Good morning.  The power on our block went out on February 27, 2025.  I did not know it until I came home and the microwave was flashing "00:00" and I could not get internet on my Philips Google TV.  Now, I still cannot get internet on my TV but my HP OfficeJet Pro 8130e series is no longer connected to my HP printer.  Please help.  I am in school and need to desperately to print assignments.  Thanking you in advance. . .

Thank you for your assistance.  Not only did it work, but it printed my assignment that I had sent earlier; I did not have to resend.  I appreciate your help!
