@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.

Take care and have a good day.
