Installed new all-in-one printer. Computer & printer linked via wireless router. Computer & printer are connected to router. Attempting to setup new printer using HP Smart app. App searches for & finds new printer which appears as "online" and displays following message "If you want to connect to your printer using Wi-Fi, makes sure the printer is turned on and click Refresh. To set up a printer not listed, click Set up a new printer". Clicking Refresh produces same result (new printer listed & same message). Clicking Set up new printer produces steps to manually connect printer to Wi-Fi router and attempting to find the printer (make take a few minutes depending on network speed) but printer is not found. Appreciate any suggestions you may have!

Hi,
Print and evaluate a Wireless Test Report and evaluate its results:

Please let me know the results, as well as the top header of the report, does it indicate any attention or a warning?
