Hello.
I've installed HP Smart on my phone and desktop computer, but printing is only possible using the phone.
When I try printing a PDF document form the computer, the printer "blinks" for a second but won't respond any further.
Don't have a clue. Would be grateful for any advice.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @adirav,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
It sounds like there might be a connection or driver issue between your HP DeskJet 2710 and your Mac running macOS Ventura. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue.
Check Printer Connection:
- Ensure the printer is properly connected to your Wi-Fi network. You can do this through the printer’s control panel or by printing a network configuration page.
Update macOS and HP Software:
- Make sure your macOS is up to date by going to System Preferences > Software Update.
- Update the HP Smart app and any HP drivers by visiting the HP Support website.
Reinstall HP Printer Drivers:
- Go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners.
- Remove the HP DeskJet 2710 by selecting it and clicking the - button.
- Visit the HP Support page for DeskJet 2710 to download and install the latest drivers for macOS Ventura.
Reset Printing System:
- Go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners.
- Right-click (or Control-click) in the list of printers and select Reset printing system….
- Confirm the reset and then add your printer again.
Check Printer Queue:
- Go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners.
- Select your HP DeskJet 2710 and click Open Print Queue.
- Check if there are any stuck print jobs and clear them.
Use AirPrint:
- Ensure that AirPrint is enabled on your printer. This is usually the default setting, but it's worth checking. AirPrint should work seamlessly with macOS.
Test with Another Application:
- Try printing from a different application or document to see if the issue is specific to PDF files or a particular app.
Network Troubleshooting:
- If your printer is connected to Wi-Fi, ensure that your Mac is also on the same network. Sometimes, network settings or firewalls can affect connectivity.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
