I can connect wirelessly to printer from my PC but when I try to print nothing happens. I can "see" it on hp smart but even if I try printing through HP Smart nothing gets sent and just seems to get stuck in printer queue

If not yet done,
Consider...
Check that Windows Updates are current and installed - If any updates are Pending, Restart the computer and log in
An easy "Catch all" when all else appears to be in order:
Restart everything, including the router that controls your network
Next,
Check the Temp folder permissions
Check / Restart / Rebuild the Printer Queue - Print Services
Example - Temp Folder - Permissions - Spooler / Print Services
Print_Services_Print_Spooler_Temp_Folder_Permissions_2
