Hi @lsnecken,
I'd like to help!
I understand you would like to connect your printer to the new network.
Try the below suggestions -
Connect the printer using the HP Smart app
Restore the printer to the default network settings, and then use HP Smart to connect the printer to your Wi-Fi network.
Restore network default settings on the printer
Prepare a printer for a Wi-Fi connection by restoring its default network settings.
When the settings are restored, the printer enters Wi-Fi setup mode for about two hours, making it discoverable during the HP software installation.
-
Most printers with a touchscreen: From the Wireless
or Setup
menu, select Network setup or Settings, and then select Restore Network Settings.
-
Most inkjet printers without a touchscreen: Press and hold the Wireless
and Cancel
buttons until the Power button flashes, and then wait for the Wireless light to flash.
-
Most Laser printers without a touchscreen or control panel menu: Press and hold the Wireless button until the Attention
and Power lights flash, or press and hold the Wireless
and Cancel
buttons until the Wireless light flashes (Laser NS, Neverstop). The printer might restart.
-
Most LaserJet printers without a touchscreen: Press and hold the Wireless button
until the Attention light
flashes, and then wait for the Wireless light to flash.
-
Envy 6000, 6000e, 6400e, ENVY Pro 6400, DeskJet Plus IA 6000, 6400, and Tango printers: Press and hold the Wireless button
on the back of the printer for five seconds until the Status light flashes (blue or purple depending on the model).
Go to Restore Wi-Fi setup mode on your HP printer for additional information and button presses for more printer models.
You may also try Using the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) button on your router to connect the printer to your Wi-Fi network.
-
Place the printer near the Wi-Fi router.
-
Put the printer in WPS connection mode.
-
Most printers without a touchscreen control panel: Press and hold the Wireless button
for five seconds or until the wireless light starts to flash.
-
HP Deskjet 6000 and 6400, ENVY 6000 and 6400, and Tango printers: Press and hold the Wi-Fi button
and the Power button on the back of the printer for five seconds until the blue bar flashes.
-
-
Within two minutes, press and hold the WPS button
on the router until the connection process begins.
-
Wait for the Wireless light or bar on the printer to stop flashing. The printer is now connected to the network.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
