That is not much to go on --

There are so many sources of issues when using an unknown printer model connected to an unknown network (or not), and printing from an unknown computer running (possibly) an unknown version of Windows.

 

Perhaps tell us more about the situation.

 

OR

Asking Duck-Duck AI

"trying to print from computer and can't  HP"

If your HP printer is connected but documents won't print, try power cycling the printer, checking the print queue for stuck jobs, and reinstalling the printer driver through Windows or the HP Smart app.

 

Replace "HP Smart app" with "HP" app --

HP App is the replacement for HP Smart on those versions of Windows where the application is supported.

 

-- What else? --

 

Keep asking the question with additional keywords to define the issue until you receive an answer that makes sense in the context of your setup.

 

Don't like Duck-Duck?  Use any search engine, browser, and AI source that you like.

 

Be extra careful of websites that promise magic -- these might be giant scammer holes.

 

You can also provide additional information here in the Community and perhaps someone can help.
