To set up Wi-Fi on your HP Envy Pro 6452 printer, follow these steps:
1. **Install Printer Drivers and Software:** Download and install the latest HP drivers and software on your computer from the official HP website or use the HP Smart app on your smartphone for easier setup[1][2].
2. **Connect the Printer to Wi-Fi:**
– **Using Wi-Fi Direct:** Connect directly through your computer’s Wi-Fi network by selecting the printer’s Wi-Fi Direct name and entering the password (if prompted)[1].
– **Using WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup):** If your router supports it, press the WPS button on your router, then press the corresponding wireless button on the printer within 2 minutes to establish a connection automatically[1][3].
– **Manual Wi-Fi Setup via Control Panel:** On the printer’s touchscreen or control panel, access wireless settings to select your Wi-Fi network and enter your Wi-Fi password[3].
3. **Set the Printer as Default:** On your computer, open the control panel or printer settings, choose the HP Envy Pro 6452, and set it as the default printer[1].
4. **Troubleshooting Tips if Connection Fails:**
– Confirm you enter the correct Wi-Fi SSID and password[3].
– Restart your printer and router to reset any network glitches[3][4].
– Move the printer closer to the router to improve signal strength[3].
– Reset the printer’s network settings to factory defaults and try again[3].
– Ensure your printer firmware is updated to the latest version via HP support[3].
If after these steps the printer still won’t connect, you can temporarily use a wired Ethernet connection or consult HP Support for further assistance[3].
This workflow covers the standard setup process with both direct Wi-Fi and WPS methods, ensuring your HP Envy Pro 6452 is connected wirelessly and ready for printing[1][2][3].
