P1102w: slow down or will not be printed

Most of the time the right printer is unresponsive.  If I have the document a break and then start it again, it will usually respond on the 2nd or the 3rd test.

Hey @Vernon8850,

Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

I see that your Laserjet P1102w printer isn't always the impression of your Mac OS x 10.10 machine. I can help you with that.

To start, make sure that the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet, not a surge protector. Once it's done:

If the printer is connected wireless to your Mac

Turn the printer off.

While the printer is turned off, disconnect the power cable from the back of the router for a minute.

When the lights come back on the router, turn on the printer.

If the printer is connected via USB cable to your Mac

Unplug the USB cable.

Now, let's do the following:

  1. Click on your Apple icon, system preferences and printers and Scanners.
  2. Hold down the CTRL key and click the icon of your printer on the left side.
  3. Click on reset printing system.
  4. Open Applications, utility and disk utility.
  5. Click on Macintosh HD on the left
  6. Click on verify disk permissions. This should take about 10 minutes.
  7. Click on repair disk permissions. This should take about 10 minutes.
  8. Restart your Mac.

If you have earlier removed the USB cable, connect. Otherwise:

  1. Click on your Apple icon, system preferences and printers and Scanners.
  2. Click on the button "+" in the lower left corner.
  3. Select your printer from the list.
  4. Click in the box next to and select your printer.
  5. Click on Add.

At this point, you should be able to print every time. Please let me know what happens when you follow the above. If you are able to print, click on accept solution. If you appreciate my help, please click on the thumbs up icon. You should find two icons below this post.
