Change current printer connection from usb to wireless

[IamPennyLayne]

I installed this printer with a USB connection on my first laptop at home.  Now I am in a new place and I set up my printer the same way BUT now that we have a wireless router I want to change the printer connection.  It is proving way too time consuming and frustrating -- I cannot find anything on YouTube or anywhere else that will go over how to CHANGE a connection.  All I find are initial install instructions that tell you to "take a left" (before plugging in the USB) if you want to make it a wireless connection.

It's got to be simpler than this, folks, and I'm at a loss.  My printer is ON, the wireless button is FLASHING, and I'm still connected to USB because that's all my laptop will "see" to print.  

HELP!  Thanks in advance.  TLP

Hi @IamPennyLayne,

Follow below steps to convert a USB to wireless connection on a Windows PC:

Change the connection type with the HP Printer Setup & Software utility or with the HP Smart app for Windows 10. Leave the USB cable connected until you are prompted to disconnect it.

• HP Printer Setup & Software utility: Search Windows for 'HP', and then click the name of your printer in the results to open HP Printer Assistant. Click Utilities or Tools in the top menu bar, click Printer Setup & Software or Device Setup & Software, and then click Convert a USB connected printer to wireless to launch the utility.

• HP Smart app: On the app home screen, look for a Make printing easier by connecting your printer wirelessly message at the top of the window. If it displays, click Learn More to start the guided conversion.

  note:

  If the message does not display, use the method to convert the connection through the HP Printer Setup & Software utility.
