Alexa thinks my HP network printer is offline but it is not.

[Choclit]

I am trying to set up Alexa to allow me to print to my HP network printer.  I have downloaded and installed the skill and Alexa recognizes the printer, but says it is offline when it is not.  I have no idea how to solve this issue.

2. Search for HP, and then click HP Printer from the skills list.
