My HP 9015 printer was working fine on my wireless network and then I had no option to connect. I go to my network settings and a prompt comes up saying "An ethernet cable has not been detected. Make sure that both ends of cable are inserted correctly". I am not connected through ethernet and it will not give me an option to connect through wifi anymore.

Hi @jerome49 

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! We're here to help you get back up and running.

 

 

Thanks for explaining that—it's genuinely frustrating when a printer that was working fine suddenly drops its wireless connection and defaults to Ethernet. 

This usually happens when the wireless function gets disabled internally, either due to a glitch or a firmware hiccup. 

 

Let’s walk through a few steps to help restore your Wi-Fi option.

 

Steps to Re-enable Wireless on HP OfficeJet Pro 9015

 

1. Reset Network Settings

This will clear any corrupted configurations:

  • On the printer’s control panel, swipe down to open the Dashboard
  • Tap the Setup (gear icon) > Network Setup
  • Select Restore Network Settings
  • Confirm the reset

Once done, restart the printer and check if the Wi-Fi option reappears.

 

2. Run Wireless Setup Wizard

If the Wi-Fi option is visible again:

  • Go to Setup > Network Setup > Wireless Settings
  • Tap Wireless Setup Wizard
  • Select your Wi-Fi network and enter the password

 

3. Update Firmware

Outdated firmware can disable wireless functionality. You can update it here:

Download the latest firmware for Windows 11 and install it while the printer is powered on and connected via USB.

 

Let me know how it goes. If the Wi-Fi option still doesn’t return, we can dig deeper into service-level resets or alternate setup paths. 

 

You're doing everything right—just need to nudge the printer back on track.

Take care, and have an amazing day!
