I had my internet provider out and they upgraded my package. After that my printer no longer was able to connect to the internet. I ran a report that states MAC Address filtering my be enabled on your wireless router. Mind you my printer can see my network but still fails? I called my internet provider and they said they had no MAC filtering on and recommended I call HP. I have looked and looked for a number to call and can't find one anywhere. So I ran through the vitrula help, (which was no help), downloaded the HP diagnosis (which didn't help because I couldn't connect wirelessly, only through a wired connection, which worked fine.) , and now I am hoping I can find someone here that can help me fix my issue here.
Review:
Printer see's wireless internet
Printer report says MAC address filtering may be enabled
Report summery:
Wirless on: PASS
Wireless Working: Pass
Connected: Not run
Network Name Found: PASS
Other network detected matching your network name: NO
Printer Settings Consistent with Wireless Router Setting: PASS
No Filtering: FAIL
Channel: NotRun
Secturity: Pass
Help Please. We are trying to get school done and this is making all things difficult.

@KMCheeChee, Welcome to HP Support Community!
I appreciate your efforts in trying to resolve the issue, I'd further recommend you follow the troubleshooting guide to resolve the issue. Here it is- Troubleshooting | Wireless Printing Center
Additionally, Update the printer firmware
Download available firmware updates from the HP website
With the printer on and connected to the computer, go to HP Customer Support - Software and Driver Downloads, and then identify your printer. Look for and install any available firmware updates. Refer to the document HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
