HP Laserjet P1102w Wireless Setup

HP LaserJet Pro P1102w looks like a pretty good printer: Compact build, monochrome laser Unit 600 x 600 dpi, up to 19 pages per minute, built-in WiFi connection, toner cheap, competitive price. And unlike other cheap WiFi-enabled printers on the market, HP offers the right Linux drivers and Linux utilities available on all major Linux distributions.

So I took the unit at a local electronics retailer and tried integrating it into my home network. At first everything seemed fine: the printer does not have a front panel, so it must be connected via USB to the initial WiFi configuration. The HP Wizard appears instantly, finds printers and scans the available wireless networks. I chose My network, entered a passphrase and waited. After a few minutes, an error message appears, telling me that the printer does not appear on the network as expected. I found a thread that was already in HP forum about this problem, and after an hour of debugging I thought I had found most of the problems.

• Unplug the USB cable from the printer and computer if present.
• Go to Control panel – Programs and feature – Select all the HP LaserJet printer entries and uninstall them.
• Restart your computer.
• Now click on Link to download and install the printer drivers.
• When prompted, select the Connect through a wireless network option.
• When prompted, connect the USB cable  to the computer.
• When the installation is complete, print a configuration report to make sure the printer has an SSID name.
  1. Make sure the Ready light  is on and that the printer is idle and silent.
  2. Press and hold the Cancel button , and release it when the Ready light  begins blinking.
     The Configuration report prints.
• When the Configuration Report prints, disconnect the USB cable  from the printer.
  Your printer is now set up to use over a wireless network connection.


Once the printer is connected to the wireless network, you can print from your iPhone as well  
Install the HP Smart app (Previously HP AiO Remote app) to print from your iOS device. Go to Apple store Storenstall the HP Smart app on your phone.
