Connecting an HP printer to a WiFi network can be achieved through several methods:
### 1. Using the HP Smart App
**Steps:**
1. **Turn on the Printer**: Ensure the Wi-Fi light is blinking blue. If not, press and hold the Wi-Fi and Cancel buttons until the power light blinks[2].
2. **Open the HP Smart App**: On your smartphone or tablet, open the app and click “Add Printer” or “New Printer”[2].
3. **Select Network**: Choose your WiFi network from the list and enter the network password[2].
4. **Confirm Connection**: Press and release the Information button on the printer. The Wi-Fi light will stop blinking once connected[2].
### 2. Using the Printer’s Built-in Setup Wizard
**Steps:**
1. **Access the Printer Menu**: Go to the wireless settings menu on your printer’s control panel.
2. **Select Wi-Fi Setup**: Look for the “Wireless Setup Wizard” option.
3. **Choose Your Network**: Select your network from the list of available networks.
4. **Enter Password**: Input your WiFi password when prompted.
5. **Wait for Connection**: The printer will establish the connection automatically[1][4].
### 3. Using WPS (WiFi Protected Setup)
**Steps:**
1. **Locate WPS on Router**: Find the WPS button on your router.
2. **Prepare Printer**: Press and hold the Wireless button on the printer until the wireless light flashes.
3. **Connect via WPS**: Press the WPS button on your router for 3 to 5 seconds. The printer should connect automatically[3].
### Troubleshooting
– Ensure the printer and the PC are connected to the same network.
– Make sure your router provides a 2.4GHz network, as most HP printers do not support 5GHz networks[3].
– If you have a dual-band router with shared SSID names for both bands, assign different names to avoid connectivity issues[3].
