To set up the **HP LaserJet 5200 printer**, follow these general steps:

1. **Unboxing and Initial Setup**
– Remove all packaging materials from the printer.
– Connect the power cord and turn on the printer.

2. **Connecting the Printer**
– Connect the printer to your computer via USB or network (Ethernet or Wi-Fi, depending on model capability).
– For network setup, press the WPS button on the printer (if supported) and then connect from your computer’s wireless settings to the printer’s network[4].

3. **Install Drivers and Software**
– Download the correct drivers and HP Smart software suitable for your operating system (Windows 10/11, macOS, Linux) from HP’s official site or use the HP Smart app on smartphone or PC[1][5].
– Install the software and follow on-screen instructions to add the printer. Ensure your computer and printer are on the same network for wireless setup[5].

4. **Load Paper**
– Open the paper tray, slide the paper guides outward, and load paper with the print side facing down (corresponding to the printer’s guidelines).
– Push the tray back in and close the tray door[2].

5. **Install Cartridges**
– Open the cartridge access door.
– Remove protective strips from new cartridges and install them into the correct slots.
– Close the cartridge door, and confirm cartridge installation on the printer’s control panel[3].

6. **Printer Alignment and Configuration**
– After installing cartridges, the printer may print an alignment page. Place this sheet on the scanner glass as directed to complete alignment[3].
– Adjust any print settings or preferences through the HP software or printer display.

A detailed video tutorial covering the complete installation and setup process of the HP LaserJet 5200, including driver installation, connection options, and optimizing print settings, is also available for step-by-step guidance[1].

If you specifically have the **HP OfficeJet 5200 All-in-One** model, the setup is similar but includes installing ink cartridges (tri-color and black) and aligning the printer using the scanner glass[2][3]. The HP Smart app can facilitate software installation and printer management for OfficeJet series printers[5].

This setup approach applies to various operating systems and hardware manufacturers, ensuring broad compatibility[1].
