Hi @janet1950,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

Connecting your HP Envy Inspire 7200 printer via Ethernet is a great way to establish a stable and reliable network connection. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you with the process.

• Locate the Ethernet Port: First, you'll need to find the Ethernet port on your printer. It's usually located at the back of the printer near the power input and USB ports. It looks like a small rectangular opening.
• Prepare your Ethernet Cable: Ensure you have an Ethernet cable (also known as a network cable) available. This cable resembles a telephone cable but with larger connectors. One end of the cable should be plugged into the Ethernet port on your printer.
• Connect to your Network: The other end of the Ethernet cable needs to be plugged into an available Ethernet port on your router or network switch. If you're not sure where these ports are located, check the back or side of your router or switch for labeled Ethernet ports.
• Configure Printer Settings (if necessary): In most cases, your printer should automatically detect the Ethernet connection and configure the network settings accordingly. However, if prompted, you may need to follow on-screen instructions to select your network and enter any required network credentials (such as a Wi-Fi password).
• Verify Connection: Once the Ethernet cable is securely connected to both your printer and your network device (router or switch), check the printer's display panel or use the printer's control panel menu to verify that the Ethernet connection is active. You may see an indicator light near the Ethernet port on the printer, which should illuminate when a connection is established.
• Test Printing: Finally, try printing a test page or document to confirm that the printer is successfully connected to your network and functioning properly over Ethernet.

By following these steps, you should be able to connect your HP Envy Inspire 7200 printer to your network using an Ethernet cable.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
