When I follow the steps to install my Laserjet P1102W on a MacBook Pro I can enter the IP name of the printer (NPI0272BB) when I select IP. It starts to look for a driver, but here it stops. I can choose Automatic Selection but this leads to nothing. When I select Manual I can choose 'P1100w, 6.9', which seems to be close to what I need, I think. After double clicking it starts with: Configuring NPI0272BB. After a while I get: No connection possible because of an error.

Do you still want to install the printer? When I click Go on, the printer is installed. But it refuses to print. It shows Couldn't open fifo (2).

Filed in Easy to use and install: - Set up fast, without a CD, using HP Smart Install for Windows and a USB print cable - Reduce cable clutter: network the printer via 802.11b/g wireless networking - Monitor print status on the front-panel, on-screen display.

And now the miracle: On my MacBook Air (same network) it works fine. What do I do wrong? Hi, Welcome back to the HP Support Forums!
