Hi @Pninula,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

To connect your HP printer to your Windows 10 (32-bit) laptop, follow these steps depending on how you want to connect it:

Option 1: Connect via Wi-Fi (Wireless)

Step 1: Get the Printer’s IP Address

• On the printer, go to Settings > Network Setup > Wireless Settings.
• Print a Network Configuration Page to find the IP address.

Step 2: Add the Printer to Your Laptop

1. Open Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
2. Click Add a printer.
3. Select “The printer that I want isn’t listed”.
4. Choose “Add a printer using a TCP/IP address or hostname”.
5. Enter the printer’s IP address and follow the prompts.

Option 2: Connect via USB Cable

Step 1: Plug in the USB Cable

• Connect the printer to your laptop using a USB cable.

Step 2: Install Drivers

• Windows should automatically detect and install the printer.
• If not, download the full driver from HP:
  • 🔗Official HP® Support

Make sure to select Windows 10 (32-bit) as your OS.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
