We’re all familiar with the hassle of having to connect a printer to a computer via USB. You’ll not need to do that with this printer thanks to Wi-Fi! Simply follow these simple steps for connecting your HP Officejet pro 8028e wirelessly and you’ll be up and running in no time.
Step 1: Find the wireless icon on your computer, click it, and then choose “Select New Connection or Network” from the dropdown menu.
Step 2: Enter a password if needed and then wait while the network is being detected by your computer. If it’s successful, you should see a blue box reading “Added Successfully”. Click OK at this point.
Step 3: Next, you’ll need to join the network that you just created. Simply go to the Devices and Printers app from your computer and click on “Add a Printer”. Choose the wireless network that you joined in step two (the same one you selected in step one) and then click next. If it’s successful, you should see a pop up message saying “connected successfully”.
How can I prevent my printer hp officejet pro 8028e from using any color ink thereby printing everything in black?
If you’re like me, then you may have had the unfortunate experience of using up all printer ink when your printer still has a lot of mileage left. The solution? Use black ink to print everything!
That said, I recommend that you first check to make sure that your HP 8028e isn’t set up to only use black ink by default before investing in a new color cartridge. To do so, click into “Settings” from the toolbar and go to “Printing Preferences.” Once there, select “Printer Features” and scroll down until you find “Black Ink Only Printing.” If this is unchecked (it should be), then congratulations! You can get it back on track by simply checking this box.

How do I scan with hp officejet pro 8028e ?
If you have a hp officejet pro 8028e, you probably also have an HP Instant Ink subscription. You know how awesome it is with ink cartridges that are delivered to your door every month and never run out? Well scanning is just as awesome with our new HP Instant Ink-compatible scanner! No more running around trying to find the “right” cartridge for your printer. Your scanner will work just like your printer: automatically looking for the right cartridge in the printer drawer. So what do you say? Don’t let handwriting keep you from scanning! Order a new inkjet ppm and sign up for HP Instant Ink now!
Yeah, we thought so too. Because of this, we wanted to make it easy for you to understand how to use the scanner on your hp officejet pro 8028e.
With the HP Instant Ink-compatible ppm, you no longer have to keep track of which cartridges are in your printer and which one is in your scanner. While all of our ppm work with hp Instant Ink, each one has its own preferences when it comes to scanning. To scan using the 8028E’s built-in amazon® Drop In cartridge, simply:
1) Make sure that the ppm and printer are both on and connected to wifi.
2) Add a scan to your officejet pro’s shared folder.
3) Select the scan size and resolution. (If you are scanning with your Drop In cartridge, the only option available is a1. If you are scanning with an original hp ppm that uses single-use ink cartridges, there will be options for b, 3×5, 4×6, 5×8, 8×10 and a1.)
4) Scan! Your ppm will automatically locate the appropriate ink cartridge in your printer, so you don’t have to keep track of which one is where.
The photos below show where to find your HP Instant Ink-compatible scanner options on the printer control panel. (If you don’t find your exact model, it’s probably because your printer is set to a different region.)
