To set up your HP printer using 123.hp.com, follow these steps:
1. **Go to the official website 123.hp.com** on your computer or mobile device. This is HP’s official printer setup site[3].
2. **Power on your HP printer** and make sure it is in a ready state.
3. **Download and install the HP Smart app** from the website or your device’s app store (HP Smart is available for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS). For example, on Android, you can get it via Google Play[4].
4. **Open HP Smart and follow the on-screen instructions** to connect your printer to your Wi-Fi network. Both your printer and device should be on the same Wi-Fi network, preferably 2.4 GHz band for compatibility[2].
5. If you encounter connectivity issues or setup errors, verify your network type (home/private vs. public) and try restoring Wi-Fi setup mode on the printer or updating the printer firmware as recommended by HP support[2].
6. **Avoid scam websites:** Only use the official 123.hp.com site and be cautious of fake sites asking you to call support numbers or grant remote access, as these have been reported scams[1].
This procedure ensures your printer is correctly connected and ready for use, including features like instant ink and remote printing via HP Smart.
If you experience persistent problems, consult the HP Support site for troubleshooting or contact official HP customer support directly.
