To set up an HP OfficeJet Pro printer, follow these general steps:
1. **Unbox and prepare**: Remove the printer and all included materials such as the power cord, ink cartridges, and setup guide from the box[1][3].
2. **Connect power and turn on**: Plug the power cord into the printer and an outlet, then power on the printer. The printer will usually show the HP logo on the screen when starting up[3].
3. **Initial setup on the printer control panel**: Use the touchscreen or buttons to select your language and country/region[2][3].
4. **Load paper**: Open the input tray, adjust the paper guides, and insert fresh paper. Then confirm the paper type and size on the control panel if prompted[1][2].
5. **Install ink cartridges**: Open the ink access door, often by lifting the scanner bed. Wait for the ink carriage to move into position. Remove protective tape from each cartridge and insert it into the matching color-coded slot. Then close doors and confirm installation on the screen[1][2].
6. **Alignment**: The printer may automatically print an alignment page. Follow instructions (such as scanning the page) for proper printhead alignment[1].
7. **Software and driver installation**: Download and install the latest HP printer software or HP Smart app onto your computer or mobile device. The software will help finalize setup including wireless network connection[1][4].
8. **Wi-Fi setup**: You can connect the printer to your Wi-Fi network either through the printer control panel or via the HP Smart app using on-screen prompts[4].
If the printer screen is stuck on setup or you encounter issues, performing a factory reset via the printer’s menu can help, then rerunning the setup process is advised[4].
These steps broadly apply across models like the 9110, 9120, 8130e, and 8135e series but always consult your specific printer’s manual for model-specific instructions or nuances[1][2][3].
