How to Wireless Setup your hp printer

HP WIRELESS PRINTER SETUP

To print wirelessly from a laptop, phone, or tablet, join an HP printer to a nearby Wi-Fi network.

Restore the printer’s Wi-Fi configuration mode.

Restoring Wi-Fi setup mode can get a printer ready for a Wi-Fi connection.

The printer enters Wi-Fi setup mode for roughly two hours after the settings are reset, making it discoverable while the HP software is being installed.

For the majority of touchscreen printers, choose Restore Network Settings from the Wireless or Setup menu after choosing Network setup or settings.

Most inkjet printers without a touchscreen: Press and hold the Wireless and Cancel buttons until the Power button flashes, and then wait for the Wireless light to flash.

For the majority of Laser printers without a touchscreen or menu, press and hold the Wireless button until the Attention and Power lights flash, or press and hold the Wireless and Cancel buttons until the Wireless light flashes (Laser NS, Neverstop). The printer might start up again.

For the majority of LaserJet printers without touchscreens, hold down the Wireless button while holding down the Attention light, and then wait for the Wireless light to flash.
