I have had to replace my broadband modem and router, and my previous installation of my HP Deskjet 3755 no longer works. I have uninstalled the HP software and removed the printer from my device list, but, when I try to download and reinstall the software, I receive the message that the printer is already installed, and the process stops there. I tried reinstalling using a USB cable, but my printer is still listed as offline. It is running me in circles. What do I do to reinstall the WiFi connectivity using my new modem and router?

Hi @Tsoshuwi,
I'd like to help!
I understand you changed the router and would like to connect the printer to the new network.
Please try the steps below to connect your printer to the network.-
● Press the Wireless button ((i)) and the Cancel button (X) from the printer control panel at the same time, and then hold them for three seconds.
--->On the printer control panel, press the Wi-Fi Direct button.
---> When Wi-Fi Direct is turned on, the Wi-Fi Direct light is on steady.
--->To find the Wi-Fi Direct name and password, press the Information button (i) for 3 secs to print a printer information page.
--->On your computer or phone go to wifi and connect it to your printer
--->Select your printer with DIRECT in the name from the list of available networks (example: DIRECT-74-HP 3700)
Or 3600
--->Select the Wi-Fi Direct printer signal in Wi-Fi settings
--->If prompted for a password, type 12345678. This is the default password.
--->Now open a browser and type 192.168.223.1
--->you will be able to access the printer's EWS page
--->on the page, you will find network - click on it
--->go to wireless and select wireless setup wizard
--->now select the network that you want your printer to connect to and type in the password
--->the wireless blue light will stop blinking once the printer is connected
--->then connect your phone back to your network
