Product: Deskjet 2540

Changed internet providers since buying the printer and need to connect it to the new network.

None of the instructions I find online are helpful as they either talk about setting it up for the first time or give steps for a printer with a touchscreen, which this doesn't have, eventhough I searched with the serial number and model name/number.

Please help, I'm one more failed attempt away from launching it across the room!

Restore network settings to default settings.

Press the Wireless button and the Cancel button from the printer control panel at the same time, and then hold them for5 seconds.

 

Page 47

Wireless settings - various methods

 

If the printer is on your network, use the Embedded Web Server (EWS) to check / configure your printer

 

Example

HP_8630_EWS_Network_Static_IP_1HP_8630_EWS_Network_Static_IP_1HP_8630_EWS_Network_1CHP_8630_EWS_Network_1C

 

Expect the network connection to break when you Apply changes.

Wait a minute, then open a new EWS window.
