How to Connect HP Deskjet 3755 to a New WiFi Network

Connecting your HP Deskjet 3755 to a new WiFi network is essential if you’ve recently moved, changed your network name or password, or want to print wirelessly from your mobile devices. The process is relatively simple and straightforward, and in this article, we will guide you through the steps.

Step 1: Gather your Network Information

Before you can connect your printer to a new WiFi network, you need to collect all the necessary information. The information includes:

• The network name (SSID)
• The network password
• The type of security used on your network (WPA, WPA2, or WEP)

If you don’t have this information, you can check your router or contact your internet service provider (ISP). Once you have the network details, proceed to the next step.

Step 2: Turn on the HP Deskjet 3755 Printer

To connect the printer to the WiFi network, you need to turn it on and ensure that it’s in the ready state. You can do this by pressing the power button on the printer. The printer’s control panel should light up, indicating that the printer is on.

Step 3: Access the Printer’s Control Panel

The next step is to access the printer’s control panel, which is where you will enter the required information to connect the printer to the WiFi network. To access the control panel, follow these steps:

1. Press the wireless icon on the printer’s control panel. The wireless icon is located on the top of the printer, and it looks like a Wi-Fi signal.
2. Press and hold the wireless button until the wireless light starts blinking. The light should turn on after a few seconds, indicating that the printer is ready to connect to a new wireless network.
3. Once the wireless light starts blinking, press the information button (i) located next to the wireless button on the printer’s control panel. The printer will print a network configuration page that shows the printer’s network settings.

Step 4: Connect to the New Network

After you’ve accessed the printer’s network settings, the next step is to connect the printer to the new network. There are two methods for connecting the printer to the new network:

Method 1: Using the Control Panel

To use this method, follow these steps:

1. On the network configuration page (printed in the previous step), locate the SSID (network name) of the new wireless network you want to connect to.
2. Press the wireless button on the printer’s control panel and select the new network SSID from the list using the Up and Down buttons.
3. Enter the network password using the keypad on the printer’s control panel and then press OK to confirm the entry. If you make a mistake while entering the password, use the Back button to correct it.
4. Wait for the printer to connect to the new wireless network. The wireless light on the printer’s control panel should stop blinking and turn solid once the connection is established.

Method 2: Using the HP Smart App

Alternatively, you can use the HP Smart app to connect the printer to the new network. Follow these steps:

1. Download and install the HP Smart app on your mobile device.
2. Launch the app and select the printer you want to connect to the new network.
3. Tap on the “Printer Settings” option.
4. Select “Wireless Settings” and then “Wireless Setup Wizard”.
5. Select the new wireless network SSID from the list and enter the network password when prompted.
6. Wait for the printer to connect to the new wireless network. The wireless light on the printer’s control panel should stop blinking and turn solid once the connection is established.

Step 5: Verify Wireless Connection

After connecting your HP Deskjet 3755 printer to a new wireless network, you should verify the wireless connection. The easiest way to do this is by printing another network configuration page. If the printer is connected to the new network, the network name (SSID) and IP address of the printer should match the new network’s details.
