My printer tells me the "private" something is on, but it is preventing me from printing general stuff. How do I find and change it so it will print whatever I ask it to print. I am currently wireless.

A "private printing thing" : Private Printing - Available on HP+ Printers
“Print Anywhere App” Supported on Select Printers
HP Printers - Print Anywhere with the HP Smart App
Step 3: Use Print Anywhere
Open Subsection: Private Pickup (HP+ enabled printers only)
Enable / Disable the service to hold the print job until the person who sent it is near the printer.
