Printer not connecting through bluetooth, but prints just fine for copying, shows out of paper

[2busyteacher]

Printer works just fine for copying, but I can't get it to connect for printing from laptop through bluetooth, even though it shows bluetooth is working really well.  It shows a paper out error, but that is only for the photo paper of a different size.  What gives?

Unless there has been some recent change, Bluetooth is only used to configure the printer.  Wi-Fi is used for all printing.  HP Smart uses Bluetooth to find and communicate with the printer.

General help for new router or printer
1 - Restore Wi-Fi setup mode on your HP printer
2 - Wi-Fi connection is lost after router or network settings change
3 - HP Smart help with printer connection.

Please provide the exact model name of the printer for better assistance as I may be able to find videos to show how to connect or fix the problem. A printer can be a PRO or a PLUS or have the letter 'e' after the number and that can make a big difference. Some printers with the same number ID could be a LaserJet, Deskjet, or Officejet.

Thank you!  I checked and it did need to be connected to WiFi again!!  Don't know why, but it did.  Working just fine now.
