@Charlie-5855_, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
Let's get your HP printer connected to the internet and printing again. Please follow these steps:

Restart Everything

  • Power off your printer, router, and computer.
  • Wait 30 seconds, then power on the router first, followed by the printer and computer.

Check Printer’s Wireless Setup

  • On the printer’s control panel, go to Settings > Network Setup > Wireless Settings.
  • Select Wireless Setup Wizard and choose your Wi-Fi network.
  • Enter your Wi-Fi password carefully.

If your printer doesn’t have a touchscreen, press and hold the Wireless and Cancel buttons together until the wireless light starts blinking. Then use the HP Smart app to complete setup.

Use HP Smart App (Recommended)

  • Download the HP Smart app from HP Smart - Official Site. HP Smart
  • Open the app and click Set up a new printer.
  • Follow the on-screen instructions to connect your printer to Wi-Fi and add it to your computer.

Check Printer Status in Windows

  • Go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers.
  • Right-click your printer > Set as Default Printer.
  • Make sure the status is "Ready" and not "Offline" or "Paused"

I hope this helps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.
