[f2point8]

Need to know your network keys to setup your wireless printer?

Do you need to find out if your printer is properly connected to your network? 

Would you like to know if a firewall is blocking printer communication and/or software installation? 

If you are experiencing problems installing or connecting to your networked HP printer, you should download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor to help solve the issues mentioned above and more.

The HP Print and Scan Doctor will guide you through troubleshooting your network printer setup and connectivity problems.  It also provides you with a wealth of information regarding your network and, in some cases, automatically fixes network connectivity issues.

The HP Print and Scan Doctor runs on Windows XP, Vista, Win 7, and Win 8.  You will need administrator privileges in order to run the utility.

Installing a printer with USB (not network)?  Try the HP Print Print and Scan Doctor

HP suggests that you download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor, which also helps for USB connected printers.  While not all types of printing communication problems are addressed with this software utility, many common problems are resolved. This utility can be used to troubleshoot and in some cases directly fix common connectivity problems experienced with many of hp’s all-in-one devices when used on Windows XP, Vista, Win 7, and Win 8 systems (administrator privileges are necessary in order to run the utility).

If the HP Print and Scan Doctor detects missing or incompatible software parts, the utility will offer to uninstall the current parts so that a subsequent reinstall process will go smoothly.  The uninstall / reinstall process usually resolves printing connectivity issues with a minimum of further fuss.
