Help and tips for Wi-Fi and connectivity
If the software is unable to find your printer during setup, check the following conditions to resolve the issue.
| Potential Issue | Solution |
|---|
Printer Wi-Fi setup mode timed out
| If the status light is not purple, the printer might not be in Wi-Fi setup
mode. Restart setup mode: 1. If the control panel is not lit, press to exit
sleep mode. 2. Press and hold for 5 seconds and then release the button. All
control panel buttons will light up. 3. Press and at the same time once and
then release the buttons. The status light will purple. 4. Wait for one
minute. Close and reopen HP Smart, and then try connecting again.
Computer or mobile device too far from printer| Move your computer or mobile
device closer to the printer. Your device might be out of range of the
printer’s Wi-Fi signal.
Computer connected to a Virtual Private Network (VPN) or remote work network|
Disconnect from a VPN before installing HP Smart software. You can’t install
apps from the Microsoft Store when connected to a VPN. Connect to the VPN
again after finishing printer setup. Note: Consider your location and the
security of the Wi-Fi network before disconnecting from a VPN.
Wi-Fi turned off on computer (computer connected by Ethernet)| 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
Bluetooth and location services are turned off on your mobile device| If
setting up with a mobile device, turn on Bluetooth and location services. This
helps the software find your network and printer. Note: Your location is not
being determined and no location information is being sent to HP as part of
the setup process.
