1. Prerequisites for HP DeskJet 2755e WiFi Setup​

Before beginning the WiFi setup for your HP DeskJet 2755e printer, ensure you have the following:

  • A stable WiFi network: Your printer must be connected to the same network as your computer or mobile device for wireless printing to work.
  • WiFi credentials (SSID and password): Ensure you have access to your WiFi network’s name (SSID) and password.
  • An active HP account: For certain features, such as remote printing and HP Smart App integration, you’ll need to sign in to your HP account.
  • A smartphone or computer: These devices will be used to complete the setup.

2. Unbox and Power Up Your HP DeskJet 2755e​

  1. Unbox the Printer: Remove the printer from its box and all protective packaging material.
  2. Place the Printer: Place the printer on a flat surface near your router for optimal signal strength during the setup process.
  3. Plug in the Printer: Connect the printer to a power outlet and press the power button to turn it on.
You should see the control panel light up and the printer initialize. Once it’s powered up, you can proceed with the WiFi setup.

3. Connect Your HP DeskJet 2755e to WiFi via the Control Panel​

To begin the wireless setup, you will use the printer’s control panel. Follow these steps:

  1. Access the WiFi Setup Wizard:
    • On the printer’s control panel, press the Wi-Fi button. The Wi-Fi indicator should begin blinking.
    • Next, press and hold the Wireless button for about 5 seconds until the Wi-Fi light starts flashing.
    • This puts your printer into WiFi setup mode, and the printer will search for available networks.
  2. Select Your Wi-Fi Network:
    • On the printer display, a list of available Wi-Fi networks will appear. Use the arrow buttons to navigate to your Wi-Fi network and select it.
    • If prompted, enter your Wi-Fi password. Be sure to enter it exactly as it is, including upper and lower case letters, special characters, and spaces.
  3. Confirm the Connection:
    • After entering the password, the printer will attempt to connect to the Wi-Fi network.
    • Once connected, the Wi-Fi light on the printer will become solid, indicating that the printer is successfully connected to your Wi-Fi network.
If the connection is unsuccessful, double-check your Wi-Fi credentials and ensure that your printer is within range of the router.

4. Use HP Smart App for Easy WiFi Setup (Smartphone or Tablet)​

Another way to set up your HP DeskJet 2755e is through the HP Smart app, which makes it easier to connect your printer to Wi-Fi, especially for mobile users.

  2. Add the Printer to the HP Smart App:
    • Open the HP Smart app and click on the + sign to add a printer.
    • The app will automatically search for any HP printers on the same Wi-Fi network.
    • When your HP DeskJet 2755e appears on the list, select it to begin the setup.
  3. Connect to Wi-Fi:
    • Follow the on-screen instructions to connect your printer to the Wi-Fi network. You will be prompted to select your network and enter the Wi-Fi password.
    • Once the connection is successful, the app will display a confirmation message.
The HP Smart app also allows you to perform additional tasks like checking ink levels, scanning documents, and printing photos from your mobile device.

5. Set Up on Your Computer (Windows or Mac)​

6. Troubleshooting Tips for Wi-Fi Setup​

If your HP DeskJet 2755e is not connecting to Wi-Fi, here are some troubleshooting steps to help resolve the issue:

Check Wi-Fi Signal Strength​

  • Ensure that your printer is within range of your Wi-Fi router. Thick walls, metal objects, and other electronics can interfere with the Wi-Fi signal.

Verify Wi-Fi Credentials​

  • Double-check your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password. Ensure that the credentials you entered are correct, including case sensitivity and any special characters.

Restart Devices​

  • Sometimes, simply restarting your printer, router, and computer can resolve connectivity issues. Turn off all devices, wait for a few seconds, and then power them back on.

Reset Network Settings on Printer​

  • If the printer is still not connecting, reset the network settings on your HP DeskJet 2755e. To do this, press the Wi-Fi and Cancel buttons simultaneously for about 5 seconds. This will reset the printer’s network settings, allowing you to start the setup process again.

Update Printer Firmware​

  • An outdated firmware version can cause connectivity issues. Visit the HP Support website to check for any available firmware updates for your printer model and install them if necessary.

Conclusion​

Setting up Wi-Fi on your HP DeskJet 2755e is a straightforward process that can be done through the control panel, the HP Smart app, or by using a computer. Once your printer is connected to Wi-Fi, you can print documents and photos from any device within your network, making it a perfect solution for home offices or small businesses.

If you encounter any issues during the setup process, the troubleshooting steps mentioned above should help you get back on track. With wireless printing enabled, your HP DeskJet 2755e will be ready to handle all your printing needs, without the hassle of cables.
