HP 1102w on OS X 10.7 Lion - no wifi support?

Hi there.


We bought the Hewlett Packart P1102w today cause it was listed as a certified Mac Printer in the Internet.

The Printer works fine with USB but it does not work on WIFI. I checked the HP webpage and there is an issue, that it does not work with Lion.

I have to do the HTML Settings on the Printer and a red window opens with an error.


This is the Error:


This page contains the following errors:


error on line 6 at column 47: Entity 'nbsp' not defined

error on line 12 at column 8: Opening and ending tag mismatch: link line 0 and head


Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

So what is the solution for this problem.

I really want to print ONLY WIFI and not with the USB.

Can you please tell me where the problem is, cause others in different boards made it work somehow.....



Thank you in advance.

Awesome, Maurice's detailed instructions worked perfectly.


The main issue I had which was not covered by his instructions was that my printer wasn't showing as an ad-hoc device. It turns out that it had previously been configured for another network.


The solution was to reset the printer to factory settings: power on the printer and immediately hold the X and WiFi buttons for 10-15 seconds. Release the buttons and wait a few seconds and then turn on WiFi back on.


After that, following Maurice's steps worked flawlessly. Though I did not have to enter the IP manually (Step 4) - the Print & Scan system preference panel was able to add the printer as a "Nearby Printer" when I was connected to it via the ad-hoc wifi connection, and from there, the printer utility allowed me to open the configuration web page.


Thanks!

Maurice, I'm currently using this printer with a MacBook Air and an iMac on the same network. Both worked just fine with the printer (on WiFi) until a couple of weeks ago, and then the iMac stopped printing. It finds the printer with AirPrint, I set it as the default printer, it has a green button and appears to be just fine. But then when I try to print something, nothing happens and I go back to preferences and it's now a yellow button with "In Use, Default" but nothing ever happens. The printer is turned on and is still working with the other Mac. Any ideas? Thanks!
