How to Set Up Your HP OfficeJet Pro 9125e Wirelessly?
Setting up your HP OfficeJet Pro 9125e Wireless (WiFi) printer for the first time or connecting it to a new network is a straightforward process that allows you to print from various devices without the need for cables. This guide will walk you through the steps to get your printer connected to your home or office Wi-Fi network.
Methods to Set Up HP OfficeJet Pro 9125e on WiFi
Ensure your HP
OfficeJet Pro 9125e printer is powered on and has sufficient ink and
paper loaded. Also, make sure you have your Wi-Fi network name (SSID) and
password readily available. It's often helpful to be near your wireless router
during the initial setup to ensure a strong signal.
Method 1: Using the Printer's Control Panel 🖨️
This is generally the easiest method for direct Wi-Fi setup.
- Access
Wireless Setup: On the printer's touchscreen control panel, swipe down
from the top of the screen to open the Dashboard. Look for the Wireless
icon (often looks like a signal strength indicator) and tap it.
- Open
Setup Wizard: From the Wireless menu, select "Setup"
or "HP Wireless
Setup Wizard". The printer will then search for available
wireless networks.
- Select
Your Network: A list of detected networks will appear. Find your Wi-Fi
network's name (SSID) from the list and tap on it.
- Enter
Password: If your network is secured (most are), the printer will
prompt you to enter your Wi-Fi password (WPA/WPA2 passphrase). Use the
on-screen keyboard to carefully input the password. Passwords are
case-sensitive.
- Confirm
Connection: After entering the password, tap "Done"
or "Connect". The printer will attempt to connect to your
network. Once successful, a confirmation message will appear on the
screen, and the Wireless icon on the Dashboard will show a solid blue
light, indicating a stable connection.
Method 2: Using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) 🔗
WPS is a quick way to connect if your router supports it.
There are two main WPS methods: Push Button and PIN.
Push Button WPS
- Initiate
WPS on Printer: On your printer's control panel, go to the Wireless
menu and look for "Wi-Fi Protected Setup" or "WPS".
Select "Push Button". The printer will display a message
indicating it's waiting for you to press the WPS button on your router.
- Press
WPS Button on Router: Within two minutes, locate the WPS button
on your wireless router (it's often labeled with the WPS logo or
"WPS") and press and hold it for a few seconds until its light
starts blinking.
- Connection
Confirmation: The printer and router will automatically establish a
connection. Once connected, the printer will display a confirmation
message.
PIN Method WPS
- Initiate
WPS PIN on Printer: From the Wireless menu on your printer, select "Wi-Fi
Protected Setup" or "WPS", then choose "PIN".
The printer will display an 8-digit PIN.
- Enter
PIN in Router Settings: On a computer connected to your network, open
a web browser and enter your router's IP address to access its settings.
Navigate to the WPS section and enter the 8-digit PIN displayed on your
printer.
- Connection
Confirmation: Once the PIN is entered correctly, the printer will
connect to your network, and a confirmation message will appear.

OfficeJet Pro 9125e is connected to Wi-Fi, you can install the necessary
