deskjet 2600 series. was connected wirelessly, now wont connect.. will connect usb, but wireless light keeps blinking and it says on my hp app that its offline. I have tried all the troubleshooting and it doesn't find my printer. I have only had this printer for a few months. running windows 10 and have tried the online virtual agent as well.
Solved! Go to Solution.
