hp laserjet p1102w HP Laserjet Pro P1102w Wireless Connectivity Problem

[Hell-In-A-Handbasket]

putting this here for Future reference and in case others are/will have the same issue as well as a possible fix ( it worked for me )

Problem:

when trying to setup the printer on a wireless network ( from changing router, SSID Password, bla bla ), presented with the following error

" printer was unable to communicate with any wireless router or AP Point "

Solution :

back out of the configuration screen until presented with the following options

Automatically scan

Manually input Wireless Credentials

at the bottom there is a link to connect to the Products Internal Web site ( this is the Printers built in web server

toward the bottom you will see an area with Currently connected SSID, and Avaliable SSID's ( in my case because i was switching Routers, w same SSID but Different PW it was already there. )

select or type in whatever your SSID is, and below that you will see a drop down box with security type and Password.

Delete whatever PW is there and put in correct PW.

Reason Theory:

for some reason it seems that the printer will keep trying to use the Previous SSID PW regardless if you put Manual or not if it is an SSID " NAME " that you have connected to before. ( can be different routers, but if its the same SSID name ) and have to manually change it to get it to connect

(example, i Had an Linksys router with SSID of " Dromund Kaas " and tonight got a EA4500, set it up with the same SSID but diffrent PW. the printer would not connect no mater what i did. created a new SSID name and it connected fine. tried to redo the Dromund Kaas SSID and wouldn't connect. went to the Manual page and changed the PW in the field, and it connected fine )
