Hi @Cmitchell1224 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

Connecting your HP printer to a network is straightforward. 

Here’s how you can do it:

1. Use the HP Smart App

• Download the HP Smart App from 123.hp.com or your app store.
• Open the app and select Set Up a New Printer.
• Follow the guided steps to connect your printer to the Wi-Fi network.

 

2. Wireless Setup Wizard

• If your printer has a touchscreen, use the Wireless Setup Wizard:
  • Open the Setup, Network, or Wireless Settings menu on the printer.
  • Select Wireless Setup Wizard and follow the prompts to connect to your Wi-Fi network.

 

3. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)

• If your router supports WPS:
  • Press the WPS button on your router.
  • On the printer, go to Wireless Settings and select Wi-Fi Protected Setup.
  • Choose Push Button and follow the instructions.

 

4. Restore Wi-Fi Setup Mode

• If the printer is not found during setup, restore Wi-Fi setup mode:
  • For printers with a touchscreen: Open the Wireless or Setup menu, select Network Setup, and then choose Restore Network Settings.
  • For printers without a touchscreen: Follow the button press instructions in the printer manual.

 

5. Connect via USB

• If Wi-Fi is unavailable, you can connect the printer to your computer using a USB cable and set up the network connection through the HP Smart App.
