Deskjet 2700 without touch screen - can't move to new router

[Lindyg3]

HP Deskjet 2700 All-in-One Printer series without touch screen

I have tried to move my printer to our new router and I am going slowly mad.  There doesn't seem to be a way to connect it to the new wifi and input the password.  Previously I could access it from both my iphone and laptop and now neither can find it.  I have read various bits of guidance online but nothing seems to work.

Help!

Wi-Fi connection

Ideally, your Wi-Fi printer should connect to the modem or router. If your network has multiple boosters / repeaters, it is possible the printer may connect randomly to any of the units. The modem needs to provide the same IP address on every connection. This rarely happens with random connects. An alternate Wi-Fi connection is Wi-Fi direct. Your laptop or smartphone prints directly to the printer and does not go through the modem.

This video shows how to connect to the router: 2700 2755 2710
Wi-Fi Direct can be used to avoid configuring the router. Watch this: 2700
A simple connection to the modem can be done by using the WPS pushbutton method. This is explained on page 22 in this User Manual.

Software

HP updates software periodically. Downloads shown below may be old. You should always visit the Software and Download page to look for new releases. You may need to select an operating system (OS) first. If windows 11 is missing then use 10. You can go as far back as Windows 7, 64bit to get missing drivers. After selecting the OS click the blue Open all button to view all downloads.

Full function printer drivers can be downloaded here: 2700

Printer Reference

One or more printer reference is listed below. Typically your printer may be part of a series and use the same software and manual. The exact spec may be different.

Specifications for your system: 2700 2710 2755

The printer supports both the 2.4ghz and the 5ghz band.
You may want to force the printer to use only one band. This can prevent it from getting a different IP address depending on the band it connects to. Watch this video to see how to set the band.

Let me know if you have a flex system (WiFi boosters or repeaters) as the setup is much more complicated.
