Guide to 123 HP Setup Printers Using a Wired Network Printer
Follow these instructions if you have a Mac and wish to configure a wired network HP printer.
1st Step Prepare for the installation of the driver
- ● To begin, prepare your device for the HP printer driver installation by doing the following steps:
- ● Before you begin installing the driver, ensure that you have a functional network router and an Ethernet connection.
- ● Following that, check to see whether you have an Ethernet-capable network router.
- ● Verify that your computer is linked to the router; if it is not, connect it immediately.
- ● Ascertain that you are connecting through an Ethernet connection rather than a phone line.
2nd Step Guide to connect a printer to a network
- ● Connect the printer to the router, switch, or hub through an Ethernet connection to ensure that it is discovered during installation.
- ● Turn on the printer and remove any protective covers from the back Ethernet connection.
- ● Utilize an Ethernet cable to connect the printer to a router port.
3rd Step Software Installation Procedure
- ● Finally, you must install the necessary HP printer software as the last step in the network printer configuration.
- ● Navigate to 123.hp.com/setup, type the printer's name or number into the 'Search' box, and then click the 'Search' button. Depending on your operating system version, either the HP Easy Start app or the HP Software will begin downloading.
- ● If you have downloaded HP Easy Start, run it by following the on-screen instructions. Select 'Wired Network' as the connection type. There is no need to continue to the following step if the setup is complete.
- ● If the first step does not work, go to HP Customer Support - Software and Driver Downloads, enter the printer's name or a number and verify the operating system version.
- ● On the results page, the operating system you selected will be shown; to change it, click Change, pick your version, and then click Change again.
- ● Under the Driver header, select the HP printer software download option, or click Basic Drivers to access further driver choices.
- ● When the installer asks for a printer connection type, choose Wired Network to finish the setup.
- ● You may next attempt printing, scanning, or faxing, depending on the capabilities of your printer.
