Hi @Marathonman47,

Welcome to the HP Support Community

I understand you are facing a connectivity issue with your HP Printer. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

To assist you better:

• Could you please help me with the iPhone model number and the iOS version on your device?
• Do you get any specific error messages when you try adding it using HP Smart?
• How far is the printer located from the WiFi router?
• Do you have a dual-band router?
• 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 networks.
• Is your iPhone connected to the same network as your printer is connected to?
• Were you able to print previously from your iPhone?

While you respond to that, please try the below steps to resolve the issue.

1. Touch and hold the app.
