HP Envy 4520 series
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I'm having challenges connecting to HP Envy 4520 series thru a wireless connection.  It was working with no issue, but then just my HP laptop failed to recognize it, of late.  I have tried all the troubleshooting steps and no luck.  Turned power off/on on printer, rebooted my laptop, removed/added printer to Print Mgmt functions, rebooted my router, etc.  I just connected to the printer with a USB cable and miraculously, no issues.  I even connected to the printer via WiFi direct and it connected with no issues.  However; I went back to Print Mgmt and it says the Driver is unavailable.  I did diagnostics on it when connected to the USB cable and it validated that the printer drivers are the most recent.  Anytime, I try to print a document from MS products or anywhere, the printer does not display or I get an error in printing.  Another however; I've had an email address for the printer for several years now and it prints perfectly when I email it a print job.  

 

Any suggestions?  I appreciate your help.

 

Thank you!
