@Shivaramanpan, Welcome to the HP Support Community – it’s great to have you here!

I appreciate you taking the time to share your question. I'm more than happy to assist with this and provide a solution that works for you.

I understand you're having trouble connecting your HP printer to Wi-Fi and printing from your phone. Let's walk through the steps to get this working smoothly.

Reset the Printer’s Network Settings

This ensures you're starting fresh.

  • On most HP printers, press and hold the Wireless and Cancel buttons together for 5 seconds until the wireless light blinks.
  • Alternatively, go to the printer’s Settings > Network Setup > Restore Network Settings.

Reconnect Using HP Smart App

The HP Smart app is the easiest way to connect and print from your phone.

Download HP Smart:

Connect to Wi-Fi:

  1. Open HP Smart and tap Set Up a New Printer.
  2. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect your printer to your Wi-Fi network.
  3. Make sure your phone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network you want the printer to use.

Add the Printer to HP Smart

Once connected:

  • Tap Add Printer in the app.
  • Select your printer from the list.
  • If it doesn’t show up, tap + and follow prompts to manually add it.

Try a Test Print

  • Tap Print Documents or Photos in HP Smart.
  • Select a file and try printing.

Troubleshooting Tips:

  • Ensure your router is broadcasting on 2.4 GHz (some HP printers don’t support 5 GHz).
  • Restart your printer, phone, and router.
  • Move the printer closer to the router during setup.
  • Disable any VPN or firewall temporarily on your phone.

I hope your issue is now resolved. If not, feel free to reply and we’ll continue helping until everything’s sorted!
