HP Deskjet 3056a Wireless Setup

Hello, I would just like to know if it is possible to connect my wireless printer with my portable hotspot wifi. My wifi does not have a router so I am clueless as to how to connect through WPS. Thank you in advance for your time.

Hi @GabriellaModest 

Since your WiFi does not have a router, I am not certain this will work, but here goes nothin'

Please try the following steps;

1. Restore the network defaults on the printer by pushing the wireless button, going to settings, and then restore defaults. The wireless button should then start flashing, this means it is now in autowireless mode.
2. Connect your mobile device/computer to the network that the printer is broadcasting. It is usually HP-setup-3056a and then part of the hardware address. The wireless light will still be flashing on the printer at this point, this is normal since this is not an actual adhoc connection.
3. Load up the Embedded Web Server (EWS) in the browser on your mobile device/computer. The default IP for autowireless is 192.168.223.1.
4. Go to the network tab along the top of the EWS.
5. Click on Wireless Setup Wizard along the lefthand side to begin configuring the printer.

You have now completed the Wireless configuration, follow the next 3 steps to start printing.

1. The blue wireless light will go solid, put the mobile device/computer back on your own network.
2. Add the printer to the computer, or in the case of a mobile device no need to add, it will now be visible.
3. Print 

I hope this helps.
