I Changed My Wi-Fi Password …
You changed your Wi-Fi password because you wanted a more secure network.
Your phone is working.
Your laptop is working.
The internet is working.
Then you try to print something.
Nothing happens.
You may think:
“Did changing my Wi-Fi password break my printer?”
It very well may have disconnected the printer from the old network settings.
Your Printer Doesn’t Automatically Know the New Password
Think about your HP printer like a guest in your home.
You changed the key to the front door.
Your printer still remembers the old key.
So it can’t get onto the network.
Your computer and phone may already know the new password.
The printer may need to be updated separately.
This Is Especially Common After Router Changes
Many people experience the same problem after:
- Changing a Wi-Fi password
- Replacing the router
- Installing a mesh Wi-Fi system
- Switching internet providers
Everything else gets connected.
The printer gets forgotten.
What Should You Do?
The first step is to reconnect the HP printer to your current wireless network.
The exact steps depend on your HP printer model.
Some models have touchscreen setup menus.
Others use physical buttons.
That is why generic instructions don’t always work for every HP printer.
Don’t Assume You Need a New Printer
This is important.
If the printer worked before you changed the Wi-Fi password, there may be nothing wrong with the printer itself.
You may simply need to update its wireless connection.
