I have a HP laser Jet pro MFP m29w that I am trying to link with my HP all in one computer for a print job.  It shows a century Link network as its ssid connection. This is  a server I no longer use and need to change this address to the new address that I now use so the computer and printer can connect. Anyu sugestions.

Hi @Mellowsdad,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

I understand that your HP LaserJet Pro MFP M29w is still configured for your old CenturyLink Wi-Fi network, and you want to connect it to your new Wi-Fi network so it can communicate with your HP All-in-One computer.

 

The printer stores the previous wireless network information, so it needs to be configured with the credentials for your new Wi-Fi network.

Connect the printer to your new Wi-Fi network.

Turn on the printer and make sure it is in a ready state.

Connect your computer or phone to your new Wi-Fi network.

Open the HP Smart app.

Select Add Printer and follow the on-screen instructions to connect the M29w to the new Wi-Fi network.

Once setup is complete, confirm that the printer and computer are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.

Try printing a test document.

 

If HP Smart cannot find the printer because it is still configured for the old CenturyLink network, the printer's wireless settings may need to be reset before it can be configured again.

 

If that happens, let me know, and I can provide the appropriate steps to reset the M29w's wireless settings and place it back into Wi-Fi setup mode.
