Basic wireless troubleshooting

NOTE: If you have already configured the printer for wireless connection but the wireless light is still

blinking, restart components of the wireless network.

To restart the components, turn off the router and the printer, and then turn them back on in this

order: router first and then the printer. If you still are unable to connect, turn off the router, printer, and

your computer. Sometimes, turning off the power and then turning it back on recovers from a network

communication issue.

NOTE: If you have not configured the printer for wireless connection, use the HP software to

complete the setup. For more information, see Set up the printer using the embedded web server

(EWS) on page 145.

Perform the following steps in the order presented.

TIP: If you are using a computer running Windows, use the HP Print and Scan Doctor to help

diagnose and get assistance in installing and using HP printers on home network. To use this tool,

visit the HP Wireless Printing Center www.hp.com/go/wirelessprinting, and then click Print and Scan

Doctor in the Quick Links section.

Step 1 - Make sure the wireless (802.11) light is turned on

The Wireless light in the printer control panel indicates the status of the wireless capabilities.

To turn on the printer wireless capabilities

Press the (Wireless) button to turn on the printer wireless capabilities.

NOTE: If your printer supports Ethernet networking, make sure that an Ethernet cable has not

been connected to the printer. Connecting an Ethernet cable turns off the printer wireless

capabilities.
