HP Printer won't connect to WIFI with new Router

I got a new router and everything connects to it except my HP Officejet Pro 8620 Printer. I've tried standard wireless setup and WIFI Protected setup and neither works. It seems like this is a common problem but I'm not see anything that is working for me. Any thoughts?

    What security mode for WiFi SSID name is set on the router? Mixed WPA2 and WPA3 or just WPA2? 

    Try setting WPA2 only. Try No security on the router to see if the printer will connect. Re-enable WPA2 after checking this.
