Hi @Manzpowder
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
Setting up your HP DeskJet 3700 can be straightforward, but if you're encountering issues, here’s a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:
1. Unbox and Prepare
- Unpack the Printer: Remove all packaging materials, including any tape and protective plastic.
- Install Cartridges: Open the ink cartridge access door, insert the cartridges into their respective slots, and close the door.
2. Connect Power
- Plug in the Printer: Connect the power cord to the printer and plug it into a wall outlet.
- Turn It On: Press the power button to turn on the printer.
3. Load Paper
- Paper Tray: Open the input tray and load paper (make sure it’s aligned properly). Adjust the paper guides to fit the paper size.
4. Connect to Wi-Fi
- Wireless Setup: Use the printer's control panel to navigate to the wireless settings. Select the Wi-Fi network you want to connect to and enter the password.
- WPS Method: If your router supports WPS, press the WPS button on your router and then select the WPS option on your printer.
5. Install Software
- Download the HP Smart App: If you haven't done so already, download the HP Smart app from the HP website or your device's app store.
- Follow Setup Instructions: Open the app and follow the prompts to add your printer. The app will guide you through the setup process.
6. Test Print
- After the setup is complete, print a test page to ensure everything is working correctly.
7. Troubleshooting
- If you encounter any issues during setup, make sure:
- The printer is within range of the Wi-Fi router.
- The network settings on the printer are correct.
- You have the latest drivers installed on your computer.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
