Trying to set up new printer to my wireless. But, when I want to enter my password I cannot. Printer will not
allow me to change to CAPS and NUMBERS --which I need in order to enter my password. Have gone over
the manual, looked here and cannot find how to change the setting on the printer to go from lower case to
caps and to numbers. HELP! Thank you.

At the lower left corner, press/click on "123?" to switch to number/symbol keys, above "123?" is the UPPER case key (a fat upper arroe).

Another option is to use WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) to connect your printer.
Most standard routers support WPS and will have a WPS button on the side or front of the router.
The WPS button typically shows two arrows almost in a circle.
Your HP Wireless printer does support WPS (as do all HP inkjet wireless printers released since 2012).
To connect wirelessly, using WPS, you start the wireless setup wizard on the printer front panel.
When you get to the screen where you would enter your password, you will also see OR connect via WPS.
At this point, you would push the WPS button on your wireless router (often hold for 3-5 seconds).
These steps put both the router and the printer in a mode where they can exchange wireless credentials automatically.
Below is a link with a few more details:

I used this method just last week and it is almost too easy.
If you need help determining whether your wireless router supports WPS, I would start by searching for the push button on the router with the two arrows. You can also use Google with the model number, or reply here and I can check for you.
