My iPhone and laptop and wireless hp evny 5530 are all on my WiFi and internet. My wireless printer worked two days ago and now my iPhone and laptop can’t detect the printer.

@Frustratedsoul, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 

 
Here’s a clear, step-by-step guide to get your HP ENVY 5530 printer working again on your Wi-Fi network:

Basic Checks

• Printer On & Ready: Make sure the printer is powered on and has no error messages.
• Wi-Fi Light: Check that the blue wireless light on the printer is solid (not blinking). If it’s blinking, the printer is not connected to Wi-Fi.

Reconnect the Printer to Wi-Fi

Sometimes printers disconnect from the network due to router updates or IP changes.

On the printer screen:

• Tap the Wireless icon or navigate to Settings > Wireless Setup Wizard.
• Follow prompts to reconnect to your Wi-Fi network.
• Enter the correct Wi-Fi password.

Once connected, make sure the wireless light turns solid blue.

Restart All Devices

Power off and restart:

• Your printer
• Your iPhone
• Your laptop
• Your Wi-Fi router

Wait for everything to reconnect. This can reset any IP conflict or glitch.

Check Printer on Your Devices

🖥️ On your laptop (Windows/macOS):

• Go to Settings > Printers & Scanners
• Remove the HP ENVY 5530 if it’s listed.
• Click Add a printer again to rediscover it on the network.

📱 On iPhone (AirPrint):

• Open any app (like Safari or Notes), tap the share icon and choose Print.
• Tap Select Printer and see if HP ENVY 5530 appears.

Optional - Use HP Smart App

• Download the HP Smart app from the App Store (iPhone) or Microsoft Store (Windows).
• Open the app and add the printer.
• If the app can’t find it, tap Set up a new printer and follow the on-screen steps to reconnect it to Wi-Fi.

Print a Wireless Network Test Report

You can do this directly from the printer:

• On the control panel, go to Settings > Wireless > Print Reports > Wireless Test Report.
• Review the printout — if it says “Not Connected,” the issue is Wi-Fi.

If after all this, the printer still can’t be found:

Assign Static IP

Sometimes printers drop off networks due to dynamic IP assignment. You can:

1. Get the printer’s current IP from the Wireless Network Test Report.
2. Access your router’s admin panel.
3. Assign that IP to the printer's MAC address.

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
