To connect your HP printer to WiFi, follow these common and effective methods:

**1. Using the HP Smart App (Recommended for most users):**

– Make sure your printer is powered on and loaded with paper.
– Connect your phone or computer to the WiFi network you want the printer to join.
– Download and install the *HP Smart* app on your computer or mobile device.
– Open the app, sign in or create an HP account.
– The app should detect your printer automatically. If not, add it manually by tapping the “+” sign.
– Navigate to **Settings** > **Printer Settings** > **Network Setup**.
– Select your WiFi network, enter the password, and tap **Connect**.
– Your printer will then connect to your WiFi network and be ready to print wirelessly[1].

**2. Using the Printer Control Panel (for touchscreen or non-touchscreen models):**

– Place your printer close to the router.
– For touchscreen printers, go to the **Wireless Setup Wizard** from the printer’s control panel or network menu.
– Select your WiFi network from the list, enter the password, and connect.
– For non-touchscreen printers, press the wireless button (usually with a WiFi icon) until it blinks, then follow prompts if available or use WPS for easy connection[4][3].

**3. Using WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) if your router supports it:**

– Place the printer near the router.
– Press and hold the printer’s wireless button until the light blinks.
– Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your router.
– The printer should connect to the network automatically without needing a password[4][3].

**Additional tips:**

– Ensure the printer and the device you’re printing from are on the same WiFi network.
– Check for a confirmation or print a test page from the printer after connection.
– If you encounter problems, restarting your printer, router, and device can help.
– You can also assign a static IP to your printer via the printer’s network settings if needed for more reliable printing[3].

These methods cover most HP printer models and provide flexibility depending on your printer’s features and your router’s capabilities[1][2][3][4].
