HP LaserJet Pro M1217nfw MFP. I have a new wifi router and I need to reconnect my printer to this new network. I don't have a suitable cable to connect to my PC, so I want to do this wirelessly. I have tried various things, including following HP Easy Start. For the latter, I get about 40% through the instructions where it tells me to Select Network Wi-Fi OFF. But I can't see an option to do this and so cannot get to the Wireless  Setup Wizard.

Is WPS an option?

Thanks for the reply, though it hasn't really helped me.  Nevertheless, with some more trial and error, I have solved the problem and an now reconnected to my new router. Some straightforward instructions in the manual would have saved me a lot of time.
