Hello @Pam1024 ,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Here's what you need to do:
- Disconnect printer/scanner from computer- Disable WLAN, WiFi and/or remove the USB or LAN cable.- Do not switch off the printer >> unplug the power cord from the socket!
- and uninstall HP Smart
- Uninstall HP printer software, and then remove the printer from your Devices list.
- Restart the PC
- Close all programs
- download only this complete package: HP Software – Offline Use Only
you need a USB cable - Close all programs
- Reconnect the printer to the power supply and switch it on (if this does not happen automatically)
- Please note: WLAN has to be deactivated!
- Restart the PC
- Open up the run command with the "Windows Key + R" key combo > in folder Downloads double-click on the EXE,
File name: HPEasyStart-16.2.4-LJM207-M212_UWWL_52_3_4930_Webpack.exe (157.5 MB)
Via USB, means wait until the installation asks to connect the printer/scanner. - The installation was completed successfully, now you must ...
- Restart the System again
- Now the installation is complete.
Document error messages accurately, even better is to take a screenshot of it and upload here.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards

Hello!
I had the same issue as you! I could not print or do anything and the Printer would not connect. The lights was a solid orange color constantly. However, I called HP+ customer service, and he was very accommodating and he was able to solve my issue!! Here are the steps that I had to take to resolve my issue:
First I reset my printer by pressing the wifi button and "X" button simultaneously.
I went to the HP Smart app (I wasn't signed in) and hid my printer. I added a new printer and went through all of the steps, EXCEPT, I did not click continue for the last step.
Next, I searched the printer's IP address and went to HP Web Services. From there, I enabled a setting. It all had to do with a setting turned off that had to do with the internet disconnection!
I went back to the HP smart app and then pressed "Continue" It did ask for me to try again, but when I did, It finally worked! I was able to re-set up my printer and now it works and will print through all accounts and devices
