There are several 8500 printers, which one do you have?
HP Industrial Printers HP LaserJet Printers |
You mentioned that your other laptop connects fine.
Please configure the printer to connect to the modem or router and not directly to the laptop. Possibly one of your laptops is using the 2.4ghz band and the other one is using the 5ghz band. Alternately, the WiFi encryption mode (wpa 1, 2 or 3) used by the printer is not available for one of the laptops.
