Hi @JoJoEsch
Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you.
Which device do you use to print?
Ideally, updating the printer firmware should not affect any of the printer settings. Connect the printer back on the wireless network.
On the printer, go to Setup > Network setup > Wireless > Wireless setup wizard > Choose your network
Make sure the printer and the device you are connecting it to are on the same network. Either 2.4GHz or 5GHz network.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
