Printer setup problem and wifi connect problem

[PRINCE_F]

my [ hp laserjet pro m12w ] printer does not show on my mobile wifi list.

and setup on the computer is also a problem "waiting for you to connect the device". setup stops after this text is shown. then the printer is on and the printer is properly connected to the computer.

i use windows -7 (64 bit).

@PRINCE_F,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

I reviewed your post and I understand that you are facing issues connecting the printer to your wireless network.

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

I recommend you add the printer using the printer IP address and check if it helps.

Here is how it is done.

1. Select “Start” and type “printers” in the search box.

2. Choose “Printers & scanners“.

3. Select “Add a printer or scanner“.

4. Wait for the “The printer that I want isn’t listed” option to appear, then select it.

5. Select “Add a printer using a TCP/IP address or hostname” , then select “Next“.

6. Select “TCP/IP Device” in the “Device type” list.

7. Type the hostname or the IP address of the printer. Select “Next“. To find the IP address of the printer, touch the Wi-Fi icon on the printer's control panel. 

8. Windows should find the printer if the printer is on and configured correctly. You may have to specify more information. If prompted, Select the type of network adapter installed in the printer in the “Device Type” drop-down list. You can also click “Custom” to specify custom settings for the network printer. Select “Next“

Let me know how it goes and you have a great day!
