I have an HP Officejet Pro 6978 for the last 6 months or so I have been having issues. First it lost contact with my HP laptop, I resolved that by reinstalling the software. But I guess the most annoying issue is it won't connect to the Instant Ink server. This is despite I can print over wifi. You can't say it's my router as every device connected to it works, or why would it print over wifi?
I keep wondering if it's a hardware issue.
