Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
 

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:

  • Did this happen after a recent window or software update?
  • What's the Wi-Fi light status on the Printer(Blinking or Steady)? 

While you respond to that, let's try How to Print or Scan on your HP Printerhttps://support.hp.com/us-en/topic/how-to-print-scan-fax?tab=howToScan
 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
