how can i reconnect my hp printer to the internet

To reconnect your HP printer to the internet (Wi-Fi), you can follow these steps:

1. **Using the Printer Touchscreen (Wireless Setup Wizard):**

– On your printer’s control panel, navigate to the **Wireless settings menu**.
– For most models, tap **Wireless** or the wireless icon, then go to **Settings** and select **Wireless Setup Wizard**.
– For newer models, go to **Setup > Network Setup > Wireless Settings**, then select **Wireless Setup Wizard**.
– From the list of available networks, choose your Wi-Fi network and enter the password to connect.

This method is straightforward if your printer has a touchscreen[1][4].

2. **Using WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup):**

– If your router supports WPS, press the **WPS button** on your router.
– Within two minutes, press the **WPS button on your printer**.
– The printer should connect automatically without needing a password[1][3].

3. **Using the HP Smart App:**

– Turn on your printer and ensure the Wi-Fi light is blinking (indicating it’s ready to connect).
– Open the **HP Smart app** on your smartphone or tablet (available for Android and iOS).
– Tap **Add Printer** and select your printer when it appears.
– Follow the on-screen instructions, select your Wi-Fi network, and enter the password.
– The app will complete the setup and connect your printer to Wi-Fi[1][2].

4. **Additional Tips if Connectivity Fails:**

– Restart your Wi-Fi router by unplugging it, waiting 1-2 minutes, and plugging it back in.
– Double-check your Wi-Fi password for accuracy.
– Update your printer’s firmware from the HP support website.
– Reinstall the HP Smart app if you’re using it for setup[3].

Following these methods should successfully reconnect your HP printer to your wireless network. The easiest and most common way is to use the Wireless Setup Wizard on your printer or the HP Smart app on your phone[1][2][4].
