Hi @Noemi326,

Welcome to HP Support Community. 
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I see that you are facing printer offline issues with your HP Printer when printing from Mac computer.

Please follow the steps listed below to reset printing systems and then add the printer.
1. Click the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences.
2. Click Printers & Scanners, Print & Scan, or Print & Fax.
3. Right-click (or Control + click) anywhere inside the Printers window, and then click Reset printing system.
4. Click Reset or OK.
Note: Once you click on reset any other printer added to this computer will also get deleted and needs to be added again.
5. If prompted, type your username and password, and then click OK. The printing system resets.
6. Turn off the printer, wait 5 seconds, and then turn on the printer.
7. Wait until the printer is idle and silent.
8. In the Printers window on the Mac, click the Add button.
9. Select your printer from the list, and then click Add.
It might take a few seconds before your printer displays in the Printers list.

I am using an IPad, so this solution doesn’t work.  Believe me, I have reset router and printer many time.  The printer network shows up.  But it can’t find my printer.  This happened immediately following a cartridge change

I suggest that you follow the steps listed below to uninstall and reinstall HP Smart App:

Step 1: Uninstall HP Smart App.

1. Navigate to and open Settings

2. Select Apps or Application Manager from the device Settings

3. Select HP Smart

4. Select Uninstall

Step 2: Reinstall HP Smart App.

1. Download the HP Smart app from 123.hp.com (Android, Apple iOS, iPad OS), 

or HP Smart - Microsoft Store (Windows), 

or HP Smart - Mac App Store (Mac).

2. Open the HP Smart app.

3. The app searches for recently installed printers.

- If your printer displays, click it. If you are setting up a new printer, it might display with Set-Up under the name.

- If your printer does not display, click the Plus sign, and then follow the on-screen prompts to add your printer or set up a new printer.

Good morning Rainbow 23. You kindly replied to my post re wireless v hard wire printing,  but I cannot locate my post to respond to your PM,  and your email to me does not provide a link or response.  I have so many PWs I lost this one, and had to establish a new account to get back in to the site.  If convenient would you try  “PB1more1” please?
