ok, I just had to do this again as I was getting E10 bad transmission when I reinstalled the OS.
The solution is firast off let it find the printer IP address, or if you know the ip of the printer good. then choose under network printer "AppSocket/HP JetDirect" in the Host field enter the ip address of the printer click forward, select various options and print a test page.
