How can I set up my HP Color Laserjet CP 4025 wirelessly in my home?

[cp4025formac]

Hello!

My friend gave me an old office printer of hers. The HP Color Laserjet CP 4025. I am trying to hook it up over Wifi but it seems to not be able to airprint. I also have a Mac Computer, I don't know if this is an issue? 

I tried to play with the IP Address and subnet mask but nothing is working. I have tried to look up tutorials online, nothing. I have tried to find any kind of support online. Crickets.

Does anyone have any experience with these kinds of printers and know how to connect them to wirelessly print? I am assuming they have to be able to seeing as this was a printer used in an office. 

Thank you so much!

Hi,

That printer model is too old for AirPrint and doesn't have a wireless. You will need to get something newer if you want to use mobile printing.

List of supported devices can be found here.

Thank you for your response. 

Isn’t it possible to print wirelessly without AirPrint? Like setting it up with an IP address? 

This was used for an office and I’m certain the computers were not all manually hooked up to the printer. 

I wonder what the process was to be able to get the printer to print using the Ip?

You can connect the printer with LAN cable on the wireless network router, but you will not be able to print with AirPrint because AirPrint is not supported on that old model.

Thank you so so much for your help! 

Quick question, when I hook in the LAN cable will I still have to put in the router information on the printer or will it print automatically? 

Thanks again!

I have the same problem but with my ipad and iPhone,  I was able to connect using my apple laptop,  I went to system preferences, printers and scanners, added the HP CP 22520 and it worked.  Easy. Cant do the same from my iphone or iPad
