Visit hp.com/start/ojp8120e to install HP software. This software
provides basic print and scan drivers and will help you connect the
printer to a Wi-Fi network.
Move your computer or mobile device closer to the
printer. Your device might be out of range of the printer's
Wi-Fi signal.
Disconnect from a VPN before installing HP software.
You can't install apps from the Microsoft Store when
connected to a VPN. Connect to the VPN again after
finishing printer setup.
Note: Consider your location and the security of the
Wi-Fi network before disconnecting from a VPN.
If your computer is connected by Ethernet, turn on the
computer's Wi-Fi while setting up the printer. Disconnect
the Ethernet cable temporarily to complete setup over
Wi-Fi.
If setting up with a mobile device, turn on Bluetooth
and location services. This helps the software find your
network and printer.
Note: Your location is not being determined and no
location information is being sent to HP as part of the
setup process.
