Welcome to the HP support community.

I understand that you are unable to connect your printer to a WiFi connection and the Mac, I am glad to assist you.

This printer model does not have a wireless connectivity option.

You can connect the printer only with the USB cable.

Refer to the printer specification in this link:- Click here

Use the HP Smart app to connect the printer using a USB cable:

Here are the steps:-

Download the HP Smart app, and then follow the instructions to set up a USB connection in macOS.

• If you already connected the printer USB cable to your computer, disconnect it, and then remove the printer from your computer.
• Click the Apple icon , click System Preferences, and then click Printers & Scanners, Print and Scan, or Print and Fax. Select the name of your printer, click the Minus sign, and then restart the computer.
• Make sure an open USB port is available on your computer. Do not connect the printer to a USB hub or docking station as the printer might not receive enough power to operate properly.
• Go to HP Smart - Mac App Store and install the HP Smart app.
• Open the app, and then follow the guided installation to complete the setup. If the setup does not begin automatically, click the Plus sign to add your printer.

I’ve realised why my 2332 hp deskjet printer won’t connect to wireless internet.

BECAUSE IT’S NOT A WIRELESS PRINTER!!!

 I must have picked up the wrong box and got a printer requiring cable rather than a wireless printer.

It was very confusing though because the set up instruction sheet that came  with the printer is a generic instruction sheet that gives instructions for setting up wirelessly.

NOTE TO SELF……. IF THERE IS NO INTERNET WIRELESS INDICATOR BUTTON - IT US NOT WIRELESS!

Nowhere in discussion threads does it state that a 

2332 hpdeskjet is  not a wireless printer.
