I've been using this printer successfully for years. BUT sometimes I get 'unable to find printer' ... and I solve it by unplugging. BUT today that didn't work so, following HP support advice, I 're-set' ... by deleting the printer. For an hour now I am unable to 'add' the printer back.  I used the "Easy Set Up". But in System Preferences/Printers the only place I can enter anything is in 'search' and nothing happens when I enter 'HP Photosmart 7520" or  'Photosmart 7520'. See screenshot. What to do?

I figured out the core problem. I was not using the proper Wi-Fi connection. It used 'xfinity' rather than my Wi-Fi here.

A lot of time spent without anyone suggesting that solution. I just sort of stumbled upon it.
