HP Smart Tank 515 Wireless All-in-One
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My HP Smart Tank 515 works fine except I can't get it to print via Bluetooth. I ran the HP Print and Scan Doctor which claimed to have resolved some issues but it still won't print via Bluetooth.

Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.

 

  • Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I appreciate your efforts to try and resolve the issue. 
    Are you getting any error messages or codes?
  • Did you make any changes to your printer? 
  • Are you able to print from other devices? 

While you respond to that, let's try these steps: 

  • With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
  • Remove USB cable, if present.
  • Wait for 2-3 minutes, and press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
  • Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
  • Turn on the printer and wait till the warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle. 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

Dear Echo_Lake,

Thanks very much for your reply.

I tried the things you suggested. Unfortunately the printer still won't print via Bluetooth.

My PC reports that the printer is offline. That message comes as a notification which appears for 10 seconds or so then disappears.

I tried to print from my Smart phone (Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime) and it works from there.

Any suggestions?

Thanks so much for your help so far.

I hope this finds you well.
