Find wifi password for HP printer to connect to HP Smart app.

[orangejuice_]

I am trying to connect my printer to my HP Smart app on my phone in order to print documents. I am unable to connect the wi-fi on the printer from my phone simply because i do not have the password. I had Googled my problem and it had said that the password for the printer is most likely on the actual printer. I have the printer for 2-3 years now but I do not have the box/ reader manuals it had come with. I've checked on the printer itself and there are codes/passwords to enter. But none of them work and therefore I am unable to connect the wi-fi from my printer to my phone.

Welcome to the HP Community --

The WiFi password is the password you use to connect to your Wireless Network --

For example, when you configure your phone to connect to your network, you are asked for a Username and also a network password. 

In general, and unless the printer is being connected to the phone directly using WiFi Direct, you do need to know the password to your own network.

The User Guide explains how to connect to your network, including how to use the WPS / PIN method.

The router needs to support the method (must have a WPS pin button on the router).

Do you need the WPS PIN to connect your printer? Click here for tips and tricks!

Start > Read Chapter 3 - Connect your printer - Starting on Page 19

Reminder: Read starting on Page 4 for a review of the buttons and panel lights on the printer.

What else?

Log into your router --

The router includes your network configuration.

This information includes the Wireless passphrase / password you assigned that allows you to connect your devices to the network.

See your router's user manual for help.

The printer can connect to 2.4GHz or 5GHz --

Depending on how you configured your network, each network might have been assigned a different network name.

Passwords to the SSID networks can be different for each network or the same for both.
