It probably woke up from sleep and got a different IP address than what your computer thinks it has.

 


Click here for network setup using HP Smart but in a different language

You may need to reset the printer: instructions here

Wi-Fi setup to router using smartphone: instructions here

For Wi-Fi direct setup click here.
This is useful if there is no modem or you do not want to give someone access to your modem but you want to let them print something..

Simple push button or WPS setup is described on page 6 of User Manuall. You have 2 minutes to get back to the printer after pushing the button on the modem / router.

Let me know if you have a flex system (WiFi boosters or repeaters) as the setup is much more complicated.

 

If this happens frequently you can set your printer so that it doesn't sleep, or you may have to set a fixed IP address in the modem. It might be easier just to use wifi direct
