To connect an **HP DeskJet 2700 printer to Wi-Fi**, you can use either the **HP Smart app** or the **WPS button** method:
1. **Using the HP Smart App**:
– Ensure the printer is on and loaded with paper.
– Connect your computer or smartphone to the Wi-Fi network you want the printer to join.
– Download and open the HP Smart app. Sign in or create an HP account.
– The app should detect your printer; if not, add it manually using the “+” icon.
– Go to “Printer Settings” > “Network Setup”.
– Select your Wi-Fi network, enter the password, and connect.
The printer will then be connected to Wi-Fi, enabling wireless printing from your devices[1].
2. **Using WPS Button on Printer and Router**:
– On the printer, press and hold the Wireless button for three seconds until it blinks.
– On your router, press the WPS button (usually labeled or with a Wi-Fi symbol) for 3-5 seconds to start the connection process.
– Wait for the printer’s wireless light to stop blinking and stay solid, indicating a successful connection.
After this, proceed to set up printing from your computer or mobile device[3].
Additional points:
– If your printer previously connected but now cannot, ensure the router’s DHCP server assigns a fixed IP address to the printer’s MAC address to improve connection stability, especially if using repeaters or boosters[2].
– The printer’s control panel is minimal, so most settings are done through the app or by using physical buttons like the Wireless button[4].
