"Connect" button greyed out on wireless printer setup

[Virajs]

I'm setting up a new printer using the HP Smart desktop app and attempting to connect the printer to the WiFi network manually (i.e. with the password). I've typed the password in but the "Connect" button is greyed out. Why is this happening and how do I get the "Connect" button to not be greyed out?

Hi @Virajs
Welcome to HP Support Community. This is a great place to post questions find answers.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I see that you are facing issues with your HP Printer when connecting to your Mac computer.

Please follow the steps listed below to reset printing systems and then add the printer.
1. Click the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences.
2. Click Printers & Scanners, Print & Scan, or Print & Fax.
3. Right-click (or Control + click) anywhere inside the Printers window, and then click Reset printing system.
4. Click Reset or OK.
Note: Once you click on reset any other printer added to this computer will also get deleted and needs to be added again.
5. If prompted, type your username and password, and then click OK. The printing system resets.
6. Turn off the printer, wait 5 seconds, and then turn on the printer.
7. Wait until the printer is idle and silent.
8. In the Printers window on the Mac, click the Add button.
9. Select your printer from the list, and then click Add.
It might take a few seconds before your printer displays in the Printers list.
