To set up your HP LaserJet printer, go to 123.hp.com/laserjet and enter your printer model. Download and install the recommended driver or HP Smart software. Power on the printer and connect it to your computer using a USB cable, Wi-Fi, or Ethernet, as prompted during setup. Install the toner cartridge and load paper into the tray. Follow on-screen instructions to complete setup, including alignment and updates. Use the HP Smart app for wireless setup, mobile printing, and device management. Once completed, print a test page to ensure your printer is properly installed and ready for use.
● Unbox your printer: Follow the instructions in the box to unwrap your printer, install any cartridges, and load paper.
● Power on: Turn on your HP LaserJet printer and ensure your computer is also on.
● Network (for wireless/wired connection): If you're setting up a wireless printer, ensure your computer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network you intend to connect your printer to. If using a wired (Ethernet) connection, connect the network cable from the printer to your router/network.
● Open a web browser on your computer
● Type 123.hp.com into the address bar and press Enter. The website will often automatically detect your printer model, or it will prompt you to enter the printer name or model number.
● Once you're on the 123.hp.com page, you'll typically see a prompt to download the recommended software. This is often "HP Easy Start," which is an automated tool that detects your operating system and printer model to download the most up-to-date software and drivers.
● Click the "Download" button to get the HP Easy Start file.
● Locate the downloaded file and run it.
● Follow the on-screen prompts of the HP Easy Start application. This will guide you through:
1. Accepting agreements: Review and accept the license agreements.
2. Connecting the printer: The installer will typically guide you through connecting your printer.
# Wireless connection: It might prompt you to select your Wi-Fi network and enter the password, or use WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) if your router supports it (press the WPS button on your router and then on your printer within a few minutes). The HP Smart app is often recommended for wireless setup.
# Wired (Ethernet) connection: If you've connected via Ethernet, the installer should detect it.
# USB connection: If you're using a USB cable, connect it when prompted.
3. Downloading and installing drivers: HP Easy Start will search for and download the latest drivers and software specific to your LaserJet printer.
4. Customizing software (optional): You might have an option to customize which software components to install (e.g., just the driver, or additional utilities like HP Scan).
5. Setting personal preferences: Follow any remaining screens to set up preferences.
● Once the installation is complete, you'll usually see a "Your software has been successfully installed" message.
● HP Printer Assistant or HP Smart app may launch automatically, allowing you to manage your printer, scan documents, check ink levels, and more.
● You should now be able to print from your computer.
● HP Smart App: For many newer HP printers, especially those with wireless capabilities, HP strongly recommends using the HP Smart app for setup. You can download this from 123.hp.com or your device's app store (Microsoft Store, Mac App Store, Google Play, Apple App Store). The HP Smart app offers guided steps for connecting your printer and setting up printing, scanning, and other features.
● Printer Model: Always ensure you have your exact HP LaserJet printer model number handy, as this helps 123.hp.com provide the most accurate software.
● Troubleshooting: If you encounter issues, 123.hp.com usually provides links to HP Support pages with troubleshooting guides and FAQs. You can also visit HP's official support website (support.hp.com) and search for your specific printer model.
● Direct IP Address (for advanced users): In some network configurations, you might need to find your printer's IP address (often displayed on the printer's control panel or network configuration report) and enter it directly into the HP Smart app or during the manual printer addition process on your computer.
By following these steps and using 123.hp.com, you should be able to successfully install your HP LaserJet printer.
