HP ENVY Photo 6255 All-in-One Printer
Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)

1. I had my HP ENVY Photo 6255 installed on my WiFi network and it was working fine.

2. I was uninstalling older printers that I had used but no longer were in use and I accidentally uninstalled the HP ENVY Photo 6255.

3. I attempted to reinstall the HP ENVY Photo 6255 but the install software couldn't find the printer on the network from my HP 6735b laptop, so I quit the install.

4. I powered off the printer, waited a minute, powered it back on. Install couldn't find the printer.

5. I tried using Control Panel > Hardware & Sound > Devices & Printers > Add a Printer to install the software.  My HP 6735b laptop couldn't find it.

6. I used my Dell Latitude laptop (Windows 10) and was able to see the printer the first time I ran a search from Control Panel > Install printer. 

7. I tried to use the HP install software again. My HP 6735b laptop still couldn't find the printer.

8. I reset the printer's network to factory settings, powered off the printer, removed the power cord for two minutes, powered back on, set up the printer on the network again. 

9. I used HP's install program again to attempt to install the printer software. The printer could not be found.

10. I used my Dell laptop to search via Control Panel & could not find the printer. Subsequent searches have not been able to find the printer.

 

I'm wondering if there is anything that I haven't tried, in order to see this printer on the network.
