What if the printer did not connect to the network?

Check for network issues and review setup requirements if the printer failed to connect.

• Check the network connection: Move the printer and computer or mobile device closer to the WI-Fi router, and then check if
  the signal quality improved. Try opening a website to see if the internet connection is working properly. If Wi-Fi is slow

  a ready state. Sometimes the printer status might display Offline when it is actually ready.

• Restart the printer: Restarting the printer can clear possible error conditions and restore the Wi-Fi connection.

• Print a Wireless Test Report: Search the HP Customer Support website for your printer model, and then search for self test page to find the document on how to print and evaluate the report.

What if my printer is not found or the connection failed during USB setup?

Check the USB cable for damage and recommended length, and then restart your printer and computer.

1. Turn off the printer and the computer.

2. Disconnect the USB cable from the computer and printer, and then inspect the cable.

   • If the cable is damaged or longer than 3 m (9 ft 10 in), replace it.

   • If the cable is undamaged and shorter than 3 m (9 ft 10 in), connect the cable to a different USB port on the computer. The
     port should be USB 2.0 or greater. If you are using a USB hub or docking station, connect the cable directly to the computer.

3. Connect the cable to the printer.

4. Turn on the computer, and then wait for the start up process to complete.

5. Turn on the printer, and then add the printer (Mac) or wait for the computer to install the new device (Windows).

What if my printer is not found or the wired network connection fails?

Make sure you are using an undamaged Ethernet cable, check for a green light near the Ethernet port on the printer, and then
print a report to verify the connection.

1. Turn off the printer, and then disconnect the Ethernet cable from the router and the printer.

2. Check the cable for damage, and then verify that it is an Ethernet cable and not a phone cable.

   Note:

   Ethernet and phone cables look similar, but Ethernet cables are usually bigger and have eight visible wires on the connector.

3. Reconnect the cable to a different Ethernet or LAN port on the router, and then connect the other end to the printer’s Ethernet
   port.

4. Turn on the printer.

5. Check the lights on the printer’s Ethernet port to make sure the connection is successful. The green light should be steady,
   and the orange activity light should blink.

6. Print a Wireless Network Test Results or Network Configuration report.

   • Inkjet printers with a control panel menu: Open the Wireless, Network Settings, or Setup menu to locate the list of available reports.

   • Most inkjet printers without a control panel menu: Press the Wireless and Information buttons at the same time, or press the Wireless and Start Copy Black buttons at the same time.

   • LaserJet printers: Press and hold the Wireless button for 10 seconds or until the Ready light blinks, or go to the Wireless menu and select Wireless Network Test.
