Hi

Brief summary.  Using old desktop on vista (I think) Laser printer connected to pc via USB and works fine.

Have a Samsung A33 and I've been able to print from this phone to the hp printer no problem until:

I have changed my WiFi extender and need to get the printer connected to this new one but cannot work out how to. I've done the thing where you hold the WiFi button down for 20 secs till both lights flash, search WiFi and connect to the hp one. Then I've gone into the hp smart app and it links and says the printer is ready but the WiFi light continues to flash and I can't print from phone.  I've the connected the phone to the main WiFi I want to use and can't print with WiFi light still flashing. 

I've now tried again to connect to the hp WiFi and its asking for a password I don't have.  Why is this so difficult 

I think I just need to work out how to link the printer to the new WiFi and then when the phone is on the same WiFi it should link but I cannot work out how
