How to Connect HP DeskJet 3755 to WiFi Using HP Smart

HP Smart is a great option for setting up your HP DeskJet 3755 wireless connection quickly and easily. HP Smart will work with most of today's computer and mobile systems to assist you in adding your printer to your network, as well as completing the overall wireless connection process.

Step 1: Install HP Smart

Install the HP Smart software to either a personal computer or cell phone. After installing, open the application and use the on-screen prompts.

If this is the initial configuration of the printer, HP Smart will assist in the setup.

Step 2: Put the Printer in WiFi Setup Mode

Your HP DeskJet 3755 was previously connected to a different network, so you might have to revert back to the original wireless setup mode prior to connecting to a new WiFi network.

Press and hold both the Wireless and Cancel buttons of the printer simultaneously for a short period of time. After the wireless light begins to indicate that the printer is prepared for configuration, release the buttons.

The manner in which the indicator displays its status may differ depending on the printer's existing conditions. Therefore, you should permit the printer some time to transition into the wireless configuration process.

Step 3: Add the Printer in HP Smart

Open HP Smart and select the option to Add Printer or set up a new printer.

The software will then locate all available HP printers. Once you see the HP DeskJet 3755, please select this printer and proceed through the rest of the installation steps.

If the printer isn't showing up, make sure that it's turned on and that your device can connect to the internet via wireless (WiFi).

Step 4: Select Your WiFi Network

Select either your residential or professional wireless network when requested, based upon what is currently being offered.

Enter your WiFi password correctly when prompted. You need to make sure you enter it exactly how it was set up on your router. WiFi passwords are case sensitive.

After continuing with all of the other steps within HP Smart, you will have completed your wireless configuration.

Step 5: Confirm the Wireless Connection

After the setup process completes, verify that the printer's wireless status is indicated by a solid light on the front panel. In most cases, a continuous light indicating a successful connection to your wireless network will appear on the front of the printer.

If you want to make sure your computer/mobile device and printer are communicating correctly via Wi-Fi, you can also test by sending a print job (document/photo) to the printer.

HP DeskJet 3755 WiFi Connection Troubleshooting

On occasion, the printer may be unable to establish a connection with the WiFi network on its initial setup. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot issues with the initial setup process.

Check the WiFi Password

If you cannot print because of a connection error, it is likely due to an incorrect password. Please re-enter your password correctly, making sure that each letter (uppercase or lowercase) matches what was entered when setting up the connection.

Restart the Printer and Router

Turn off the printer and restart the Wi-Fi router. After the router is operational again with a strong Wi-Fi signal, turn on the printer and proceed with the initial setup process.

Move the Printer Closer to the Router

When you have a low-strength wireless signal it could affect your ability to set up your printer, and/or disrupt regular printing. Move your printer near your router for a short time and then attempt to reconnect.

Check Your Device's WiFi Connection

Your computer or telephone must be on the same wireless network as you would like the HP DeskJet 3755 to connect. Your discovery of the printer may not function properly if your computer/telephone is connected to a different network.

Reset the Wireless Setup

If the printer is still connected to an old network, you should reset its wireless setup and then use HP Smart to add it again. This will help you reconnect your printer to your new network if you changed either your router or Wi-Fi password.
