Hello. I recently changed my Wi-Fi password and security protocol (was WPA, now WPA2) and I am now trying to reinstall the driver. However, after selecting the printer in HP Easy Start, I get a HTTP Status 404 error, image below.
Thanks for your attention.

- Press the Wireless button (and the Cancel button from the printer control panel at the same time, and then hold them for three seconds and restart the Printer
Next connect the Printer through the USB and we will reconfigure the printer settings

Once the printer is connected to your Network with your new Password, Re-Add the Printer to the Mac printing queue using Aiprint
