Hi denisegarry,

I'll post a few steps below for you to try yourself, I hope they help out. If that doesn't work, or you need a bit more assistance, you can call HP's Cloud team(855-785-2777), and they'll be able to help further.

1. The printer needs to have an IP address from being connected to a home network  - either wireless from the printer panel or Ethernet cable to the router will be fine.

I'm Pasting wireless steps from an HP install document - for ethernet, you automatically get an IP by plugging in a cable to the router. For wifi, you need to connect the printer as shown below:

Connect to the wireless network

Follow these steps to connect the product to your wireless WLAN 802.11 network.

1. On the product control panel, touch the Right Arrow ( ), and then touch Network .
2. Touch Wireless , touch Wireless Setup Wizard , and then touch OK .
3. Touch the name of your network.
   If the list does not contain your network name, follow these steps to enter it manually:
   Touch Enter New Network Name (SSID) .
   On the on-screen keyboard, touch the appropriate letters and numbers to enter the network name (SSID).
   NOTE:Make sure that you enter the uppercase (capital) and lowercase (small) letters exactly. Otherwise, the wireless connection fails.
   When you finish entering the new network name, touch Done , and then touch OK .

2.  Once the printer is connected, you can start using either the free HP e-print email to receive print jobs and send it to the printer, or the built-in Android service.(also free)

3.  If all of this still seems like a bit much, please consider calling HP Cloud support, they helped me once, and where very polite and quick about it   855-785-2777 8am - 11pm EST Mon. - Fri. 10am - 6:30pm EST Sat. U.S.: English
