how to set up wireless printing on hp printer

To set up wireless printing on an HP printer, you typically need to connect the printer to your Wi-Fi network using one of these common methods:

1. **Wireless Setup Wizard on the Printer (if it has a display):**
– On the printer’s control panel, go to **Setup** or **Network Settings**.
– Select **Wireless Setup Wizard**.
– Choose your Wi-Fi network from the list.
– Enter your Wi-Fi password.
– Wait for the confirmation that the printer is connected to the network[1][5].

2. **Using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) if your router supports it:**
– Press the WPS button on your Wi-Fi router.
– Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your HP printer.
– The printer will automatically connect to the Wi-Fi network, indicated by a solid Wi-Fi light[1].

3. **Using the HP Smart App (from a computer or mobile device):**
– Ensure your printer is powered on and your device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
– Download and launch the **HP Smart app** on your computer or phone.
– Add your printer by tapping the “+” sign if it is not found automatically.
– Go to **Printer Settings > Network Setup** within the app.
– Select your Wi-Fi network and enter the password.
– Tap **Connect** to establish the wireless connection[2][3].

4. **USB Setup Method (for printers without a screen):**
– Connect the printer to your computer with a USB cable.
– Install the HP printer software or HP Smart app.
– Use the software to configure the wireless settings.
– Disconnect the USB cable after setup completes[1].

**Additional recommendations:**
– Ensure the printer is within range of your Wi-Fi router’s signal.
– Use a 2.4 GHz network frequency as many printers do not support 5 GHz.
– Keep your network name (SSID) and password handy for the setup process[1].

These methods cover most HP wireless printers. Refer to your specific model’s manual or HP support website for model-specific instructions or troubleshooting.
