@toby999, Welcome to HP Support Community!
To provide you with an accurate solution, I would like to know the following-
How are trying to connect the printer to your computer, USB/Wireless?
Is there any error message when you try to connect the printer?
Meanwhile, Update the printer firmware
Download available firmware updates from the HP website
With the printer on and connected to the computer, go to HP Customer Support - Software and Driver Downloads, and then identify your printer. Look for and install any available firmware updates.
For more information, go to Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware.
Also, Use HP Print and Scan Doctor
Download HP Print and Scan Doctor and run the program. It will automatically diagnose and fix any printer connectivity issues.
For more information, go to https://support.hp.com/us-en/topic/printscandoctor
Keep me posted for further assistance.
