connect my printer to a new router/wi-fi

[walt12341]

HP Laser Jet Pro MFP M29w Printer, I changed the router and my printer does not recognize it.

How can I download and install a driver so the printer would work?

Before installing the new driver do I need to delete the old one?

Thanks

2. Connect the Printer to the New Network

Initiate Wireless Setup:

• On the printer's control panel, go to the Wireless menu and select Wireless Setup Wizard or a similar option.

Select New Network:

• The printer will search for available networks. Choose your new Wi-Fi network from the list.

Enter Network Password:

• Input the Wi-Fi password for your new network when prompted. Ensure that you enter it correctly to establish a connection.

Confirm Connection:

• Once connected, the printer should confirm the new network settings. You can print a network configuration page if needed to verify the connection.
