Follow the instructions in the Start Here booklet to set up your printer. Then visit 123.hp.com/setup to install the mobile app or printer software and connect the printer to your network. You will also need to create an online account to activate your printer, which you will be guided through after installing the mobile app or printer software. (Page 1)
