If the software is already installed, which it sounds like it is, use the Wireless Setup Wizard to reconnect the printer:

 

The Wireless Setup Wizard provides an easy way to set up and manage the wireless connection to your printer.
  1. On the printer control panel, touch the Right Arrow to display the second navigation screen.
  2. Touch the Setup icon .
  3. Touch Network, touch Wireless Setup Wizard, then touch Continue.
    Figure : Example of Network menu

  4. Touch the name of your network in the list of available networks, then touch OK.
    Figure : Example of network names
    Image: Network names
  5. If the list does not contain your network name, touch Enter New Network Name, then follow the on-screen instructions to enter your network name.
  6. If prompted, type the WEP or WPA key (network password).
     NOTE:
    If a connection error message displays, make sure you typed the uppercase (capital) and lowercase (small) letters for the network name and password exactly. Follow the prompts to type the information again.
