Set up wireless (802.1 1) communication

Complete the following steps in the
order listed to establish a wireless
connection to the printer.
Step 1: Install software for your printer
To set up wireless communication, run the installation
program from the HP software CD provided with the
printer. The installation program installs the software
and creates a wireless connection.
Note: Before you set up wireless communication,
make sure the printer hardware is set up. For
more information, see the setup poster that came
with the printer or instructions on the printer's
control panel display.
Follow the instructions for your operating system.
1. Place the HP software CD into the computer,
and then follow the onscreen instructions.
Note: If the firewall software on your
computer displays any messages during the
installation, select the "always permit/allow"
option in the messages. Selecting this option
allows the software to install successfully on
your computer.
What is my wireless network name and password?
While you are installing the software, you will be
prompted to enter the wireless network name (also
called an "SSID") and a wireless password:
•
The wireless network name is the name of your
wireless network.
•
Depending on the level of security required,
your wireless network might use either a WPA
key or WEP passphrase.
If you have not changed the wireless network name
or the wireless password since setting up your
wireless network, you can sometimes find them on
the back or side of the wireless router.
In addition, if you are using a computer running
Windows, HP provides a tool called HP Home
Network Diagnostic Utility that can help retrieve
this information for some systems. To use this tool,
visit the HP Wireless Printing Center
(www.hp.com/go/wirelessprinting), and then

onscreen instructions.
•
Mac OS X: Double-click the HP Installer icon on
the software CD, and then follow the onscreen
instructions.
Note: If prompted, temporarily connect the
printer to the computer with a USB cable.
While connected, the computer sends the
wireless settings to the printer. After these
settings are sent, the installation program will
prompt you to disconnect the USB cable.

password.
click Network Diagnostic Utility in the Quick Links
section. (At this time, this tool might not available in
all languages.)
If you cannot find the wireless network name and
password or cannot remember this information,
see the documentation available with your
computer or with the wireless router. If you still
cannot find this information, contact your network
administrator or the person who set up the wireless
network.
For more information about the network
connections types, the wireless network name,

WEP key), see the user guide.
