Hi @annietol,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I'd be glad to help you! 

I completely understand how frustrating it can be when a feature like AirPrint suddenly stops working, especially when you're relying on it for convenience. It can really disrupt your workflow, and I’m sure you’re eager to get things back on track!

Perform the following tasks in the order given. Use the printer after each task to see if the issue is resolved.

Troubleshoot the wireless printer connection

• Check network issues and setup requirements if the printer is not found during software installs or when wireless print jobs fail.
• Poor network connection: Move the printer and computer or mobile device closer to the wireless router, and then check if the signal quality improved. Try opening a website to see if the internet connection is working properly. If Wi-Fi is slow or intermittent, restart the router by disconnecting the power cord, waiting 15 seconds, and then reconnecting the cord.
• Printer is off or in sleep mode: Touch the control panel or press the Power button to wake the printer and put it in a ready state. Sometimes the printer status might display Offline when it is actually ready.
• Check the printer connection status: Make sure the wireless signal is on, and the printer is connected to the same network as your computer or mobile device. If your printer has a light next to a Wireless icon or button , make sure the light is on. If it is off or blinks, the printer is disconnected from the network.
• Reconnect the printer to the network: Place the printer within range of the Wi-Fi router signal, and then connect it to the network.
• Printers with a touchscreen control panel: Open the Setup, Network, or Wireless settings menu, select Wireless Setup Wizard, and then follow the instructions to select the network name and enter the password.
• Printers without a touchscreen control panel: Press and hold the Wireless button for five seconds or until the wireless light starts to flash. Within two minutes, press and hold the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) button on the router until the connection process begins. The printer Wireless light stops flashing when the connection completes.
• HP Deskjet 6000 and 6400, ENVY 6000 and 6400, and Tango printers: Press and hold the Wi-Fi button and the Power button on the back of the printer for five seconds until the blue bar flashes. Within two minutes, press and hold the WPS button on the router until the connection process begins. The blue bar stops flashing when the connection completes.
• Restart devices: Restart the printer and the computer or mobile device to clear possible error conditions.
• Print a Wireless Test Report: Search the HP Customer Support website for your printer model, and then search for self test page to find the document on how to print and evaluate the report.
• Enable Bluetooth for an HP Smart app setup: Enable Bluetooth on your computer or mobile device so that HP Smart can detect the printer during the setup.
• Wireless isolation could be causing your printer to appear offline. Check with your router manufacturer for more information.
