This wireless setup method works with both iPhone and Windows laptops, as shown in step-by-step video tutorials by Printer Guruji[1][3][4].
Alternatively, if you don’t have a home Wi-Fi network, you can set up Wi-Fi Direct by pressing and holding the information and cancel buttons to activate Wi-Fi Direct. Connect your device directly to the printer’s Wi-Fi network for printing without a traditional Wi-Fi connection[2].
This approach ensures your HP Envy 6452e is connected to Wi-Fi and ready for wireless printing and scanning.
