Hi @Don-123-45,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To hardwire your HP 6455e printer, you'll need to connect it directly to your computer or network using a physical cable. Here's how you can do it.

Locate the Ports: Check the back or sides of your HP 6455e printer for available ports. You're likely looking for a USB port or an Ethernet port.

USB Connection:

• If your printer has a USB port, you can use a USB cable to connect it directly to your computer. Make sure your computer has an available USB port.
• Once connected, your computer should automatically detect the printer. Follow any on-screen prompts to install the necessary drivers if they aren't already installed.

Ethernet Connection:

• If your printer has an Ethernet port, you can connect it directly to your network router or switch using an Ethernet cable.
• Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the printer's Ethernet port and the other end to an available Ethernet port on your router or switch.
• Once connected, your printer should automatically obtain an IP address from your network. You may need to consult your printer's manual for specific instructions on how to access the printer settings to verify the connection.

Configure Printer Settings:

• Depending on your setup, you may need to configure the printer settings to ensure it's using the correct connection type (USB or Ethernet).
• Access the printer's settings menu either through its control panel or via a web interface (if available) using its IP address.
• Navigate to the network or connectivity settings and choose the appropriate connection type (USB or Ethernet).
• Save the settings and exit the menu.

Test the Connection:

• Once the printer is connected and configured, print a test page from your computer to ensure that the printer is working correctly.
• If you're connected via Ethernet, you may need to install the printer on your computer using its IP address.

By following these steps, you should be able to hardwire your HP 6455e printer to your computer or network successfully.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
