Hi @6GX01EVNBJ00547, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
If your HP LaserJet MFP M234sdwe printer is not detecting your computer, try these steps:
Check Connection Method
If using Wi-Fi:
- Ensure both your computer and printer are connected to the same network.
- Restart the printer and Wi-Fi router.
- Check the printer's Wi-Fi light (it should be solid blue).
- Run HP Print and Scan Doctor to diagnose network issues.
If using USB:
- Try a different USB port on your computer.
- Use a shorter USB cable (preferably under 2 meters).
- Check in Device Manager (Windows) under Printers or USB Controllers for errors.
Check Printer Status
- Print a Network Configuration Page:
- Press and hold the Information button on the printer for a few seconds.
- Check the IP Address and connection status.
- If the printer is not connected, try reconnecting via HP Smart App or printer settings.
Reinstall the Printer
Windows:
- Go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
- Right-click the printer and select Remove Device.
- Download and install the latest HP drivers from HP's website.
- Restart your computer and re-add the printer.
Mac:
- Go to System Settings > Printers & Scanners.
- Remove and re-add the printer.
Reset the Printer
- Turn off the printer, unplug it for 60 seconds, and restart it.
- Try connecting again.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
