I have the same problem on my 9025. An Ethernet icon has replaced my wireless icon. Without the wireless icon, I cannot access the wireless setup. I’ve tried factory reset and unplugging printer and router, but the printer is still trying for an Ethernet cable connection and telling me it can’t find it. I printed a network configuration page which tells me that my wireless is disabled. All directions for enabling the WiFi tells me to access the wireless menu which I can’t do because I have an Ethernet icon and no wireless icon.

@Ran290128, Welcome to HP Support Community!

The only option left is to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer. 

The reset instructions are specific for your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may brick the device. 

I've sent you a private message with reset instructions, follow the reset instruction to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer.

Hope this helps!
