You can connect your HP LaserJet 100 color MFP M175nw printer to your computer wirelessly using features like HP Wireless Direct.

Connecting via HP Wireless Direct

HP Wireless Direct allows you to connect your computer directly to the printer's wireless network without needing an existing Wi-Fi network or router. This is a quick way to print directly from devices close to the printer.

Follow these steps to connect using Wireless Direct based on the provided information:

  1. On the Printer:

    • Locate and touch the setup button (it looks like a wrench symbol) on the printer's control panel.
    • Navigate through the menu options to select the network setup menu.
    • Within the network setup menu, select the wireless menu.
    • Choose the wireless direct option.
    • Ensure you turn it on.
  2. On the Computer:

    • Go to the bottom right corner of your computer screen (typically where network icons are displayed).
    • Click on the wireless icon (Wi-Fi symbol).
    • A list of available wireless networks will appear. Find and select the printer's Wireless Direct network from this list to connect to it. The network name will likely start with "HP-Print-" followed by part of your printer model or serial number.

Once connected to the printer's Wireless Direct network on your computer, you should be able to install the necessary printer drivers (if not already installed) and print directly to the printer.
