Hi,

 

What device are you trying to print wirelessly from? 

 

If it's a tablet or smartphone,  download the hp eprint app and enure that both your printer and mobile device are connected to the same wifi network - once this is complete, you'll be able to print from within the eprint app.

WHY do people (HP folks) keep pushing the ePrint, email option. 

It's CRAP!  Someone was drunk when they decided that

HP customers has to go through the trouble to covert their

text to PDF's (while their ON THE GO, away from their printer).

Even emailing photos, you have to search & figure out how

to email them.... while walking or driving, printer in hand

with HP forcing paying customers to use their troubled print options.

----  I finally found my old old antique CANON phone app PCL PLC or something

that does a decent job, but you have to tell it when paper tray to use

since the ~New~ HP printers has trouble figuring that out.

I just don't get why HP printers have degraded and HP allows canon

to get ahead of them on their printer & software tech.

( but canon thinks too much of their expensive photo printing $$$ )
