Hello @Su1921

 

Greetings!
 
Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to help you. 

 

The blinking Wi-Fi LED on the printer indicates that your printer is not connected to the network. 

 

Let's try the WPS method -  

 

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.

 

You may also connect the printer using a mobile device. Please refer to the video links below for instructions -

Hi @itsjohn

 

Please try these steps -

 

1) Connect the printer using the Wireless Direct. Please refer to the page#65 from this 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.

 

Let me know.
