Need to connect my M15W HP LaserJet Pro to a new wireless network

[lauralbar]

I recently changed my internet service, and now I have a new wireless network. I'm trying to connect my printer to it, but I am having no luck. (And I do not have a WPA button on my router). Can anyone assist? Thank you.
