Hi thuspicy4u

 

I would reset the printer first to clear out any previous network settings.
Turn the printer off, hold down the wireless button and cancel (x button) while turning the printer back on and don't release the two buttons until the printer stops making noise.
http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02486112

Print out a configuration report and make sure the ssid and ip address are cleared.
(hold down the x button and when the printer makes a noise let go)

After the reset, disconnect the routers power cable, wait 10 seconds, then reconnect the power cable. Wait till it's ready.

Plug the printer back into the mac with the usb cable.

 

Go to the Mac Harddrive, library, printers, hp,laserjet, P1100_P1560_P1600Series, open htmlconfig. Go to the network tab, select wireless on the left side, select infrastructure, select network name, select the double arrow button to move the network name over to the left side, fill in passwords, apply. You should get a solid blue wireless light in about 1 minute.
(Note: if the html config doesn't load you will have to update the printers firmware with usb connection)
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=bi-115797-2&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...

Then go to the apple, system preferences, print & scan, highlight the P1102w and click the minus at bottom left corner to delete it, then disconnect usb cable, click plus sign in bottom left corner and highlight the P1102w bonjour printer and click the add button.

Test the printing.

 

If you need more assistance just let me know.

Hello ararar010101!

 

To print wirelessly to your Laserjet P1102w from your Mac product, you need to connect the printer to a wireless network. When your Mac is connected to this network it should be able to view the printer as a device for printing.

 

If you connect the printer to a Windows XP computer through the USB cable it should retain its connection to the wireless network, and be accessable by the Mac still.

 

Post back if you have any questions.

Apparently, Apple doesn't have the drivers for this printer.  I am using Mac OS X 10.7.3 as well.  Where can I download the drivers?

Follow this link for the drivers:

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=219&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=41103...

 

Make sure Mac OS X is selected and if you are looking to only download the drivers, select Driver - Product Installation Software (1), expanding it, and follow the instructions. Post back if you have any issues!

I'm having the same problem under OS 7.3.  Can someone please post the correct solution here?  I just bought this printer, I was expecting better tech support.

Problem solved. Here's the answer:

 

http://mactheblog.com/index.php/component/content/article/46-help/186-how-to-install-an-hp-laserjet-...

 

Amazing that hp apparently doesn't know about Bonjour on macs.  That I was naive enough to expect HP to know how to set up their own software on the current Mac OS.  That I wasted 20 minutes creating a login and posting on this site.

 

Well, maybe it's not too late to help the student who had to hand in his work above.  No USB cable required.  No clicking on configs.  Just follow the steps on mactheblog link above.  Then it works.
