WiFi not connecting - need to reinstall HP Deskjet 4133e printer

[Aggiefab]

My problems started when my HP Deskjet 4133e stopped connecting to my WIFI. After trying to find out how to fix this problem, I decided to uninstall my printer and reinstall it hoping this would work.  I tried reinstalling the printer manually but it did not come up as available.  I've researched HP's support pages and cannot find the correct solution.  So now my printer's WIFI light is still blinking and my printer is not connected to my PC.  Any helped would be greatly appreciated.  I've spent hours trying to fix these problems. It shouldn't be this difficult. Thanks

Hi @Aggiefab,

Welcome to the HP Support Community

I understand you are facing a blinking light issue with your HP Deskjet 4133e printer  WIFI light is blinking  WiFi not connecting. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

To assist you better:

• How far is the printer located from the WiFi router?
• Do you have a dual-band router?
• If you have a dual-band router and both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks share the same name/SSID, the printer will not be able to connect to the network. In this case, contact your Internet service provider to assign different names to both networks.

While you respond to that, Let's perform a power drain: 

• With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Remove USB cable, if present.
• Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
• Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
• Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle
