Our printer is shared by my desktop and my sons' laptops and I-pad. The boys lost their wi-fi connection 2 days ago and rebooted with a new password. My printer has stopped working ever since.

How about elaborating on the following sentence. It is not really clear to me what you are trying to say.
"The boys lost their wi-fi connection 2 days ago and rebooted with a new password."
Losing a wifi connection and rebooting a PC or notebook have nothing to do with a new password or a printer. The password on your router did not change unless they or you changed it.
If it is now not working on any device that was previously connected to it, you will have to reconnect it to each device. Use the HP printer connection wizard for Windows devices.
I suggest ensuring that the printer is setup to be connected to your wireless router. That will make things far more simple. Go to the wireless section of the printer's menu and set it up with your router's wifi password.
