hp printer reset wifi

To reset the WiFi settings on an HP printer, you typically need to access the printer’s network settings via its control panel and choose the option to reset or delete the existing WiFi configuration. Another common method is to press and hold the **Wireless** and **Cancel** buttons together for about 3 seconds until the Wireless light blinks, which resets the network settings to allow connecting to a new WiFi network[1][2][3].

Here are step-by-step methods commonly used:

1. **Reset Network Settings Using Buttons:**
– Turn on your printer.
– Press and hold the **Wireless** and **Cancel** buttons together for about 3 seconds until the Wireless light starts blinking. This clears the WiFi settings and prepares the printer to join a new network[2].

2. **Using Wireless Button and WPS:**
– Press and hold the **Wireless** button until the light blinks.
– Within two minutes, press the **WPS** button on your router to connect automatically, if your router supports WPS[3].

3. **Manual WiFi Reset via Printer Menu:**
– Navigate the printer’s menu to find **Network Settings** or **Wireless Setup**.
– Select the option to **reset** or **delete** existing WiFi settings[1].
– Then, manually enter the new WiFi network name (SSID) and password.

4. **Using HP Smart App:**
– Open the HP Smart app on your phone or computer.
– Remove the current printer and add it again.
– Follow the prompts within the app to connect the printer to your new WiFi network[1][2].

5. **Factory Reset (Last Resort):**
– If the above options don’t work, perform a full factory reset, which erases all printer settings including WiFi.
– Refer to your specific printer manual for exact reset instructions[1].

These methods cover most HP printer models and should help you reset the WiFi settings to connect to a new network. If available, using the HP Smart app generally streamlines the process after resetting network settings on the printer.

If you want a quick tutorial, there are video guides that show exactly how to perform these steps on models like the HP Deskjet[4][5].
