Power On the Printer: Ensure that your HP printer is powered on and properly initialized. You should see lights indicating power and connectivity on the printer's control panel.
Connect via USB (Wired Connection):
For a wired connection, plug one end of the USB cable into the USB port on your printer and the other end into an available USB port on your computer or laptop.
Once connected, your computer should automatically detect the printer. If not, wait a few moments for the computer to recognize the new device.
Connect via Ethernet (Wired Network Connection):
If your printer supports Ethernet connectivity, connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the printer's Ethernet port and the other end to an available Ethernet port on your router or network switch.
After connecting, your printer should automatically obtain an IP address from your network router.
