When I try to print wireless with our 6978 HP printer it tells me it's in an error state. I have removed, unstalled, reloaded and done all of the things I can normally do to get a wireless device going. Is there maybe a particular driver I need for my Acer Aspire E15? The other laptops in our house don't have a problem... just me? Help please!!! Thanks, Lisa

@gunner191957 Greetings from the HP Community!
Please share a screenshot of the error code/message so we know exactly what needs to be done,
In the meantime, reset the printer to recover from printer failures.
-
With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the printer.
-
Unplug the power cord from the power source.
-
Wait 60 seconds.
-
Reconnect the power cord to a wall outlet and to the printer.
NOTE:
HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.
-
Turn the printer on.
