Setting up your HP OfficeJet Pro 9125e Wireless (WiFi) printer for the first time or connecting it to a new network is a straightforward process that allows you to print from various devices without the need for cables. This guide will walk you through the steps to get your printer connected to your home or office Wi-Fi network.
Methods to Set Up HP OfficeJet Pro 9125e on WiFi
Ensure your HP OfficeJet Pro 9125e printer is powered on and has sufficient ink and paper loaded. Also, make sure you have your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password readily available. It’s often helpful to be near your wireless router during the initial setup to ensure a strong signal.
Method 1: Using the Printer’s Control Panel 🖨️
This is generally the easiest method for direct Wi-Fi setup.
Access Wireless Setup: On the printer’s touchscreen control panel, swipe down from the top of the screen to open the Dashboard. Look for the Wireless icon (often looks like a signal strength indicator) and tap it.
Open Setup Wizard: From the Wireless menu, select “Setup” or “HP Wireless Setup Wizard”. The printer will then search for available wireless networks.
Select Your Network: A list of detected networks will appear. Find your Wi-Fi network’s name (SSID) from the list and tap on it.
Enter Password: If your network is secured (most are), the printer will prompt you to enter your Wi-Fi password (WPA/WPA2 passphrase). Use the on-screen keyboard to carefully input the password. Passwords are case-sensitive.
Confirm Connection: After entering the password, tap “Done” or “Connect”. The printer will attempt to connect to your network. Once successful, a confirmation message will appear on the screen, and the Wireless icon on the Dashboard will show a solid blue light, indicating a stable connection.
Method 2: Using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) đź”—
WPS is a quick way to connect if your router supports it. There are two main WPS methods: Push Button and PIN.
Push Button WPS
Initiate WPS on Printer: On your printer’s control panel, go to the Wireless menu and look for “Wi-Fi Protected Setup” or “WPS”. Select “Push Button”. The printer will display a message indicating it’s waiting for you to press the WPS button on your router.
Press WPS Button on Router: Within two minutes, locate the WPS button on your wireless router (it’s often labeled with the WPS logo or “WPS”) and press and hold it for a few seconds until its light starts blinking.
Connection Confirmation: The printer and router will automatically establish a connection. Once connected, the printer will display a confirmation message.
PIN Method WPS
Initiate WPS PIN on Printer: From the Wireless menu on your printer, select “Wi-Fi Protected Setup” or “WPS”, then choose “PIN”. The printer will display an 8-digit PIN.
Enter PIN in Router Settings: On a computer connected to your network, open a web browser and enter your router’s IP address to access its settings. Navigate to the WPS section and enter the 8-digit PIN displayed on your printer.
Connection Confirmation: Once the PIN is entered correctly, the printer will connect to your network, and a confirmation message will appear.
Final Words
Once your HP OfficeJet Pro 9125e is connected to Wi-Fi, you can install the necessary drivers and software on your computer or mobile devices. For most modern operating systems, the printer should be discoverable on the network, allowing for easy installation through your device’s “Add a Printer” function or by downloading the HP Smart app, which simplifies printing and scanning from various devices. The HP Smart app also provides guided setup and troubleshooting for your printer.
