Thank you for reading this.
I went ahead and bought the HP laser pro 100 printer; it arrived this
afternoon.
I have set the printer up using hp-setup as a USB printer and an
Ethernet printer but I cannot get the printer working on my wireless
network.
The instructions for Windows are:
Press the WPS button on the router.
Then press the wireless button on the printer and wait 2 minutes.
After two minutes I'm informed that the connection has failed.
I get much the same result using hp-wificonfig, except for a dialog that
reads "Unable to locate wireless hardware on device." A blue LED on the
printer blinks to show that the wireless device is turned on and a menu
item confirms that as well.
I also tried the same under Windows, just in case, and the connection
still fails.
Can anyone shed some light on the method that I should use to get the
printer working on a wireless network?
