Welcome to the HP Support Community.

 

Let's restore the network settings on the Printer:

 

1. From the printer control panel, touch or swipe down the tab at the top of the screen to open the Dashboard, and then touch ( Setup ). 2. Touch Network Setup. 3. Touch Restore Network Settings. A message appears stating that the network defaults will be restored. 4. Touch Yes

 

Once done, connect the Printer back to the Wi-Fi.

 

Let me know if this helps.

The  solution of restore default settings worked temporarily..Printed a few times and started saying "offline" again..

Repeated solution given but still saying offline again.

checked wireless settings and reentered password

HP Recommended

Create a TCP IP port

 

1. Print a Configuration Page to get the printer's IPv4 address (you can also tap on the wireless icon on the front panel of your Printer to get the IP address)

2. On your PC, go to Control Panel, from Devices and Printers, right-click the printer and left-click Printer Properties, select the Ports tab.

3. Click Add Port, select Standard TCP/IP Port, then select New Port and follow the wizard.

4. Type in the proper IP address for the printer.
