Hi @melona

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

Are you trying to connect the printer to a guest network or a private network?

Are you using a wireless router or trying to connect the printer via Wifi-Direct?

Make sure you are trying to connect the printer to your wireless network.

Also, check on other devices if you can connect wirelessly using the same wireless password.

• Make sure the printer and the MAC are connected to the same wireless network.
• This printer supports only 2.4GHz network. So, the MAC should be on the 2.4GHz network.
• If you have a Dual-band router and both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks share the same name/SSID, the printer will not be able to connect to the network. In this case, contact your Internet service provider to assign different names to both the networks.
• Also, check with your Internet service provider if your router is able to forward 'Bonjour packets'.
• The wireless status menu on your Mac should also give us quite a lot of information that would help us identify the issue. You can press and hold the option key on your keyboard and click the WiFi icon to get detailed information.

To know how to find the wireless password, refer to this document.
