1102w
macOS 10.13 High Sierra

I have the 1102w printer, and an iMac computer. 

I found a video to configure my Mac so I can print from my iPhone and iPad, but I can’t find that video anymore. 

I recently changed my wifi password, and then I couldn’t wirelessly print anymore. 

I found a way to get back to the HTML configuration page, and thought I was changing the correct password.

well, I screwed everything up. 

If anybody can help me start fresh and get everything back, that would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks

Connect the printer to a wireless network with WPS

  1. Make sure your router has a WPS button or a button with the WPS icon .

    • If the router has a WPS button, do not press the button yet. Continue to the next step.

    • If the router does not have a WPS button, skip to the frequently asked questions in this document for options.

  2. Place the printer within range of the Wi-Fi router signal.

  3. Press and hold the Wireless  button for five seconds until the wireless light flashes.

  4. Within two minutes, press and hold the WPS button on the router for three to five seconds, or until the connection process begins.

  5. Return to the printer and check the status of the wireless light or bar.

    • If the light or blue bar stops flashing, the printer successfully connected to the network. Continue to the next step.

    • If the light is still flashing or turned off, the connection failed. Move the printer closer to the router, and then repeat these steps. If the connection still fails, continue to the frequently asked questions in this document.

  6. Make sure your MAC is on the same local wireless network you connected the printer to.

Note: If you do not have a WPS button on the router, follow this document to connect the printer using a USB cable and then convert it to wireless.
