Are you having trouble connecting your printer to your HP account after setting up a new Wi-Fi router? You’re not alone! Many people face similar challenges when trying to enable features like Print Anywhere. Here’s a simple guide to help you resolve this issue and get your printer up and running smoothly.
First, ensure that your printer is properly connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your laptop. This is crucial for enabling remote printing. Once you’ve confirmed your printer is online, follow these steps to enable Print Anywhere:
Start by opening the HP Smart app on your laptop or mobile device. If you haven’t already downloaded the HP Smart app, you can easily find it on your device’s app store or the HP website.
Next, check if your printer appears on the main page of the HP Smart app. If it shows up with the correct ink levels and status, that’s a great sign! Now, it’s time to ensure that your printer is linked to your HP account.
Go to the Account Dashboard within the HP Smart app. If your dashboard says there are no printers added, don’t worry! It might just need a little nudge. Here’s how to add your printer:
1. Click on “Add Printer” or a similar option available in the dashboard.
2. Follow the prompts to select your printer. You may need to confirm your Wi-Fi settings or allow the app to scan your local network.
3. Once found, select your printer and make sure it’s connected to your HP account.
After adding the printer, you should see it listed in your account dashboard. This step is essential in enabling Print Anywhere.
Now, let’s finish setting up Print Anywhere. Look for the Print Anywhere option in the app and enable it. This may require you to authenticate your HP account if prompted.
Finally, test your setup by trying to print a document from a different device. If everything is set up correctly, you should be able to print from anywhere within your network or even remotely.
If you’ve followed these steps and are still having trouble, consider checking HP’s online support pages or reaching out to their customer service team, who can guide you further.
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully connect your printer and enable Print Anywhere. Happy printing!
