My 8720 is new
it works fine connected to my computer by the usb cable
the wifii shows the blue light on and it is NOT flashing
it shows the IP address
but i cannot connect thru the wifii in my home
i am totally confused
i have spent countless hours with support, rebooted the router in the house. Unplugged the printer check over and over again and the connection shows connected to the router yet i cannot bring up the printe on the wifii network either on my computer or on my Iphone or Ipda

Hello,
I'm sorry to see wireless issues with your new printer. Have you followed the steps to connect your printer with the wireless setup wizard?
- From the home screen on the printer control panel, swipe down to open the Dashboard, and then touch the Wireless icon
.
- Touch the Setup icon
.
- Touch Wireless Settings, and then touch Wireless Setup Wizard.Figure : Wireless Settings display
- Touch the name of your network in the list of available networks, and then touch OK.Figure : Example of network names
- If the list does not contain your network name, touch Enter New Network Name, and then follow the on-screen instructions to enter your network name.
- If prompted, type the WEP or WPA key (network password), and then touch Done.A summary screen displays. Touch OK to return to the home screen.
NOTE:
If a connection error message displays, make sure you typed the uppercase (capital) and lowercase (small) letters for the network name and password exactly. Follow the prompts to type the information again.Full wireless setup steps are found here http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-OfficeJet-Pro-8720-All-in-One-Printer-series/7902032/model/79...

If you have already tried using the wireless setup wizard, then perhaps start troubleshooting with this document:
