My printer does not connect to the internet anymore.
It says "Server Connection Error: -1
Everything else seems to be working fine.
Could the problem be that I changed recently my router password?
How could I correct this?

Hi @ubilina,
Welcome to HP Forums, this is a great place to get support, find answers and tips.
Thank you for posting your query. I'll be more than glad to help you.
I understand that you are facing issues with your HP Photosmart 6520 e-All-in-One Printer wherein it does not connect to the internet.
This issue could occur if the wireless direct is enabled on the printer.
Let's go through a few steps that may help to fix this issue.
I suggest that you disable the wi-fi direct on the unit and check by following the steps listed below:
1. From the Home screen on the product control panel, touch the Wireless button.
2. Open the following menus:
Wireless Menu
Wireless Direct
On/Off
3. Touch the Off menu item. The product saves the setting and then returns the control panel to the Wireless Direct menu.
If the issue persists, then I suggest that you follow the steps to setup the wireless network by following the link: Wireless Printer Setup
Let me know if this works.
You have a good day ahead.
