Connect my laptop by wify to both printer and internet

[er4n]

Hello, do I have an option to connect my laptop by wify to both printer and internet instead of, for example, download a document, then connect the printer, then print and then connect again to the internet?

Thank you!

@er4n Welcome to HP Community!

I understand that you would like to connect the printer wirelessly. 

Do not worry. I will help you in this matter.

Connect an HP printer to a local Wi-Fi network to wirelessly print from a personal computer, smartphone, or tablet.

Step 1: Connect the printer to the Wi-Fi network

Before you can wirelessly print, connect the printer to the same local wireless network your computer or mobile device is on. These steps also apply if you changed your internet service provider or installed a new router and need to reconnect the printer.

NOTE: 

Wireless printing does not work over limited guest networks in places such as college dorms and hotels. Use a USB cable or connect with Wi-Fi Direct instead.

1. If you received an Enter the WPS PIN for your printer message, click Cancel in the window, and then continue with these steps.

2. Place the printer near the Wi-Fi router.

3. Turn on the printer and make sure ink cartridges are installed and paper is loaded in the main tray.

4. Connect the printer to the local network.

   Printers with a touchscreen control panel:

   1. On the printer, select Restore Network Settings (or similar) from the Wireless , Settings , or Restore Settings menu.

   2. Get the network name (SSID) and password. Go to Finding Your Wireless Password for more information.

   3. Select Wireless Setup Wizard from the Wireless, Settings, or Network Setup menu, and then select your network name and 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.

   Printers without a touchscreen control panel:

   1. On the printer, press and hold the Wireless button  for five seconds or until the light starts blinking. For Tango printers, press the Wireless button and the Power button on the rear of the printer until the blue bar flashes.

   2. Within two minutes, press and hold the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) button on the router until the connection process begins. The light on the printer stops flashing when the connection completes.

      If your router does not have a WPS button, continue with these steps.

   3. Download and install the HP Smart app from 123.hp.com (Android, iOS), HP Smart - Microsoft Store (in English), or from HP Smart - Mac App Store (in English).

   4. Prepare the printer for a wireless network connection.

I think you didn't understand me, I meant I would like to connect the printer wirelessly while my internet is connected wirelessly - is this what you answer for? (sorry if I misunderstand).
