To connect an HP printer to WiFi, you can typically use one of these main methods:
1. **Wireless Setup Wizard on Printer**
Use your printer’s control panel touchscreen: go to *Setup* > *Network Settings* > *Wireless Setup Wizard*, select your WiFi network, enter the password, and wait for confirmation[1].
2. **WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) Method**
If your router supports WPS, press the WPS button on the router, then press the WPS button on the printer within two minutes. The printer will connect automatically without needing a password[1][2].
3. **Using the HP Smart App**
Install the HP Smart app on your phone or computer. Open it, add the printer, select your WiFi network in the app, enter the password, and allow the app to complete the connection[3][4].
4. **USB Setup Method** (For printers without a screen)
Connect the printer to your computer via USB, run the HP software, add the printer, enter wireless details through the software, then disconnect the USB after setup[1].
**Additional tips:**
– Make sure your printer is within range of the WiFi router.
– Use a 2.4 GHz network frequency for compatibility.
– Confirm the WiFi light on the printer is solid or no longer blinking to ensure connection success[1][4].
These instructions cover most HP printers; methods like the Wireless Setup Wizard and HP Smart app are common for newer models, while WPS and USB setup help for quick or no-display setups[1][2][3].
