How to Connect a Printer to Wi-Fi

Most wireless printers can be connected through the network settings available on the printer itself. The names of individual options may differ depending on the device.

Connect Through the Printer Settings

  1. Switch on the printer and wait until it is ready.
  2. Open the printer's network or wireless settings.
  3. Select the option used to search for available Wi-Fi networks.
  4. Choose your wireless network from the displayed list.
  5. Enter the Wi-Fi password carefully.
  6. Confirm the information and allow the printer to establish the connection.
  7. Check the printer display for a connected status or wireless symbol.
Tip: Keep the printer reasonably close to the router while completing the initial wireless setup. A stronger signal can make the first connection easier to establish.

Using a WPS Connection

  1. Check whether your printer and router support WPS.
  2. Open the wireless settings on the printer.
  3. Select the WPS connection method.
  4. Press the WPS button on the router when prompted.
  5. Wait for the printer to confirm the wireless connection.

What to Check When the Wi-Fi Network Is Not Listed

If the printer cannot find your wireless network, review the basic network conditions before repeating the setup process.

Check the Wireless Environment

  • Make sure Wi-Fi is active on the router.
  • Move the printer closer to the router temporarily.
  • Confirm that the network name is visible to other devices.
  • Check whether the printer supports the wireless band being used.

Try the Connection Again

  • Restart the printer and router.
  • Open the printer's network menu again.
  • Search for wireless networks once more.
  • Enter the password again without changing its capitalization.
If the printer connects successfully but does not appear on your computer, the next step is usually to add the printer through your computer's printer settings.

Preparing for Wireless Printing

After the printer joins the network, make sure the computer or mobile device you want to print from can access the same network.

  • Confirm the printer shows an active wireless connection.
  • Keep the printer and computer connected to the intended network.
  • Check the printer list on your computer.
  • Send a small test print after adding the printer.
