connect hp 2600 to wifi without WPS button

[welbinator]

This printer has worked fine for like a year. I recently changed the network name on my WiFi so obviously my printer won't print now because it's not connected to the network.

I can't for the life of me remember how I got this stupid thing connected to the internet in the first place. Everything online says press the WPS button but my router doesn't have one.

So how the hell do I connect this thing to my network? The HP Smart App doesn't do anything. I connected to it using the Direct WiFi or whatever that was called. IT asked for a password so I put in 12345678 and that seemed to "work" but nowhere in this app is there an option to update the network information.

I'm at a complete loss here. The wifi light on the printer is blinking, which suggests that it's in Setup Mode, but the HP Smart App still won't find it.

I'm never buying another printer without a display on it that's for **bleep** sure.
