Connecting a Samsung printer to a Wi-Fi network involves several steps. Here’s a general guide:
### **Step 1: Ensure Your Printer Supports Wi-Fi**
– Check your printer’s manual or manufacturer’s website to confirm it supports Wi-Fi connectivity.
### **Step 2: Connect Using WPS**
1. **Press and Hold the WPS Button**: On your printer, press and hold the WPS button for about 2 to 4 seconds until the status LED blinks quickly[1].
2. **Select the Printer on Your Router**: On your router, you will typically see an option to connect a device using WPS. Follow the router’s instructions to complete the connection.
### **Step 3: Connect Manually**
1. **Open the Printer’s Interface**: If your printer has a touchscreen or a display, navigate to the wireless network settings.
2. **Select Your Network**: Choose your Wi-Fi network (SSID) from the list displayed. If you cannot find your network, you may need to enter it manually[1].
3. **Enter Network Password**: If prompted, enter your router’s password to connect to your network[1].
### **Step 4: Use Samsung Easy Wireless Setup**
1. **Install USB Cable**: For some printers, you may need to connect to a PC using a USB cable initially[3].
2. **Download and Run Samsung Easy Wireless Setup**: This software helps you set up the wireless connection. It is available for Windows and Mac.
3. **Follow the On-Screen Instructions**: The software will guide you through connecting your printer to your Wi-Fi network[3].
### **Step 5: Install Printer Drivers**
– After connecting to Wi-Fi, ensure your computer is connected to the same network. Then, install the appropriate printer drivers from Samsung’s website or using the Samsung Easy Printer Manager[2][4].
### **Troubleshooting**
– If the printer was previously connected but no longer works, try resetting its network settings and re-running the wireless setup[4].
– If you’ve changed your router or network settings, ensure your printer is configured to connect to the new network[4].
Ensure you have your router’s SSID and password ready for the connection process. If you encounter issues, refer to your specific printer’s manual or contact Samsung support.
