After moving and changing networks, I can't get my printer online. After 2 days I'm about to give up and go buy a wired printer. I feel like I've tried everything from the "wizard" to direct set-up and nothing works.

The HP model is 6978 (office jet pro) ~ otherwise I can only see a SN# or a FP# I don't know if either one of those helps?
