Hi All,

You need a router to connect the printer and the laptop to the same network.
Try to follow these steps:

• Right click on the network icon on the taskbar
• Connect to a network
• Highlight the printer
• Click Connect

Try this:
Connect to your wireless network from the printer using the console keys.
Uninstall that model of printer from your PC's if it is installed. (the printer should be connected and you can ping it by ip address only and not by printer name)
Running the install software will search for the printer as a UPnP device.
Don't change the network settings.
The software will set up a TCP/IP port to the printer, this is similar to a LPT or USB port except that it uses an ip address to access the printer. HP usually uses JET DIRECT.
This port acts as a LOCAL port instead of a NETWORK connection, so your computer treats it as being directly connected to the printer.
