| Easy Setup Guide!
Unbox the Printer
To get started, carefully unbox your HP DeskJet printer. Remove all packing materials and ensure that everything is in good condition.
Install the Ink Cartridge
Next, install the ink cartridge according to the instructions provided in the manual. This step is crucial for the printer to function correctly.
Ensure Wi-Fi Setup Mode
For your printer to connect to your Wi-Fi, it must be in Wi-Fi setup mode. Look for the Wi-Fi light; it should be blinking blue. If it isn’t blinking, reset the network settings. To do this, simultaneously press and hold the wireless and cancel buttons until the power button starts to flash.
Install the HP Smart App
Now, it’s time to install the HP Smart app. Download the app on your smartphone or computer. Once installed, open the app and sign in or create an HP account if you don’t already have one.
Enable Bluetooth and Location Services
Ensure that Bluetooth and location services are enabled on your device. This will help with the connection process.
Connect to Wi-Fi
In the HP Smart app, tap on the plus icon to add a new printer. From the list of available printers, select your HP DeskJet 280E.
Enter Wi-Fi Credentials
When prompted, enter your Wi-Fi network name and password. The app will automatically configure the printer and connect it to your network.
Confirm Connection
Wait for the Wi-Fi light on the printer to stop blinking and remain solid. This indicates that the connection has been successful.
Complete Setup
Once connected, the HP Smart app will prompt you to complete the setup. You may be asked to print a test page. Additionally, you can explore setting up extra features that your printer offers.
