A Beginner’s Guide to Setting Up Your HP DeskJet 2700 Printer on WiFi

Setting up your HP DeskJet 2700 printer on WiFi can seem daunting at first, especially for beginners. However, with the right guidance, you can have your printer connected to your wireless network in no time. This guide will walk you through the step-by-step process of getting your printer online and ready to print from anywhere in your home.

Step 1: Gather Necessary Information

Before you start the setup process, make sure you have the necessary information at hand. You will need your WiFi network name (SSID) and password. It’s also a good idea to have the printer plugged in and turned on during this process.

Step 2: Connect Your Printer to WiFi Using the Control Panel

On the HP DeskJet 2700 series printers, begin by navigating to the control panel. Press the ‘WiFi’ button until it starts blinking. Then, press and hold the ‘Information’ button for about five seconds until a printout is produced showing available networks. Look for your network name on this list.

Step 3: Use HP Smart App for Easier Setup

For an easier setup experience, consider downloading the HP Smart app on your smartphone or computer. Once installed, open the app and select ‘Set Up a New Printer.’ Follow prompts that include choosing your wireless network and entering its password.

Step 4: Complete Wireless Setup

After entering your WiFi credentials either through the control panel or via HP Smart app, if successful, you will notice that the wireless light stops blinking and remains steady—this indicates that your printer is now connected to WiFi.

Step 5: Test Your Connection

To ensure everything is set up correctly, print a test page from either a connected computer or mobile device using HP Smart App. If it prints successfully without any issues, congratulations. You are ready to enjoy wireless printing with ease.

Setting up an HP DeskJet 2700 printer on WiFi doesn’t have to be intimidating with these simple steps. With just a few minutes of setup time, you’ll be able to print from anywhere in your home without being tethered by cables.
