Computer doesn't detect printer; printer connected to network; prints half pages

[MCOAJess]

My computer doesn't recognize the printer.  The printer is on the network.  I've reinstalled factory defaults, have uninstalled and reinstalled drivers, nothing works.  Assume it's a firewall issue, but cannot find out how to address it.  Have done every single diagnostic and nothing helps.  I cannot print or scan.  This is a home office - I'm dead in the water.

@MCOAJess, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Do you get any errors while trying to print?

Try making a standalone copy and check if that works. By this, we can conclude if this is a hardware or a driver issue.

• Make sure the printer and the PC are connected to the same wireless network.
• This printer supports only 2.4GHz network. So, the PC should be on the 2.4GHz network.
• If you have a Dual-band router and both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks share the same name/SSID, the printer will not be able to connect to the network. In this case, contact your Internet service provider to assign different names to both the networks.
• Restart the wireless router, the printer, and the PC
• Try printing.

If the printer is not connected to the network, follow the below steps:

On the printer screen, go to Setup > Network Setup > Restore network settings

Go back to Network > Wireless > Wireless setup wizard and select your network.
