To set up Wi-Fi on your HP OfficeJet Pro 6978 printer, follow these steps using the printer’s control panel:
1. Power on the printer.
2. On the printer’s touchscreen, scroll down the top bar and tap the **Settings** icon.
3. Select **Network Setup**.
4. Tap **Wireless Settings**, then choose **Wireless Setup Wizard**.
5. The printer will search for available Wi-Fi networks. Select your network from the list.
6. Enter your Wi-Fi password when prompted and then tap **Done**.
7. Confirm your settings by selecting **OK**.
8. The printer will connect to the network; during this process, the Wi-Fi light will blink.
9. Once connected successfully, a confirmation message will appear. Select **OK** to finish.
This method allows your printer to connect wirelessly enabling printing and scanning over Wi-Fi[1][2][4].
Alternatively, if your router supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup), you can connect more quickly by:
– Pressing the **WPS button** on your router,
– Then on the printer, go to **Wireless Setup Wizard** and select the WPS method to connect without entering the password manually[2][3].
Both methods reliably set up your HP OfficeJet Pro 6978 for wireless use. Choose the method most convenient for you.
