HP Envy Photo 6255

I am trying to connect my HP ENVY Photo 6255 printer to my home WiFi. My password contains dashes (-)...I cannot find dashes on the printer screen under symbols. Everything else is there but not a dash. Am I missing something? I can’t connect without using a dash.

Fortunately, there is more than one way to do this.

 

User Guide

Starting on Page 65

 

and...

If the printer is on the network, consider using the Embedded Web Server (EWS) to configure your printer.

 

Open your favorite browser > type / enter Printer IP address into URL / Address bar

Tab Network > Wireless (802.11) > IPv4 Configuration

And

Tab Network > Wireless (802.11) > Advanced
