how do i connect my hp smart printer to the internet

To connect your HP Smart printer to the internet (Wi-Fi), you can follow one of these common methods:

1. **Using the HP Smart App:**
– Turn on your printer; ensure the Wi-Fi light is blinking.
– Open the HP Smart app on your mobile device or computer.
– Tap “Add Printer” or “New Printer” in the app.
– Select your Wi-Fi network and enter the password.
– Follow any on-screen instructions, including possibly pressing the Information button on the printer.
– The Wi-Fi light stops blinking when connected[2][3].

2. **Using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) Push Button:**
– Ensure your printer supports WPS and your router has a WPS button.
– On the printer, press and hold the Wireless button until it blinks.
– Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your router.
– The printer will connect automatically, indicated by the wireless light stabilizing[1][4].

3. **Using the Printer Control Panel’s Wireless Setup Wizard:**
– Access the printer’s control panel or touchscreen.
– Navigate to “Setup” or “Network Settings,” then select “Wireless Setup Wizard.”
– Choose your Wi-Fi network from the list.
– Enter the Wi-Fi password when prompted.
– Wait until the printer confirms connection[4].

Additional tips:
– Place the printer close to your Wi-Fi router during setup.
– If your printer was previously connected but lost connection, use “Wi-Fi Setup Mode” (activation depends on model) to make it discoverable and reconnect via HP Smart app[3][5].
– Check HP’s official support or the HP Smart App for model-specific instructions.

These methods cover most HP Smart printers released recently and will help you establish an internet connection for wireless printing.
