@Jerry200, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

 

I understand you are trying to connect the printer to the internet. To assist you better,

  • Do you get any errors?
  • Do you have a personal wireless router?

 

Use the WPS method to connect the printer to a wireless network. Refer to - Connecting an HP Printer Using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)

  • Restart the router, the printer, and the PC
  • Make sure the printer and the PC are connected to the same wireless network. Either 2.4 or 5GHz network.
  • If you have a Dual-band router and both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks share the same name/SSID, the printer will not be able to connect to the network. In this case, contact your Internet service provider to assign different names to both networks.
  • This printer supports WPA encryption, check if the router is on the same encryption method. If using WEP or WPA-PSK+FT change it to WPA-PSK

Use the HP Smart app to print and scan.

 

Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes.
