Setting up your HP 123 printer is a simple and straightforward process. Whether you’ve just bought the printer or need to reconnect it, this guide will walk you through the necessary steps to get your printer ready to use.

What You’ll Need:

Before you begin, make sure you have the following:

  • HP 123 printer
  • Power cable
  • Wi-Fi network details (SSID and password) if you're setting it up wirelessly
  • Computer or mobile device for installation
  • Ink cartridges (if not already installed)

Step 1: Unbox and Prepare the Printer

  1. Unbox your printer: Carefully remove the printer from its packaging, including all the protective tapes and materials. Check the contents to ensure that you have the power cable, ink cartridges, and any other necessary accessories.

  2. Install the ink cartridges: Open the printer’s ink cartridge compartment and carefully insert the provided ink cartridges into the correct slots. Ensure that they are securely in place.

  3. Load paper: Place a stack of paper in the input tray. Make sure the paper is aligned properly, and do not overfill the tray.

  4. Connect the power: Plug the power cable into the back of the printer and connect it to an electrical outlet. Press the power button to turn on the printer.

Step 2: Connect the Printer to Your Wi-Fi Network (For Wireless Setup)

If you want to use your HP 123 printer wirelessly, follow these steps to connect it to your Wi-Fi network:

  1. Access the printer’s control panel: Depending on your model, you may have a physical screen or buttons. On the printer’s control panel, locate and press the Wireless icon or Wi-Fi setup option.

  2. Use the Wireless Setup Wizard: Your HP 123 printer should automatically search for available Wi-Fi networks in your area. Select your Wi-Fi network (SSID) from the list.

  3. Enter your Wi-Fi password: Once your network is selected, you’ll be prompted to enter your Wi-Fi password. Use the printer’s control panel to input the password, ensuring you type it exactly as it appears.

  4. Confirm connection: After entering the password, the printer will try to connect to your Wi-Fi network. Once successful, the printer will show a confirmation message or display a wireless icon indicating it's connected.

Step 3: Install the Printer Software on Your Computer or Mobile Device

To begin using your printer, you'll need to install the necessary software and drivers on your computer or mobile device. This ensures that the printer is recognized and ready for printing.

For Windows or macOS:

  1. Go to the HP Support Website: Open your web browser and visit HP’s official support page.

  2. Search for your printer model: Enter “HP 123” in the search box and choose your printer model from the results.

  3. Download the drivers and software: Select your operating system (Windows or macOS) and download the latest printer driver.

  4. Run the installer: Open the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions to install the printer driver and software. During the setup process, select the wireless connection option to let the software detect your HP 123 printer on the network.

  5. Test the printer: Once installation is complete, you should be able to print a test page from your computer to confirm everything is working correctly.

For Mobile Devices:

  1. Download the HP Smart App: If you're using a smartphone or tablet, download the free HP Smart app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

  2. Open the app and follow the prompts: Launch the HP Smart app and follow the setup prompts. The app will automatically detect your HP 123 printer if it’s connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

  3. Complete the setup: Once the app detects the printer, it will guide you through the process to finish the setup.

Step 4: Print a Test Page

After the installation is complete, you can print a test page to ensure your printer is working properly. Here’s how:

  1. From your computer: Open any document or photo and click Print. Select your HP 123 printer from the list of available printers, and click Print to send the job to the printer.

  2. From your mobile device: In the HP Smart app, choose the Print option and select the document or photo you want to print.

If the printer produces the test page without any issues, your setup is complete, and you're ready to start printing!

Step 5: Troubleshooting (If Needed)

If you run into any issues during the setup process, here are a few common solutions:

  • Wi-Fi Connection Issues: Ensure that your printer is within range of your Wi-Fi router. You may need to restart both the router and the printer to fix connectivity problems.
  • Driver Installation Problems: If the printer software won’t install on your computer, make sure you’ve downloaded the correct version of the software for your operating system (Windows/macOS).
  • No Printer Detected: Make sure your computer or mobile device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as the printer. Double-check the wireless connection settings on the printer.

Conclusion

Setting up your HP 123 printer is a quick and easy process. By following the steps above, you’ll have your printer ready for wireless printing in no time. Once it’s set up, you can print from your computer, smartphone, or tablet without needing to worry about cables. If you encounter any issues, the troubleshooting tips should help you get back on track.
