I have an older HP P1102W wireless laser printer.
It's got an annoying problem.
The wireless worked great for the first two years. Then we switched internet providers and the new internet router had a different ip subnetting scheme.
192.168.0.X vs 192.168.1.X
Ever since then, the stupid printer has become a nightmare. Every time we try to print something, the printer is off line.
I've tried everything - - including a factory reset & even buying a brand new laptop to do the initial setup of the printer, after a factory reset.
Every time - same old same old - the printer is offline when we try to print to it.
The only solution is to power off the printer, power it back on, use a browser to go to it's 192.168.X.X web interface, clear out any print jobs & recycle the power a second time.
Oh yeah,,,,and deal with my wife who can't understand/accept the fact that printing to the laser printer si a 10 to 15 minute task...
Anyhow - I'm both at my wits end & nearly out of toner.
A new toner cartridge is going to run about $70 - give or take.
I can get a brand new low end wireless laser for about the same amount - - or less - - and be done with the irritation...no doubt the new one will come with it's own set of irritations, but, at least they will be a change...
I hate to pitch an otherwise good machine, but,,,,it's part of the wold of computers where nothing works and tossing it is the only real fix.
