Hi @Calamatus,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

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

If your Ink Tank Wireless 415 printer is not connecting to Wi-Fi and the light is constantly flashing, there are several steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue. Here's a step-by-step guide.

Check Wi-Fi Settings:

• Make sure that the Wi-Fi network is functioning properly.
• Verify that the printer is within the range of the Wi-Fi router.

Restart Printer and Router:

• Turn off your printer and Wi-Fi router.
• Wait for about 10 seconds and then turn them back on.
• Allow both devices to restart and establish a connection.

Ensure Correct Network Password:

• Double-check the Wi-Fi password you are entering on the printer. Make sure it is correct.
• Passwords are case-sensitive, so ensure that the capitalization is correct.

Printer Placement:

• Place the printer closer to the Wi-Fi router during the setup process to ensure a strong signal.

Factory Reset:

• Perform a factory reset on your printer. This will vary by model, so consult your printer's manual for instructions on how to do this.

Update Firmware:

• Check if there is a firmware update available for your printer. Updating the firmware may resolve connectivity issues.
• Visit the HP website for firmware updates and follow the instructions provided.

Connect via WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup):

• If your router supports WPS, you can try connecting the printer using this method. Follow the instructions in your printer manual for WPS setup.

Disable Firewall or Security Software Temporarily:

• Temporarily disable any firewall or security software on your computer that might be blocking the connection. Remember to enable it again after troubleshooting.

I hope this helps. 
 

Take care and have a good day.
