Step 1: Unbox and Set Up the Printer

  1. Unbox the Printer: Carefully remove the printer from its packaging. Be sure to remove any protective tape or packing materials from inside and around the printer, especially around the ink cartridge area and paper tray.

The HP DeskJet 2700 supports wireless printing, so you can print from your computer, tablet, or smartphone without the need for cables.

  3. Press the WPS Button on Your Router: Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your router. This will allow the printer to connect to the Wi-Fi network.

  4. Confirm the Connection: The wireless light on the printer will stop blinking once the printer is successfully connected to the Wi-Fi network. This indicates that the setup is complete.

Option 2: Using the HP Smart App (Mobile Setup)

If you prefer to use your smartphone or tablet to set up your printer, the HP Smart app makes it easy.

  1. Download the HP Smart App: Install the HP Smart app from the Apple App Store (for iOS devices) or Google Play Store (for Android devices).

  2. Open the App: Launch the HP Smart app on your mobile device. The app will automatically search for your HP DeskJet 2700 printer if it’s in setup mode.

  4. Complete the Setup: Once the setup is finished, the app will notify you that the printer is successfully connected to the Wi-Fi network. You’re now ready to print.

Step 3: Install Printer Software on Your Computer

To complete the setup and allow your computer to communicate with your printer, you'll need to install the printer drivers and software.

  3. Run the Installer: Once the software is downloaded, open the installer and follow the on-screen instructions. Select the wireless connection option during installation to ensure that your computer connects to the printer over Wi-Fi.

  4. Test the Printer: After installation, print a test page from your computer to verify that the printer is correctly set up.

Step 4: Print from Your Mobile Device (Optional)

If you want to print from your smartphone or tablet, you can use the HP Smart app or other printing methods like Apple AirPrint or Google Cloud Print.

  • Apple AirPrint: Select your printer from the print menu when printing from any app, and AirPrint will send the print job to your printer.
  • Google Cloud Print: Use Google Cloud Print to print from Android devices and Google-based apps.

Step 5: Print a Test Page

Now that your printer is connected to Wi-Fi and the necessary software is installed, you can print a test page to confirm everything is working correctly.

  • On Your Computer: Open any document, photo, or web page and click Print. Select your HP DeskJet 2700 from the list of available printers, and click Print to send the job to your printer.
  • On Your Mobile Device: In the HP Smart app or other compatible apps, select your printer and print a test document.
