To set up your HP printer on Wi-Fi, **use the printer’s control panel to access the Wireless Setup Wizard**, select your Wi-Fi network from the list, enter your Wi-Fi password, and confirm the connection. Alternatively, if your router supports WPS, press the WPS button on your router, then the WPS button on your printer within 2 minutes to connect without entering a password. For printers without a display, you can connect via USB to a computer, run the HP Smart app or printer software, and configure wireless settings there[1][5].
Detailed steps for printers with a display screen include:
1. Turn on your printer and ensure it is within range of your Wi-Fi router.
2. On the printer, navigate to **Setup > Network Settings > Wireless Setup Wizard**.
3. Choose your Wi-Fi network from the available options.
4. Enter the Wi-Fi password directly on the printer interface.
5. Wait for confirmation that the printer is connected to the network[1].
For WPS setup:
– Press the WPS button on your wireless router.
– Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your printer.
– Wait for the Wi-Fi light on the printer to show a solid connection[1].
Using the HP Smart app:
– Download and open the HP Smart app on your computer or smartphone.
– Make sure your printer is on and the Wi-Fi light is blinking.
– Select “Add Printer” and follow prompts to connect your printer to your Wi-Fi network by entering the password.
– When prompted, press the information button on the printer to finalize[2][3].
If the Wi-Fi light isn’t blinking, usually pressing and holding the Wi-Fi and Cancel buttons simultaneously for a few seconds resets the wireless setup mode[2][3].
Before you start, ensure your printer supports wireless networking and your Wi-Fi network is functioning properly[5].
