    Hi,

    What is the printer model? If you provide the printer model, I can instruct you.

    In this case, you need to reset the printer's Wi-Fi configuration and re-add it.

    Then remove the printer from Windows and re-add it.

    Are you trying to reconnect using the USB or Wi-Fi method?

    If your HP printer is not connecting to the new Wi-Fi network after changing the router and password, you will need to reconnect the printer to the new network. Here are the steps you can follow:

    1. Reset the Printer's Network Settings: This can usually be done through the printer's control panel. Look for a network or wireless settings option and select the option to reset or restore network settings.
    2. Reconnect to Wi-Fi: After resetting, you will need to reconnect the printer to your new Wi-Fi network. You can do this by using the printer's control panel to select your new network and enter the new password.
    3. Use HP Smart App: If you have the HP Smart app installed on your computer or mobile device, you can use it to help set up the printer on the new network. Open the app and follow the prompts to add your printer.
    4. Check for Driver Updates: Ensure that your printer drivers are up to date. You can download the latest drivers from the HP website if necessary.

    If you continue to experience issues, ensure that the printer is within range of the router and that there are no physical obstructions that could interfere with the signal.
