Hi,

 

What exactly does the message state and can you print ok from other devices?

 

Aer you printing through the HP print plugin or via an app like HP ePrint. One thing to note if you are printing via the HP print plugin for android is that once downloaded, you will also nee dto enable the plugin within your settinsg for it to work properly.

The error message says "Printer Blocked".  I am using the HP All in One Remote and I have the HP Print plugin enabled.  I can print from other computers on the network, it is just the Android device that is experiencing this issue.

Try restarting your Android device to see if that helps re-establish a connection.

 

If that fails to resolve the issue, then I would retart your printer by powering it down and unplugging it for 30 secs before powering up again.

If your enrolled in hp insta ink program you have to login to your account and update some online info. Does not mean the printer is blocked with a physical object.
