Basic wireless troubleshooting
Perform the following steps in the order presented.
NOTE: If this is the first time you are setting up the wireless connection, and you
are using the HP software included with the printer, make sure that the USB cable
is connected to the printer and the computer.
Step 1 - Make sure the wireless (802.11) light is turned on
If the blue light near the printer's wireless button is not lit, the wireless capabilities
might not have been turned on. To turn on wireless, touch right arrow
, touch
Network, touch Wireless, touch Wireless Radio, and then select Yes.
NOTE: If your printer supports Ethernet networking, make sure that an Ethernet
cable has not been connected to the printer. Connecting an Ethernet cable turns
off the printer's wireless capabilities.
Step 2 - Restart components of the wireless network
Turn off the router and the printer, and then turn them back on in this order: router first
and then the printer. If you still are unable to connect, turn off the router, printer, and
your computer. Sometimes, turning off the power and then turning it back on recovers
a network communication issue.
