I recently moved and now have a new Wifi connection. I was able to connect the printer fine to the wifi. However, it does not connect wirelessly to my laptop anymore and will not print wirelessly. I think it may be related to the IP address, however I do not know how to fix this. Appreciate any help.

@mh135, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Make sure the printer is connected to the new wifi network. Recheck the network name on the printer screen by tapping the wireless icon.

  • Make sure the printer and the MAC are connected to the same wireless network.
  • This printer supports only 2.4GHz network. So, the MAC should be on the 2.4GHz network.
  • If you have a Dual-band router and both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks share the same name/SSID, the printer will not be able to connect to the network. In this case, contact your Internet service provider to assign different names to both the networks.
  • Also, check with your Internet service provider if your router is able to forward 'Bonjour packets'.
  • The wireless status menu on your Mac should also give us quite a lot of information that would help us identify the issue. You can press and hold the option key on your keyboard and click the WiFi icon to get detailed information.
  • Restart the wireless router, the printer, and the MAC

Perform a PING test to check the connectivity

  1. Obtain the IP address of the printer by clicking on the Wireless icon on the printer
  2. On the MAC Go to Spotlight > search for Network utility > select Ping tab > enter the IP address of the printer in the box
  3. Check the second box that says Send only > 10 pings
  4. Click on ping > Check the results at the end if any packets are lost
  5. Note: There should be 0% packet loss, share the results in your next post.

Try printing.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
