I am missing the $ symbol on my HP Envy printer. How can I enter the $ in my password to connect to wifi?

Hi @Choward1,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for reaching out!

It sounds like you are navigating the on-screen keyboard for your HP Envy printer and cannot find the specific special characters required for your Wi-Fi password. Because the default view usually only shows letters and numbers, you must manually toggle to the symbols sub-menu to locate the dollar sign.

Access the Wi-Fi Setup Wizard

• Touch the Wireless icon or the Settings (gear) icon on the printer's home screen.
• Select Network Setup or Wireless Settings, then choose Wireless Setup Wizard.
• Select your network name from the list to bring up the on-screen keyboard.

Toggle the keyboard to Special Characters

• Look for a button on the bottom-left or bottom-right of the touch keyboard labeled 123 or ?#!.
• Tap this button to switch from the alphabetical layout to the numbers and common symbols layout.
• If you still do not see the $ symbol, look for a "Page 2" arrow or a More button to reveal additional special characters.

Enter the symbol and complete the connection

• Tap the $ symbol once it appears on the screen to add it to your password string.
• Toggle back to the letter layout (usually labeled abc) to finish entering the rest of your password.
• Press OK or Done to initiate the connection attempt to your router.

Use the HP Smart App (Recommended). 

The easiest way to enter a complex password is to use the HP Smart app on your phone or computer, which bypasses the printer's limited screen keyboard. 

• Restore Wi-Fi setup mode on the printer (usually holding the Wireless/Power buttons until the light flashes).
• Open the HP Smart app and select "Add Printer."
• When prompted for the Wi-Fi password, type it into the app. This will send the password with the $ symbol to the printer. 

Connect via WPS (No Password Required) 

If your router has a Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) button, you can connect without typing the password at all. 

• Touchscreen Models: Select Wireless Settings > Wi-Fi Protected Setup > Push Button.
• Non-Touchscreen Models: Hold the Wireless button until the light blinks. Within 2 minutes, press the

I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day ahead! 🚀
