Changing SSID on M217 Laserjet

[DMS78]

Got a new FIOS wireless router and I need to change the SSID setting in the printer to the new SSID (and corresponding password) associated with the new router.  Can I do all this through the printer's keyboard?

Hi @DMS78 ,

I see that you would like to setup the printer on the new wireless router. I will certainly do my best to help you.

I have provided steps for configuring the wireless for the FIOS wireless router through the wireless direct to infrastructure or if the router supports WPS setup you can follow the document below for more information.

Restore the printers defaults.
Go to Setup (wrench button) on the printer, select Network Config, select Restore Defaults.

Turn the Wireless Direct feature on, on the printer.

Go to Setup, Network Config, Wireless Menu, Wireless Direct and turn it on.

From the Wireless icon on the computer, connect to the printer's network name.

Print a Configuration Report to get the Wireless Direct IP address.

Printing Information Pages.

Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar.

Click on the Networking tab.

Select Wireless on the left hand side of the window and fill out your network information.

Apply the settings.

Then connect back to your network name from the Wireless icon.

Then go into Devices and Printers, right click the printer and left click Printer Properties, select the Ports tab.

Click Add Port, select Standard TCP/IP Port, then select New Port and follow the wizard.

Type in the proper IP address for the printer. You will need to print the Configuration page to get the printer's IPv4 address. Printing a Configuration Report.
Make sure the printer is online.

Test the printer.

Here is a document for setting up the printer through WPS if your router supports it or a USB connection to configure the wireless. Setting Up the Printer for a Wired or Wireless Network for the HP LaserJet Pro M1217nfw Multifunctio...

If you need further assistance, just let me know.

Have a great day!
Thank You.

This also applies to other models such as the HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175. It is the only useful answer so far, if you do NOT want to use an ethernet or USB connection (and WPS does NOT work, as is the case with my printer/router combination) to setup/repair a wireless connection to your printer.

It is a pity it took me such a long time to find this information among the sea of irrelevant and roundabout answers. There is one addition I'd like to make about the contribution by Gemini02. 

The third step, "Print a Configuration Report to get the Wireless Direct IP address" is totally unnecessary and a waste of resources. As soon as you have made a wireless connection between computer and printer (in step 2), the IP address of the printer is easy to retrieve. On e.g. a Windows PC go to Explorer, 'Network' and find the name of the wireless printer. Right-click on it and choose 'visit printer's webpage'. Et voila, the IP address and the printer's managment page will show up in the printer.

(I don't know what it is, but all HP instructions seem intent upon destroying the woods by having users print out even such a silly thing as an IP address or an SSID. The fact that HP devices have On Screen Displays, but still to refuse to display useful information in any other way than making a print is, frankly, a disgrace, as it is anti-environmental).
