Cannot connect to new Wifi with LaserJet M110w

[mine32]

I have a new wifi and wanted to connect my laserjet m110w to the new network.

I have tried to reconnect, then delete the printer to reinstall but when I get to the point where I should select the HP printer from the wifi settings it asks me for a password. I never gave a password nor can i find it anywhere. One of the questions on this forum was asking the same and I also tried the admin pw on the inside of the printer. Still the system tells me the password is wrong. I don't know anymore what to do. The printer had no issues when I first had it set up and now it's behaving like many people say. Impossible to install. Please help

Hi @mine32,

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

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

I understand the issue you're experiencing is common when reconnecting an HP printer like the LaserJet M110w to a new WiFi network. The printer requests a password because it's in WiFi Direct or Auto Wireless Connect mode. Here's how to resolve it:

Steps to Connect Your Printer to the New WiFi Network:

Reset Network Settings on the Printer:

• Press and hold the Wireless button on the printer for about 5 seconds or until the wireless light starts blinking. This resets the network settings, allowing you to start fresh.

Reconnect the Printer to WiFi:

• Option 1: Using the HP Smart App:
  1. Install the HP Smart app on your iOS device if you haven't already.
  2. Open the app and tap Add Printer.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up the printer on your new network.
     • During this process, the app will guide you to temporarily connect to the printer’s WiFi (e.g., HP-Setup-LaserJet-M110w).
     • If prompted for a password, use the default "12345678".
  4. After connecting, the app will transfer your new WiFi network credentials to the printer.
• Option 2: WPS Push Button Method:
  1. Ensure your router has a WPS button.
  2. Press and hold the Wireless button on the printer until it starts blinking.
  3. Press the WPS button on your router within 2 minutes.
  4. The printer will connect to the WiFi automatically.

Re-add the Printer on Your Device:

• After the printer is connected to the WiFi, go to your iOS device's Settings > Printers & Scanners and add the printer again.

If the Password Issue Persists:

• Confirm you’re entering the WiFi Direct default password (usually "12345678").
• Check the printer label or user manual for the default WiFi Direct password, if different.
• Reset the printer to factory settings:
  1. Turn off the printer.
  2. Press and hold both the Wireless button and Cancel button together.
  3. Turn the printer back on while holding these buttons until all lights blink.

Troubleshooting Tips:

• Ensure the printer and your iOS device are on the same network.
• Avoid 5 GHz networks; the LaserJet M110w supports only 2.4 GHz WiFi.
