how can i connect my hp printer to wifi

You can connect your HP printer to Wi-Fi using several methods, the most common being the **Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) push button method** or the **HP Smart App method**:

1. **WPS Push Button Method** (If your printer and router support it):
– Place your printer near the Wi-Fi router.
– Press and hold the Wireless button on the printer until the wireless light blinks.
– Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your router until its light blinks.
– Wait for the printer to connect to the router (wireless light stops blinking or a message appears).
– Once connected, install HP printer software on your device to print[1][4].

2. **Using HP Smart App** (for printers without WPS or if you prefer app connectivity):
– Ensure the printer is on and the Wi-Fi light is blinking (or press and hold Wi-Fi and Cancel buttons until the Wi-Fi light blinks).
– Open the HP Smart App on your phone or computer.
– Add the printer via the app and select your Wi-Fi network.
– Enter the Wi-Fi password when prompted.
– Confirm connection by pressing information button on the printer as instructed.
– The Wi-Fi light should stop blinking, indicating successful connection[3][5].

3. **Wireless Setup Wizard on Printer Control Panel** (for touchscreen or menu-equipped printers):
– Use the printer’s wireless or network settings menu.
– Select your Wi-Fi network from the list.
– Enter the password using the touchscreen keypad.
– Confirm connection once the wireless indicator shows connection[4].

**Additional Tips:**
– Place your printer within range of your Wi-Fi router.
– Make sure you have your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password handy.
– After connection, always print a test page to ensure connectivity[2].

These methods cover most HP printers’ Wi-Fi setup processes. If your model has specific features, consult its manual or HP’s support site for detailed instructions.
