Product: DeskJet 2540
Operating System: iOS

Got a new TalkTalk super router and the 2540 just won’t connect to it. I turn the router and printer off and back on, press the WPS button, put paper in the printer, but it just keeps on with the blinking light. I’m using an iPad so no helpful set up menu. It worked just fine with the old router. The other forums say it’s a problem when you change routers but has anyone actually managed to solve it and how? Do I have to buy a new printer?

Restore network settings to default settings.

Press the Wireless button and the Cancel button on the printer control panel at the same time, and then hold them for 5 seconds.

Try the WPS again.
