Hi @ek51,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
Thanks for the update. I’m glad to hear you were able to get it fixed.
For anyone else running into the same issue after changing a Wi-Fi password: many HP LaserJet printers can only connect to a 2.4 GHz network. If your router is set to 5 GHz only (or auto-switching), the printer may get stuck at the Wi-Fi password step during setup. Switching to 2.4 GHz, or temporarily disabling 5 GHz while reconnecting the printer, usually resolves the problem.
Appreciate you sharing the solution 👍
I hope this helps.
