HP ENVY Pro 6452 All-in-One Printer

Shouldn't this be easy?

 

I changed my modem and hence my network name changed. After dozens of repeated attempts following every instruction I could find, I finally, after hours, got my printer connected to HP Smart.

 

I cannot however add it to my "Devices and printers" on the computer. After it asks me for the printer pin, which I enter immediately, it says "Your printer quit waiting. Try adding it again".

 

Why don't these things work out of the box?

 

Please help.

Thank you for sharing the steps you've already tried to connect your printer to the new Wi-Fi on both your PC and phone. To help resolve the issue, please follow the steps below—I hope this will get everything working smoothly!

Restore the printer to the original network settings:
