Question

HP walked me thru a process so that I could use the wireless printer but now I've moved and I need to go thru this process again because I have a new router and they want to charge me $37.  Can you help me?

Answer 1

OK, from the front of the printer: Setup > Network > Restore Network Defaults.
Now, from that same Network menu run the Wireless Setup Wizard.  This will connect your printer to your network.
Now, on your PC, go to Control Panel > Devices & Printers and delete the printer (highlight it and hit the Delete key on the keyboard).
Finally, add the new instance of the printer:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your network. Verify that you can access the printer's internal web page by browsing to its IP address before continuing.
2. Click >> Start >> Control panel >> Devices & Printers.
3. Click the Add a printer
4. Select Local printer
5. Select Create a new port and select Standard TCP/IP Port and click Next button.
6. Under Device type, select TCP/IP Device. Under Hostname or IP address, enter the printer's IP address. Click Next.
7. Select Hewlett-Packard from the list of manufacturers and select and select your printer model. Click Next.
If your printer model was not listed, then select Have Disk, browse the HP CD that came with your printer and select the first file that starts with hp and ends with inf. Click Open then OK. Select your printer model. Click Next.
8. If you are asked, use the currently installed driver.
9. It will ask for the Printer name -- enter a new name or use the existing one. This will be the name of the printer that you select from other applications.
10. You may be asked to share the printer. Choose NO.
11. The Print Test Page box appears. Go ahead and print it.
12. Click Finish.
