Unable to print from MacBook air. Keep getting message: "Connect printer to update HP Instant Ink status". Press OK (on printer panel) and then doc prints! I did a wireless network test and everything was a PASS and the internet is connected. Have switched off printer and used network wizard to set up again. But no luck. Grateful for any thoughts.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thank you for replying to us.
Please follow the steps listed below to reset printing systems and then add the printer.
1. Click the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences.
2. Click Printers & Scanners, Print & Scan, or Print & Fax.
3. Right-click (or Control + click) anywhere inside the Printers window, and then click Reset printing system.
4. Click Reset or OK.
Note: Once you click on reset any other printer added to this computer will also get deleted and needs to be added again.
5. If prompted, type your username and password, and then click OK. The printing system resets.
6. Turn off the printer, wait 5 seconds, and then turn on the printer.
7. Wait until the printer is idle and silent.
8. In the Printers window on the Mac, click the Add button.
9. Select your printer from the list, and then click Add.
It might take a few seconds before your printer displays in the Printers list.
