We changed our internet provider to ATT fiber and now our printer will not print. I changed the network name and password.
It shows Wifi Direct ON and Network Wifi On. Hp eprint shows OFF. I already unplugged both the computer and printer and restarted both

@CVEE, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
When you change your internet provider (like switching to AT&T Fiber), your printer needs to be reconnected to the new Wi-Fi network, even if you reused the same network name and password. Here's how to get your HP LaserJet Pro MFP M227fdw back online:
Option 1: Use the Printer Control Panel
- On the printer's Home screen, tap the Wireless icon.
- Select Settings > Wireless Setup Wizard.
- The printer will search for available networks. Select your new Wi-Fi network.
- Enter the Wi-Fi password using the touchscreen keypad.
- Once connected, the Wireless light should turn solid blue.
Option 2: Use HP Smart App (Recommended)
- Download or open the HP Smart app on your computer or mobile device:
HP Smart - Make sure your device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
- In the app, tap Add Printer or Set Up a New Printer.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to connect your printer to Wi-Fi.
Additional Checks
- Wi-Fi Direct being ON is okay, but it’s not the same as being connected to your home network.
- HP ePrint being OFF is fine unless you specifically use that feature.
- Restarting the printer and computer was a good step, thanks for trying that!
Test the Connection
After reconnecting:
- Print a Network Configuration Page from the printer’s control panel to confirm connection.
- Try printing a test page from your computer.
