Need to know if I can just plug in via USB for my LaserJet P1102W?

@Firefly_Print,

 

Welcome to our HP Community Forum!

 

Yes, you can typically connect an HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer to your computer via a USB port. The HP LaserJet Pro P1102w has both USB and wireless connectivity options.

 

Here are the steps to connect it via USB:

 

  1. Make sure your printer is turned on and in a ready state.

  2. Locate the USB cable that came with your printer. If you don't have one, you'll need to purchase a standard USB A-to-B cable, which is commonly used for connecting printers to computers.

  3. Connect one end of the USB cable (the USB A end) to an available USB port on your computer.

  4. Connect the other end of the USB cable (the USB B end) to the USB port on the back of your HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer.

  5. Your computer should automatically detect the printer and may install the necessary drivers. If not, you might need to download and install the printer drivers from the HP website (see: HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer Software and Driver Downloads | HP® Customer Support).

  6. Once the drivers are installed, you should be able to print to your HP LaserJet Pro P1102w via the USB connection.

 

Remember that USB connections are straightforward and reliable for connecting printers to computers. However, if you prefer a wireless connection, the HP LaserJet Pro P1102w also has built-in Wi-Fi capabilities, which allow you to connect it to your wireless network. This enables you to print from multiple devices without the need for a physical USB connection.

Hope this was helpful.

 

Kind Regards,
