Hi @NM114,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding connecting your HP ENVY 6030e printer and your Dell laptop with the Snapdragon Elite X processor to the HP LaserJet 1160!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
Try these steps:
Connecting the HP ENVY 6030e Printer
Wireless Connection Setup:
- Ensure your HP ENVY 6030e printer is powered on.
- On the printer, navigate to the wireless settings and enable wireless connection.
- On your Dell laptop, connect it to the same Wi-Fi network your printer is connected to.
Install Printer Software:
- Go to the HP website or use the installation CD that came with the printer to download and install the HP Smart app or Printer Driver on your Dell laptop.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to find and connect to the HP ENVY 6030e printer.
Connecting the HP LaserJet 1160 Printer
Network Connection:
- Since the HP LaserJet 1160 does not have a built-in wireless capability, you may need an external network print server (e.g., HP Jetdirect) to connect it to your network.
- Connect the LaserJet 1160 to the print server using a USB or parallel cable, and then connect the print server to your network via Ethernet.
Install Printer Software:
- Install the necessary printer drivers for the HP LaserJet 1160 on your Dell laptop by downloading them from the HP support website.
- Configure your laptop to communicate with the printer through the network settings, using the IP address assigned to the print server.
HP Laserjet Specific Connection Notes
- For optimal setup, ensure both printers are on the same network as your laptop.
- Drivers and software installations might prompt necessary restarts.
- Printer configuration pages can be printed for network settings confirmation if necessary.
