Hi @LuluMcB,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

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

 

To connect your HP printer to a new internet hub, follow these steps.

 

Ensure Printer and Hub are On: Make sure both your printer and new internet hub are powered on.

Check Network Settings:

  • On the Printer: Navigate to the printer’s control panel. Look for the network or wireless settings menu.
  • Find Wi-Fi Settings: Select the option to connect to a wireless network or Wi-Fi settings.

Select Your Network:

  • Locate Your Network: Your printer should search for available networks. Select your new internet hub’s network name (SSID) from the list.
  • Enter Password: Enter the Wi-Fi password for your new network when prompted. Make sure you enter it correctly.

Confirm Connection:

  • Check Printer Status: Once connected, your printer’s control panel should show that it’s connected to the network.
  • Print Network Configuration: If available, print a network configuration page to verify the connection.

Update Printer Software:

  • On Your Computer: Open the HP Smart app or printer software on your computer.
  • Add Printer: Follow the prompts to add your printer. It should detect the printer on the new network.
  • Install Drivers: If necessary, download and install the latest drivers for your printer from HP’s website.

Restart Devices:

  • Restart Printer and Hub: If you still encounter issues, try restarting both the printer and the new internet hub.

Troubleshoot Connection:

  • Check for Interference: Ensure there are no obstructions or interference between your printer and the new hub.
  • Verify Network Settings: Ensure the new internet hub is properly configured and broadcasting.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
