The printer works fine when connected to my network via a cable, but it
won't connect with a wireless connection. Has anyone else experienced this
issue?

No but I recall the instructions to set it up were quite fussy. Might be
worth having another go "by the book". Also check your wireless router
doesn't have any filtering set up (eg MAC filtering).

Jeff,
Hey hope this helps, but I had a similar problem where my printer worked on my previous Verizon FIOS Wi fi, but after I moved and had to switch to COMCAST. COMCAST configured my new Wi Fi to the new 802.11N broadcast. My printer could see the network for not connect to it. My fix was a two step process. First, I had to step the Wi Fi, down for 802.11N to 802.11b/g. Second, the printer needed ot be restrated in a mode which HP walked me through, I think they called it MVS or MSV, but said I should not attempt this without their guidance. After completing both, my Wi Fi printer works again....good luck and if nothing else work, get into a chat with HP support. They can be slow, but most times they can get you back in the saddle.
