Unable to connect my P1102w printer to my network wireless (using Mac OS 10.6)

I have a home network wireless vanilla (D-Link to a cable modem) and a MacMini running OS 10.6.8. My Mac laptop and 4th. GEN iPad work seamlessly. But my attempt to long hours to connect my new HP P1102w network was totally frustrating, despite a careful study of the documentation pdf, device/self test the printer configuration sheet, sailing on this forum, I'm looking at a slew of videos YouTube/HP and following all sorts of directions.

The only consolation is the printer works fine on USB connection.

Here are a few questions I met and that stopped me in my tracks:

Carefully following both instructions pdf and video operating instructions online to HP, I get by step 6 w / no problemn. but then I go to step 7, which says:

"Under the Mode of Communication , Infrastructure -click, select your network SSID from the list of names of the network (SSID)" and then click on the button. ""

Problem is that there is nothing in this window. What I see is a State of the Wireless: enable or disabled (according to choice). And even if I try to select enabled, happening right now for people with reduced mobility. Aside: I note that the printed instructions show a copyright date of 2011. It's ancient history in the world of the CPU.

Other issues: the single IP address I can find for the printer is the IPv4 address, but it is only for direct printing Configuration. What is the IP I'm looking for?

Address of the printer hardward, I suppose, is your MAC? Boy, I sure could use better use of language here.

So, needless to say, I'm stuck. It seems that it takes THAT hard, but so far nothing that I could find on the HP support or forums seems to help. Thanks for any advice you can provide.

PS. I wouldn't go back this printer because I am a lover of HP printer, two decade, but alas, I might have if I can't find a solution.

Dear Gemini02,

Thanks a lot for your helpful answer. It seems very complete, and I'm happy to give it a status of resolved problem, although I have not yet tried.  The reason is, one day before receiving your message, I benefited from technical support from HP that came with the guarantee of my printer (Oh!) I would have called them first before going on the forums. Lesson learned) and they took me in hand.

I quickly reached a support person surprisingly knowledgeable and helpful tech (work of the night in Manila, PI shift), and I quickly accepted allow access remotely to my Mac and printer. For much of the next hour she practically held my hand as she walked through a fairly complex set of steps (very similar to yours) and here!, the problem has been resolved. She later sent me the steps she helped me through, as follows:

    Hello, I have a printer HP OfficeJet 6700 Premium that works perfectly with all my computers except my PB G4 laptop running OS x 10.4 Tiger.  It seems that I have correctly configured the laptop to connect with thew printer, but when I try to print, I get an error message that the printer is unavailable or busy.  Is there a software fix or I need to install any software? Thank you for any assistance.

    Hello

    I'm afraid that the printer is only supported on Mac OS X 10.6 or higher, any old version is not supported.

  • Unable to connect to a printer on a network

    I installed the printer in my main (office/windows xp), it is set up for sharing, and it is connected to a USB port.

    I want to be able to access this printer from my laptop (windows Vista) and I can't for the life of me, understand why it won't.

    When I try to "Add a printer" it says it can't find the way, and I know that the path is correct. It is \\my pc ordinateur\nomfichier name.

    It won't let me install from the cd of the printer itself, because when I choose the Installation or network, it is not all printers in the list. If I choose manual Installation from the CD too, he asked once again for the name of the remote computer and the name of the printer and it says ' Setup could not connect to the remote computer. Please make sure that you have the name of the computer that is entered correctly, and that the computer is turned on, which it is."

    I'm lost here, I'd appreciate any help.

    @Lancer3

    Welcome to the HP Forums, it's a great place to get help, find answers and advice,
    Thanks for posting your request, I'll be more than happy to help you

    If I understand correctly the printer to scan does not work after the recent update of the Sierra,

    Don't worry, even if the following document does not mention Sierra, the Apple article will guide you through the steps to scan through

    • Image capture
    • Overview
    • Printers and Fax preferences in system preferences
    • Scanner / printer queue

    The basics of the Mac: using a scanner

    I also suggest to use the Apple Scan while you wait for the HP software update. You can use the link below to confirm that your printer is still compatible with your operating system: software of the printer and scanner for macOS Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, and the Mavericks.

    For links related, please here.

  • Unable to connect to the printer via IP address

    I changed my ISP (internet service provider) and therefore changed routers - now unable to connect to the printer.
    I put a static IP address on my HP Photosmart B110a printer before we changed to ISP because there are connection problems. When we were setup to the ISP again, we are unable to connect to the printer, such as the printers IP 192.168.1.12
    The new network ISP IP range is 192.168.0.xx and printers address IP is out of the network.
    I can print via the USB cable but I can't return to my printers GUI by entering 192.168.1.12 return the printer back from the static IP address.
    A hard reset for this printer would be appreciated.
    Thank you very much.

