Try here:

Comment

Presumably HP Smart works with a USB cable connection -- I've never seen it.

=================================

Not sure whether using the Embedded Web Server (EWS) to configure your Wireless IPv4 setup would balk at using a hyphen in the Wireless network password.

Might be worth trying...

Example

Example – EWS – IPv4

EWS > HP Document / How-to

Use the HP printer Embedded Web Server (EWS)

NOTE:  Find printer IP address

Section Open the EWS over a local network orientation

Ethernet

Open your Browser > Type / enter the Printer IP address into URL / Address bar

Tab Network > Wired (802.3) > IPv4 Configuration

Wireless

Open your Browser > Type / enter the Printer IP address into URL / Address bar

Tab Network > Wireless (802.11) > IPv4 Configuration

As Available:

Tab Network > Wireless (802.11) > Advanced

Network Interface on / off, Network SSID name, Security Settings, Passphrase / Password

Select and connect to the correct SSID / network name for the bandwidth you are using.

Note:   It is not mandatory that you use a manual / static IP address.  Doing so can improve stability.

“Alternate” EWS format (new printers) - sample

Open your Browser > Type / enter the Printer IP address into URL / Address bar

Section Network > Primary Ethernet > Check / Adjust Status and other tabs...

What else?

Not the same thing as standard Wireless, Wi-Fi Direct -- if supported on your printer and OS -- can be used to connect your printer to your computer using the printer's wireless radio.
