HP ENVY 6020e All-in-One Printer

My printer is connected to the WiFi but no printing from my mobile device is working 

 

it was working fine yesterday and then stopped. The only difference is that I sent something to print from a different room. 

TIA

Hi @Gigilepoo,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

If your printer is connected to Wi-Fi but isn’t printing from your mobile device, here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check Printer Status

  • Ensure the printer is turned on and has no error messages on the display.
  • Make sure there’s paper in the tray and the ink/toner levels are adequate.

2. Reconnect to Wi-Fi

  • Even though it shows as connected, try disconnecting and reconnecting the printer to the Wi-Fi network. You can do this through the printer’s settings menu.

3. Restart Devices

  • Restart your printer, mobile device, and Wi-Fi router. This can help refresh connections.

4. Check for Updates

  • Make sure the HP Smart app on your mobile device is updated to the latest version.
  • Also, check for any firmware updates for your printer.

5. Use HP Smart App

  • Open the HP Smart app on your mobile device and see if your printer appears there.
  • If it does, try sending a test print from the app.

6. Check Print Queue

  • Ensure there are no stalled print jobs. You can usually find this in the HP Smart app or the print settings on your mobile device.

7. AirPrint Settings (if applicable)

  • If you’re using AirPrint, make sure your printer supports it and that both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network.
  • Check your AirPrint settings to ensure it’s enabled.

8. Try a Different App

  • If printing from one app isn’t working, try printing from a different app (like Photos or Notes) to see if the issue is app-specific.

9. Reinstall the HP Smart App

  • If the issue persists, try deleting and reinstalling the HP Smart app on your mobile device.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
