktop".

    If the options are not there, your office, do new right click - shortcut, find your exe file of programs (the actual file you want to run) and and we should end up with a shortcut on your desktop to your program. (hopefully :-))

    Hi subhshy001,

    Welcome to the Microsoft Windows answers Forum community!

    Try this if you do not have

    Windows Explorer to create the folders and shortcuts in your document folder, drag and drop them on your desktop.

    If you have completed the steps and was not even useful,

    Follow these steps:

    Try to create a shortcut and sending it on the desktop.

    (1) open: Start Menu ,.
    (2) right-click: Internet Explorer icon .
    (3) select: send to > desktop (create shortcut).

    There should be a shortcut on the desktop .

    Make sure that the "show desktop icon" has a check against it

    OR

    Just click on the empty part of the desktop, choose new > then select the folder to create. Right click on this folder , select Rename it.

    If the steps above do not work then:

    You can scan your computer for malware.

    You can download, install and update anti-malware free of your favorite search engine and find malware.

    If the scan comes back clean, so I recommend doing a System File Checker too l to analyze your OS system files.

    To help resolve this problem, use the tool (SFC.exe) System File Checker to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. open an elevated command prompt . To do this, click Start , click principally made programs , Accessories , right-click guest , and then click run as administrator .  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow .
    2. type the following command and press ENTER: sfc/scannow (Yes there is a space after sfc) the sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions. This analysis do take some time to complete.

    Hope this information helped!

  • I have windows vista and when I click on a shortcut on the desktop I have a pop up asking what file to open it with. In order to open the file I find the actuall file.

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    I hope this helps. Good luck.

  • Shortcut on the desktop for Windows Defender

    Hello. I have Windows 7 starter on my netbook and want to create a shortcut on the desktop for Windows Defender. However, it does not appear as a program in the start menu and the option to display the control panel more big or small icons is greyed out (i.e., not available in starter edition), I don't see the program on the control panel or the other. The only way I can get to it is to type in 'Defender' in the search field in the start menu or the search field on the control panel. Although one of these actions will locate Windows Defender, they do not provide me the ability to create a shortcut for the application. I tried searching in Program Files on the C drive and found him, but did not know which file right-click on the folder to create a shortcut file. If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it.

    Second, Windows Defender is updated analysis scheduled around 02:00 every morning, but my computer isn't on then, I expect to do a scan automatically the next day when I turned the computer back on. He did not do that and always displays the last analysis as being the manual I did the day before. Is it possible to get auto-start if it misses its slot 02,00 regular?

    Thank you very much.

    Thank you both for responding: I did click right and do drag the thing like that seemed simpler and it worked: thank you. Are you able to let me know how to get the Defender to make an auto scan when I turn on the computer if it misses its slot 02,00?

    My new computer replacement provided with Windows 7 and Windows Live Mail installed as my email client.  I have been using it and it.  I was also put my contacts in the folder of Live Mail contacts within this program.  Since the file allows other information in addition to the email, I would like to use as my contacts folder by default/hand/don't touch that file, but I want to have a shortcut on the desktop to access the full file of contacts directly without having to open the complete e-mail program.  I tried in vain to drag a copy to the desktop, locate the program in live mail and create the shortcut to a file that opens the list of contacts.  I also noted and found a file of contacts under c/users/chick who looks like and contains the same information on a contact (it has the face of the same user) identical to the contacts in the folder of Windows Live e-mail but does not contain contact information that I already have in the program Live Mail and apparently isn't the same folder.  How can I create a shortcut on my desktop that opens just the contacts folder in the windows program live mail?  I could also ask the same question on the calendar in windows live mail.  Thank you, chick.

  • LaserJet P1102w, why not install it via the USB port on a second system to dual boot Windows XP/Windows XP?

    A seriously paralyzed malware on my laptop Dell Inspiron 1318 running Windows XP Professional SP3 with 3 GB of memory. Some key files have been deleted, and I can't open all .lnk files. After some research, my solution was to start from a clean format. However, I have some programs on the old system that I really need and impossible to reinstall on a new system. So, I chose to install a new WinXP as a dual boot on a separate partition (I have also a third partition that I use for user files); keep the old system for when I really need.

    After installing the new WinXP, the detector material caused my LaserJet P1102W printer install pop up box. I was busy to install other drivers at the time so I canceled the installation of the printer later. When I came back to him, he went for the bulk of the fine saves but then abruptly stopped, saying: "the printer installation failed. On the HP site, I went through all the HP printer Diagnostics steps without good results.

    I really want to get this printer working on my new system. What can I do?
