Hi @HugoMoreno 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

To set your USB printer to wireless so that you can use it over Wi-Fi, you'll need to follow the steps below. The process can vary slightly depending on the printer's make and model, but here are general guidelines you can follow:

1. Check if Your Printer Supports Wireless Connectivity

• Some printers that originally connect via USB don’t have built-in wireless functionality. In that case, you may need to purchase a wireless print server or a Wi-Fi adapter that can enable wireless printing.
• If your printer does support wireless, follow these steps:

2. Connect Printer to the Network

If your printer has a Wi-Fi feature (built-in), you can connect it to the wireless network by following these steps:

Using the Printer's Control Panel (Most Common Method)

1. Turn on the printer.
2. Go to the Printer's Settings Menu:
   • Navigate to the Wireless or Network Settings section on the printer’s control panel. This might be found under Setup or Wireless Settings.
3. Choose Wireless Setup Wizard:
   • Select Wireless Setup Wizard. This option will allow the printer to scan for available networks.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
