How Do I Connect HP OfficeJet Pro 9015e Printer to WiFi? (Full Guide)

Connecting your HP OfficeJet Pro 9015e to a WiFi network is easy if you follow the right steps. This guide explains the process step by step, whether you are using a computer or a smartphone.

Over time, I have helped my best friend, colleagues, and even my neighbour connect their HP printers to WiFi. That experience inspired me to start blogging and share simple, helpful printer guides. So far, I have covered many printer-related topics, and today, I will show you how to set up a wireless connection for your HP OfficeJet Pro 9015e printer.

Step 1: Power On the HP OfficeJet Printer

This is the first step in the process. I am focusing on this step because many users don’t turn on their printers properly before connecting them to a wireless network. So, avoid making this mistake when connecting your printer.

Ensure the printer’s power cable is securely plugged into a working wall outlet. And check if the printer’s power light is lit in solid blue or green.

Step 2: Make Sure the Internet Connection Is Stable

After turning on the printer properly, ensure that your internet connection is stable and within the required range. You can check your router for that. Check if all the lights are green. Also, note down the SSID and password from the router label. You’ll need these details when setting up the WiFi connection.

Step 3: Access Wireless Settings on Printer’s Touchscreen

As the HP OfficeJet Pro 9015e has a touchscreen, you can easily access its settings. Follow the steps below to navigate to the WiFi settings:

1. Locate the "Setup/Network" or "Wireless Settings" option on the menu.

2. Tap the Wireless Setup Wizard option.

3. Now, let the wizard scan for nearby WiFi networks.

4. Select your wireless network and type in the correct password to connect.

5. Once the password is verified, the WiFi light on the printer will light solid blue.

A blue light indicates that the WiFi connection is successfully established. Once the connection is set up, you can add it to a device.

Step 4: Connect Printer to Your Device

To print through your HP printer, you need to connect it to a device such as a computer or mobile device. Check the steps to add the printer to a device.

Windows

• On your keyboard, press the Windows icon key and search for "Printers & Scanners."

• Then, click the Add option next to “Add a printer or scanner.”

• Choose your HP OfficeJet 9015e printer from the list.

Let it connect to the computer. Now, you can open any document on the computer and send it to the printer to take a test print.

Mac

• Click the Apple icon and go to System Preferences.

• Click the Printers & Scanners option.

• Now, click the plus (+) sign to add the printer.

• Select the printer from the list of available devices.

• Also, select the suitable printer driver, and click Add.

That’s how you can successfully connect an HP printer to a Mac wirelessly. 

Android

1. Open the Google Play Store on the Android device.

2. Then, search for the HP Smart app, and install it.

3. Ensure that your Android and the printer are connected to the same WiFi network.

4. Open the application, and click the (+) sign or a printer icon to add your printer.

The app provides easy on-screen instructions to complete the setup.
