Hi @Fran1963,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

Do not worry, I'd be happy to help you!

I understand that you are facing issues with connecting to your new WIFI.

request you to follow the below troubleshooting steps from the document fix:-

If you purchased a new router, changed your Internet Service Provider (ISP), or changed your network name and password, your printer cannot connect to your network.

Connect the printer to the wireless network

Use the Wireless Setup Wizard from the printer control panel to connect your printer to your local Wi-Fi network.

Place the printer near the Wi-Fi router.

Make sure paper is loaded in the main tray, and then turn on the printer.

On the printer, select Restore Network Defaults from the Wireless, Settings, or Restore Settings menu.

Get the network name and password. Go to this article. for more information.

Select Wireless Setup Wizard from the Wireless, Settings, or Network Setup menu.

Select the name of your wireless network, and then enter the password.

NOTE: If the Wireless Setup Wizard is not listed, select Wi-Fi Protected Setup or WPS, select Push Button, and then follow the steps to connect to the network.

Connect the printer to the wireless network (printers without a touchscreen)
For printers without a display, use Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), HP Smart, or temporarily connect a USB cable to set up the wireless connection.
If one method does not work, try another method.
Connect the printer using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (printers without a touchscreen)
Use the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) button on your router to connect the printer to your wireless network.
Place the printer near the Wi-Fi router.
Make sure paper is loaded in the main tray, and then turn on the printer.
On the printer control panel, press and hold the Wireless button for at least 5 seconds or until the light starts blinking. For Tango printers, press and hold the Wireless and Power buttons on the rear of the printer until the blue bar flashes.
Within two minutes, press and hold the WPS button on the router until the connection process begins.
Wait for the light on the printer to stop blinking.

Connect the printer using the HP Smart app

Use the HP Smart app to connect the printer to your wireless network.

Download the HP Smart app from 123.hp.com (Android, iOS, iPadOS), HP Smart - Microsoft Store (in English), or HP Smart - Mac App Store (in English).

Prepare the printer for a wireless network connection.

Connect the printer with a temporary USB connection

Use a temporary USB connection from your computer to your printer to connect the printer to your wireless network.

NOTE:

HP Tango printers do not support setting up a wireless network connection with a USB cable.

Connect the printer with a temporary USB connection (Windows)

Temporarily connect the printer to the computer with a USB cable, and then change the connection to wireless in HP Printer Assistant.

Search Windows for HP, and then click your printer name from the list of results. If the printer software is not installed on your computer, go to 123.hp.com to download and install it.

Click the Utilities tab.

Click Printer Setup & Software, and then click Reconfigure Wireless Settings.

Follow the instructions to change the wireless settings.
