To use wireless printing with an HP printer, you need to connect your HP printer to your Wi-Fi network first. This is commonly done via the printer’s control panel by using the Wireless Setup Wizard, or through the HP Smart app on your computer or mobile device. After connecting your printer to the network, you can print wirelessly from any device on the same network using the HP Smart app or directly through standard printing dialogs.
Key steps to set up wireless printing with your HP printer (e.g., HP OfficeJet Pro 8025) include:
1. **Turn on your printer** and ensure it has power.
2. On the printer’s control panel, tap the **Wireless icon** and select **Setup** or **Wireless Setup Wizard**.
3. Choose your Wi-Fi network from the list and enter the password to connect the printer to your network.
4. Download and install the **HP Smart app** on your computer or mobile (available from App Store, Google Play, or Microsoft Store).
5. Open HP Smart and use the **Add Printer** option to detect and add your printer.
6. Follow on-screen instructions in the app to complete setup.
7. Once done, you can print wirelessly from your devices via HP Smart or standard print menus[1][2][3][4].
Alternative connection methods include:
– **WPS button method:** If your router supports WPS, you can press the WPS button on your router and then on your printer to automatically connect without entering a password[3].
– **USB setup method:** For printers without a display, connect to a computer via USB, then use the HP Smart app to configure wireless settings, and remove USB once done[3].
Using www.hp.com/go/wirelessprinting is generally a reference link that directs users to HP’s wireless printing support resources, software, and drivers needed for setup[2].
Videos available from HP support channels also visually demonstrate these steps for different HP models, showing setup via control panel and HP Smart app[4][5].
