Cannot get printer to stay connected by WIFI. Tried all the things recommended, but will not stay connected. Any other ideas?

HP 3050 Deskjet Printer, after a bad thunder storm, will not stay connected by WIFi for printing. Tried resetting defaults, unplugging everything, but wifi light just blinks and will not stay connected. Using Arris router and Airport.

Are you referring to the Wi-Fi light on the printer?


If so, please find in the printer's instruction manual how to remove a Wi-Fi Network. Have it remove the current network and then re-add it to the printer. If your computer has problems printing to it after this step please reset the printing system and reinstall the printer. Instructions for each are in:


Reset the printing system:

System Preferences - Printers & Scanners - select the printer in the box on the left - right click and select Reset Printing System


Add printer

System Preferences - Printers & Scanners - click the + symbol in the box on the left and add the printer.
