HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Wireless Laser Printer (CE658A)

After reading all the reviews both pro and con about installing this printer on a MAC I went ahead and bought it anyway. And I did get it to work properly (wireless) the first time on MAC OS 10.7.5. (The USB worked easily also although we no longer use the printer on USB.) Only the first installation was difficult. We have several MACs installed at this location all of which reach their printers over wireless. The other printers all saw the printer and connected flawlessly. So I like this printer for it's cost, size and operating efficiency. Good, low-end B/W laser! Follow these installations instructions which I found on the Apple site. They work! The wireless configuration proccess is the same on Mac OS X 10.7 as for Snow Leopard. Before configuring the wireless connection, make sure to install the latest Software version using USB first. Any previous version will appear differently and will not work on Lion: [...] Follow these steps to change to a wireless network in Mac OS X v10.6 and v10.7.

I did a lot of research before settling on this printer for light home use. I did note that some people had to go through a lot of steps to get successfully connected at home, but others chirped cheerfully about how easy the set up was. Don't believe it!! If you are a normal person, somewhat technically literate, but looking for a printer that only takes a couple of clearly described steps to set up, forget about this one. I would've paid twice as much for an easier install. I bought this weeks ago and, yes, I am a person who reads directions and can follow them, but when I came to about the third step in the process the "Easy Install" screen did not pop-up as described. In fact, I have never seen it, weeks later. By hook or by crook, I finally got the thing working, fitfully. Sometimes it was off and wouldn't automatically start; other times it just refused to connect. Then, horrors, I tried to connect a second laptop. Well, that was the end of everything except my frustration. It stopped responding. A week later, my brother-in-law, an engineer and a technically savvy person who uses every piece of technology known to humankind, came by and I begged him to help fix the system. It took him two hours to go through the process again and again, finally discovering that two laptops can't be connected to the machine at the same time. Ok, that I can deal with. Too bad about the much-ballyhooed "print from your Android phone or tablet!!" My bad. He eventually got the thing working that night. He left. A couple of days later I wanted to print something. It doesn't work. My wireless signal is strong, the printer is on and the lights indicate it is ready, but the document does not print. Apparently the printer is not responding. I could throw the thing through the window except that I spent additional money buying extra toner cartridges, so I'm invested in more than the printer. I have read through many, many reviews and posts now and have spent hours on the HP support forum. It looks like hundreds of people say that this is a hard installation with many obstacles and little to support users. Written instructions do not match what many see as they attempt installation. There are lots of posts that give you work-arounds but every one is different. Push these two buttons at the same time...unplug it...reinstall...make sure this light flashes three times...stand on your head. Tried lots of them and, no go. I wish I'd bought a Brother. I hate to add to the cost by hiring some pimply-faced kid to come do the installation, but I may have to do that. And that will really ensure my unhappiness with this product.

I purchased this printer to replace my inkjet. I got tired of paying way too much for ink so, when the print head needed replacing, I junked it and purchased the HP from Amazon. It was delivered on time with no hassles. Setup was uneventful. The picture instructions are easy to understand and follow. When I connected the USB cable and powered up, it connected itself. I'm not using the wireless connection because it's sitting right next to my computer and a simple USB cable is foolproof. The only irritating thing is the 'auto off' feature. After 4 hours of non-use, the printer switches itself all the way off. Not just sleeping, all the way off. So, when I want to print something, I have to push the switch to turn it on. It comes to life in about ten seconds and re-connects to the USB port in another five. I suppose it's saving me electricity but, if I forget to hit the button, my printing stalls without some popup to tell me why. Not a big deal, but a quirk. So far I've printed about a hundred pages without a hitch. This is a good, economical printer which gives me excellent hardcopy for a good price.

La mejor opción, cuando lo que buscas es un trabajo de impresión sencillo pero profesional, la configuración simple, los consumibles económicos y la calidad muy buena.

I purchased this printer about 3 weeks ago. I am operating it wirelessly. So far I am very pleased with the whole experience. It arrived in 4 days. Although I am not a technophile, I was able to set it up without too much frustration. YouTube videos really helped! Very pleased with the compact size of the unit and it hardly takes up any room on my desk. The unit has a lovely, modern black finish which matches other computer equipment. I am delighted by the extensive online backup that HP provides for their equipment. Since it is a new purchase, I cannot comment upon the reliability. In any case, it was costing me a small fortune to keep my inkjet printers supplied with ink. This printer cost a little over $100 which is an incredible price!

Realiza muy bien su trabajo, imprime rápido y puedes conseguir los cartuchos de tóner compatibles, lo que hace que puedas ahorrar en impresiones. Su tamaño es compacto, por lo que ajusta en cualquier lugar. La función de impresión inalámbrica facilita mucho las cosas, y por su costo se vuelve ideal si buscas algo práctico y funcional.

I'm a computer expert and have no difficulty setting up computer stuff and figuring out how things work. This specific garbage has wasted my time more than 20 hours! HP does not support its products. Since I bought this printer in 2015 HP has changed the WiFi connection so many times. And now the apps just works some times, and you can not count on it. So, I am practically printing with a USB cable! Like 10-15 years ago. Recently one of my friends bought a WiFi printer from another leading brand, Then I saw how it is done! hassle free!
