1. Verify that the printer is in the Ready state.

   1. Go to: www.hp.com/go/eprintsoftware.
   2. From the HP ePrint Software page, click Download software.
   3. Select your operating system, and then click Download from the Software - ePrint table.
   4. Save the file to your system. Then, double-click the file and follow the instructions.
