Whether you’re setting up a new printer or reconnecting after a network change, this guide explains the easiest and most effective ways to connect your HP printer to a wireless network.
This guide covers popular HP printer models including DeskJet, LaserJet, OfficeJet, Envy, and All-in-One series.
Why Connect HP Printer to WiFi?
Print from any device connected to the same network
Avoid clutter from cables and wires
Enable mobile and remote printing through apps like HP Smart
Share the printer across multiple devices or users
Method 1: Use the HP Printer Control Panel (For Printers with a Display Screen)
Steps:
Turn on your HP printer and make sure it is in a ready state.
On the printer’s display, go to:
Settings > Network Setup > Wireless Settings
Or select Wireless Setup Wizard
Choose your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) from the list.
Enter your Wi-Fi password using the on-screen keyboard.
Once connected, a confirmation message or icon will appear.
Your printer is now connected to your WiFi and ready for wireless printing.
Method 2: Use HP Smart App (For Printers Without a Display Screen)
Steps:
Download and install the HP Smart App from the HP website or app store (Windows, macOS, Android, iOS).
Open the app and select Set Up a New Printer.
Turn on your printer and ensure it’s in Wi-Fi setup mode. (Most printers enter this mode automatically on first use. If not, press and hold the Wi-Fi or Wireless button until the light starts blinking.)
The HP Smart App will detect the printer and guide you through connecting it to your Wi-Fi network.
Complete the setup and print a test page if needed.
This method is especially helpful for newer models without screens.
Method 3: Connect Using WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)
Works only if your router and HP printer support WPS.
Press the WPS button on your router for a few seconds.
Within 2 minutes, press the Wireless button or WPS button on your printer.
The printer will automatically connect to your WiFi network.
Look for a wireless light or message on the screen to confirm successful connection.
Troubleshooting Tips
Ensure your WiFi network is stable and broadcasting.
Keep the printer within range of the router.
Restart your printer and router if the connection fails.
Check for firmware updates using the HP Smart App or HP support website.
Reset wireless settings on the printer if switching to a new network.
How to Confirm WiFi Connection
Print a Wireless Network Test Report from the printer’s control panel.
Use the HP Smart App to check connection status and signal strength.
On most models, a solid blue wireless light indicates successful WiFi connection.
Conclusion
Connecting your HP printer to WiFi enhances flexibility and convenience, allowing you to print wirelessly from any device on your network. Whether using the printer’s display, the HP Smart App, or WPS, the setup process is quick and user-friendly.
