To connect your HP printer to Wi-Fi, follow these steps:
1. **Power on your printer** and make sure it is within range of your Wi-Fi network.
2. **Using the HP Smart app** (available on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS) is the easiest method:
– Download and install the HP Smart app on your phone or computer.
– Open the app and sign in or create an HP account.
– Make sure your phone or computer is connected to the Wi-Fi network you want the printer on.
– In the app, tap the “+” to add your printer; the app should detect it automatically.
– Go to Printer Settings > Network Setup.
– Select your Wi-Fi network and enter the password.
– Tap “Connect.” The printer’s Wi-Fi light should stop blinking once connected[1][3].
3. **Alternatively, connect via the printer control panel:**
– On the printer, access the wireless setup or network settings menu.
– Choose your Wi-Fi network from the list of available networks.
– Enter your Wi-Fi password when prompted.
– Wait for the printer to confirm the connection[2].
4. **If your printer supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup):**
– Press the WPS button on your router.
– Within two minutes, press the WPS button on your printer.
– The printer will connect automatically without entering a password[2].
5. **Confirm connection by printing a test page** through your computer or directly from the printer.
These methods will connect most HP wireless printers to your Wi-Fi network successfully, enabling wireless printing from your devices[1][2][3].
