Common problems for Connectivity Issues
We would like to share some of the most frequently asked questions about Printer Wi-Fi, Connectivity Issues and Offline Status. Check out this link: HP printer is offline or unavailable.
HP Recommended
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

It's a Smart Tank 559

The wireless icon says that the printer is not connected. After printing the Network Configuration page I noticed the network name was "Plusnet". This is wrong as I have recently changed supplier so I suspect this is the cause of the issue

I have tried all the options to do with resetting the printer and resetting the wifi but to no avail.

 

I would be grateful for any assistance

 

Thanks

 

Pete

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:

  • What's the Wi-Fi light status on the Printer(Blinking or Steady)? 
  • 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.

While you respond to that, let's try these steps: 

Restore the printer network settings from the printer control panel:
 

Once it's done try connecting your printer to the network. 
 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

Hi Echo_Lake,

 

Thank's for helping. I've found what I was doing wrong. My PC was connected to the router by an Ethernet cable. I unplugged it and then went into the HP App on my phone and connected the printer to the Wifi. 

Thanks for your assistance
