The HP OfficeJet H470 does not have built-in Wi-Fi capabilities, but you can use a Bluetooth adapter or connect it to a network via a wireless print server.

Using a Bluetooth Adapter:

Set Up the Printer in HP Smart App:

• Open the HP Smart app and sign in with your HP account.
• Tap the Plus sign (+) to add a new printer.
