HP OfficeJet 5258

After changing wireless service Officejet 5258 gets an error when trying to connect from my computer. All looks great on the printer but when trying to set up the printer on my computer I get an error:

Unable to communicate with the printer at this time. 

Unable to connect to ‘HP OfficeJet 5200 series [*****]._ ipps._tcp.local.’ due to an error. Would you still like to create the printer?

Welcome to HP Support Community. 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

Step 1: Restore the printer to its network defaults.
1. From the Home screen, touch (Wireless) and then touch ( Settings ). 

2. Touch Restore Network Settings, and then follow the onscreen instructions.

 

Step 2: Reconnect the Printer to the network:
1. On the printer control panel display, from the Home screen, touch ( Wireless ). 

2. Touch ( Settings ). 

3. Touch Wireless Setup Wizard or Wi-Fi Protected Setup. 

4. Follow the display instructions to complete the setup.
