HP Deskjet 3520 Printers - Wireless Printer Setup (Windows)

This document is for HP Deskjet 3520, 3521, 3522, 3524, 3526, and Deskjet Ink Advantage 3525 e-All-in-One printers.

To set up an HP printer on a wireless (Wi-Fi) network, install the print driver and software from the HP website. When prompted during the installation, select Wireless as the connection type.

Step 1: Prepare for installation

Before setting up the printer on your wireless network, gather the required items, and then check the printer and computer connections.

Gather the following items:
- Network name: The network name is the SSID.
- Network password (WEP key or WPA security passphrase)
- A computer connected to your wireless network
- Internet access (recommended): HP recommends broadband Internet access such as cable or DSL.
- Your wireless-capable printer: Place your printer close to the computer during the installation.
- USB cable: The installer prompts you when to connect the USB cable.
Make sure the printer, router, and computer are all turned on, and that the computer is connected to the same wireless network to which you are connecting the printer.
Disconnect any USB or Ethernet cables from the printer.

Step 2: Restore the default network settings

Prepare the printer for wireless printing by restoring the default network settings.

Press the Wireless button to access the Wireless Settings menu.
Select Restore to Default, and then confirm the selection to restore the settings.

Step 3: Download and install the driver

Go to 123.hp.com. This guided service automatically finds the correct driver or app for your computer operating system version or mobile device type. Follow the instructions to download and install the driver or app. During the installation, you are prompted to set up the connection to the printer.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Review these frequently asked questions on setting up the wireless network connection.

What if I do not know my wireless network name or password?

Go to Find Your Wireless WEP, WPA, WPA2 Password (Windows) for methods to look up your network name and password information.

What can I do to troubleshoot network or printer connection issues?

Download and run HP Print and Scan Doctor

to automatically diagnose and resolve printer hardware and connection issues.

Use these recommendations and procedures to troubleshoot and avoid wireless connectivity issues.

Restart the printer and the computer: Restarting the computer and the printer can clear error conditions.
Confirm the printer connection and network name: On the printer, make sure the blue light next to the Wireless icon is on and steady. Open the Wireless network menu to make sure the printer is connected to the same network as your computer.
Move the printer and router closer together: Move the printer and the computer closer to your wireless router, to within 6 ft (1.8 m). Wireless signals are weaker at greater distances between the printer and the router.
Manually connect the printer to the network: Many HP printers have a Wireless Setup Wizard on the printer control panel network or wireless settings menus. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect the printer to the network.
Restart the router: If you are experiencing a slow or intermittent wireless connection, restart your router. Consult your router manufacturer, Internet service provider, or network administrator for instructions on how to restart the router.
Check the router band setting: Many routers operate in both 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz frequency bands, but not all HP printers support both bands. Make sure the 2.4 GHz router band is turned on and broadcasting. If the router broadcasts separate network names (SSIDs) for each band, connect the printer to the 2.4 GHz band SSID.
Check your firewall software: Your firewall software might prevent the printer from accessing the computer. Accept or allow any firewall messages that display during the printer software download and installation. You can also configure the software to allow HP downloads and installations.
Check for obstructions between the printer and the router: Remove any metal objects between the printer, the computer, and the access point (router). Objects such as refrigerators or metal bookcases can interfere with wireless signals.
Check for other devices that emit radio and wireless signals: Move any devices that emit radio signals, such as microwaves and cordless telephones, farther away from the printer.
Set the IP address on the printer: Your printer can bypass automatic IP address assignment by DHCP and use any valid IP address you choose. Use the control panel menu to type an IP address that is valid for use on your local area network.

What if a 'Printer Not Found' message displays during the installation?

The installer software cannot set up the printer if it is not available on the network, or if there is a problem with your local network.

Go to Printer Not Found During Network Driver Setup for detailed troubleshooting steps to resolve the error.

Can I set up the wireless connection if I already installed the HP software and driver?

If you previously installed the software for a USB connection, and now want to switch to a wireless connection, you can change the connection type with the HP software.

Search Windows for HP Deskjet 3520, and then click the name of your printer in the list of results.

The printer software opens.
Click Utilities, and then click Printer Setup & Software.
Click Convert a USB connected printer to wireless, and then follow the on-screen instructions to set up the printer on your wireless network.
