how do i hook up my hp printer to wifi

To hook up your HP printer to Wi-Fi, follow these general steps: Turn on the printer and access its control panel or touchscreen, then navigate to Setup or Network Settings and select the Wireless Setup Wizard. Choose your Wi-Fi network from the list, enter your Wi-Fi password when prompted, and wait for the printer to connect. Once connected, you can install the HP printer software on your computer or mobile device to start printing wirelessly[2][3].

If your router supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), you can connect without typing the password: press and hold the printer’s Wireless or WPS button until the light blinks, then within two minutes, press the WPS button on your router. The printer will automatically connect to your Wi-Fi network, indicated when the wireless light stops blinking or a confirmation appears on the printer display[1].

Key points:
– Make sure your printer is in range of the Wi-Fi network
– Use the Wireless Setup Wizard on the printer’s menu if WPS is not available
– Enter your Wi-Fi password correctly to establish connection
– After connection, install HP software for easiest printing setup

These instructions apply to most HP wireless printers. For model-specific steps, consult your printer’s manual or HP’s official support resources[2][3][1].
