In 1988, HP introduced the first DeskJet. It included a built-in cut sheet feeder, 2 ppm, and 300 dpi. This was followed by the DeskJet Plus in 1989. It offered a landscape printing ability.
Place the printer and the computer or mobile device near the Wi-Fi router. Put the printer in WPS connection mode. Most printers with a touchscreen control panel: Open the Setup, Network, or Wireless settings menu, select Wi-Fi Protected Setup, select Push Button, and then select Start.
Add a printer using Wi-Fi Direct: On your printer, make sure Wi-Fi Direct is turned on. On your mobile device, tap All printers > Add printer, and then tap HP Print Service or HP Inc. Tap Directly to the Printer, select the name of your printer with DIRECT in the name, and then tap OK.
Restart the printer and the computer or mobile device to clear possible error conditions. Restore Wi-Fi setup mode. Most printers with a touchscreen display or menu: Open the Wireless or Setup menu, select Network setup or Settings, and then select Restore Network Settings.
A no-brainer
More affordable than ever, compact, and boasting new features and connectivity, the HP DeskJet is the right printer for all your in-home needs. Plus, you can save on an HP DeskJet when you buy one with a new HP PC.
From anywhere, to anywhere. It`s not just the HP DeskJet printer itself that`s versatile. With optional WiFi and smartphone connectivity, you can scan from wherever you are, right to your smartphone or tablet, and send to the printer.
The WPS does not handle the connection of Wifi but it handles the data sending between the client device(s) and the router. The WPS is a password-protected wireless network that supports the WPA (Wifi Protected Access Personal) or WPA2 (Wifi Protected Access2 Personal) security protocols.
Instead of adding the printer to the existing network, you may attempt to print via Wi-Fi Direct. In case this does not work as well and you refuse to use HP Smart, it`s on you to bring the right drivers and install them manually.
Connecting using a network key or PIN
If your printer doesn`t have WPS, you`ll probably have to enter a `network key` – a series of numbers and letters – into the printer using the function buttons and screen on the printer in order to establish the connection between your printer and router.
Restart the printer and the computer or mobile device to clear possible error conditions. Restore Wi-Fi setup mode. Most printers with a touchscreen display or menu: Open the Wireless or Setup menu, select Network setup or Settings, and then select Restore Network Settings.
