Problem installing HP LaserJet printer p1102w on a MAC

[pm-r]

I'll let you know how I do and if I have any follow up questions.

If you haven't used it, you may find the following helpful:

Or more specifically:
Setting up the printer on a wireless network (Mac)

If the printer is not presciently working the way you want, it may be a good idea to delete it all and start over again using the guide.

Take care travelling and have a good safe trip. Still lots of snow and slippery ice around on most BC Roads.


PS: if you prefer good instructional videos as I do, give this a watch and listen and it's actually easier than it appears:

Depending on your OS X version, You may not even have to connect the printer to your Mac with a USB cable, but just Select and use Bonjour to select the printer, and the software may just download and install automatically on its own.

A Restart of the Mac may be required. Just to be sure.

I can get mine connected in less than 30 seconds. Does your router have a WPS button? If so press it then press the WPS button on the HP. The blue light will blink then go solid when it connects to WiFi. Works here with 4 different routers.

That's a nice printer, it's just too bad I could never get it to work right with the router setup I had at the time. The routers that are used with FIOS are proprietary and only work with that system. The router not only provides WiFi but it also provides signals to the FIOS TV setup. Without those signals, the FIOS cable box doesn't work right.

I could never get the HP 1102W to lock on to the WiFi signal. And the FIOS routers have no WPS button.

Chicago, every once in awhile, I have problems with the printer connecting to the network. However, in my setup, every HP printer I have (2) puts out its own "network", available to be joined. I click on THAT network, and boom...prints every time.

This doesn't happen very often though.

EDIT: sorry about the "Chicago"...**** autocorrect.

I am glad then I never had that FIOS here with that router. It would drive me crazy as I have a few things that need the WPS button to connect!
