@AM253, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
I understand your HP Smart Tank 5102 was printing fine from your phone earlier, but has suddenly stopped working even though nothing has changed with your Wi-Fi or phone. Let's walk through a few steps to get things working again:

Restart Devices

  • Power off your printer, phone, and Wi-Fi router.
  • Wait 30 seconds, then power them back on. This refreshes network connections.

Check Printer Connection

  • Make sure your printer is still connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your phone.
  • On the printer control panel, go to Settings > Wireless Settings > Wireless Summary to confirm connection status.

Use HP Smart App

  • Open the HP Smart app on your phone.
  • If the printer is not listed, tap “+” to add it again.
  • If it shows as offline, tap the printer icon and check for any alerts or errors.

Re-add Printer in HP Smart

  • Remove the printer from the app. HP Smart
  • Re-add it by tapping “+” and selecting your printer from the list.
  • If it doesn’t show up, tap “Set up a new printer” and follow the prompts.

Check for Firmware Updates

Reset Network Settings (if needed)

If the printer still won’t connect:

  • On the printer, go to Settings > Restore Network Settings.
  • Reconnect it to Wi-Fi using the HP Smart app.

If none of these steps help, you can try a full reset:

  • Uninstall and reinstall the HP Smart app.
  • Factory reset the printer: Go to Settings > Restore Settings > Restore All Settings.

I hope this helps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.
