An **HP Wi-Fi printer** is an HP printer model that can connect wirelessly to your home or office Wi-Fi network, allowing you to print, scan, and copy without physical cables. These printers support wireless communication protocols like Wi-Fi and sometimes Bluetooth for easier printing from multiple devices such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets.
To **connect an HP printer to Wi-Fi**, the typical steps are:
1. Turn on the printer and ensure the Wi-Fi light is blinking (indicating it is ready to connect).
2. Use the printer’s wireless button to enable Wi-Fi setup mode (hold the wireless button until the light blinks).
3. Either use the WPS button on your router to connect automatically (press WPS on the router within 2 minutes of activating Wi-Fi on the printer) or
4. Use the **HP Smart App** on your Android or iOS device: open the app, add a new printer, select your Wi-Fi network, and enter the password. Follow on-screen prompts to complete setup, such as pressing the information button on the printer when requested.
5. After successful connection, the Wi-Fi light will stop blinking and remain solid[1][2].
