HP insta ink cannot connect with printer

[DebHar79]

Hi. Hope someone can help. 

I am enrolling with HP Insta Ink with my HP Envy 5010. I have the HP Smart app on my iPhone 6. 

The app says my printer is on line. But it can’t connect to it. 

I can’t print with my insta ink cartridge as it says I need to enroll. 

Thank you very much.

Hi @DebHar79

Welcome to the HP Support Community. I understand you are not able to print from your iPhone. I'd be happy to assist you.

Is the printer enrolled in Instant Ink?

Check the connectivity between the devices.

• Make sure the printer and the iPhone are connected to the same wireless network.
• This printer supports only 2.4GHz network. So, the iPhone should be on the 2.4GHz network.
• If you have a Dual-band router and both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks share the same name/SSID, the printer will not be able to connect to the network. In this case, contact your Internet service provider to assign different names to both the networks.
• Also, check with your Internet service provider if your router is able to forward 'Bonjour packets'.
