HP Envy 5546 failing to connect with Macbook

[ZamHaq]

My HP Envy 5546 Printer has been working fine with my Macbook the last few times. I usually use a USB connector beween my printer and laptop to print. However, the last two times I've tried printing I get the message that the 'Printer is not connected' and that my mac is 'looking for printer'. I am connected to the wifi on my Mac and there is no independent problems with the wifi. The Printer is also printing whenever I test it. The mac and the printer are not connecting/recognizing eachother

Thanks for visiting the HP Forums @ZamHaq,

I understand you are having issues while accessing web services. Try assigning a static IP address and a manual DNS address to fix this issue. Try the steps below:

* Obtain the IP address of the printer – You can touch the “wireless” icon on the printer control panel to obtain the IP address.

* Type the IP address on your web browser to obtain the printer EWS page on your computer.

* Go to the “Network” tab – Click on “Wireless (802.11) – Then click on “Network address (IPv4)

* Click on the radio button which says “Manual IP” and then click “Suggest a manual IP address” to give a manual IP address to your printer.

* Click on radio button which says “Manual DNS Server” and under manual preferred type 8.8.8.8 and under manual alternate type 8.8.4.4 (This is Google DNS server address)
