My HP Officejet 4500 wireless printer has gone offline, and I see no place on either my computer or the printer where I can select "Use online". Using the printer's LED screen and keypad, I've reset the printer's wireless connection by keying in the LAN name and WEP code and get a msg on the printer's screen saying "Success. Connected to network. Press OK". Then I go back to "Devices and Printers" on my computer and find I'm still offline and cannot print.

The problem arose shortly after installing a new router, replacing an old one. The new router was set up with a different network name than the old one, and in the process I believe we deleted the old network to avoid conflict. The printer worked fine using the new router and new network for about a day before inexplicably going offline. How can I get it back online?
