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'.
