To connect your HP printer to a new Wi-Fi network, the typical process involves using the printer’s control panel to access the Wireless Setup Wizard, selecting your new Wi-Fi network, and entering the network password. If your printer has a touchscreen, navigate to the Wireless or Network settings, select “Wireless Setup Wizard,” choose the new network from the displayed list, and enter the Wi-Fi password to complete the connection[1][3].
If your HP printer does not have a touchscreen, connect it temporarily to a computer via USB cable and use the HP Printer Software on the computer to configure the Wi-Fi settings manually[1]. Alternatively, if your router supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), you can press the WPS button on the router and then activate WPS mode on the printer for automatic connection[2][3].
Another convenient method is using the HP Smart App on your smartphone or tablet:
1. Turn on your printer and ensure the Wi-Fi light is blinking (indicating ready to connect).
2. Open the HP Smart App and add your printer.
3. Follow the prompts to select your Wi-Fi network and enter the password.
4. When prompted, press the Information button on the printer.
5. The Wi-Fi light stops blinking once connected[4].
