    • Advice

    • Some printers that don’t include a touch screen often have a “WPS” Wi-Fi connection button that you can press and put the printer into “pairing” mode. You can press the WPS button on the router for three seconds to pair the router and the network.
    • If you want to print but cannot connect the printer to Wi-Fi, you need to connect it manually.

    Warning

    • Printers of the same type can be completely different. If necessary, you should consult your printer’s manual for specific instructions.

    This wikiHow teaches you how to connect a supported HP printer to a wireless (Wi-Fi) network.
