Hi, I can't connect my printer to my workplace. It's not my own wifi but a workplace wifi we all share.  I've a hp envy 6455e all-in-one.

What can I do?

if you have an instant ink or any type of subscription contract then your 6455e must be online through the router so it can phone home to HP servers.

 

if not then you can just print directly to the printer using Wi-Fi direct (Air Print)

Wi-Fi Direct can be used to avoid configuring the router. Watch this: 6xxx
Wi-Fi Direct is explained on page 31 of the User Manual, this Wi-Fi setup avoids configuring the router.

 

Some business routers have enterprise encryption in addition to VPN
