Steps
Turn on the printer and place it within range of your router. Check that the Wi-Fi light is blinking, which means the printer is in setup mode.
For the WPS method, press the WPS button on your router until its light blinks. Then press and hold the wireless button on the printer for about 3 seconds.
Wait up to 2 minutes for the printer's wireless light to stay solid. A solid light means the printer joined your network.
If your router has no WPS button, install the HP Smart app on your phone or tablet and open it.
Tap Add Printer and pick your HP LaserJet model from the list. Choose Set Up a New Printer when asked.
Select your Wi-Fi network, type the password, and let the app send the settings to the printer. Keep the phone close to the printer during this step.
If the app cannot find the printer, use the direct method. On the printer, press and hold the wireless button until the light blinks, then connect your phone or computer to the printer's own network name, such as HP-Setup.
Open a browser and go to 192.168.223.1 to reach the printer's setup page. Enter your home Wi-Fi name and password and save the settings.
Reconnect your device to your normal Wi-Fi network. Print a test page from the HP Smart app or your computer to confirm the setup worked.
Tips and common mistakes
Use the 2.4 GHz band if your router splits bands, since many HP LaserJet models will not join a 5 GHz network.
Keep the printer and phone within a few feet during setup so the app can find the printer.
If the wireless light keeps blinking, restart the router and printer and run the setup again.
Write down the printer's IP address from the test page so you can reach its settings later.
Questions
What if my router has no WPS button?
Use the HP Smart app method or the direct connection method. Both let you enter your Wi-Fi password manually without WPS.
Why does the printer not see my Wi-Fi network?
The printer may only support 2.4 GHz networks. Check your router settings and connect to the 2.4 GHz band, then run setup again.
Can I set up the printer from a phone only?
Yes. The HP Smart app works on phones and tablets and can send your Wi-Fi details to the printer without a computer.
