Hi @Momma_Jayne,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To change the network that your HP printer is connected to, you'll need to follow these general steps. Keep in mind that the exact steps might vary slightly depending on the model of your HP printer.

Access the Printer's Control Panel:

• On the printer's control panel, look for a menu or settings button. This is usually a touchscreen display or a series of buttons on the printer.

Navigate to Network Settings:

• Use the control panel to navigate to the network settings or setup menu. The exact wording may vary, but it should be something related to "Network" or "Wireless Setup."

Select Wireless Setup or Change Network:

• Look for an option that allows you to set up a wireless connection or change the current network settings. This may be labeled as "Wireless Setup Wizard" or something similar.

Choose the New Network:

• The printer will likely scan for available wireless networks. Select the new network you want your printer to connect to.

Enter Network Credentials:

• If the network is secured with a password, you will be prompted to enter the network password or passphrase. Use the keypad or on-screen keyboard to input the required information.

Confirm and Save:

• After entering the network credentials, confirm the settings and save the changes. The printer will attempt to connect to the new network.

Print a Test Page:

• Once the connection is established, it's a good idea to print a test page to ensure that the printer is working correctly on the new network.

Keep in mind that if you're changing the network, devices that were connected to the printer on the old network may need to be reconfigured to use the new network as well.

I hope this helps. 
 

Take care and have a good day.
