Help and tips for Wi-Fi and connectivity
If the software is unable to find your printer during setup or post setup, check the following conditions to
resolve the issue.
Reset Wi-Fi (setup mode)
During initial setup:
If the blue Wi-Fi light is not blinking, the printer
might not be in Wi-Fi setup mode. Check the
control panel and select "Resume Setup",
if prompted.
During printer use, Wi-Fi disconnects:
1. On the control panel, touch Menu > Settings > Network. Scroll to Restore Network Settings and
touch Restore.
2. Wait for printer to scan for Wi-Fi networks. Choose your network, enter the password, and connect.
3. If applicable, open HP software and add the printer again.

Disconnect from a VPN before installing
HP software. You can't install apps from the Microsoft
Store when connected to a VPN. Connect to the VPN
again after finishing printer setup.
If your computer is connected by Ethernet, turn on
the computer's Wi-Fi while setting up the printer.
Disconnect the Ethernet cable temporarily to complete
setup over Wi-Fi.
If setting up with a mobile device, turn on Bluetooth
and location services. This helps the software find your
