To change the Wi-Fi network on your HP printer, you typically need to access its wireless or network settings and connect it to the new Wi-Fi by selecting the network and entering the new password. This can be done via the printer’s control panel, the HP Smart app, or using WPS if supported.
Here are the main methods:
1. **Using the Printer Control Panel:**
– Go to the wireless or network menu on your HP printer.
– Select “Wireless Setup Wizard,” “Wi-Fi Setup,” or a similar option.
– Choose your new Wi-Fi network from the list.
– Enter the Wi-Fi password using the printer’s keypad.
– Finish the setup as prompted to connect the printer to the new network[1][3][5].
2. **Using the HP Smart App:**
– Open the HP Smart app on your computer or smartphone.
– Add your printer if it’s not already listed.
– Follow the in-app instructions to select the new Wi-Fi network and enter the password.
– This helps re-establish the printer’s connection to your updated Wi-Fi[2][5].
3. **Using WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) if your router and printer support it:**
– On the printer, find and enable Wi-Fi Protected Setup or WPS.
– Press the WPS button on your router within two minutes.
– The printer will connect without entering a password manually[1].
4. **Manual Network Reset and Setup (for some models):**
– Reset network settings by pressing and holding the Wireless and Cancel buttons on the printer for about 3 seconds until the power light flashes.
– Then, connect your computer or phone to the printer’s temporary wireless network (e.g., “HP-Setup-XX-…”).
– Open a browser, enter the printer’s setup IP address (often 192.168.223.1).
– Use the web interface to select and connect to the new Wi-Fi and enter the password[3].
After changing your printer’s Wi-Fi, ensure that your computer or smartphone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network to resume printing.
If needed, consult your specific printer model manual or HP’s official support channels for detailed instructions tailored to your device.
These steps cover most HP printers with wireless capability[1][2][3][5].
