I have updated my WiFi password. My printer does not work anymore. Can someone please lay out step by step how to reconnect?
I have tried to follow the steps recommended by Hari80 in this thread but I cannot find Printer Utility or Network Settings to get to the WiFi wizard: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printing-Errors-or-Lights-Stuck-Print-Jobs/Reconnect-printer-after-wif...

The front panel display of your printer does not have the feature of entering a password or selecting an SSID. The easiest way to re-configure the printer is to use the WPS pushbutton or PIN method as listed on page 56 of the users manual.
Your router may have a physical WPS button that can be pushed. The 2.4ghz band encryption must be wpa2 and I assume you selected the channel with the least noise. Most modems have an app to do that.
Pages 5 and 6 show features. Make sure that Wi-Fi is enabled and the printer is NOT in Wi-Fi direct mode.
Pushbutton method (page 56) press the wireless button on the printer for 3 seconds then you have 2 minutes to go to your modem and press the WPS button. If no WPS button then you need to use the PIN method as described.
lemme know if a problem.

Thank you. However, neither the Push method or the PIN method are working. I have tried the PUSH method with my Xfinity router, it blinks orange for a second then turns to white. I have tried the WPS PIN method but Xfinity does not support this method for my router model.
Surely there is another way to reconfigure? I am able to connect via WiFi Direct Access to the printer.
