Solving general wireless networking problems

For most wireless printing problems, the first step is to try printing a network configuration page.
To print a configuration page, when the printer is in the Ready state, press and hold the Go
button for 5 seconds. For more information, see

Network configuration page

.

If the network configuration page does not print, verify the following:

Printer is set up and powered on

Print cartridges are installed correctly

Printer is on and the paper tray is loaded

Printer is free of paper jams

Network connections are secure

Cable connections are secure

Printer covers are closed

If any of the above are problems, see the HP LaserJet 1160 and HP LaserJet 1320 Series Printer
User Guide
.

If the network configuration page does print, you can begin to solve the problem by checking the
Wireless light, as described below.

Check the wireless light

Look at the printer's Wireless light. If the Wireless light is off, wireless networking has been
disabled. Verify the printer’s network settings match the network settings (see

Printer has the

wrong wireless network settings

.) Then, verify the following:

An Ethernet cable is not connected to the printer. Connecting an Ethernet cable to the printer
automatically turns off the wireless radio. Unplug the cable.

The system administrator, or someone else on the network, has not disabled the radio, using
the EWS.

If the Wireless light is on, try reprinting the document, then look at the printer's Ready light.

If the Ready light is flashing, the printer’s wireless communications feature is working correctly.

If the Wireless light is on steadily, the wireless radio is functioning, but the printer and the
computer cannot communicate.

The printer's network settings do not match the settings for your network. See

Printer has the

wrong wireless network settings

.

The computer might be set to the wrong wireless profile. See

Computer's wireless card is set

to the wrong wireless profile

.

A personal software firewall might block communication between the printer and the
computer. See

Radio signal is weak
