NOTE:

If you are using a guest network, such as those found in many hotels or college campuses, connecting a device to your printer might not be possible over the network. Instead, use a Wi-Fi Direct connection to print.

Restore Wi-Fi setup mode on the printer

Many HP printers have a Wi-Fi setup mode that helps the HP software connect your printer to a network. Restore Wi-Fi setup mode if the printer is not found during software setup or when the wireless connection is lost.
