Before you connect the HP printer to Wi-Fi Network, you'll need to make a few quick preparations to facilitate a quick and simple setup process.
Here, I have tried to include the possible options for Connect HP Printer to Wi-Fi Network.
- Open the HP Smart app on your mobile device.
- If you are using the HP Smart app for the first time, it will automatically try to detect your printer.
- or If this is not the first time then click the Add Printer option or the "plus" button on the main menu to detect the printer.
- When the printer is connected, you will see the connection type on the screen.
- Select "Wi-Fi."
- Follow the displayed steps to finish setup.
Once the setup is completed, you can start print test to the printer via your Wifi.
Ideally, most of this process would be automatic, but if the HP Smart app doesn't detect your printer, you may need to perform a quick network reset. Here's how you can do that.
- On your printer's touch screen, select either the "Wireless" or "Setup" options.
- Next , select "Network Settings".
- Select the "Restore Network Settings" option.
- Start again the HP Smart app on your Mobile device.
- Tap the Add Printer option or the "plus" button on the main menu to detect the printer.
- If your printer doesn't have a touch screen display, there may be a button combination you can press to trigger a network reset. Check HP's official help page for a list of reset combinations by model.
