Wireless Setup

The Install Network Printer Wizard sets up your wireless printer to communicate on your wireless network.

Your printer gets its ability to communicate wirelessly when you attach an HP Jetdirect wireless print server to it. (We refer to that combination of printer and print server as a "wireless printer" in these help files.) The print server comes from the factory with a standard, "factory default" wireless configuration. This configuration isn't the same as your wireless network's configuration, so initially the printer can't talk on your network. The Wizard helps you install your network's configuration on the wireless printer, and then the printer can talk on your network.
