Hi Katie, you'll need to restore the network default settings.  Hpsetup is the default Ad Hoc network for this printer. If you've had it set up to another wireless network, or tried to set it up, than that setting has changed. Restore network defaults is an option in the front panel settings

Does it work the same for an HP Photosmart C6380? Having a hard time with it.

@Tsukareiteimasu You don't need to do this for your product. You can set your printer up to the wireless network through the printer's control panel.

Follow these steps to connect the product to your wireless WLAN 802.11 network. Press the Setup button on the product control panel. Press the Down Arrow button to highlight Network , and then press OK . Press the Down Arrow button to highlight Wireless Setup Wizard , and then press OK

The Wireless Setup Wizard searches for networks, and then displays them in a list. Press the Down Arrow button ( ) to highlight the network name (SSID) that you gathered in the previous step, and then press OK . Press the Down Arrow button ( ) to highlight Infrastructure , and then press OK .  Press the Down Arrow button ( ) to highlight WEP encryption or WPA encryption , and then press OK .

Just follow the prompts and let the wizard complete.

@HPTechUS  After that, just run the software and let it install the software and setup the printer on your Mac.

This happens usually due to 1 of 2 reasons. 1. the network name you are trying to set the printer to is not spelled EXACTLY as it is. The SSID is case sensitive. 2. The network security settings you are entering in the HPSETUP embedded web page isn't correct. Another thing to check is what band you are broadcasting on. Some routers are capable of using 5ghz, the HP printer will not function on 5ghz, you'll need to put the router on 2.4 ghz. (Your router maker will have that info)

I have the same printer in the video and am trying to set it up to print wirelessly with my Mac. However, HPSETUP does not show up in my airport menu. Any suggestions? (The radio is turned on, I have also tried turning the printer off and then on again.)

worked perfectly thank you, i think the issue a lot people have is knowing that the ssid has to be your broadband connection and password on some peoples network is a WPA not a WEP. you can download hp setup from hp website

After turning on the radio, there was no HP Setup option in drop-down menu. Help?

@HPTechUS Thank you for the help! Unfortunately I haven't been able to get a connection yet. The trouble starts with the HP printer not finding the wireless network name and when I try to add it manually it still won't connect. I'm beginning to think our router might not support the printer it's a Netgear RangeMax Wireless Routher WPN824 v3. I'll keep trying we'll see what happens.
