Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.
 

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:

  • Is your router dual-band enabled i.e., both 2.4GHz and 5GHz? If yes, make sure the dual band has different SSIDs for 2.4G and 5G networks.
  • What is the distance between the router and the printer?
  • What's the Wi-Fi light status on the Printer(Blinking or Steady)? 

While you respond to that, let's prepare your printer for a wireless connection, and restart the printer, computer, and router. 

  • Turn the printer off, and then wait 10 seconds. 
  • Disconnect the printer power cord from the printer. 
  • Turn off the computer or the device you are trying to print from. 
  • Connect the printer power cord to the printer, and then turn on the printer. 
  • Disconnect the power cord from your wireless router, and then wait 10 seconds. 
  • Reconnect the power cord to the router. Wait until Internet service is restored. Internet service is interrupted while the router is off. 
  • Turn on the computer. 

This printer supports WPA encryption, check if the router is on the same encryption method. If using WEP or WPA-PSK+FT change it to WPA-PSK.

 

And, also verify that your printer is not in Use Printer Offline mode. Select Start  > Settings  > Devices > Printers & scanners. Then select your printer > Open queue. Under Printer, make sure Use Printer Offline is not selected.

 

Refer to the article: Printer offline By the end of the article you will be able to isolate the issue.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
