2. If it shows Wireless O, touch
(Settings) and turn wireless on.
• Conrm that your printer is connected to your network.

(Wireless).
2. Touch
(Settings).
3. Touch Print Reports, and then touch Wireless Test Report to print the wireless test report.
4. Check the top of the report to see if something failed during the test.
– See the DIAGNOSTICS RESULTS section for all tests that were performed, to determine whether or not your
printer passed.
– From the CURRENT CONFIGURATION section, nd out the Network Name (SSID) to which your printer is
currently connected. Make sure that the printer is connected to the same network as your computer.
Note: If your computer is connected to a Virtual Private Network (VPN), temporarily disconnect from the VPN
before proceeding with the installation. After installation you will need to disconnect from the VPN to access
your printer over your home network.
• Make sure security software is not blocking communication over your network.
Security software, such as rewalls, can block communication between your computer and printer when
installing over a network. If your printer cannot be found, temporarily disable your rewall and check if the
problem goes away. For more help and tips on security software, go to: www.hp.com/go/wpc-rewall.
• Restart components of the wireless network.
Turn o the router and the printer, and then turn them back on in this order: router rst and then printer.
Sometimes, turning o devices and then turning them back on helps resolve network communication issues.
If you still cannot connect, turn o the router, the printer, and the computer, and then turn them back on in this
order: router rst, then printer, and then computer.
Note: If the wireless connection cannot be made, the printer can also be connected to the network using an
Ethernet cable.

If you want to share your printer with multiple computers on your network

network, you can share your printer with other computers on the same network. For each additional computer, you
only need to install the HP printer software.
