Hello,
I'm trying to connect to web services, i have tried everything in the troubleshoot video but i just keep getting an error message:

Web Services Setup in Progress

The printer is currently setting up Web Services.

To see the current status of this process, click "Refresh".

 

When i refresh i get the following message:

Network Problem

A network problem occurred while the printer was trying to connect to the Web Services server.

Click "Troubleshoot" to diagnose the problem, or click "Close" and fix the problem later.

 

i click troubleshoot and then the last message to appear is the following:

 
The printer could not connect to Web Services.

Web Services might be busy or temporarily unavailable. Try again later.

 

I have been round in circles - i have restarted everything, looked at bandwiths/proxy servers, firmware updates but nothing will connect. 

 

I had the same issue when i bought it however i just presumed that because it was black friday the servers would be busy... now  homeschooling is going to be upon us and i need the printer to connect so i can sign up for instant ink

 

Can anyone help?

Thanks 🙂

To add i have also spoken to the virtual agent and followed all the steps they gave but nothing working. I can't speak to a real person as it is outwith office hours, will try that tomorrow if no luck here.

Also i can print no problem its just the connection to web services that will not work!

@lw15182, Welcome to HP Support Community!
 

If you have already performed the steps from the document HP Printers - Cannot Connect to Web Services and the issue persists, it could be a hardware failure.

 

Please reach out to HP Support in your region regarding the service options for your printer.

 

Hope this helps!
