I keep getting can't connect to Web Services the server might be busy!

[CarlB2]

Having problems printing as printer can't connect to Web Services so it can't update printer instant ink status.  Followed all the advice available.  Done the URL Embedded Web Server, ran the diagnostics for web access test and it states that the 'TEST Server - accessible' -  'FAIL'.  

On Web services tab it shows a green tick for connectivity to internet but it doesn't connect.

Any advice please as up until this point more than happy with printer and the ink plan?

Sorry, meant to add the error code  - 74740.

1. Turn off the Router, Printer, and the computer/ mobile devices.
2. Wait for 60 seconds.
3. Turn on the Router first and wait for all the lights to stabilize.
4. Turn on the printer and allow it to configure itself.
5. Turn on the computer/ mobile devices.
