How to Network HP Laserjet Printers (6 Steps)

1. Connect your HP LaserJet to your wireless router using an Ethernet cable. Verify that the light above the Ethernet port on your printer, if your model has one, is lit green.
2. Click 'Start' on your computer. Click 'Devices and Printers' in the Start Menu. Click 'Add a printer.' Click the second option, which is to add a network printer.
3. Select your HP LaserJet printer from the list of printers that your computer detects nearby. Click 'Refresh' if you do not see it after your computer has finished scanning. Check your Internet connection and your router function if you still do not see the HP LaserJet printer.
4. Give your computer permission to download and install the device drivers from the Internet. Click 'Next' when the computer indicates that it has successfully installed the drivers for your HP LaserJet. Type in the name you want to call your HP LaserJet. Click 'Next.'
5. Select the option to share your LaserJet printer. Enter the name you want to others to know this printer by, keeping in mind that you can keep the same name that you chose in Step 4. Enter a location for the printer, such as 'Third floor' or 'Williams Building.' Click 'Next.'
6. Check the box to indicate that you want to use this printer as the default printer on your computer. Click 'Finish.'
