@romac, Welcome to HP Support Community!

What happens when you make photocopies?

Which application are you trying to print from?

To be able to assist you better, I'd like to know the following-

• Are the printer and PC connected to the same network?
• Is your router dual-band enabled i.e., both 2.4GHz and 5GHz?
• What is the distance between the router and the printer?
• Is there any antivirus software installed on your computer?
• Could you perform a ping test using the Mac Network Utility and let me know the results?

Use the printer IP address to perform a ping test, the printer IP can be located by selecting the wireless icon on the printer display.

The wireless status menu on your Mac should also give us quite a lot of information that would help us identify the issue. You can press and hold option-click the WiFi icon and then use shift-command-5 to take the screenshot. Press the space bar when the icon turns into a camera. Share the ping test results and the screenshot with us.

Also, check with your Internet service provider if your router is able to forward 'Bonjour packets'. 

Bonjour locates devices such as printers, other computers, and the services that those devices offer on a local network using multicast Domain Name System (mDNS) service records. The software comes built-in with Apple's macOS and iOS operating systems.

Keep me posted for further assistance.

Are the printer and PC connected to the same network? YES

Is your router dual-band enabled i.e., both 2.4GHz and 5GHz? YES, as far as I know

What is the distance between the router and the printer? Within 10 feet

Is there any antivirus software installed on your computer? YES, I’d be dumb if it was not installed

Could you perform a ping test using the Mac Network Utility and let me know the results?

When will HP support macOS Big Sur Version 11.2.2?

@romac

Use the terminal to perform the ping test. Use the command- Ping<printer IP adress>   

after 10 pings ctrl c

Let me know the results.

@romac

ensure that the printer is up to date with its firmware and Mac is up to date with its software. If you are unsure you may use the links below to update the printer firmware and Mac software:

Update printer firmware

Update software on Mac 

Remove and add the printer

Click the Apple menu, and then select System Preferences.

Depending on your operating system version, click Print & Fax, Print & Scan, or Printers & Scanners.

Click the name of your printer, click the Minus sign, and then delete the printer.

Click the Plus sign, and then click Add Printer or Scanner.

Click the Use or Print Using box, and then select AirPrint

Click Add to add the printer to the list.

Try to print.

Several times I have attempted to do a Firmware Update.  I tried again and the end result, for HP's software, is:

Cannot update the device.

This Firmware Updater does not contain upgrades for your device.

So, I into System Preferences, Printers & Scanners and deleted the HP Envy Pro 6400 series.  Then click a=on ADD and added it back.  Now I'm missing the scanner portion.  How do I add that?

[romac]

Using the HP SMART app, it indicates the software and firmware are up-to-date!

Found an IP Address for the printer in HP SMART app.  Here's a new ping test:

I printed a single page after all the above and it took a little over two. minutes.

@romac

Thanks for replying!

So when you mention the scanner option is missing, are you able to print?

Refer to the document How to scan with an HP printer to learn about alternate scanning methods.

Keep me posted.
