To set up your HP printer to Wi-Fi, the most common and straightforward method is to use the **HP Smart app**:
1. Ensure your printer is turned on and has paper loaded.
2. Connect your phone or computer to the Wi-Fi network you want the printer to join.
3. Download and install the **HP Smart app** on your device (available for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS).
4. Open the HP Smart app, sign in or create an HP account if prompted.
5. Tap the “+” icon or “Add Printer” to find your printer on the network.
6. Follow the on-screen instructions to select your Wi-Fi network and enter the password.
7. Once connected, the app will confirm the printer is online.
Alternatively, for printers with a control panel screen:
– Navigate on the printer to **Setup > Network Settings > Wireless Setup Wizard**.
– Select your Wi-Fi network from the list.
– Enter the password via the printer display.
– Wait for confirmation of connection.
If your router supports **Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)**:
– Press the WPS button on your router.
– Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your printer.
– Wait for the printer to connect automatically (indicated by a solid Wi-Fi light).
For printers without screens, you can also connect via USB cable first, then use the HP software to configure wireless settings and disconnect the cable afterwards.
These methods cover the main ways to connect an HP printer to Wi-Fi and enable wireless printing[1][2][3][5].
