Print Wirelessly with the HP Officejet 4620

HP 4620 Printer

Wireless printing is a very convenient thing to set up in your home or office, because it just gives you a lot of options for configuring the various devices on your network. For example, you can print to this printer from your iPhone 5, in addition to the computers on your network.

 You will need the following things for this installation:

  • Computer that will be on the same network as the printer
  • Unboxed Hp Officejet HP 4620
  • USB printer cable (needed for setup)
  • Your wireless network name (SSID)
  • Your wireless network password

Note that this installation is for a Windows 7 computer. I am also going to assume that you do not have the installation CD so, if you do, you can skip the part about downloading the software. Additionally, you will need a USB cable for the installation, but you will not need it once the printer has been connected to the wireless network.

Do not connect the USB cable from the printer to the computer until instructed to do so.

Step 1: Go to the HP website and download the full software download option for your version of Windows 7. If you do not know which version of windows 7 you have, you can check by following the instructions in this article. Note that the software download is over 100 MB, so it might take a while if you are on a slow connection.
