HP LaserJet, HP PageWide Enterprise - Solve wireless network problems

This document provides information to help resolve problems with your printer when it is connected to a wireless network.

You can check your setup with the wireless connectivity checklist, run a diagnostic test if you have an HP LaserJet Pro printer, and troubleshoot by symptom.

Wireless connectivity checklist

The following list contains network and printer requirements and configurations that you can check to verify correct setup.

Verify that Wi-Fi Direct printing is enabled on your printer. To do this, print a configuration page from the printer control panel and check the printed pages for Wi-Fi Direct configuration information.
Verify that the network cable is not connected.
Verify that the printer and the wireless router are turned on and have power. Also make sure that the wireless function on the printer is turned on. This is typically done via the wireless menu for most wireless printer models.
For HP LaserJet Pro printers, verify frequency. If the printer does not support the frequency of the wireless router, connectivity issues might occur.

Check whether your printer supports 2.4 GHz, or both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Then make sure the wireless router has a compatible frequency. If you are not sure about the frequency, refer to the manual, box, or manufacturer label on the router/modem.

Note:
Some older HP LaserJet Pro models support only 2.4 GHz wireless modems/routers and cannot detect 5 GHz networks.
Verify that the wireless network name or service set identifier (SSID) is correct for the network that you want to connect to. Print a configuration page from the printer control panel to determine the SSID. If you are not sure the SSID is correct, run the wireless setup again.
Verify that the passphrase/password is correct for the wireless network.
Verify that the wireless network is working correctly by accessing other computers on the wireless network. If the network has Internet access, try connecting to the Internet over a wireless connection.
Verify that the encryption method (AES or TKIP) is the same for the printer as it is for the wireless access point (on networks using WPA security).
Verify that the printer is within the range of the wireless network. For most networks, the printer must be within 100 ft (30 m) of the wireless access point (wireless router).
Verify that the wireless router is positioned in a central location in line of sight with the wireless printers on the network.
Verify that obstacles do not block the wireless signal. Remove any large metal objects between the access point and the printer. Make sure that poles, walls, or support columns containing metal or concrete do not separate the printer and wireless access point.
Verify that the printer is located away from electronic devices that might interfere with the wireless signal. Many devices can interfere with the wireless signal including motors, cordless phones, security system cameras, other wireless networks, and some Bluetooth devices.
Verify that the print driver is installed on the computer.
Verify that you have selected the correct printer port.
Verify that the computer and printer connect to the same wireless network.
For macOS, verify that the wireless router supports Bonjour.
