How to configure WiFi connection on a HP F4580

Just a note to myself as I wasted more time than I should have fixing this.

I recently changed the WiFi access credentials and my HP F4580, obviously, stopped working. Neither the Mac nor the Windows drivers I had let me edit the WiFi settings but I finally found a way to reset the WiFi configuration:

  • Turn on the printer
  • Click and hold down the Cancel button
  • Click and release the WiFi button
  • Release the Cancel button
This creates a ad hoc network called hpsetup that you can connect to via WiFi to configure the router.
