Modern multifunctional devices and printers can differ in a number of technical characteristics. When working with Helwett Packard Deskjet series printers, keep in mind that these devices can operate without a physical connection to a computer.
Instructions
Step 1
First, select the type of connection and download the software if you do not have the appropriate drive. You can download the application from the official HP website. Install the software. To do this, run the application file that you downloaded from the site.
Step 2
After completing this procedure, restart your computer or laptop. During the installation of the program, it is better to connect the printer to the PC using a USB cable. If you want to constantly use Wi-Fi to connect to the printing device, you can skip this step.
Step 3
Further, there are two options for connecting the printer to the laptop. If you are using a router to connect to the Internet, connect the printer to this device. This can be done using the WPS function or by selecting the direct connection mode. In the second case, you will have to open the web interface of the printing device by connecting the computer to it via a USB cable.
Step 4
After connecting the printing device to the router or establishing a direct printer-laptop connection, launch the application downloaded from the official website. Wait while the program detects new hardware. Follow the instructions in the step-by-step instructions for installing the device.
Step 5
Make sure that the printer is ready to use notification appears in the HP Solution Center menu. Please note that this notice must refer specifically to the wireless network, and not to the USB interface. Now restart your laptop and printer. If the equipment then disconnects from the router, reconnect the printer and set it to a static IP address. Use an address that is within the allowed range to avoid problems connecting to the router.
