HP107W
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have just purchase a HP107W and have been ripping my hair out since I purchased it...……...

 

I have connected the printer to my LAN via WPS and have confirmed this by doing the test print which shows it is connected. I have also typed the IP into the browser and this launches the admin page for the wireless printer so it is connected. The most recent drivers have been installed but HP Smart doesn't work as it cannot find the printer to add it.

 

The issue I am getting is whenever I go to a word document for example to print it says the printer is offline.... If I click print it says it connect communicate with the printer? ---- If I connect the printer to my laptop via USB during setup it sometimes finds it but it often doesn't. I've tried the HP print and scan doctor which can never find the printer to diagnose the issue..

 

The printer is powered on and the blue wifi indicator is solid blue

 

I've managed on very rare occasions to print a single page after which it returns to its uncontactable state... I have gone through the online virtual assist and have completed all of the suggestions even changing my wifi channel. I have two windows 10 laptops both of which I have installed the software on and it isn't working on either.

 

Have tried a power cycle of the printer and the router which hasn't made any difference. I have disabled firewalls and Anti virus periodically to see if these were the issue.

 

Any help would be great!!
