To set up your HP printer on a wireless network using the Wireless Setup Wizard, access the printer’s control panel or touchscreen, navigate to the Setup or Network Settings menu, then select “Wireless Setup Wizard.” From there, choose your Wi-Fi network, enter the network password using the printer interface, and wait for the printer to confirm the connection[1][2][3][4].
The detailed steps typically are:
1. Turn on your HP printer.
2. On the printer’s control panel, find and tap the Wireless icon or navigate to Network Settings.
3. Select “Wireless Setup Wizard” or a similar option.
4. The printer will search for available wireless networks; choose your home Wi-Fi network from the list.
5. Enter your Wi-Fi password using the printer’s interface.
6. Wait for the printer to establish the connection and show a confirmation, like a solid wireless light.
If your router supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), you can alternatively press the WPS button on your router and then on the printer within two minutes to connect without entering a password[1].
For printers without a display screen, you can connect via USB to a computer, run the HP software or HP Smart app, and configure wireless settings through the app before disconnecting the USB cable to complete the wireless setup[1][2].
Be sure your printer is within range of your wireless router and that you have your Wi-Fi network name and password handy during setup[1].
