I changed the IP address of my printer by using a web browser to go to the IP address of my printer.  The IP address was of format 10.0....

 

Now that I have changed the IP address of the printer to 192.168.1.248 (and I have confirmed this by looking at the display on the printer), I can no longer access the printer through a web browser. 

 

Also, I was trying to change the printer properties (by right clicking on the printer in "devices and printers").  Specifically, adding standard TCP/IP printer port for the new IP address.  However, I get the message "The device could not be identified."

Welcome to HP Forums. This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips to your technical queries.

 

Let's restore the Printers network settings:

 

1. From the printer control panel, touch and slide your finger across the screen, touch Setup, and then touch Network Setup. 2. Touch Restore Network Defaults, and then touch Yes. A message appears stating that the network defaults have been restored. 3. Touch OK. 4. Print the network configuration page and verify that the network settings have been reset.

 

Once done, please connect the Printer to the network using Wireless Setup Wizard:

 

From the printer control panel display, touch and slide your finger across the screen and then touch Setup. 2. Touch Network Setup. 3. Touch Wireless Settings. 4. Touch Wireless Setup Wizard. 5. Follow the display instructions to complete the setup.
