I want to set my HP Desk Jet 2742e Printer to my HP Laptop

Hi,

Thanks for using the HP Support Community.

 

Use HP Smart app on an Android phone or Win 10 PC to onboard the printer.

This is HP+ model - so be sure to activate HP+ and enroll Instant Ink to enjoy the 6 months of Free Ink. 2 years HP Warranty and savings on Instant Ink!

 

These resources will be useful for the printer:

(this is using HP Smart mobile - similar process for HP Smart on Win 10 Laptop)

Shows alternative software that you can use after the printer is setup  - HP+ Activated, Instant Ink Enrolled etc.

 

Do note that the printer will need to be connected to a network for HP+ to work properly.

 

Hope that helps!

 

I am an HP Employee. Although I am speaking for myself and not for HP.
