5640 all in one printer
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

My 5640 printer will print when connected by usb cable but won’t print over the network. I have run network diagnostics on my computer and it’s saying ‘computer correctly configured but the device or resource is not responding’ 

i have downloaded HP Scan doctor but that hasn’t worked either. I don’t know if it’s a case of different IP addresses ? Please help if you can, thank you

@Junesst,

 

Thank you for reaching out to the HP Support community!

  • The WiFi router that you have is that a dual-band router(having both 2.4Ghz network and 5GHz network)?
  • Do you use any extenders for the WiFi?
  • Do you have any security software or antivirus installed on your PC? have you tried disabling it and print?

 

Let's try these steps:

 

Step 1: Check the Network connection

  • On the printer control panel, touch the WiFi icon and check the network to which the printer is connected.
  • On the PC, check if it is connected to the same network as the printer.
  • Make sure the PC and printer are on the same network.

Step 2: Run Ping Test

  • Obtain the Printer's IP address by touching the WiFi icon.
  • Open up the run command with the "Windows key + R" key combo.
  • Type cmd and hit ok

  • A command prompt window(black screen) would open up
  • Type "ping the IP address of your printer" for example: "ping 192.168.1.3" and hit the enter key.
  • Run the ping test and share the results

Also, try printing from the printer EWS page

  • Obtain the Printer's IP address by touching the WiFi icon.
  • Open a Web browser like chrome, firefox or Microsoft Edge
  • Type the IP address of the printer on the browser's address bar and hit the Enter key.

            

  • The Printer's EWS page opens

           

  • Go to Tools and select 'Print Self Test Page'
  • Check if that prints.

 

Let me know what happens.
