I have a HP smart tank wireless 450 and I can't connect to my starlink wifi

[IP24]

I can't seem to connect my printer to my wifi from Starlink. Also I don't have a printer with a screen, so I can't search for the Starlink wifi.

How do I connect my printer?

Hi @IP24,

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I understand you are trying to connect your HP Smart Tank Wireless printer to your Starlink WiFi network without a screen interface on the printer can be a bit tricky but manageable. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:

Prepare Your Printer:

• Make sure your printer is turned on and in a ready state.
• Ensure that the printer's wireless feature is enabled. Typically, there should be a wireless button or indicator light on the printer.

Find Your Printer's WPS Button:

• Look for the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) button on your printer. It's usually located on the back or side of the printer.
• Press and hold the WPS button for a few seconds. This will initiate the WPS mode on your printer.

Activate WPS on Your Starlink Router:

• On your Starlink Wi-Fi router, locate the WPS button. It's often found on the front or back of the router, usually labeled as "WPS" or represented by an icon.
• Press the WPS button on your Starlink router. You'll typically need to hold it for a few seconds until the WPS indicator starts blinking.

Wait for Connection:

• Once both the printer and the router are in WPS mode, they will attempt to establish a connection automatically.
• Wait for a few minutes for the connection process to complete. The status indicator on both the printer and the router will confirm when the connection is successful.

Test the Connection:

• After the connection is established, try printing a test page to confirm that your printer is successfully connected to the Starlink WiFi network.
• If the test page prints successfully, your printer is now connected to the Starlink WiFi network.
