Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

I just unboxed an HP Deskjet 2800e, followed instructions that came with it, consulted a Youtube video specifically for this model, and I'm getting nothing here.  I've installed HP Smart on both my Android device and my PC, I was able to input my wi-fi network information into HP Smart on my PC but it still can't print a test page, it just never finds the printer.  Every light on the printer is blinking, I've tried unplugging my router and power to the 2800e and plugging them back in, nothing changes.  

 

Can't possibly figure out how to explain it any better other than following the setup instructions just isn't working.

 

Thanks for help and ideas,

 

Mike M
