Positioning
HP Laser Printer this model belongs to printing solutions entry level... First of all, this is indicated by a fairly democratic cost. But additional arguments in this case are the average quality of the output documents and minimal set ways to connect. Also, this positioning of this product is indicated by the fact that its monthly page yield does not exceed 5000 pages. As a result, this peripheral solution is perfect for creating a printing subsystem in a small office with no more than 10. It can also be used quite successfully in working group with the same number of PCs. Another possible area of its use is home. In all other cases, this laser printer must be supplemented by another printing device for the reason that its monthly print volume will certainly not be enough.

Technical specifications
The HP P1102's specifications are solid enough for an entry-level laser printing solution. As noted earlier, it is based on the laser method of obtaining prints. Therefore, the print quality in this case is quite low, but it is more than enough for output text information, tables and diagrams. You can also count on getting pictures of mediocre quality. On the plus side this method printing can be attributed to a large volume of printing for 30 days - about 5000 pages for the HP P1102, and speed - 18 pages in one-sided version within a minute. Additionally, it should be noted that the costs of expendable materials and accessories in this case are minimal. Maximum size pages for printing - 210x297, or the most widespread at the moment A4 format. In addition to this, it is possible to print on pages of any size: setting up the printer it can be done properly without any problems.The density of the printing paper should be between 60 and 160g / m2 2 ... Connection method in this case one -USB 2.0,however, other compatible modifications of this universal interface can be used for these purposes.

Outcomes
In this material, the installation of the HP LaserJet P1102 printer was described. There is nothing super complicated in the above algorithm, and such an operation can be done by every user of a personal computer.
Hey! Continuing the topic of printers. Today, the next step is to set up Wi-Fi printing on the HP LaserJet P1102w. The device does not have an LCD screen, so all operations are performed on a computer. The work is not difficult, it does not take much time. It is important to know the setting of the device and strictly follow the sequence of actions.
Shells of different Windows versions differ from each other, but the procedure itself is the same for all series.
Preparation for work
Before configuring the HP LaserJet P1102w printer over WiFi, it must be prepared for use. This is especially true for new devices that were only recently brought from the store. The device has many shipping straps and inserts that must be removed first.
There is a cardboard insert under the top cover, which we must take out. There is also a polymer seal for fixing the cartridge. We remove the bright sticky tapes from the drum, then insert it back so that the contacts are tightly pressed against each other.
We connect the electric cable and the USB cable to the corresponding connectors, which are located on the back of the device. The HP P1102w is now Wi-Fi ready. All parameters are set in the software window.
Full instructions are also included in the following video:
Driver Installation
For correct setting HP LaserJet Professional, P1102w and others via Wi-Fi, you need to install the driver. It usually comes with the device on a CD-ROM. However, it is not always compatible with a specific user's operating system. The manufacturer writes this information on the cover of the media.
A working version is also available on the manufacturer's website. You can always download here latest version drivers with updates and modifications by developers.
The manufacturer uploads drivers and software with a grouping by operating systems... You just need to specify your operating system in the selection field, and they are ready to download. The release date of the software is shown next to the link. You should not install beta versions of the product, as they are test versions and are being tested. They may contain bugs and may not work properly.
Before connecting the HP LaserJet P1102w via Wi-Fi, you need to configure its settings by USB cable... In the future, it will not be needed and should be put back in the box. It is only needed so that the computer and the printer can exchange information and see each other on the network in the future.
Launch the downloaded software and press the button Next / Next.
The settings wizard will prompt you to choose the installation option: "easy" and "advanced". The latter method allows you to change the parameters, but it is preferable to leave the characteristics recommended by the manufacturer.
If the driver is universal and is designed to work with several printers, then the wizard will offer to find the model of your device in a separate window. Select and press the Next button.
In the next window, the system will ask you to specify the type of connection between the computer and the printer. There are three options in the list:
- wireless network;
- USB cable;
- connection with the added Wi-Fi printer.
We turn on the printer, select the cable connection, click the "Next" button. As soon as the devices see each other, the wizard will start copying the driver files to system folder and its installation.
Setting up a wireless connection
If suddenly something does not work out, write in the comments or online chat. Let's try to figure it out together!
You can connect HP LaserJet P1102w via Wi-Fi on Windows 10 or more earlier versions after using the module wireless connection... Management is carried out in the "Network Connections" folder.
Before configuring an HP LaserJet PRO, P1102w, M104w (or other devices of this brand) over Wi-Fi, the printer needs to find wireless access points. The system offers automatic and manual search. For ordinary users the first option is preferable, since the master will find the radio module himself.
However, this operation does not always end with success, so sometimes you have to enter the SSID in the search bar. To do this, you need to specify "Manual search" in the settings wizard window.
As soon as the network is found, all information about it will appear. By default, a secure WPA / WPA2 connection is always used. You need to know the password to connect. You can find it out in the router settings. Its length is between 8 and 63 characters. We enter it and press the "Next" button again.
During the search and connection, the blue LED on the case flashes. After establishing connection with the point, the blinking stops, it lights up with a constant light. From the settings menu we send "Print a test page", disconnect the USB cable. Further interaction between the printer and the computer occurs via Wi-Fi.
WPS
There is one more way, the simplest one. The condition is the presence of a WPS button on the router (it is not available on all models, sometimes it is combined with RESET). If there is a treasured key, connecting the printer to Wi-Fi takes place in a couple of steps:
- press the button with the Wi-Fi icon on the printing device;
- press WPS on the router.
After a while, the printer will connect to the router. You can start working.
Reset
In some situations, it is useful to know how to reset the settings. This is necessary if the device was configured incorrectly or connected to a different wireless network.
What are we doing:
- turn on the printer (you do not need to connect to a PC);
- find 2 buttons on the panel - with an antenna and a cross;
- hold down both keys and hold for half a minute.
You need to wait until the green and orange lights start blinking. Are they blinking? Everything, the parameters are reset, you can start setting up.
Conclusion
Setting procedure wireless communication between the two devices is not difficult. When connecting, remember that the range of devices decreases with an increase in the number of obstacles, such as walls.
