how do i setup my hp printer to wifi

To set up your HP printer to WiFi, the typical steps are:

1. **Using the Printer’s Built-in Setup Wizard (for printers with a display):**
– Turn on your printer.
– Go to the printer’s control panel or touchscreen.
– Navigate to “Setup” or “Network Settings.”
– Select “Wireless Setup Wizard.”
– Choose your WiFi network from the list.
– Enter the WiFi password using the printer interface.
– Wait for connection confirmation, indicated usually by a solid WiFi light[1][5].

2. **Using WPS (if your router supports it):**
– Press the WPS button on your WiFi router.
– Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your printer.
– Wait for automatic connection; a solid WiFi indicator light signals success.
– This method avoids entering the network password and is quick and secure[1].

3. **Using the HP Smart App (if you prefer app setup):**
– Turn on your printer and ensure the WiFi light is blinking.
– Open the HP Smart App on your smartphone (available for Android and iOS).
– Tap “Add Printer” or “New Printer.”
– Select your WiFi network and enter the password within the app.
– Follow any on-screen prompts; connection completes when the WiFi light stops blinking[2].

4. **For printers without a display:**
– Connect the printer to your computer via USB cable.
– Download and run the HP printer software or HP Smart App.
– Use the software’s wireless setup wizard to configure WiFi.
– Disconnect the USB after setup[1].

Additional tips:
– Make sure your printer is within range of your WiFi router.
– Use a 2.4 GHz network if your printer doesn’t support 5 GHz.
– Keep your WiFi password and router name handy during setup[1][5].

This approach applies broadly for most HP printers and is supported by HP’s own guidance and tutorials[1][2][5].
