All of a sudden, one day you cannot print wirelessly to your OfficeJet Pro 8610 wireless printer - you get this message:
You cannot use the device's wireless function because it has been disabled. For more information, contact your network administrator or the person who set up the device.
It took me a long time to find the answer and then to get it to work was not easy. This is what I did:
Go to the printer's screen
Press the back button four times (this is the difficult part, sometimes it just doesn't work, you have to get the timing right)
Select Support Menu
Use the up/down buttons, select Connectivity
Enable the WiFi
After, the blue WiFi light flashes. Go to the Settings menu, Network Settings, Wireless, use the WiFi wizard, it will search for the network and you can enter your WiFi password. The blue light will stop flashing.
Reference
The following link explains about the 8710 but it's very similar to the 8610 model. It's very helpful, there are even more tips on how to reset the printer too.
