How to Connect Your HP LaserJet M15w to Wi-Fi: A Complete Walkthrough
Setting up your HP LaserJet M15w printer for wireless printing can seem daunting, but with the right guidance, it can be a smooth and straightforward process. This article will walk you through each step necessary to connect your printer to Wi-Fi, ensuring that you can start printing from anywhere in your home or office.
Step 1: Prepare Your Printer and Network
Before beginning the setup process, ensure that your HP LaserJet M15w printer is powered on and that you have access to a wireless network. Make sure you know the Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password, as you’ll need this information during setup. It’s best if your router is nearby for an easy connection.
Step 2: Use the HP Smart App
To set up your HP LaserJet M15w wirelessly, download the free HP Smart app from either the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Once installed, open the app and create or log into your HP account. The app will guide you through connecting the printer to your wireless network.
Step 3: Connect via Wireless Setup Wizard
If you’d prefer not to use an app, you can connect directly using the Wireless Setup Wizard available on your printer’s control panel. Press the ‘Wireless’ button on your printer, navigate through settings using arrows until you find “Wireless Setup Wizard,” then select it. Follow prompts to find and select your Wi-Fi network.
Step 4: Install Printer Software
After connecting the printer to Wi-Fi successfully, you’ll need to install software on any devices you’d like to print from. Visit the official HP website, search for “HP LaserJet M15w software,” and download drivers compatible with Windows or Mac systems as necessary.
Step 5: Test Your Connection
Once everything is set up and installed correctly on both ends—your printer and computer/device—it’s time for a test print. Open any document or image from which you’d like to print; select ‘Print,’ choose ‘HP LaserJet M15w’ as your device, confirm settings are correct, then hit ‘Print.’ If all goes well, congratulations. You’re connected wirelessly.
Connecting your HP LaserJet M15w wirelessly allows for greater flexibility in managing print jobs without being tethered by cables. Whether you’re working from home or at a small business setting up this feature is beneficial in enhancing productivity. If issues arise during this process don’t hesitate to consult support resources available on HP’s website for further assistance.
