To connect your HP printer to WiFi, first ensure the printer is within range of your wireless network and powered on. Then, access the printer’s wireless setup menu—usually by pressing the Wireless button or navigating the printer’s control panel—and select your WiFi network from the available list. Enter the WiFi password when prompted and wait for the printer to establish the connection. You can test the connection by printing a test page[1].
Alternatively, you can use the HP Smart App (available on Android and iOS) to simplify the process: turn on the printer and ensure the Wi-Fi light is blinking blue; if not, press and hold the Wi-Fi and Cancel buttons until it blinks. Open the HP Smart App, add the printer, select your WiFi network, and enter the password. When prompted, press and release the Information button on the printer to complete the setup. The Wi-Fi light will stop blinking once connected[2][3].
If your printer supports WPS (WiFi Protected Setup), you can connect using WPS by pressing the WPS button on your router and then initiating WPS on your printer, which will connect automatically without entering a password[1]. For printers lacking a touchscreen, pressing and holding the Wireless and Cancel buttons simultaneously until the power light blinks can reset wireless settings to enable setup[4].
