Pairing:
- Ensure that the pen is properly paired with your device. Follow the pairing instructions provided by HP for your specific model.
Connection Issues:

- Try disconnecting and reconnecting the pen from your device and see if that helps.
Driver Update:

Restart Your Device:
- Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve connectivity issues. Restart your computer or device and see if the pen starts working.
