Change from USB to wireless network connection
If you initially set up your printer using a USB connection to your computer, you can switch the connection to
a wireless network connection by following these steps.
Share your printer with multiple computers
If you already have your printer connected to your wireless network and want to share it with other computers
connected to the same network, you need to install the printer software on the other computers. During the

screen to finish installing the printer software.
To change from USB to wireless connection:
1. From your computer, click Start > All Programs >
HP > HP Photosmart 6520 series >
Printer Setup & Software.
2. Click Convert a USB connected printer to
wireless. Keep your USB cable connected
until prompted to disconnect it.

To change from USB to wireless connection:
1. From your printer’s control panel, touch the
Wireless button.
2. Touch Wireless Setup Wizard.
3. Follow the steps in the Wireless Setup Wizard to
connect the printer.

Packard/Device Utilities to change the connection
to this printer to wireless.
Connect wirelessly to the printer without a router
HP Wireless Direct allows your Wi-Fi devices (for example: computers or smartphones) to print directly to
your printer wirelessly, without a wireless router, from your Wi-Fi enabled devices. To set up and use
Wireless Direct:
1. From your printer’s control panel, touch the Wireless icon.
2. Touch Settings.
3. Touch Wireless Direct, touch On (No Security) or On (With Security).
Note: If you turn on security, only users with the password will be able to print wirelessly to the printer.
If you turn off security, anyone with a Wi-Fi device within Wi-Fi range of the printer will be able to connect
to the printer. HP recommends that you turn on security for Wireless Direct.
4. Touch Display Name to display the Wireless Direct name.
5. Touch Display Password to display the Wireless Direct password if you have the Wireless Direct security
on.
6. From your wireless computer or mobile device, turn on the Wi-Fi radio, search for and connect to the
Wireless Direct name (for example: HP-Print-xx-Photosmart6520). Then print as you normally do from
your computer or mobile device.
If you have Wireless Direct security on, enter the Wireless Direct password when prompted.
Note:
• If you want to print from a mobile device, you need to have a print application on your mobile device.
• If you want to print from your computer, you need to install the printer software. During the software
installation, on the screen showing connection type, select Wireless, select your printer when it
appears in the list, and then finish the software installation.

network.
