Welcome to HP Community

 

I have gone through your Post and would like to help

 

Is it the first time you are setting up the printer?

 

Please check these details

 

- Ensure the printer and the computers are connected to the same wireless network.


-Note:- This printer supports only 2.4GHz network. Do not connect it to 5 GHz Network incase your Router supports both 2.4 and 5 GHz


- If you have a Dual-band router and both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks share the same name/SSID, then the printer will not be able to connect to the network. In this case, contact your Internet service provider to assign different names to both the networks.

 

Keep me posted
