Hi @CABOREALITY,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

 

I'd like to help!

 

I understand you are unable connect the printer to network.

 

Please try the steps below to connect your printer to the network.-

 

● Press the Wireless button ((i)) and the Cancel button (X) from the printer control panel at the same time, and then hold them for three seconds.

 

--->On the printer control panel, press the Wi-Fi Direct button.

---> When Wi-Fi Direct is turned on, the Wi-Fi Direct light is on steady. 

--->To find the Wi-Fi Direct name and password, press the Information button (i) for 3 secs to print a printer information page.

--->On your computer or phone go to wifi and connect it to your printer 

--->Select your printer with DIRECT in the name from the list of available networks (example: DIRECT-74-HP 3700)

Or 3600

--->Select the Wi-Fi Direct printer signal in Wi-Fi settings 

--->If prompted for a password, type 12345678. This is the default password.

--->Now open a browser and type 192.168.223.1

--->you will be able to access the printer's EWS page 

--->on the page, you will find network - click on it 

--->go to wireless and select wireless setup wizard

--->now select the network that you want your printer to connect to and type in the password 

--->the wireless blue light will stop blinking once the printer is connected 

--->then connect your phone back to your network

Finally home to do all this.  I did the first step which shut off the blinking light on the wifi button.  I assume Wifi Direct is the same button?  When I press it again is blinks faster than before?

I have been fighting with multiple instruction documents and got half way thru and found out I had to connect the printer to my laptop and didn't have a cable.  Ran out to purchase one and now I can't find where I was to continue.   I'm totally lost and frustrated.   I wanted to purchase an extended warranty but need to talk to a person like I used to and get this set up properly.  I tried calling but automated service and can't get to where I need to move forward?  ugh!!!

You do not need a cable to connect the printer and computer

 

I have shared the instructions to reach the phone support team in a private message

Hope this helps!
