Unboxing and Hardware Setup
The first step in setting up your HP Deskjet 2655 printer is unboxing it and making sure all the necessary components are present. When you open the box, you should find the printer itself, power cord, ink cartridges, USB cable (if applicable), and an installation CD (if included). Carefully remove all the packaging materials and place them aside.
Next, find a suitable location for your printer near a power outlet. Make sure there is enough space around it for easy access to paper trays and ink cartridges. Plug in the power cord and turn on the printer.
Installing Ink Cartridges
Once your printer is powered on, it’s time to install the ink cartridges. Open the ink cartridge access door located on top of the printer. Wait for the carriage to move into position before proceeding.
Take out each ink cartridge from its packaging and remove any protective tape or plastic film. Insert each cartridge into its corresponding slot using gentle pressure until it clicks into place. Close the ink cartridge access door once all cartridges are installed.
Connecting to Your Computer
Now that your hardware setup is complete, it’s time to connect your HP Deskjet 2655 printer to your computer. There are two common methods for connecting: via USB cable or wireless network.
For a USB connection, simply plug one end of the USB cable into your computer’s USB port and the other end into the printer. Your computer should automatically detect the printer and install the necessary drivers. If prompted, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
If you prefer a wireless connection, make sure your printer is connected to your Wi-Fi network. On the printer’s control panel, navigate to the Wireless Settings menu and select your network from the available options. Enter your Wi-Fi password if prompted, and wait for the printer to connect.

With your printer connected, it’s time to install any necessary software or drivers. Insert the installation CD into your computer’s CD drive or visit HP’s official website to download the latest software for your model.
