Solving general wireless networking problems

For most wireless printing problems, the first step is to try printing a configuration page. To
print a configuration page
, when the printer is in the Ready state, press and hold the

G

O

button until the Ready light starts blinking. For more information, see

Configuration page

.

If the 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 1022 Series Printer User Guide.

If the 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.

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

.

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

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