General help for new modem (for your reference) 
1 - Restore Wi-Fi setup mode on your HP printer
2 - Wi-Fi connection is lost after router or network settings change
3 - HP Smart help with printer connection.

 

Click here for network setup using HP Smart but in a different language

you may need to reset the printer video here

setup using smartphone

if no smartphone the wps pushbutton method is described on page 56 of the users manual. i think you have only 2 minutes press the WPS button on the modem once you select WPS setup in the printer.

Wifi direct setup video. This does not require that you have a modem. This video also works for 3720, 3721, 3722, 3730, 3732, 3733, 3735, 3750, 3752, 3755, 3758, 3760, 3762, 3764, 3775, 3776, 3778, 3785, 3786, 3787, 3788, 3789, 3790

Let me know if you have a flex system (WiFi boosters or repeaters) as the setup is much more complicated.

Thank you for the detailed response. The 3762 does not have a touch screen.  I have tried holding cancel and WiFi buttons as you suggest. The WiFi blue light blinks. Does not become stray. HP smart on my pc cannot find the printer and designated it as offline. Is there anything else I can try?

=====Direct Wi-Fi mode====

Your desktop PC has to have WiFi enabled.  The printer operates in both the 2.4 and 5ghz bands

 

HP Smart on your desktop we'll try to find the SSID or Wi-fi name of the printer.

Your 3762 has to be in Wi-fi Direct mode.


Wifi direct setup video. This does not require that you have a modem. This video also works for 3720, 3721, 3722, 3730, 3732, 3733, 3735, 3750, 3752, 3755, 3758, 3760, 3762, 3764, 3775, 3776, 3778, 3785, 3786, 3787, 3788, 3789, 3790

 

Once in wifi direct mode then get a network printout report to find the DIRECT SSID or name

 

for example

LANSTATUSIP addressSSIDPassword
WiFienabled192.168.1.15ATT-ARRIS-2 .4GuessAgain
WiFi-directenabled192.168.23.1DIRECT-WHATEVERBadGuess
Wireddisabled   
USBdisabled   

 

 

Connecting to a router / modem.  Since the printer doesn't come with a wizard network app, you will need to use either a smartphone with HP Smart on it or just use the WPS push button method.  Let me know if you want to run connect the printer to a router instead of using Wi-fi direct.

I DID IT!

 

I may have made an error in following the steps given. I think I tried to use FIND PRINTER instead of ADD PRINTER. When I adjusted that the pc did everything else. The printer is now working with my desktop PC and my mobile phone. 

 

Thanks for the help.
