My smarttank 5101 printer will not connect to my wifi network. It was connected, cat (or WIFE) unplugged cord from wall. Printer came back on searching for a network (blue wifi symbol was flashing). When I go through the HP app and entered my network password, it comes back saying password not correct and has an error that just says -3. I have removed the printer and tried to re add the printer. it asks if I want to use my phone to help connect. If I say yes (continue) it just goes to a black screen. When I enter the password option it I get the incorrect password error. I can only use the printer with a usb cable plugged in. It will not connect to the network. Worst of all is the Non Existent support from HP.com. I bought my printer in April, it's now the beginning of June and the factory warranty is already expired forcing me to pay $19.99 for 1 call to support?!
