how do i reconnect my hp printer to the internet

To reconnect your HP printer to the internet (Wi-Fi network), you can follow these common and effective methods:

1. **Using the Wireless Setup Wizard on the Printer** (for printers with touchscreens or button controls):
– On your printer control panel, go to *Setup* or *Wireless Settings*.
– Select **Wireless Setup Wizard**.
– Choose your Wi-Fi network from the list of available networks.
– Enter the Wi-Fi password to connect.
– The printer’s wireless light should show a solid blue or steady connection once connected[1].

2. **Using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)**:
– Press and hold the Wireless button on the printer until the wireless light flashes.
– On your router, press the WPS button within 2 minutes.
– The printer and router will communicate and reconnect[1].

3. **Using the HP Smart App** (works for Android and iOS devices):
– Turn on the printer and make sure the Wi-Fi light is blinking.
– Open the HP Smart app, select **Add Printer**.
– Follow the prompts to select your Wi-Fi network and enter the password.
– When prompted, press the Information button on the printer.
– The Wi-Fi light will stop blinking once successfully connected[3].

4. **If These Steps Fail (Advanced)**:
– Connect to the printer’s direct Wi-Fi network named something like “DIRECT-xx-HP…”.
– On a browser, open the printer’s embedded web server page (commonly 192.168.223.1).
– Go to Network > Wireless > Wireless Setup Wizard.
– Select your Wi-Fi network and enter the password.
– Confirm the connection (solid blue light indicates success).
– Reconnect your device to your home Wi-Fi network afterward[2].

If your printer still does not connect, consider uninstalling and reinstalling the HP printer software on your computer to refresh the connection and drivers[2].

These methods cover most HP printer models and network setups. If you need device-specific instructions, your HP printer model number can help tailor the steps more precisely.
