To connect your HP Smart Tank 580 printer to Wi-Fi, first reset the printer’s network settings by turning it off, then pressing and holding the Wi-Fi button while turning it back on until the Wi-Fi light blinks rapidly. This clears previous Wi-Fi credentials. Next, use the HP Smart app on your smartphone or PC to find and connect the printer to your wireless network by following the app’s wireless setup instructions[4].
More detailed steps include:
– Turn on the printer.
– Press and hold the Wi-Fi button until the Wi-Fi light starts blinking quickly (network settings reset).
– Open the HP Smart app on your Android or iOS device.
– Use the app’s guided process to connect the printer to your home Wi-Fi network.
– Alternatively, you can connect directly via Wi-Fi Direct from your mobile device to the printer using the Wi-Fi Direct name and password printed on the printer information report (obtained by pressing the information button once on the printer)[1].
If you face issues reconnecting after a network change, resetting the network settings and reconfiguring via the HP Smart app generally resolves them[4][2]. Several video tutorials demonstrate this setup process, illustrating both Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct connection methods for the HP Smart Tank 580 series[1][3].
