Wireless setup

Need networking help?

During installation of the HP printer software or the HP Smart app, you are guided through setting up the printer on 

your wireless network (only 2.4 GHz supported). 

To learn about preparing your wireless network, setting up or reconfiguring your printer, and troubleshooting, visit

.

Tip

: Press   (the 

Information

 button) on the control panel for three seconds to print a wireless quick start guide.

If connecting your printer to your device through a wireless network was unsuccessful

1.  Restore the network settings on your printer and try to connect again.

To restore the network settings, press and hold 

 (the 

Wireless

 button) and   (the 

Cancel

 button) for three 

seconds. After   (the 

Power

 button) blinks for a few seconds, the printer will be in setup mode.

2.  If your router supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) mode, try to connect through WPS mode.

To connect your printer through WPS mode with a router that has a WPS button: 

a. 

Press and hold 

 (the 

Wireless

 button) on your printer for more than three seconds to start WPS mode. The 

Wireless

 light starts blinking.

b. 

Press the WPS button on your router. When the printer connects successfully, the 

Wireless

 light stops 

blinking and stays on.

3.  Make sure your printer is connected to the same network as your computer or mobile device.

To check the network to which your printer is currently connected:

a. 

Press 

 (the 

Wireless

 button) and   (the 

Information

 button) at the same time to print the wireless 

network test report.

b. 

In the wireless network test report, under the 

CURRENT CONFIGURATION

 section, check 

Network Name 

(SSID)

. This shows the name of the network to which your printer is connected.

4.  Restart the components of the wireless network.

Sometimes, turning off the devices and then turning them back on helps resolve network communication issues. 

Turn off the router, printer, and your computer or mobile device, and then turn them back on in this order: router 

first, then printer, and then your computer or mobile device.
