Reconnecting (resetting) HP Deskjet 3730 after changing the router WiFi password

[Mark167]

Hi,

I changed my WiFi routers password for security reasons. Then reconnected all my other devices without issue.

But I can’t get my printer to go back to setup mode, as it was when new.  

I need it to establish a new connection instead of it searching for the old network.

I tried the WPS button on my router. With no luck. My light is flashing blue.

After you power printer ON, wait to initialize, then press and hold a wireless button on the printer for 3-5 seconds, after that go to your router and press and hold WPS button for 3-5 seconds and wait will they connect.

I found a solution.

pess and hold the, Wifi & Cancel (X) buttons simultaneously for a few seconds. This cancels the old router setup and resets it. It then shows up in the HP iOS app again, ready to setup.

Pretty basic operation which I would think would be on the apps set up and help pages. There’s no mention of how to reset if you have a new router or like me you change a password.
