Wireless setup LaserJet Pro cp1025nw MAC OS 10.8

[CA-Chapin]

I have a brand new HP LaserJet Pro CP1025nw color printer, an iMAC running OS 10.8, an iPad, and iPhone. 

I configured the printer fine using the iMAC’s USB port.  I can print fine from the computer but I cannot from my iDevices.  I understand I can no longer use the CD that came with the printer nor the latest download from HP to configure the wireless or install the new firmware because I get the “HP Installer’ can’t opened because it …..” error.  So, I have three  questions   1. How do I setup the wireless on the HP printer using my iMac running 10.8., 2. how do I enable Apple AirPrint,  and 3. How do I install the latest firmware (ver 20120130) in my  printer using MAC OS 10.8.  Your help would be great.

I found the Airprint answer.. Apple's AirPrint provides basic printing functionality for AirPrint-enabled HP printers that are connected to a wireless or wired (Ethernet) network.   No additional software is downloaded when you add an AirPrint-enabled printer in Mountain Lion. AirPrint is not available if the printer connects to the Mac, an AirPort Base Station, or a Time Capsule with a USB cable.  I still need the wireless  configuration and firmware installation....

None of the options that I found in the HP forums allowed me to configure my printer wireless using MAC OS 10.8. I was force to borrow a laptop running windows 7.  I connected it to the wireless, used the disk that came with the printer to install it to the network, downloaded the firm upgrade and installed it. All my apple computers and iDevices see the printer. It works like a charm.

Hello, I too was having this issue. However, I was able to extract the HP Utility to make the HP LaserJet CP1025nw work on 10.8 or higher and have it print via AirPrint. 

I have the extracted HP Utility, which seems to work flawlessly as of now if i could send it to those who need it, perhaps give it a whirl and see if it works! 

Just message me here!

Having the exact same problem. Can you send me the extracted utility? Can't set up the 1025nw without it. Thanks!

Yes, I'd love the extracted utility, too!

Hello

I see that yous are having issue setting up the cp1025nw on the 10.8.

You can configure the printer on the wireless network through ethernet cable without any software.

Restore the printer back to factory settings if not already setup on the network from another computer.

Connect the network cable to the product and to the router. (temporary)

Wait about 1 minute and then print a configuration page.
(select operating system then select Method one.)
http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02495036

Use the ip address from the configuration page and type it in the address bar of browser (internet explorer, safarari)

This will open the embedded web server for the printer.
Select the networking tab, select wireless on the left side, set it to infrastructure and put in encrytian
(network passwords) apply then remove the ethernet cable from the printer.

Should have a solid blue light in about 1 minute.

Then on the mac just add the printer with the airprint driver.

Click on the Apple, click System & Preferences, and then click the Print & Scan icon,click add a printer, then select the printer from the list, make sure the name listed beside use: shows airprint, select add.

Test the printer on the wireless now.

Let me know how this turns out.

The solution turned out to be not to use Airprint to configure wireless printing, but to use the HP driver, which was the other option.

none of this worked because my ip address is 0.0.0.0
