Welcome to HP Support Community.

I see you need help with the printer connectivity. I will surely help you with this. 

May I know if are you referring to the Printer software for PC? If yes, please check here: https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/printers

 

In the meantime, Please uninstall the HP smart app.

  •  Reconnect the power cord to the router, then wait for the Internet activity light to display a normal connected status.
  •  Turn on the printer.
  •  Turn on the mobile device/PC. 

Run the setup wizard to get the printer connected to the new network. 

  • Use the Wireless Setup Wizard from the printer control panel display to set up wireless communication. 
  •  From the printer control panel, touch (Wireless). 
  •  Touch ( Settings ).
  •   Touch Wireless Settings.
