how do i connect my hp printer to a new wi fi

To connect your HP printer to a new Wi-Fi network, follow these steps:

1. **For HP printers with a touchscreen or control panel:**
– Place the printer within range of your Wi-Fi.
– Power on the printer and navigate to the **Wireless Setup Wizard** or **Network/Wireless menu** on the printer’s screen.
– Select your new Wi-Fi network from the list.
– Enter the Wi-Fi password when prompted.
– Wait for the connection to establish, then print a test page to confirm[1][2][5].

2. **If your printer lacks a touchscreen:**
– Temporarily connect your printer to a computer using a USB cable.
– Download and install the HP printer software or HP Smart app on your computer.
– Use the software’s network setup to select and connect to the new Wi-Fi network[2][3][5].

3. **Using the HP Smart App (for phones or computers):**
– Ensure your phone/computer is connected to the Wi-Fi network you want to use.
– Download and open the HP Smart app.
– Add your printer (the app should detect it automatically or you can add it manually).
– Access printer settings -> Network Setup.
– Select your Wi-Fi network and enter the password.
– Follow prompts to connect; the app confirms success when the Wi-Fi light stops blinking[3][4].

4. **Alternative: Connect via WPS (if your router and printer support it):**
– Press the WPS button on your router.
– Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your printer.
– The printer will connect automatically without needing a password[1].

Before starting, ensure you have your Wi-Fi name (SSID) and password handy and your printer is powered on. If you experience issues, check your router settings for MAC filtering or connection limits that might block new devices[1][5].

This covers the typical ways to connect an HP printer to a new Wi-Fi network reliably.
