how to connect printer to wifi

You can connect a printer to WiFi using the printer's built-in setup wizard, the WPS button on your router, a manufacturer's mobile app, or by connecting the printer to a computer via USB.

Wireless Setup Wizard. Navigate to the Network or Wireless settings on your printer's control panel, select Wireless Setup Wizard, choose your network name (SSID), and enter your WiFi password.
WPS Button Method. Press the WPS button on your router, then within two minutes, press the WPS or wireless button on your printer. The devices will automatically pair without requiring a password.
Mobile App Setup. Download the manufacturer's app (e.g., HP Smart, Canon PRINT) on your phone or tablet. These apps often use Bluetooth to detect the printer and guide you through transferring your WiFi credentials.
USB Cable Method. Connect the printer to your computer with a USB cable, run the manufacturer's software, and follow the prompts to configure the wireless settings. You can remove the cable once the setup is complete.
