Repeated notifications that printer "is set as default destination for this environment"

[AndyHasPrinter]

I think it is about network, because if I change wireless I get the notifications again.

When I login to computer, I get several notifications in a row that my printer was set as the default destination for this environment.  At one level, I'd like to not get the notifications anymore.  But what is it doing?  Is something not set up correctly?  This started after we restarted out router.

Any ideas?

Hi @AndyHasPrinter,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to assist you.

I see that you are facing an issue with your Printer to the network.

Please follow the steps below to connect your printer to the network again.

1) Uninstall the HP smart app by click on this link, Restart the computer or mobile device to clear possible error conditions.

2) Enable Wi-Fi setup mode: When you turn on your printer for the first time, it is temporarily placed in Wi-Fi setup mode so that it can be discovered during setup. Use the printer control panel to restore Wi-Fi setup mode, and then set up the printer again. Go to Restore Wi-Fi setup mode on your HP printer for more information.

3) Refer to this link to use the HP smart app on your phone/tablet/PC to add a printer.

Note: Enable Bluetooth for an HP Smart app setup: Enable Bluetooth on your computer or mobile device so that HP Smart can detect the printer during the setup.

Thanks.  I tried  basically that (I think my printer is old enough that a couple of things didn't match exactly), and restarted, and did not get all those notifications.

Sorry, I was not clear.  The problem was too many notifications.  I did (basically) what you suggested and the notifications stopped.  That was the intent.  I marked your post at the solution.

I will go and also mark it as helpful.

thanks
