HP DeskJet Ink Advantage 4675
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have an      HP DeskJet4675      on my   Windows 10 64bit    Dell laptop.

It is connected via wi-fi.

A week ago I started having a few problems. I am placing it roughly

after the last windows 10 update.

Also , during that time I had installed a new rooter , ZTE ZXHN H268N.

 

At first,

the choise between black/white and color print

had dissapeared from the print prefferrences.
Same with the automatic  two-side printing.

Now (apart from these two),
every print I send gets stucked in the printer's queue
and a fault message arises.

 

I tried unistalling the printer , related programs and drivers  and re-installing them  with no luck.

Also I unpluged the printer, shut down the laptop and Reset the modem-rooter. Again nothing.

 

Please, if anyone could help me on this ...

Hello

 Note  (if it is of any help). 

Before implementing your steps , I had connected a usb cable to the printer and it worked.

But I can't have it permanently cable-connected to my laptop (different rooms).

 

So, please , I still need your help   to work my printer via WiFi.

Looking forward to your reply.
