HP ENVY Photo 6220 All-in-One Printer
Microsoft Windows 11

When pressing the ePrint icon on my printer, I get the message "Setup unsuccessful. Web services could not be set up at this time. The printer will try again later." I don't get past this no matter how long I wait or how many times I press the ePrint icon.
EWS looks ok (I think):

Hi @E4B,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community. 
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

I see that you are facing issues with web services setup.

 

Please follow the steps listed below to remove and set up web services:
1. Open the embedded web server (EWS):
a. Find out the IP address or hostname of the printer by pressing the Information button (i) to print an Information page.
NOTE: The printer must be on a network and must have an IP address.
b. In a supported web browser on your computer, type the IP address or hostname assigned to the printer. For example, if the IP address is 123.123.123.123, type the following address into the web browser: http://123.123.123.123.
2. Click the Web Services tab, and then click Remove Web Services in the Web Services Settings section.
3. Click Remove Web Services.
4. Click Yes to remove Web Services from your printer. 


You may also refer to this document to turn off web services: https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c04808536 


5. Click the Web Services tab again.
6. In the Web Services Settings section, click Setup, click Continue and follow the onscreen instructions to accept the terms of use.
7. If prompted, choose to allow the printer to check for and install printer updates.
8. When the printer is connected to the server, the printer prints an information page. Follow the instructions on the information page to finish the setup.

I hope this helps.

Have a nice day ahead.

Thanks Rainbow23 for the reply.  I followed the instructions and successfully removed Web Services and then set it up again.  Unfortunately this did not resolve the problem.  I still get the same message on the printer and e-print does not work.
P.S. The printer is fully updated.
