Lots of help here:

 Wireless printing center

 

and more here:

HP Collection of “how-to” videos

HP Video Gallery

  • Use Categories and the search window to narrow the search. 
    • For example:  Printers and All-in-Ones > Networking and Wireless

 

and more...

 

Network parameters can be changed using the Printer Control Panel (for those printers that have a printer control panel). 

 

How to check / verify / change the Wireless setup:

HP Printers - No Connection after Router or Wi-Fi Settings Change

 

 

In general, the following is relevant for printers that are on your network:

 

Use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) to manage / configure your printer.

 

Open your favorite browser > type / enter Printer IP address into URL / Address bar

 

For example:

tab Network > Wireless (802.11) Advanced

 

HP_8630_EWS_Network_1CHP_8630_EWS_Network_1C
