To set up the HP DeskJet 4200e printer, start by unboxing the printer, connecting the power cord, and turning it on. Then, install the ink cartridges and load paper into the tray. Next, download and install the HP Smart app on your computer or mobile device. Use this app to connect the printer to your Wi-Fi by putting the printer in wireless mode (usually by pressing and holding the Cancel and Wi-Fi buttons together for a few seconds until the Wi-Fi light blinks). Follow the app instructions to add the printer to your network by selecting the printer, entering your Wi-Fi password, and completing the setup. Once connected, you can print and scan using the app or your device[1][2][3][4].
