hp all in one wireless printer does not save wifi password

[lrice13]

Every time I turn on my printer, I must re-enter the wifi password. This is frustrating because the keyboard is small and very finicky, so hard to correctly enter password. Having to do it each time I turn the printer on is maddening! How can I get the printer to save the password?

Hi @lrice13,

I'd like to help!

I understand you are been asked to enter the network password every time the printer is turned off and on.

Connect the printer to the Wi-Fi network (printers with a touchscreen)

Use the Wireless Setup Wizard from the printer control panel to connect the printer to your Wi-Fi network.

1. Place the printer near the network router.

2. Make sure paper is loaded in the main tray, and then turn on the printer.

3. From the Wireless  or Setup  menu, select Network setup or Settings, and then select Restore Network Settings.

4. Get the network name and password. Go to Find the wireless network password or PIN to connect an HP printer for more information.

5. From the Setup, Network, or Wireless settings menu, select Wireless Setup Wizard.

6. Select your network, and then enter the password.

   NOTE: 

   If the Wireless Setup Wizard is not listed, select Wi-Fi Protected Setup or WPS, select Push Button, and then follow the steps to connect to the network.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
