Hi @Alisa18 ,

 

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

 

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

 

I understand you are trying to reset your HP LaserJet MFP M140we printer and connect it to your new Wi-Fi network, follow these steps:

Step 1: Reset the Printer's Network Settings

  1. Turn on your printer.
  2. Access the control panel: This printer may have a basic display or use buttons for setup.
  3. Reset the network settings:
    • Press and hold the Wireless button (looks like a Wi-Fi symbol) and the Cancel button (red X) together for about 5 seconds.
    • Release the buttons when the wireless light starts blinking.

Step 2: Reconnect the Printer to the Wi-Fi Network

Option 1: Using HP Smart App

Download and install the HP Smart app on your smartphone or computer.

HP printer setup (HP Smart app) | HP® Support

Open the HP Smart app and create an HP account if you don't have one.

Add your printer:

  • Click on the "+" (plus) sign to add a new printer.
  • Follow the on-screen instructions to find and connect your printer. The app will guide you through connecting your printer to the new Wi-Fi network.

Option 2: Using WPS (if your router supports it)

  1. Press the WPS button on your router.
  2. Press and hold the Wireless button on your printer for about 3 seconds or until the wireless light starts blinking.
  3. Wait for the printer to establish a connection with your Wi-Fi network. The wireless light should become solid once connected.

Step 3: Verify the Connection

  1. Print a Network Configuration Report to ensure the printer is connected to the correct network.
    • On your printer, press and hold the Wireless button and the Information button (i button) together for about 5 seconds.
    • The printer will print out a network configuration page showing the connection status.
