The process of setting up an HP printer begins with unboxing the device, removing protective packaging, and inserting the ink or toner cartridges. After ensuring the printer is physically prepared, plug it into a power source and turn it on. For wireless models, connect the printer to your Wi-Fi network by either using the printer’s built-in control panel or the HP Smart app, which can guide you through connecting to your home network. Once connected to Wi-Fi, the printer is ready to communicate with other devices on the same network.123.hp.com/setup
The next step is installing the necessary printer drivers and software on your computer. This can be done by downloading the latest drivers from the HP website or using the automatic installation process provided by your operating system. After the drivers are installed, perform a test print to ensure everything is functioning correctly. For added convenience, the HP printer can be connected to mobile devices through the HP Smart app or via AirPrint and Google Cloud Print, allowing wireless printing from smartphones and tablets as well.
