HP DeskJet 2655 Offline

[countrymouse214]

I have a HP DeskJet 2655 All in One printer and it keeps saying offline. I have Windows 10. The wireless button on the printer is on and steady, so I'm connected to the internet. I have ran the HP Print & Scan Doctor several times and things get fixed but the test page will not print. I want to run the printer wireless. Can anyone help me?

 Hi @countrymouse214,

I'd like to help with the printer connectivity issue.

Try the below suggestions-

 Use HP Print and Scan Doctor to check connectivity

Download a special version of HP Print and Scan Doctor specifically created to help with printer offline conditions.

1. Download HP Print and Scan Doctor.
2. Run HPPSdr.exe from the download location on your computer.
3. Once HP Print and Scan Doctor opens, click Start, and then select your printer.
   • If your printer in not in the list, turn it off and on, and then click Retry.
   • If there is a connection problem, follow the instructions in HP Print and Scan Doctor.
4. If a screen prompts you to turn on printer updates, click Yes.
5. If a screen prompts you to make your printer the default printer, click Yes.

Set a manual IP-

To set a manual IP and try the steps below -

Print a Network Configuration Page and take down the printer's IP address.

On the printer's control panel, press the Wireless button  and the Information button  at the same time to print the page
