Driver & wireless set up for Officejet 6000 on a Macbook Pro

[PG408]

I am trying to set up my Officejet 6000 as a wireless printer on my 2011 Mac Laptop. (OS 10.11 El Capitan) It has been working fine when hooked up to the USB cable, but I need it to be wireless now.

I can not find if there are new drivers. All searches on the website bring up no answers and bring up the same search page.

Assuming there are no new drivers needed, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the printer numerous times and can not find anything that will direct me to set up the wireless part. I need simple directions step by step to do this. I have limited computer background. I have run the HP Network Configuration Page and it shows there is no Active Connection Type.

I have located my IPV4 address, my Router address, and my MAC address. I don't know if these are what I need or how to find the correct addresses if these are wrong.

This shouldn't be this hard to figure out. I have spent way too much time on the website trying to find steps to make this work.

Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you.

I understand that you are facing issues with connection your HP Officejet 6000 Printer series - E609 to the wireless network.

Only HP Officejet 6000 (E609n) is a Wireless Printer and HP Officejet 6000 (E609a) Printer is not wireless.

Let's go through a few steps to troubleshoot this issue.
