Connecting HP Router to Printer:

First, we need to connect your HP printer to your HP router. We will use WPS (Wifi Protected Setup).

1. On the front of the printer go to Setup > Wireless > WPS. Start it.

2. Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on the front of the router.

3. Watch the front panel of the printer to indicate that the connection was successful.

Once that is done, go to System Preferences > Print & Scan. Click the '+' sign to add the printer. I hope this will work in your case.
