@GeoffHe, Welcome to HP Support Community,

 

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

 

It sounds like you're facing an issue with error code 7 on your HP InkJet 4222e printer after connecting to a new router. Here are some general troubleshooting steps you can attempt to resolve the issue:

Check Printer Connectivity: Ensure that the printer is connected to the correct network. You can do this by printing a network configuration report from the printer. This report will give you information on the current network settings of your printer.

Restart Devices: Power off both the printer and the router. Wait for a few seconds before turning them back on. This action can sometimes resolve connectivity issues.

Reconfigure Network Settings: Sometimes, setting up a static IP address via the printer's control panel or through HP's Embedded Web Server can help resolve connectivity issues. You might need to enter the printer's IP address into a web browser to access these settings.

Wireless Network Setup: Ensure that the wireless network settings are correctly configured. Double-check the SSID and password entered during setup.

Printer Software: Verify that you have the latest drivers or software for your printer installed on your device. You can check for updates on the HP support website.

Reset Network Settings: Restore your printer’s network settings to default and reconfigure them according to your new router setup.

Check for any Alerts: The printer may alert you through its embedded system if there is any issue such as low toner or maintenance required.

 

I hope this helps.

Please feel free to reply here if you have any questions or if you need further clarification on any of the steps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.
