  • Power on the Printer: Plug in your printer to a power source and turn it on by pressing the power button.
  • Connect to Wi-Fi: The HP LaserJet Pro M203dw supports wireless connectivity. On the printer's control panel, navigate to the Wireless menu. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect your printer to your Wi-Fi network. Make sure your laptop is connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
