Want to print wirelessly from your laptop or phone? Many wireless printers work with ASK4, but they often need a bit of extra setup. Here's how to get yours online.
Step 1 - Connect your printer to ASK4 Wireless
Start by putting the printer into WiFi setup mode. This process varies by manufacturer:
HP – Use the printer control panel: Settings > Network Setup > Wireless Settings > Wireless Setup Wizard
Canon – Menu > Network Settings > Wireless LAN setup
Epson – Home > WiFi Setup > WiFi Setup Wizard
Brother – Settings > Network > WLAN > Setup Wizard
Choose ASK4 Wireless when prompted.
If the printer asks for a password, or fails to connect – don’t worry. Most models can’t complete login until they’re registered.
Step 2 - Register the printer manually
Because most printers can't open a web browser, you'll need to register it from another device:
Go to myaccount.ask4.com on your phone or laptop
Log in with your ASK4 account
Select Add a device manually
Enter your printer’s MAC address
Click Enable this device

Step 3 - Find the printer’s MAC address
The MAC address can usually be found in one of these ways:
Printer control panel: Navigate to Settings > Network > Wireless Settings > View MAC Address
On the sticker or label: Look for “MAC” or “Wi-Fi Address” on the back or bottom of the printer
Printed network report: Most printers let you print a report from the settings menu that includes the MAC address
A MAC address looks like: F8:4D:89:2A:CC:44
Step 4 - Restart and test
Once the device is registered:
Turn off the printer, wait 10 seconds, then turn it back on
Make sure it reconnects to ASK4 Wireless
Try printing a test page or scanning from your connected laptop or phone
Can I print from other devices?
Yes – once your printer is online, you can print from any device connected to the same network, including your laptop or phone.
If you're using 4Network, follow the steps in [How to set up 4Network on your devices] to allow wireless communication between your printer and other devices.
