HP Recommended

Here's a new one.

I have added my HP Envy to my account. This is why it is listed here. It is also listed on my IOS/i-Phone App  as My Printer.

 

So, when I select the "Connect this printer to use all features," I am prompted at a second screen to "Add a printer --> Choose an available printer." I select that, then, very quickly (1-2 seconds),  a "Printers" search bar appears, then disappears and is replaced by the message "No available printers found. Check with your admin for assistance."

 

Why is my recognized printer not showing up for me to access features? What does "check with you admin" mean? This is a personal printer connecting to a home network on my MacBook.

 

I have already, painstakingly, followed all, and ever-worsening, instructions to connect my printer to my home wifi. Also worth noting (maybe), when I plug the printer into my USB-3 port, I can print.

 

Help me. This is ridiculous.
