Product: Envy 5540
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

Today I set up my new Envy 5540 Printer. Before doing that I set up a home network, because I had none. But now I wonder whether it is relly necessary for the wireless conection with my EliteBook 850 G2.

Thank you much for the information, which I read.

 

On the touch screen of the printer:

 

IP: 162.198.1.65

My Network Name (xxx)

The MAC code (xxx)

Host Name HP AE - 3090

 

Don't know which of the two wireless options I have set, but printing and scanning work fine wirelessly.  If I understand you well I don't need a Home Group Network.
