Hi @Gmamona,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

 

To check if your printer and your phone are connected to the same network, you can follow these steps:

Method 1: Check Network Settings on Printer

Printer Display Panel:

  • On your printer’s control panel, navigate to the network or wireless settings menu. This can vary depending on your printer model.
  • Look for an option that shows the current network connection. It should display the name (SSID) of the network it is connected to.

Print Network Configuration Page:

  • Many printers allow you to print a network configuration or status page directly from the printer’s control panel.
  • Look for an option such as "Network Settings," "Network Status," or "Print Network Configuration" in the printer’s menu.
  • Once printed, this page will show details about the printer’s network settings, including the IP address, subnet mask, and the name of the network (SSID) it is connected to.

Method 2: Check Network Settings on Phone

Wi-Fi Settings:

  • Open the Wi-Fi settings on your phone.
  • Look for the name (SSID) of the Wi-Fi network that your phone is currently connected to.

Compare with Printer’s Network:

  • Compare the name (SSID) of the Wi-Fi network displayed on your phone with the one shown on the printer’s network configuration page.
  • Ensure that both the phone and the printer are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. They should display the same network name.

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
