To set up an HP printer wirelessly, you have several common methods:
1. **Using the printer’s control panel Wireless Setup Wizard**: On printers with a screen, go to the setup or network settings menu, select “Wireless Setup Wizard,” choose your Wi-Fi network, and enter the password to connect[2].
2. **WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) method**: If your router and printer support WPS, press the WPS button on the router, then on the printer within two minutes. The printer will connect automatically without needing to enter a password[1][2].
3. **Using the HP Smart app**: Download the HP Smart app on your phone or computer, ensure your device is on the same Wi-Fi network, power on the printer, then add your printer in the app. Follow prompts to connect the printer to Wi-Fi by entering your network password if needed[3].
4. **USB setup method** (for printers without a display): Connect the printer to your computer via USB, use the HP software or app to configure the wireless connection, then disconnect the USB cable once done[2].
After connecting the printer to your Wi-Fi, install the HP printer software on your device to start printing[1][2].
Make sure your printer is within range of the wireless router and that you have the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password handy except when using WPS[2].
These methods cover most HP printer models and wireless setups. If your printer’s control panel differs, consult the printer manual or HP support for model-specific instructions.
