Laptop won't connect to my printer automatically

[Munchkins11]

My laptop used to automatically connect to my printer when I pressed the print button. Now I have to bounce from my wifi to the printer's wifi and then disconnect once the printing is finished. I am trying to figure out why this changed and how I can make my laptop automatically connect to my hp envy when I press the print button.

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.

I see that your experiencing connectivity issue with HP printer not connecting automatically to the laptop,
Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:

• When was the last time it worked fine?
• Did this happen after a recent window or software update?
• Have you tried any troubleshooting steps?

While you respond to that, I recommend you to perform the following steps to isolate the issue and arrive at a fix:

Let's run the HP Print and Scan Doctor:

Download and run the HP Print and Scan Doctor to automatically diagnose and resolve printer hardware and connection issues.

Note: If the Print and Scan Doctor does not find your printer on the Choose Your Product step, click My product is not listed for steps to connect the printer. If a connection problem is detected, follow the instructions provided, and then click Retry.

Try to print. If the issue is not resolved, continue to the next step.
