To set up your HP printer to your computer, you can connect it either via USB cable or wirelessly using Wi-Fi. For USB connection, plug the USB cable into the printer and the computer, wait for device recognition, then follow any on-screen prompts to install drivers if needed[1][3]. For wireless setup, download the HP Smart app on your computer, open it, select “Add Printer,” find your printer on the network, and follow the guided setup to connect to Wi-Fi and configure preferences[1][2].
If you are using Windows, you can also add the printer via Settings > Devices > Printers & Scanners > Add device. For macOS, open System Settings > Printers & Scanners, click the “+” button, and select your printer[1]. Installing or updating HP drivers helps ensure smooth communication between your computer and printer[1].
In summary:
– For USB: connect cable, power on printer, wait for recognition, install drivers.
– For Wi-Fi: install HP Smart app, add printer, connect to network via prompted steps.
– On Windows/macOS: use system printer settings to add the printer manually or automatically.
– Make sure your printer and computer are on the same network for wireless setup[1][2][3].
