This HP printer worked fine until I had to unplug it temporarily. Now the blue wireless icon keeps blinking and my MacPro cannot find the printer.

Hi @CPot,

 

I'd like to help!

 

I understand you are unable to connect the printer to your mac.

 

The blinking blue wireless light indicates that the printer is not connected to the network.

 

Connect the printer to the Wi-Fi network (printers with a touchscreen)

Use the Wireless Setup Wizard from the printer control panel to connect the printer to your Wi-Fi network.

  1. Place the printer near the network router.

  2. Make sure paper is loaded in the main tray, and then turn on the printer.

  3. From the Wireless  or Setup  menu, select Network setup or Settings, and then select Restore Network Settings.

  4. Get the network name and password. Go to Find the wireless network password or PIN to connect an HP printer for more information.

  5. From the Setup, Network, or Wireless settings menu, select Wireless Setup Wizard.

  6. Select your network, and then enter the password.

    NOTE: 

    If the Wireless Setup Wizard is not listed, select Wi-Fi Protected Setup or WPS, select Push Button, and then follow the steps to connect to the network.

Refer to-  Wi-Fi connection is lost after router or network settings change

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

I solved the problem by carrying my printer downstairs very close to the router, then restarting the router then the printer. I was then able to re-establish the connection by re-entering the router's PW. When I returned the printer on the second floor to it's usual position, the link remained even after closing and re-opening the printer.
