Greetings!

 
Welcome to the HP Support Community. This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips to your technical queries. I have reviewed your post and I understand, you are unable to access the Wireless Setup Wizard. 

 

This looks like an issue with the printer settings. Don't worry, I'm here to help! Let's try these steps -


Step 1 Network Restore -

 

Touch (right arrow), touch Setup, and then touch Network. Touch Restore Network Defaults, and then select Yes. A message appears stating that the network defaults have been restored. 

 

Step 2 Reboot the devices -

 

1) Turn off the Router, Printer, and the computer. 
2) Wait for 60 seconds. 
3) Turn on the Router first and wait for all the lights to stabilize. 
4) Turn on the printer and allow it to configure itself. 
5) Turn on the computer.

 

Step 3 Run Wireless Wizard - 

 

1) Set up the printer hardware. See the getting started guide or the setup poster that came with your printer.
2) On the printer control panel, touch (right arrow), touch Setup, and then touch Network.
3) Touch Wireless, touch Wireless Setup Wizard and then touch OK.
4) Follow the display instructions to complete the setup.

 

If the issue still persists I have sent you a Private Message with the troubleshooting steps specific to your printer to reset the settings.
 
Check next to your profile Name, you should see a little blue envelope, please click on it. Click here for more details on how to access the private messages on HP Forums.

 

Hope this helps!

 

Let me know how that goes.
