Connecting LaserJet M118 to the wifi network

[PastorLeslie]

Hi! I have an HP LaserJetPro M118dw and I do not know how to connect it to the network. Second, I have an HP Chromebook and I cannot get it to recognize the new printer. Likely, because the printer is not "available" on the network. HELP!

Hi @PastorLeslie

Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you with the connectivity issue. 

If the router has a WPS push button, try these steps -

1) Press and hold the Wireless button on the printer for more than three seconds to start WPS push mode. The Wireless light starts blinking.

2) Press the WPS button on your router.

NOTE: THE MOMENT YOU PRESS THE WIRELESS BUTTON ON YOUR PRINTER, WITHIN 30 SECONDS YOU SHOULD PRESS THE WPS BUTTON ON THE ROUTER.

Or, connect the printer to Wi-Fi Direct and run the Wireless setup from the EWS page -

1) Connect the printer using the Wireless Direct. Please refer to page#45 and 46 from the User Manual for steps. 

2) Open the browser and in the address or the URL bar type this - 192.168.223.1 to launch the EWS or the printer's page.

3) Go to the network tab > Wireless (802.11) and click on the Wireless Setup Wizard.

Once the printer is connected, the Wi-Fi LED on the printer will become solid.

Thank you! I will try when I get back to
