  • Make sure the HP LaserJet P1102w is turned on and properly connected via USB or Wi-Fi.
  • If connected via USB, try a different USB port.
  • If using Wi-Fi, check if the printer is connected to the same network as your PC.

 

2. Remove & Reinstall the Printer Manually

Remove the Printer:

  • Go to Control Panel → Devices and Printers.
  • Right-click on HP LaserJet P1102w and select Remove Device.
  • Restart your PC.

Reinstall the Printer:

  • Open Settings → Bluetooth & Devices → Printers & Scanners.
  • Click Add a printer or scanner and let Windows detect it.
  • If not detected, click "The printer that I want isn't listed" and follow the manual installation steps.

 

3. Manually Download and Install the Driver

  • Go to HP’s official website: HP Support
