Reconnect an old printer to internet

[yemal]

Haven't had my printer connected, on, operational, etc in quite some time (rollers got dirty and wouldn't move paper but thats fixed now).  I am now trying to set it back up after having moved and am having trouble figuring out how to connect it to wifi.  I do have the cable to wire it.  The instructions for connecting a printer to wifi online seem to center around new printer which get prompted for this set up when HP Smart is first opened I believe, but Smart still has my computer in it.  My ink is also not showing (I'm certain it dried up long ago), so I cant print off any of the instructions which are available with certain button presses.  Any help with connecting?

Hi @yemal,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I'd like to help!

To be able to answer you effectively, we need some information.

Are you using a Win PC or a MAC?

Use WPS to connect the printer to your wireless network.

Locate the WPS button on your router, but do not press it yet.

If your router does not support WPS, skip to the next step to connect the printer with the HP Smart app.

Turn on the printer. If the printer is in sleep mode, press the Cancel button on the control panel.

On the printer control panel, press and hold the Wireless button for at least 3 seconds or until the wireless light starts to flash.

On the router, press and hold the WPS button for 3 to 5 seconds or until it shows that the WPS connection process has started.

NOTE: The printer stops searching for a WPS connection two minutes after the wireless button is pressed. If you were unable to press the WPS button within that timeframe, attempt these steps again.

Once the printer connects to the wireless network, the blue Wireless light on the control panel turns on solid.
