Need to change SSID on wireless printer photosmart c4780

[Cloo98]

Hi,

I recently upgraded my router and now my printer will not connect to the network. I ran a test and it says the SSID doesn't match. Is there a simple way to fix this? Thank you so much

Replacing/changing your wireless router, try here. 

http://www.hp.com/global/au/en/wireless/reconfiguring-system-help3.html

Make sure your router is set to a fixed wireless channel like 1, 6 or 11, never ‘auto’.  Try channel 1 first then the others one at a time.  Make sure printer and router are at least 5 feet apart.

Make and model of modem and router?

However if you have a Gateway (modem+router) device, all Gateway devices are terrible for wireless connectivity.   If this does not work, suggest you put that gateway device in full bridge mode and install your own high quality router that YOU have full control over.

Hi,

Apologies for jumping in.

As there is no HP Full Feature Software for your operating system a such should be done by creating a temporary ad hoc connection as following:
 

1. Reset the wireless settings:
   Press the top button next to Wireless / Scan then press the button next to Wireless Menu.
   Press the button next to Restore Network Defaults and follow the prompt to confirm.
2. Turn the wireless radio on:
   Press the top button next to Wireless / Scan then press the button next to Wireless Menu.
   Press the button next to Enable Wireless if available
3. Restart the printer by turning it off and then back on, then ensure the wireless radio is on and the blue wirelesss light blinks.
4. On your Mac, click the WiFi icon and select Join Other Network.
   Click Show Networks and connect to the hpsetup network.
   Note: if no hpsetup network appear, try restarting the printer and ensure that both the Mac and the printer are close to each other, but not closer than 2 meters away.
5. Open Safari, then click the top Safari menu and select Preferences
   Within the Advanced tab check both of the boxes next to Bonjour and close the window using the red X.
6. Click the top Bookmarks menu and select Bonjour, then select your printer name.
7. Open the  Network / Wireless tab and look for a Wireless Setup Wizard option.
   If there is no such select Advanced within teh Wireless (802.11) section and follow the steps on screen to select your SSID and set your network password.
8. The blue wireless light on the printer should solid lit wonce confirming the changes, then return your Mac to your home network.

Please let me know of any problem,

Shlomi

Hi,

This also did not help me. The printer is still not detected in airport. Also I think I have to update bonjour

Hi,

Where you able to access the printer EWS page?

Can you see the wireless light blinks, solid lit or off?

[Cloo98]

The wireless light is on, I'm not sure what the EWS page is??

Also I have a FIOS gateway router, with three different passwords for three different set ups
