Hi @Mrofeno,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your printer!

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

 

Try these steps:

Accessing Wi-Fi Settings on the Printer Control Panel

To access and configure Wi-Fi settings on your HP OfficeJet Pro 9129e All-in-One Printer, follow these steps:

  1. Power On the Printer: Ensure your printer is turned on.
  2. Open the Control Panel:
    • On the printer’s control panel, touch the Wireless icon or navigate to the "Network" or "Settings" menu.
  3. Wi-Fi Setup:
    • Wireless Setup Wizard: Select "Setup", then "Network Setup" or "Wireless Settings". Follow the on-screen instructions to select your Wi-Fi network and enter the password.
    • Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS): If your router supports WPS, press the WPS button on your router and then the WPS button on your printer for easy connection.

For detailed guidance, the HP Smart app can be used in conjunction with these steps to assist in connecting your printer to the network.

Connecting the Printer via USB Cable

To connect your HP OfficeJet Pro 9129e printer to your computer using a USB cable, you need a standard USB Type-A to USB Type-B cable:

  • USB Type-A: The typical rectangular connector that plugs into the USB port on your computer.
  • USB Type-B: The squarish connector that plugs into the printer.

USB Cable Recommendation

You can easily find a suitable USB cable on online stores like Amazon. Here is an example of a compatible cable: 

I hope this helps.
