The USB port was broken and I cannot just simply plug it in to find the printer that way. Does anyone have a work around that I can use to set it up to function wirelessly?

 

Thanks for the help!

Thank you for posting on HP Forums,

The Barachiel is at your service.

 

I understand you are in need of support, in getting the printer configured wireless.

I'll be glad to help you out, however, for an accurate solution I will need more details:

 

Have you already installed the printer's full feature software and configured it?

Have you attempted any steps on your own before posting on the HP Forums?

When was the last time it worked without these issues? 

 

In the meantime, please try the steps mentioned on this link: Click here

 

Please reply with the details for further assistance.

Eager to help!

Hi,

Your pritner can be connected to a wireless network in two methods, one is by the HP Software, whcih require a temporary USB connection to a computer, the other method is using WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) which can be done without a computer and don't rquire a USB, but require a WPS-enabled wireless router to connect the printer using this method.

 

Consult your router documentation, if it support WPS Push-Button it will either have a button on your router or on its management home page:

 

  • Press the WPS button on your wireless router.
  • On the printer control panel, press the Wireless button . The wireless light starts to blink.
  • Wait up to two minutes while the printer establishes a network connection with the wireless router.
    Once the printer connects to the router, the wireless light is solid.
