Hello, @EJ59

I see that you were interacting with @The_Fossette. He is out of office & I'd like to help 🙂

I see that you are facing issues while connecting the network printer to your new Windows 10 PC. Is the printer connected to the network? Check the wireless light. If the light is steady blue, then the printer is connected to the network. If the light is flashing, then the printer is not connected to the network. Go to Setup - Network - Wireless setup wizard to connect the printer to the newtork.

Once the printer is connected to the network, then assign a static IP to the printer:
 

• Obtain the IP address of the printer – You can touch the “wireless” icon on the printer control panel to get the IP address.
• Type the IP address on your web browser to obtain the printer EWS page on your computer.
• Go to "Network" tab - General - Select "Network protocols" - Select "Enable IPv4 only" (or similar) - Apply the settings.
• Go to the “Network” tab – Click on “Wireless (802.11) – Then click on “Network address (IPv4)
• Click on the radio button which says “Manual IP” and then click “Suggest a manual IP address” to give a manual IP address to your printer.
• Click on radio button which says “Manual DNS Server” and under manual preferred type 8.8.8.8 and under manual alternate type 8.8.4.4 (This is Google DNS server address)

Now, try the steps below to install the printer over the network:

• First, unplug the USB cable from the printer if present.
• Go to Control panel – Programs and feature – Select all the HP Officejet printer entries and uninstall them.
• Now go to Control panel – Devices and printer – Select all the printer entries and remove the device.
• Restart your computer.
• Open the Run window (Press Windows logo key + R), type “services.msc” and press ok to get services window.
• Scroll down to “Remote Procedure Call (RPC)” – right-click and go to properties. Make sure the service is started and startup type is “Automatic”.
• Now scroll up and go to “Function Discovery Provider Host” – right-click and select properties – Change the startup type to “manual” and start the service.
• Repeat the same exercise on “Function Discovery Resource Publication” as well.
• Click on http://hp.care/2ptjjHb and install the software.
• Select Wireless option on the connection page and then finish the installation.

Please let me know if this resolves the issue, or if you require further assistance!

Good luck 🙂

Thanks for the help so far, I followed the steps you gave me and sadly to say. It still says network installation was unsuccessful, I thank you for all the help you and The_Fossette have given me so far. But are there anymore solutions out there that can fix this problem?

If someone has an AT&T DSL modem/router like an Arris, here is another possible solution that was the answer in my case for a different printer but similar connectivity issue. Find the HPNA configuration setting and turn it off. I spent hours on this issue and that was the solution that finally worked so I hope it helps someone else.
