Hi @RangeRider44,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

To help you set up and use your HP DeskJet 4252e All-In-One Printer, follow these steps.

 

Unbox the Printer

  • Remove the printer and all components from the packaging.
  • Make sure you have:
    • The printer
    • Power cord
    • Setup cartridges (usually included)
    • Documentation

Power Up the Printer

  • Plug the power cord into the printer and an electrical outlet.
  • Press the Power button to turn the printer on.

Install Ink Cartridges

  • Open the printer's cartridge access door.
  • Wait for the carriage to stop moving.
  • Unpack the ink cartridges that came with the printer.
  • Insert them into the appropriate slots (color in the left slot, black in the right).
  • Close the access door.

Load Paper

  • Open the paper tray at the bottom of the printer.
  • Adjust the paper width guides and insert plain white paper.
  • Close the tray and ensure it is securely in place.

Install Printer Software

  • On your computer, go to the HP Smart App website or your device's app store (Windows, macOS, Android, iOS).
  • Download and install the HP Smart App.
  • Open the app and sign in or create an HP account.
  • Follow the on-screen instructions to detect and add your HP DeskJet 4252e to your device.
  • The app will guide you through connecting the printer to your WiFi network.

Connect the Printer to WiFi

  • Follow the instructions in the HP Smart App to connect your printer to your WiFi network.
  • You may need to temporarily connect your printer to your computer via USB during the setup (the app will guide you).
  • Once connected, your printer should be accessible wirelessly for printing.

Test Printing and Scanning

  • After setup, try printing a test page to ensure the printer is working correctly.
  • You can also test the scanning function by using the HP Smart App to scan a document.

Using the Printer

  • Printing: Send documents to print from any app or program on your device.
  • Copying: Place the document on the scanner glass and use the control panel buttons to select copy options.
  • Scanning: Open the HP Smart App, choose the "Scan" option, and follow the instructions.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
