3. Choose Your Network:

4. Enter Wi-Fi Password:
- When prompted, enter your Wi-Fi network password using the printer’s control panel.
- Use the on-screen keyboard to input the password.
5. Connect:

- The printer will attempt to connect to the Wi-Fi network. This might take a few moments.
6. Confirm Connection:
- Once connected, your printer will display a confirmation message.
- You can also print a network configuration report to verify the connection.
7. Install Printer Software (if needed):
- On your computer, download and install the latest printer software from the HP Support website.
- During installation, choose the “Wireless” connection type.
8. Test Print:
