Hi @Lluviasarai 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! We're here to help you get back up and running.

HP printers cannot store multiple Wi-Fi networks simultaneously. They can only be connected to one wireless network at a time. 

Here's how to manage your setup between home and work:

Your Options

1. Switch Wi-Fi Networks Manually

Each time you move the printer:

• Use the Wireless Setup Wizard on the printer’s touchscreen:
  • Go to Setup > Network Settings > Wireless Setup Wizard
  • Select the new Wi-Fi network and enter the password
• Or use the HP Smart app to reconnect:
  • Restore Wi-Fi setup mode by pressing and holding the Wireless + Cancel buttons for 5 seconds until the blue light blinks
  • Open the HP Smart app and follow the prompts to connect to the new network

2. Use Wi-Fi Direct (If Available)

Wi-Fi Direct allows printing without a router:

• Enable Wi-Fi Direct on the printer (usually under Wireless Settings)
• Connect your device to the printer’s Wi-Fi Direct network (e.g., HP-Print-xx-OfficeJet)
• Print directly from your device

⚠️ If nothing is printing:

• Ensure the printer is not in sleep mode
• Confirm the document is being sent to the correct printer queue
• Try printing from the HP Smart app or a supported mobile app

3. Use USB or Ethernet at Work

If switching networks is inconvenient:

• Connect the printer via USB or Ethernet at work
• This bypasses Wi-Fi entirely and avoids reconfiguration
