Printer not connecting to web services and printer is set up for internet

[aliban]

My husband recently wanted to scan a document to email, and it said:  Server Problem.  The printer could not connect to web services. The server might be busy or unavailable. Please try again later. That was last week. We did switch internet carriers months ago but like I said we're all set up and connected to the internet. What is the problem and how can I resolve it?

Welcome to the HP support community.

I understand that you are unable to scan to email, follow these steps to fix the issue.

Turn On Web Services

• Make sure the printer is connected to a wired (Ethernet) or wireless network with an active internet connection.

  NOTE: 

  If you connect your printer to a computer with a USB cable, web-connected printing services do not work.

  • If your printer is connected with a wired (Ethernet) connection, check the cable and the lights on the printer’s Ethernet  port. The green link light should be steady, and the orange activity light should blink when the cable is connected.

  • If your printer is connected with a wireless connection, make sure the wireless feature is on and the printer is connected to the same network as your computer.

    Some printers have a wireless icon  and a blue light on the front of the printer. If the printer has a blue light, and the light is on and not blinking, your printer is connected.

• On your control panel, press the HP ePrint icon.

  If your control panel does not have an HP ePrint icon, navigate to Web Services Setup, Network Setup, or Wireless Settings to open the Web Services menu.

  • If a summary screen displays, Web Services is already on.

    

  • If a prompt to turn on Web Services or set up HP ePrint displays, follow the prompts to turn it on or set it up.

    

• If you are prompted to update the firmware, press OK.