    Hello
    I solved the problem. The answer was staring face heres so my solution for someone who has had similar problems.
    I didn't dig up the old router that affects the 192.168.1.xx IP network and then connected my PC, connected my printer then connected printers user interface through the static IP address, I assigned earlier. Changed to automatic IP. Connected my new router (which assigns the IP addresses of 192.168.0.xx) to my PC and printer. Everything is now OK.
    Thank you.

    Hi aunt Shirley.

    First of all, we're going to connect the printer to the network:

    -Restore default values of network within the menu on the front panel of the printer wireless.
    -From your computer, connect wirelessly to the network printer (it should be a name similar to HP - Setup - xx - Deskjet 3510).
    -After successfully connecting to the printer, open a web browser such as Internet Explorer or Chrome and type 192.168.223.1 in the address bar and press ENTER.
    -Click on the Wireless Setup Wizard
    -Select your router and enter the password to connect to the printer to the router.

    Run again the printer software to your computer to rediscover the printer on the network.

    My printer was working with my laptop via a wireless network. Now I can't print or connect to my printer. I'm always connected to the network, but I can't connect to the printer. When I try to add it, I can see the name of the printer and I select it, but I get the error "Windows cannot connect to the printer" [operation failed with error 0x00000002]. I changed from Windows Vista to Windows 7, several months ago, but I don't know if that makes a difference (I think I used printer at least once since I change). Help, please.

  • I have problems wireless on my Acer laptop which has Windows Vista. I am able to connect to my school of university network and used to connect to my home network.

    original title: Wireless on the Fritz

    I have problems wireless on my Acer laptop which has Windows Vista.  I am able to connect to my school of university network and used to connect to my home network (both are networks limited requiring a password or log in).  However, last week my computer stopped connecting to my home network (no one else has this problem with the home network).  I tried to fix the problem, but my computer says that "Wireless association failed because Windows did not receive response from the access point or wireless router."  That said also thatthe connection "(my wireless network)" has been cancelled.  This is perhaps due to a timeout or user action. »

    The only different thing I did last week was click option at my University 'connect long-term' instead of 'connect short term' to their wireless network.  Maybe who has messed up my settings?  That's what my University said of his record long term: "students, faculty and staff also have an option to easily record their computer (or other wireless devices), so that it is not necessary to authenticate each day they connect from the network wireless campus, to resources outside the University.»  However, these settings are saved on their network (I can access it online from another computer), so I think it is unlikely that he messed up my settings.

    I don't really know what the problem is.  Any ideas as to what I can do?  I don't want to reset my computer everything.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    You can view these methods:

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to disable any program of security on your computer and check if it solves the problem.

    After reviewing the question you must reactivate the security on your computer program.
    Note: Run the computer without antivirus software or firewall is a potential threat to the computer; Be sure to activate security software after completing the troubleshooting steps and after identifying the problem.
    Method 2:
    I suggest also allows you to check in SafeMode with network.
    Method 3:
    I also suggest you to check the settings of the router firewall.

    Printer and macbook show good wifi signal.

    Did the disconnect/reconnect the two devices and the comcast router.

    Check the "share printer on the network", on and outside.

    The printer works sometimes and at random.  Example: trying to print a Word document that has failed, but sometimes from one day to the next, the document printed.  Spookie!  But above all, the printer will not connect.

    Problem started after the two aircraft had been disconnected for a few days and move while some construction was conducted at the scene.

    Is there a setting that needs to be found and reset?  Could any dust, etc. of construction altering the router?  Please help, preferably with a simple solution.

    Thanks for joining us on the HP Forums today, hope you enjoy your time with us!

  • HP officejet 7500 E910: unable to connect my HP printer to laptop

    I can't get my laptop (Toshiba Satellite) to connect with my printer HP, (Officejet 7500 E910). This printer was working with this computer until I experienced connection problems. Thought it was my router and replaced by the new router, (BelkinAC1750 DB). Router works fine with the laptop and another, (which has Windows 8.1). I can't connect either wired or wireless for printer or PC. I rebooted to update software that is recommended with this printer that is listed as compatible with windows 10 twice. When I run the HP software to solve problems, it shows the installation is successful, but I get a file error when I try to print.  I tried to reconnect several times to the network, but I think that the IP address on the printer set up display is wrong, but I don't know how to check this. The HP software troubleshooting help gives this as a problem, (the IP address is incorrect or a wireless network).  I disable firewall and antivirus with no result. I read all the suggestions I can find without success. I would like to reset the printer to the original configuration, but I can't find the method to do it. I think the problem is with the printer. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I discovered how to reset my default settings for the touch screen of the printer. It's under the 'Tools' menu, I didn't just not scrolled to the bottom. I have reset to the factory settings and then you had to use the HP printer Assistant, but I connected the printer to the network successfully with the correct IP, 192.168.2.171. The two PC is now no trouble-free printing. I don't know how I got into this mess, but I know that it is with your help that I managed to find a solution. Thank you for your time and your efforts. You saved me time and money.
