Welcome to the HP support community.
Use HP Print and Scan Doctor to check connectivity
Download HP Print and Scan Doctor.
-
Run HPPSdr.exe from the download location on your computer.
-
Once HP Print and Scan Doctor opens, click Start, and then select your printer.
-
If your printer is not in the list, turn it off and on, and then click Retry.
-
If there is a connection problem, follow the instructions in HP Print and Scan Doctor.
-
-
If a screen prompts you to turn on printer updates, click Yes.
-
If a screen prompts you to make your printer the default printer, click Yes.
-
Try to print.
Assign a manual IP address and that should fix the issue.
- Load plain white paper in Tray 1.
- On the printer control panel, swipe down to open the Dashboard, and then touch the Setup icon .
- Swipe up on the display, and then touch Reports.
- Touch Network Configuration Page. A Network Configuration Page prints up to four pages of information.
-
Setting a Static IP Address
Once you know your printer’s IP address, entering it is pretty easy. Here’s what you do:
- Run your Web browser.
- In the Web browser’s address bar, type the IP address of your printer and press Enter. Assuming you entered the right address, the HP printer control panel should appear.
- Click the Networking tab.
- Under Connections, click Wireless.
- Under IP Address Configuration, click Manual IP.
- Enter the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway in the appropriate boxes.
- Click Apply.

Hi, I went through the procedure to manually set a fixed IP address to the suggested 192.168.1.110, but now I have no connection to the printer. When I enter this address in my browser, there is no connection shown. I checked the settings screen on the printer and it does show the IP address as 192.168.1.110. One thing I did not do was change the primary DNS server from the original 192.168.1.254. Changing this was not mentioned in the instructions shown.

Hi again. From the touch-screen on the HP OfficeJet Pro 7740 printer I went into setting configuration and reset back to original configuration and reconnected to the network wifi server, and I now have control of the printer again. I'll have to think about this a little bit longer. I did find that the touch screen on the printer does give pretty good control of settings. Note that the HP diagnostic software simply said there was no problem.
Regards
