Hi @woofie,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

 

I understand that you are I’d like to help!

 

To provide you with an accurate solution, I'll need a few more details:

 

Are you connecting the printer to a 2.4 GHz network or 5 GHz network?

 

Is it a private (Home network) or a public Wi-Fi connection? Wi-Fi direct? Or Hotspot?
What device are you using the printer with a Windows computer, Mac, Android, or iPhone?


How is the printer connected to USB or Wireless? 

Meanwhile, try the following from this document and see how it goes. 

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.

I am using 2.4GHz and a private home network wifi connection. My computer is a wifi computer using windows 11.

My printer worked on wifi using my PC , until I moved the printer  to my flat. I could not connect it to my lap top there. On returning to this address I now cannot reconnect it on the PC. The wireless icon on the printer no longer shows and is inactive so all the printouts and instructions cannot be carried out as I cannot see or use the wireless icon.

Also the printer does not connect even with a usb connection. The PC recognises the printer but fails to print
