selecting 8.1x64 Clicking "Open all" shows the drivers are the same as windows 11

Watch the reset video or perform the steps. After resetting, you generally have 2 hours to complete the setup. Decide if you want to connect the printer to the router or to print directly to the printer and bypass the router.

Many HP and other OEM printers have problems with the router when the router has two bands and both bands have the same name (SSID). Log into the modem and rename one of the bands. Alternately, contact your ISP and have them rename a band.

Or simply use Wi-Fi direct (but read note below about Instant Ink).

If English is not your native language or if you wish to get additional information not covered below, then use the HP and Microsoft support assistants. The latest HPSA supports 36 languages and can be downloaded here. Microsoft's AI assistant is in the latest Windows 10 and 11 releases and there are instructions here on how to enable the AI. Microsoft's AI assistant (Copilot) has a microphone button and supports natural language processing.

Do not call any phone numbers shown in any of the videos or revealed by a Bing or Google search unless it is an HP site or video.

You may need to reset the printer: video here
Works on 4220, 4230, 4258, 4230


Wi-Fi setup to router: video here


For Wi-Fi direct setup see page 11 click here or watch this video
This is useful if there is no modem or you do not wish to use the modem or router.

Simple push button or WPS setup is described on page 11 also. Do this if you do not have a smartphone or laptop.

Let me know if you have a flex system (Wi-Fi boosters or repeaters) as the setup is much more complicated for routers.
