My printer is Officejet 6500 E710n-z. i never had this problem before. I try to print a word document and the printer "PAUSES" ... I click on "RESUME" and the status says "READY TO PRINT" and falls right back into pause. I hooked up a new router and i know the printer is recognized with router

This is a great location to get assistance! I read your post and see that your HP Officejet 6500 Printer is not printing after replacing the router. I would like to help you resolve this issue.
Reset the printer.
-
Make sure the printer is idle, not making any sounds, before continuing.
-
With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
-
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
-
Wait at least 60 seconds.
-
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
-
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
-
If the printer does not turn on by itself, press the Power button
to turn it on.
-
Try printing again and note what happens.
Delete the existing print queue and add the printer.
Reset the printing system.
-
Right-click (or Ctrl + click) the blank space in the Printers list, and then click Reset printing system....
Figure : Resetting the print system
