This is all I can find for Linux on your printer

https://developers.hp.com/hp-linux-imaging-and-printing/

For additional help with Linux visit the ask Ubuntu forum;

Another place to ask questions is ChatGPT 

Note that the 2675 works only on the 2.4ghz band. If you try WiFi direct be sure your Linux is at 2.4ghz and not 5ghz.

I’ll try going over everything in that page again. Maybe I’ll identify the reason for the error message. But thanks for trying to help

What error message are you seeing?

Is the printer connected to the modem?

What does the network report show?

Get a printer network report. The PINs and Passwords should show up. Here is the important stuff from a typical printer report. The password shown in WiFi can be the printers PIN or the modem's password depending on how you connected to the modem. The printer can have two bands but the only one that is connected will show up.

LAN	STATUS	IP address	SSID	Password
WiFi	enabled	192.168.1.15	ATT-ARRIS-2 .4	GuessAgain
WiFi-direct	enabled	192.168.123.1	DIRECT-WHATEVER	BadGuess
Wired	disabled
USB	disabled

From your system running Linux try to ping the printer

jstateson@dual-linux:~$ ping 192.168.1.15

In your linux system do not use the ip address unless you make the IP address fixed in the modem.

Use the hostname of the printer. Get the hostname from the network report.  For example the hostname might be

 npi40cb07.attlocal.net where attlocal.net is the name given by the ISP to your modem's network.

The best solution was … ask ChatGPT. It solved my problem and got me going in no time. But thank you all for your help.
