Spent 30 mins on the HP printer app, absolutely no help. Watched your video, worked just fine in <5mins! THANK YOU for being much smarter than HP!

This doesn't fix the problem though. The printer is still not connected to the WIFI

[AshleyTotass-lsep]

I can't believe how easy that was, but how hard HP makes it to find the solution. I spent so long trying to reconnect my wifi with the HP app, then I see this video and within 3 minutes my documents are printed. Thank you!!

OMG, thanks for saving my life! This whole time I didn't bother to select "Security key" instead of entering it as a password.

Worked! After this, you need to run HP Smart to finish setting up your printer.

[JoeReilly]

HUGE help as zero documentation from HP on this. Thank you!

Mine prints and shows “Status: Disabled” but no password whatsoever

[dionemcguinness]

Thank you. I've wasted countless hours trying to trouble shoot this and was about to purchase a new printer. You've solved my issue! So grateful to you.

You’re a superstar! My new router doesn’t even list this printer as being compatible but your fix worked. Thank you!

Your a life saver, this is the only video that worked for me 😀

This was awesome. My router bit it just before christmas and even though it was swapped and same SSID and passphrase used of course EVERYTHING but this printer reconnected without issue and of COURSE this happened when I absolutely needed to print something.

Thank you very much! I can't find information anywhere about what to do with my printer when changing the WiFi and you just saved me at the last minute! Thank you and all the Gods of Olympus responsible for printers ❤

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I NEEDED YOUR VIDEO!!!! I was so frustrated...thank you Keely!!!

[svsranga]

Basically if you put your WiFi router in to Broadcast mode for such devices then the Printer while blinking the WiFi Light blue, joins the network. But this is a very new feature like post 2022, so the video from Keely can do it is really awesome as it helps those like me who like to hide their SSID and hence getting in to the Webservice of the Printer allows you to configure any WiFi Network. Well done Keely, great video and thanks for sharing. The Video does end abruptly so you could do a part 2 perhaps and show the configuration on the network in the Printer's webpage.

Man, you just solved my issue. The password on the printed test paper is also called security key in the network settting for the printer. Don't know where you are, I want to thank you for your help!

Thanks. Worked great. I had the same situation. I had gotten a new wi-fi router and had this problem with both an HP LaserJet and an OfficeJet. Both printers had previously been connecting via wi-fi, but, we were using BlueTooth to connect. Somehow, because the printer could no longer find a wi-fi router, it also broke BlueTooth. Seems to me those two wireless protocols are independent of each other. A broken wi-fi connection should not take down BlueTooth with it.

Thanks!!! My sister has court tomorrow!!! Lifesaverrrr

[RafFer]

Exact. It is not recommended to follow HP's instructions. With your advice I was able to connect the printer. Thank you so much.

[MimsFROM]

Bro!!!! Thank you. I’ve hated this printer and the HP app. Until now. Thank you good sir.

[bengrimes]

Thank you! This worked exactly like in the video. I’ve been trying to follow hp support guides and they’ve been useless.
