On the front of the printer: Setup > Network > Restore Network Defaults. Now from the same Network menu, run the Wireless Setup WIzard. Follow the instructions to connect your printer to your new router.
If you are on Windows: Start > Control Panel > Printers. Delete all instances of the printer.
Finally, re-add the printer in this way:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing. Get its IP from a Network Test printed from the front panel of the printer.
2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Printers.
3. Click the Add a printer
4. Select Local printer
5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's IP address. Click Next.
7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
10. You may be asked to share the printer. Choose NO.
11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
12. Click Finish.

Hello,
I also have the HP Officejet 6310 and was attempting to connect it with the wireless router via ethernet cable. No luck. The printer shows up as offline. I printed a test sheet, as was suggested above, and the IP address is showing up as 0.0.0.0
I'm not sure what I am doing wrong? I did unplug / replug the modem before running the test sheet. I also rebooted the printer and my computer before testing. If it makes a difference, I am using Mac OSX 10.6.8.
