Product: Laserjet 135W
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi,

 

Not too long ago, I bought a Laserjet MFP 135W which I managed after hours of work to connect to my WIFI network using a USB cable. Recently, I have had issues with the connection between the printer and my WIFI - the printer will simply not connect. I have tried using using the PBC option on the printer and pushing the WPS button on the router. This results in message "Connecting...." on the printer following by "Disconnected." a couple of seconds later. I have also tried using WiFi direct mode and connected a PC, open the Embedded Web Service (EWS) from the web browser and both using the wizard as well as manually tried to enter all details of the WIFI connection, but without luck. Seems like the settings are not saved upon pressing the button "Apply" in the web interface. I have also tried using HP Smart and WiFI direct and accessed the EWS with the same outcome as above. Also tried using USB rather than WIFI Direct, also this does not work. Settings will not be saved. 

Using WIFI direct and USB, the printer works flawlessly (but such connections are rather awkward to use, when there I want it on my network). The printer has the latest firmware V3.82.01.11 or the previous from Dec-19.

 

Any suggestions on how I can connect this printer to my WIFI AP? Is there a way to perform a hard reset?
