Thank you for posting on HP Support Community.
 

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, I have a few troubleshooting steps we could try to fix the issue:  

To prepare your printer for a wireless connection, restart the printer, computer, and router. 

  1. Turn the printer off, and then wait 10 seconds. 

  2. Disconnect the printer power cord from the printer. 

  3. Turn off the computer or the device you are trying to print from. 

  4. Connect the printer power cord to the printer, and then turn on the printer. 

  5. Disconnect the power cord from your wireless router, and then wait 10 seconds. 

  6. Reconnect the power cord to the router. Wait until Internet service is restored. Internet service is interrupted while the router is off. 

  7. Turn on the computer. 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

Thanks for your answer.

I have tried all the steps already previously without any success. Now I have realized my trivial mistake: PC and printer were connected to different networks, I could solve the problem by connecting both clients to the same network.
