Hi @mouse423,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.
No problem, reconnecting your HP printer to Wi-Fi after a network change can feel tricky, but I’ll make it simple for you:
Step 1: Restore Wi-Fi Setup Mode
Most HP printers need to be put back into setup mode:
- Press and hold the Wireless button and the Cancel (X) button together for about 5 seconds until the blue wireless light starts blinking.
- This means the printer is ready to connect to a new network.
Step 2: Use HP App
- Download or open the HP App – For HP Printers, Laptops, and Tech Accessories | HP® Official Site.
- Tap Add Printer and follow the prompts to connect the printer to your Wi-Fi.
- Make sure your device and printer are on the same network.
Step 3: Check Router Settings
- Ensure you’re using 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (many HP printers don’t support 5 GHz).
- If your router has WPS, you can press the WPS button on the router and then press the Wireless button on the printer until the light stops blinking.
Step 4: Confirm Connection
- The blue wireless light should turn solid when connected.
- Print a Network Configuration Page (usually by pressing the Info button) to verify the IP address.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have an amazing day!
