HP DESKJET-3700 user manual

Yes, you can use the HP DeskJet 3700 without Wi-Fi. The printer has a USB port, so you can connect it directly to your computer using a USB cable for printing. However, please note that certain features like wireless printing and mobile printing may not be available without a Wi-Fi connection.

To get your HP Deskjet printer to work, follow these steps:
1. Check printer connections: Ensure that the printer is properly connected to your computer or network. Verify that cables are securely plugged in and that there are no loose connections.
2. Install the necessary printer drivers: Visit the HP website and download the correct drivers for your printer model. Run the driver installation software, and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the process. Restart your computer after driver installation.
3. Set as default printer (Optional): In your computer's settings, set the HP Deskjet printer as the default printer. This ensures that any print command is directed to the correct device.
4. Test the printer: Print a test page to check if the printer is functioning properly. Open a document, click on "File" and select "Print." Choose the HP Deskjet printer from the list of available printers, and click "Print." The printer should start printing the test page.
5. Update firmware (if available): Visit the HP website and check for any firmware updates for your printer. Download and install any available updates according to the provided instructions.
6. Check ink or toner levels: If you're using an inkjet printer, verify that the ink cartridges are properly installed and have sufficient ink. On some HP models, you can check ink levels through the printer software or control panel. For laser printers, ensure that the toner cartridges are installed correctly and have enough toner.
7. Troubleshoot common issues: If you encounter specific issues like paper jams, print quality problems, or connectivity errors, consult the printer's user manual or the HP website for troubleshooting steps. HP printers often have built-in diagnostic tools that can help identify and fix common problems.
If the above steps do not resolve your issue, you may need to contact HP support for further assistance.

To connect your HP DeskJet 3700 printer to your Wi-Fi network, you may follow these steps:
1. Ensure that your printer, computer, and wireless router are in close proximity and turned on.
2. Press the Wi-Fi button on your printer's control panel. This button typically looks like a wireless icon or ink drop.
3. On your computer, open the Wi-Fi settings and search for available networks. Look for the network name (SSID) of your printer, which is usually "HP-Setup-XX-DeskJet-3700."
4. Select the network and enter the password if prompted. After connecting to the printer's network, your computer may display a message saying it is not connected to the internet. This is normal since you are temporarily connected to the printer's Wi-Fi network.
5. Open a web browser (such as Chrome, Firefox, or Edge) and navigate to the printer's setup page. The URL for the setup page is typically 192.168.223.1, but it can vary. If the URL doesn't work, check your printer's documentation or user manual for the correct address.
6. On the setup page, you may be guided through the installation process or asked to configure network settings manually. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect your printer to your home Wi-Fi network. You will need to enter your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and password when prompted.
7. Once your printer is connected to the Wi-Fi network, disconnect from the printer's network and reconnect to your regular Wi-Fi network on your computer.
8. You can confirm the successful connection by printing a test page from your computer. Additionally, you may install the necessary printer drivers and software to enable full functionality.
Note: The steps may vary slightly depending on your computer's operating system and printer model. If you encounter any difficulties, refer to your printer's user manual or visit the official HP support website for specific instructions and troubleshooting assistance.
