So I had my printer hooked up through the WIFI so I could print without using a cable and could print documents off my phone, I since changed my WIFI name and password and now I can't get it hooked up again it says that it's offline and won't reconnect to my wifi and it's very difficult to print now I have to have my computer hooked up with a cable to print. Anyway someone knows how to set this printer back up on WIFI my printer didn't come with a manual so I have nothing to look back on to figure out how to make this happen.

Hi @Justina1210,

 

I'd like to help!

 

To assist better -

  1.  I would like to know, is your router set to work on 2.4 GHz network or 5 GHz network band?
  2. Is the printer connected to a home or public network?
  3. What is the status of the wireless light on the printer, steady or blinking?

Please try the steps below to connect your printer to the network.

 

Press wireless and cancel button for 3 seconds to restore network on the printer.

 

-->On the printer control panel, press and hold the Wireless button and the Resume button together for three seconds. (When Wi-Fi Direct is turned on, the Wi-Fi Direct icon on the display stays on)  
--->On your computer or phone go to wifi and connect it to your printer 
--->Select your printer with DIRECT in the name from the list of available networks (example: DIRECT-74-HP Deskjet2700).
--->Select the Wi-Fi Direct printer signal in Wi-Fi settings 
--->If prompted for a password, type 12345678. This is the default password to log in.
--->Now open a browser and type 192.168.223.1
--->you will be able to access the printer's EWS page 
--->on the page, you will find network - click on it 
--->go to wireless and select wireless setup wizard
--->now select the network that you want your printer to connect to and type in the password 
--->the printer will have solid blue light if it's connected 
--->then connect your phone back to your network

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
