How do I get my printer to connect to the correct IP address of my local net?

 

WPS works either way I try it, but when the printer goes to connect, according to the printer report, the printer trys to connect 169.254.210.175, when it should be connecting to 192.168.0.1.  The setup wizard won't let me set the IP on the printer regardless of my choice of automatic or manual setup.  The situation I'm seeing matches the HP doc:

 

"Compare the printer's IP address to the gateway IP address. They should have a similar format (for example, the gateway IP address might be 192.168.0.1 and the printer IP address 192.168.0.5). If the printer has an IP address similar to 169.254.XXX.XXX, it probably is not connected to your wireless network."

 

But the doc doesn't give any suggestions about how to set the IP address in the printer.

 

Also, the WPS process say's that it's successful, whether I push the button on the router or whether I enter the printer's PIN at the router config. 

 

Help.

 

Thanks,

Carleton
