Hi@Redneck1952,

Welcome to the HP Support Community! I'd like to help!

I see you are experiencing issues with the HP DeskJet Printer cannot connect to laptop. I apologize for the Inconvenience. 

I have a few recommendations 

• First, try restarting your computer, printer and wireless router. To check if your printer is connected to your network: Print a Wireless Network Test report from the printer control panel. On many printers pressing the Wireless button allows direct access to printing this report.
• Click this link for HP printer setup (Wi-Fi network) https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/ish_1780623-1698506-16
