@Leiro, Hello and welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for posting your question. I'm here to help you get things back on track.

If your modem/router does not support WPS, you can still connect your HP ENVY 4500 printer to Wi-Fi using one of the following methods:

Option 1: Use HP Smart App (Recommended)

Restore Wi-Fi Setup Mode on the printer:

• On the printer control panel, press and hold the Wireless and Cancel buttons together until the Power button starts blinking.
• Wait for the Wireless light to start blinking.

Download and install the HP Smart app:

• Go to 123.hp.com and download the HP Smart app for your computer or mobile device.

Open the HP Smart app and follow the on-screen instructions to add your printer and connect it to your Wi-Fi network.

Option 2: Use Wi-Fi Direct (No Internet Required)

If you just want to print without connecting to your home Wi-Fi, you can use Wi-Fi Direct:

Enable Wi-Fi Direct:

• On the printer control panel, press the Information button to print a report with the Wi-Fi Direct name and password.
• Alternatively, press and hold the Wi-Fi Direct button for 3 seconds.

Connect your device to the printer:

• On your computer or mobile device, go to Wi-Fi settings and connect to the network named DIRECT-xx-HP ENVY 4500.
• Enter the password from the printed report.

Print your document as usual.
