HP 7855 printer lost connection to desktop computer but prints fine from cell phone and laptop computers. What do I do to re-establish the connection on the desktop?

@Ken19481, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
It looks like the printer is on the network as you are able to print from other devices.
- Make sure the printer and the PC are connected to the same wireless network.
- Either 2.4GHz network or a 5GHz network.
- If you have a Dual-band router and both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks share the same name/SSID, the printer will not be able to connect to the network. In this case, contact your Internet service provider to assign different names to both the networks.
