Why will my printer not install 

HP Recommended

Hi @Colette01,

 

I'd like to help!

 

I understand you are unable to connect to the printer.

 

To assist better-

 

  1. How is the printer connected to the device USB or wireless?

If wireless,

  1. What device are you using the printer with, a Windows computer, Mac, Android or an iPhone? 
  2.  I would like to know, is your router set to work on 2.4 GHz network or 5 GHz network band?
  3. Are you trying to connect your printer to your home network or without a router?
  4. What is the status of the wireless light on the printer, steady or blinking?

 Keep me posted.
