Step #5 Connect Your Printer With WiFi
When connecting your printer with the WiFi, we suggest using constant internet and not hotspots.
Your printer must remain connected with the WiFi at all times in order to print/scan and receive input. If your connection is temporary you would need to reconnect each time you want to use the printer remotely.
Follow the steps down below to connect your printer with a network:
- Once you have connected to your printer, you will be sent to another page.
- Allow automatic WiFi network and tap “Yes”.
- Go next to your printer and tap on the “Wireless button”.
- Grab your phone again and on the next screen, you should tap on your network.
- The network detection might take 30 seconds up to a minute.
- Enter the WiFi security key of your network and tap on “Confirm”.
We suggest using a 2.4GHz WiFi network to connect your printer with. You will bypass many bugs the 5GHz one can deliver, so make sure to create two separate networks if you don’t have them already.
Step #6 Create HP Account
Now when you know how to connect HP Envy 6052 to the WiFi, creating an HP account is really up to you.
If you wish to monitor your printer performance and have access to other functionalities, make sure to tap “Sign Up” on the following page after connecting your router.
Note: Registering in HP will pretty much allow you to always have a view through the app, as long as it is connected to the WiFi.
It would also allow you to make systems from multiple printers and configure their functionality additionally.
If you wish to bypass registering, however, then feel free to select “Skip this step”.
And easy as that, your printer is set up and ready to go!
