Change the connection method
If you have installed the HP software and connected your printer using a USB, Ethernet, or wireless connection, you can change to a different connection any time you want.
Note: If you are changing to a wireless
connection, make sure that an Ethernet cable has not been connected to
the printer. Connecting an Ethernet cable turns off the printer’s wireless capabilities.
Follow the instructions for your operating system.
