I recently moved to a new home and am having trouble getting my wireless printer to connect to my new wifi router. I probably mistakenly deleted the printer from my computer thinking it would help reconnect when I added it back, but now my computer doesn't seem to see the printer at all, as I can't seem to get it added back nor can I get it connected to the wifi. I have tried all the various instruction options out there including using the HP app and all the other options to add it back to no avail. I can't even seem to get Wi-Fi Direct to work. I get the generated passwords but then it fails after spinning for a bit after I enter it. Does anyone have any insight on what could be wrong or what else I can try? I have spent hours trying to figure this out on my own and am soooooo frustrated. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

The issue is that I deleted the printer from my computer, but it is still in the HP app so I it won't let me re-add it to the app. I found where I could "remove" it from the app, which it did but, it said it would still stay in there. Is there a way to delete it from the app totally and then re-add it? OR is there a way to reconnect it back to my computer?
