Is the wireless light on the printer still blinking? If it is not, what is being displayed as the IP address of the printer?
If it is still blinking, then your printer is not connected to the network and you will need to perform Wireless Setup WIzard or WPS to connect it to the new router.
Also, what is the brand and model of your router? This router was just purchased, correct?
Thanks

The wirless light is steady blue, not blinking.
No, the router is not new, just new to this location and it is a Motorla Gateway Surfboard.
It worked great until I swapped routers to keep from paying Time Warner $6.00 per month lease.
I am not highly trained in technology, just a do it yourselfer.
I thought about deleting printer and adding but it just a new problem since the installation CD is now not working and the printer has no ethernet port.
Now Wireless Set up or WPS as in on the front of my printer?
Thank you for your patience and prompt reply.

If the wireless setup wizard and/or WPS is unable to connect the printer to the Surfboard then we may have to login to the Surfboard and change some settings.

I am sorry, but nothing I am doing is working.
My Surfboard, best I can tell, has no pushbutton, just a hidden reset button that has to be pushed with tip of ink pen. I am afraid it will mess up internet.
You are very, very helpful, I just don't know why it is not working.

Entering the IP address in the browser will not work until the printer is connected and has an IP address.
Try Wireless Setup Wizard and if that doesnt work we will need to login to the Surfboard.
Thanks
