The all-new HP printer has finally arrived at your doorstep. But there’s one thing you need to learn to print wirelessly from your new printer: make sure it is connected to your WiFi network. That’s quite simple, but if you find it confusing, do as mentioned here:
Install HP Smart App
- Go to start.hp.com or search for the HP Smart app in your device’s app store.
- Install the app on your device (phone, laptop, tablet).
- Power on your printer.
- Press and hold the Wireless button for about 5 seconds until the wireless light starts blinking blue. This means the printer is ready to connect to WiFi.
- Launch the app and sign in or create an HP account
- Tap “Set Up a New Printer.”The app will automatically search for available printers.
- Choose your home WiFi network from the list. If you see both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks, select the 2.4 GHz network because most HP printers work only with 2.4 GHz WiFi.
- Type your WiFi password and tap Continue. Wait for the printer to connect.
- Once connected, follow the prompts to finish the installation.
Connect via Wireless Setup Wizard
- On your HP printer screen, tap the Settings or Wireless icon.
- Go to Network > Wireless Setup Wizard or Setup > Wireless Settings.
- Tap Wireless Setup Wizard, then let the printer scan for nearby WiFi networks.
- Wait a few seconds for the network list to appear.
- Select your WiFi network from the list.
- If you see both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks, choose the 2.4 GHz network for a more stable printer connection.
- Use the printer’s on-screen keyboard to type your WiFi password carefully.
