how to connect my hp printer to wi fi

To connect your HP printer to Wi-Fi, you can use the printer’s built-in Wireless Setup Wizard or the HP Smart app, or connect via WPS if your router supports it.

Here are the main methods:

1. **Using the Printer’s Built-in Wireless Setup Wizard (for printers with a display):**
– On the printer control panel, go to *Setup* or *Network Settings*.
– Select *Wireless Setup Wizard*.
– Choose your Wi-Fi network from the available list.
– Enter your Wi-Fi password using the printer interface.
– Wait for confirmation that the printer is connected[1][4].

2. **Using the HP Smart App (for computer or smartphone):**
– Make sure the printer is turned on and your device is connected to the desired Wi-Fi network.
– Download and open the *HP Smart* app (available for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS).
– Add your printer by selecting *Add Printer* or tapping the “+” icon.
– Follow the prompts to select your Wi-Fi network and enter the password.
– The app will complete the connection and indicate when the printer is connected[2][3].

3. **Connecting with WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup):**
– On your router, press the WPS button.
– Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your printer.
– Wait for the connection process to complete (a solid Wi-Fi light indicates success).
– This method is fast and avoids typing passwords but requires WPS support on both devices[1].

4. **USB Method (if your printer lacks a display or Wi-Fi setup options):**
– Connect the printer to your computer using a USB cable.
– Install the HP software or use the HP Smart app on your computer.
– Follow the setup wizard to configure wireless settings for the printer.
– Disconnect the USB cable when done[1].

**Additional Tips:**
– Ensure your printer supports Wi-Fi and is within range of your wireless router.
– Keep your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password handy during setup.
– If the Wi-Fi light on the printer is not blinking or indicates no connection, you may need to reset the wireless settings (e.g., hold Wi-Fi and Cancel buttons simultaneously)[2][5].

This process enables your HP printer to connect to your wireless network, allowing wireless printing from your computer, smartphone, or other devices.
