Hi @Ojjuice,

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding connecting your HP printer to a desktop computer!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

Try these steps:

Ensure Network Connectivity:

• Make sure your desktop computer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network you want your printer to connect to.

Install HP Smart App:

• You mentioned installing the HP Smart app. Ensure it is installed and running on your desktop computer. This app helps with printer setup and management.

Wireless Setup:

• Within the HP Smart app, select "Add Printer" and follow the on-screen prompts to search for and connect to your printer.
• Make sure your printer is within range of your Wi-Fi router.

Printer Network Configuration:

• If you face issues, access the printer's control panel and navigate to the network setup menu.
• Use the Wireless Setup Wizard (often found in the "Network" menu section) to connect the printer to the Wi-Fi network.

Driver Installation:

• Ensure that the necessary printer drivers are installed on your desktop. Visit HP Customer Support - Software and Driver Downloads to download the latest drivers if needed.

Verify Connection:

• Once connected, the blue light should become solid, indicating a successful network connection.

Troubleshooting:

• If the printer still does not connect, restart your router, computer, and printer, then try the setup process again.

I hope this helps.
