To connect the **HP DeskJet 2855e** printer to Wi-Fi, use the printer’s color touchscreen to run the **Wireless Setup Wizard**: turn on the printer, go to Wireless or Network settings, select Wireless Setup Wizard, choose your Wi-Fi network from the list or enter the SSID manually, then enter your Wi-Fi password when prompted and confirm to connect[1].
Alternatively, you can connect using the **HP Smart app** on your phone or computer: install and open HP Smart, choose to set up a new printer, select Wi-Fi connection, pick your network, enter the password, then follow the prompts which may include pressing the printer’s flashing information button to finalize setup[4][5].
If Wi-Fi Direct is preferred for printing without a wireless router, enable Wi-Fi Direct on the printer by pressing the Wi-Fi button until the Wi-Fi Direct icon appears solid blue; then connect your device directly to the printer’s Wi-Fi network[3].
