Add a printer with an IP address

Another way to add a printer wirelessly is by manually adding its IP address. This is a good backup option if the printer isn't discoverable for some reason. How to find the IP address is different for each printer, but you should be able to find it by browsing through the menu options. On an HP Envy 5660, it is located by tapping on the WiFi icon.

Add a printer with a USB cable

When you plug in the USB cable, the printer will automatically show up in the list of available printers, or it will prompt you to install new printer software. Hit "Install" and follow the steps to complete the installation.
