How to Connect Printer to Wi-Fi Without Screen

Introduction

Many modern printers come without a screen to reduce cost. If you’ve purchased an HP, Canon, or Epson model without a display, don’t worry—you can still connect it to Wi-Fi easily using one of the methods below.

Method 1: Use the WPS Button

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) allows devices to connect without entering a password. This method is fast but your router must support WPS.

Press the WPS button on your router for 3–5 seconds.
Within 2 minutes, press and hold the Wi-Fi or WPS button on your printer until the light blinks.
Wait for the printer’s LED to stop blinking. It’s now connected.

Method 2: Use Manufacturer Mobile Apps

Each major printer brand offers a smartphone app that can configure your printer wirelessly:

HP: HP Smart App (Android, iOS)
Canon: Canon PRINT Inkjet/SELPHY App
Epson: Epson Smart Panel App

Steps:

Install the app on your phone.
Power on your printer.
Open the app and tap “Add a printer.”
Follow the on-screen instructions to connect it to Wi-Fi.

Method 3: Temporary USB Setup

If the above methods fail, use a USB cable to temporarily connect the printer to your PC and configure Wi-Fi through software.

Conclusion

Even without a screen, most modern printers can be connected wirelessly with minimal effort. Mobile apps and WPS are the most convenient solutions for home users.
