Re: Hp Laserjet P1102 Windows 10 Driver
Arnau Cyr
I have problems installing the driver, then I follow advice in this forum from other posts having similar problems the the hplip-plugin is able to detect the correct model of my printer and it does download the driver (it complains that it cannot get the key to validate the install) it says success and then reports failure. Of course I am still not able to use the printer.
thanks for the link but i discovered that the problem was that the printer was not even recognised even in windows, I got a new pc and assumed it worked because it used to work with my 7 year old imac. I had issues with the printer not being recognised the first time i turned it on on a boot , I thought it was my imac, by my new pc shows that there is something wrong with the printer itself on hardware level. In any case i hooked it back to my iMac which now i gave to my father. Thank you all for you assistance
My HP Laserjet P1102w used to work fine with OS X10.10. Then it started saying "The disk you inserted is not readable by this computer" whenever I switched it on, but the printer still worked. This morning it didn't. I uninstalled the printer, but can't re-install it - it isn't listed when I click "+". I have tried a different USB cable, and a different USB port - same message. The HP website does not provide a downloadable driver, as far as I can see. What do I do? (The wireless connection to the printer stopped working ages ago. The printer still works with our two PCs via USB.)
I found that Sam Katz1 was correct that wifi had to be off for it to work with usb, but that even when the wifi light was off, I still saw the printer broadcasting on wifi and still I got the error when plugging in the usb cable.
I'm having the same problem with my hp ljp1102w printer. I repaired permissions via terminal. I rebooted in Windows and updated the firmware. I looked everywhere while I was in Windows for the setting to turn off the Smart Install software and could not find it. Then when booted up in the Mac OS, I downloaded and installed the latest hp drivers from Apple. I was able to print fine! Then after doing a needed restart, I'm getting the same "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." AGAIN. Your second link at hp showing how to turn off the Smart Install software no longer works. Can you tell me where to find that, for when I boot up in Windows again? I think that will solve my problem. I sure can't keep reinstalling the printer drivers every time I restart my computer.
You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is marked solved and is a couple of years old, less people are likely to look at it. A new post would be much more visible. You can link to this one.
Go to Finder, hold the Shift Key (Sierra) (Option key on older OS) whilst on the GO menu and then select Library/ Printers. Download my driver file from here: HP LaserJet Professional P1102.app.zip - Google Drive
Right there with ya. Making it even worse for me: Sometimes the sequence of hard resetting printer, etc. will work. Other times, I will follow EXACT SAME SEQUENCE and it won't. A few months ago, I was about to click "buy" on a new printer in my cart, but tried one last time and voila, HP LaserJet P1102w was working again. It worked fine for months - never saw the "this disk is not readable" message. Back to being a reliable, simple printer. The other day, it ran out of paper mid-print. That set off the whole cycle all over again. Tried all the usual fixes and Googled new ones - nothing.
According to an ASC member who claims to work for HP, this issue can be resolved by repairing the permissions of the startup volume in Disk Utility. I can't confirm, but it has apparently worked in at least one case. It has also reportedly been resolved by starting the computer in safe mode with the printer disconnected.
If the same persist, a such may also happen due to a conflict with the HP Smart Install feature which is Windows Based only and being wrongly read by the Mac, in order to resolve a such a Windows based PC will be required. any laptop should meet the purpose, the printer will be installed automatically by connecting the USB.
Please set the log level to debug, try to print something, and then post the entire contents of the CUPS log (generally stored in /var/log/cups/error_log). This will include additional information on the filter failure, including what program crashed, and possibly what messages it printed. For background information, see -driver.html.
Notice that the version number in the error is "Plugin version[3.16.7]" which does not match the output from the query. On the other hand, the version numbers of hplip and hplip-plugin don't match each other.
Thanks for continuing on on this problem. I appreciate it very much. For each of your responses, I read the output and try to understand it. As a result, my replies take a while. At any rate, here is the output that you suggested looking at.
To me, there seem to be multiple problems revealed in these, though perhaps they all have the same source... no idea what that might be though.
If it comes to it, I would be quite happy to remove CUPS, hplip & hplip-plugin and start all over again. But I'm pretty sure this would not really help much as I have already tried it on another installation of Arch on the same machine with no success.
The easiest thing to do at this point might be to just uninstall hplip-plugin, remove /var/lib/hp/, and reinstall the package. I'm a bit surprised that /var/lib/hp/hplip.state is a backup file, but I believe that would prevent it from overriding the existing hplip.state file, which probably came from using hp-plugin. It seems mixing the two isn't a good idea...
If I am correct, /var/lib/hp/hplip.state.pacnew will exist (created by pacman when installing the hplip-plugin package to avoid overriding the existing file); you might not have seen the warning when installing the package. Copying that over /var/lib/hp/hplip.state should at least correct the installed plugin version. The GID difference is probably harmless, but I'd fix that at the same time.
However, I still can't get the printer to print. The state message is 'stopped "Filter Failed". Actually, I ran into this problem right at the outset of this problem and I think I screwed things up even further as I tried out various remedies from my searches on that phrase, including those on the CUPS/Troubleshooting wiki.
Not sure where to go from here. I don't mind removing CUPS, hplip, hplip-plugin and starting again but I need to know what files and directories I should also remove. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. I think maybe a left over file or directory was the cause of the most recent problem (unmatched versions).
I also wonder if I am installing the wrong ppd file, since when I install the printer from CUPS I can see what look like 8 different ppd files with some variation of 'HP Laserjet P1120w' in the title.
You should be using the hplip PPD, not the hpijs PPD. See also [ ].
There appears to be a duplicated driver PPD (with and without an extra underscore!), but a quick diff suggests that it shouldn't matter which one you pick.
Removing everything and starting again seems a bit drastic. If you take a look at the contents of the log, it should tell you what filter failed, and possibly why. The journald log for the service may also contain messages from the failure, hopefully enough to debug your problem.
I always used it with a USB cable because you pretty much need to set up networking for that printer using tools in Windows. It appears that you are using a network link to talk to the printer at 192.168.1.88.
Are you on the 192.168.1.0/24 network? Is the printer? Can you use a tool like nmap to prove that?
What if you try a USB connection?

In the case of systemctl status org.cups.cupsd.service, I had to start it. For some reason, that seems occasionally not start even though I have it enabled.
At any rate this was the state before I tried the print job
Good, that is what I figured and what I was using.
I hope I have provided everything you asked for. If not, please let me know.
I'm getting screen fatigue and find I am making lots of typos.
It's been a while since I set mine up, but I believe that you have to use a hp:/ URI. You can generate one using hp-makeuri.
I note that this doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere on the wiki, so I could be wrong - or it might be an oversight.
You are using a dnssd URI, which doesn't seem to be working. Have you set up Avahi and .local hostname resolution?
Why did you swap - you were using a socket URI earlier (socket://192.168.1.88)?
You've posted the output of nmap 192.168.1.1/24, but it doesn't include the printer. I'm not that familiar with networking, so I can only suggest that the printer was perhaps not turned on?
