Out of nowhere my printer no longer is connected to the laptop, I can't seem to add it back.

[19-58]

All of a sudden my HP printer no longer works with my dell laptop.  I've been using it for long time and all of sudden I can't print.  I had updated my windows 10  couple days prior which may have caused this???  My printer used to be a wifi but once I updated my router, printer was no longer compatible so I connect printer to laptop with USB, which has worked fine but now I can't seem to reconnect it.  I tried to go through the  setup directions but it asks for the pin number which I no longer have.  what next?

You may need to reset the printer:

• Power off the printer by pressing the power button.
• Disconnect the power cable from the printer.
• Wait for approximately 10 seconds.
• Reconnect the power cable to the printer.
• Press and hold the Resume button while turning on the printer. Keep holding the button until all the lights on the control panel become active.
• Once all the lights are on, release the Resume button.
• The printer will initialize and begin the factory reset process. This may take a few minutes.
• Once the factory reset is complete, the printer will restart.

The printer will remain in setup mode for 2 hours as I recall. Maybe only 2 minutes (?) if trying that WPS or pushbutton method.
