Hi @LS27,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
I'd like to help!
I understand you would like to change the network on the printer.
Connect the printer using the HP Smart app
Restore Wi-Fi setup mode on the printer, and then use HP Smart to connect the printer to your Wi-Fi network.
Restore Wi-Fi setup mode on the printer
Prepare a printer for a Wi-Fi connection by restoring Wi-Fi setup mode.
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.
OR
Connect the printer using Wi-Fi Protected Setup
Use 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.
