How to Set Up a Wireless HP Printer

You'll need a functional wireless router connected to a computer.

HP wireless printers can be set up in two ways, but either method will allow any computer connected to your network to access the HP wireless printer. The one-touch method requires a specialized router with Wi-Fi protected setup (WPS) and an integrated push button. If you set up the printer using the Wireless Setup wizard, you'll need to know your network name or SSID (Service Set Identifier), your WEP key and your WPA (Wi-Fi protected access) passphrase.

Wizard
